The NT530 works best in the tool and implement section

I've been told that if I buy it for my Porsche I can get a cam deflection and overspeed report. I found out later that there will be no change report. Tried to see cam deflection. There is no joy. I wrote to the seller, said to update the software, I updated it, it still doesn't work. It has some features that a regular code reader doesn't have, so I don't think it's a total loss.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Expensive

Don't waste your money on an update

Bought as my NT510 is a bit old (so I thought) and couldn't read overloads or do softcoding like the NT530 was advertised. Bought and plugged in, expecting various menus to pop up in the Porsche program one day only to find out it's none other than my NT510 for a 981 Cayman. Brilliant. I contacted support with this issue and heard crickets. Twice as cool.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • I'll write back later

NT530 does not work as advertised and no response from customer service (auto parts for fast delivery)

I bought this product with the Porsche brand pre-installed. I attempted to register a freshly installed battery on my 2015 Porsche Macan S and quickly found that the Foxwell NT530 could not do the job advertised on the vendor's website. Several calls to the support number went straight to voicemail, and text messages also went unanswered. I will be returning this item if support calls go unanswered in the next few days.

Pros
  • All ok!
Cons
  • Not all fit

No technical support for diagnostic, test and measurement tools

Although this tool works well in general (I haven't tested all the features yet), one of the features for which I have bought it (PDK calibration for 981) will not work. This feature is listed as available. I'm not getting technical support from the manufacturer (denied because I bought from Revain), suppliers (not responding), or Revain. Revain offered a refund or credit. I don't need one or the other. I need a simple answer to "should this feature work as advertised". I do not want to returnโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I don't know more but something happened

Terrible support! in code readers and scan tools

I bought this item with the Porsche brand already installed. When I received the scanner I had a number to call if I had any problems with the scanner. After hooking up the scanner to my 2003 C4S, I found that it didn't read the actual values specified by the manufacturer. Ok ok the problem should be easy enough to solve, maybe I just need to reload the software. How wrong was I! So I called the number provided, called the guy and explained my problem. "Oh it looks like a software problem, Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Empty
