Htul A30M. Everything you need!

The Xtool A30M is everything the average handyman, the discerning handyman or the everyday professional needs. It's the same tool, but app-controlled (Anyscan), except for a few features that many of us probably won't need or use, like Xtool D7. It also has the exact same interface if you are using an Android device. On an iOS device, it just skips the home screen and goes straight to the diagnostics page. There are many videos on YouTube that explain its features and how to use it, although you will need very little instruction at this stage. If you're like me, hands-on experience is the best way to learn. I bought mine to keep in the car when traveling and use when needed. I also use it when I'm helping someone out or trying to make an extra buck at home or elsewhere. It's probably worth buying an extension cord to avoid leaving it in the car, as I almost did when diagnosing a problem with my daughter's van. There's a point where the app reminds you to remove the key, but I have a habit of just hitting "OK" out of habit without paying attention to what it's actually saying, so give that to me Extension of the possibility of tripping. as I get out of the car. It's a great tool and recently I realized that while there are many trip tests (bi-directional) to run/test components, it can also be used in the live data realm as an active device to test different components . For example, operate the power window motor when testing operation to test the motor itself, but manually operate the power window switch with real data and observe how the data changes as the switch is moved up or down. It's a very useful device and our creativity can be its only limitation. Another thing I almost forgot, and it's very, very important. Customer support is great! Depending on your time zone, you may have to wait until the next morning or afternoon, but you'll get a response and your issue will be resolved. This company is not like one that will take your money and then leave you with a problem that needs to be fixed. Give it a try, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!
