- OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Tool XTOOL Anyscan A30M V2.0, 2026 Wireless Bidirectional Scan Tool with Free Updates, 26 Resets, All System for Android & iPhone, Crank Sensor Relearn, EPB, Throttle Relearn

I've owned the Anyscan A30M for over a year and thought it was great for the money. I used it with my IPad. I used it to help fix a couple of my cars and some friend's cars. The bi-directional and live data features made this a very useful tool and much better than most other scanners in the price range. The updates were free, without needing a subscription, which made this a very cost effective scanner. Then it just stopped working when I really needed it. It would not communicate with my Ipad. I went to the Xtool website but there was no mention of any problems so I thought it was a problem with my A30M. Since I liked the device so much and had a car with some issues, I immediately bought a new one but this new one had the same problem so I wrote to Xtool to tell them there may be a problem with their device. I learned the problem was caused by a software update. They emailed me that the experts were working on a fix and it will be working again in a couple of days. That was over two weeks ago and my new A30M is still not working with my Ipads. There was an update for the app (6.2.1) on the Apple store. I deleted my old version of the App and got the latest version but now It has a new problem. It gives a bluetooth failure error during startup. It still will not communicate with my Ipads. I have three Ipads and none of them can communicate with the A30M. I tried an old Samsung tablet that I had and I was able to get the A30M working. I still have a few issues even with the Samsung, but at least it works. It has been very frustrating trying for a couple of weeks to get it to work with my Ipads. If you have a Android tablet you may be in luck but if you want to use it with an Ipad you may have some problems. Xtool emailed me that everyone else have gotten their A30M working again (but not me). Such a shame for what was a once a fantastic tool. If they come up with a fix that actually works with an Ipad, I'll update my review. Update**** It works with my Ipad again. This after I bought a new Samsung tablet for the device. I couldn't wait any longer so I ended up buying the Samsung Tablet to get the A30M to work. I had not been able to use the device for about three weeks and I had a Jeep in need of repair so I bought an Android tablet. Xtool kept in touch and kept helping with my old Ipad and yesterday, after deleting the APP for the third time, rebooting my Ipad and reloading the App onto the Ipad, they finally connected. I was happy because I really like my Ipad Pro but after using both the Android and the Ipad, I think I'm going to keep using the Samsung because it seems to work a little better with the A30m. I also like the interface between the A30M and the Android (Samsung) better. I was very happy with the Xtool support. I think I emailed them just about everyday and they always answered back quickly. They never gave up trying to help. I'll rate the A30M 5 stars in the future if it keeps working. ***Update*** the A30M is still working great and Xtool keeps allowing me to update the software so I'm very happy and raised my rating to 5 stars.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10 STARS! This Tool Proved the Shop Wrong and Saved Me Thousands! If you do any work on your own cars, STOP SEARCHING AND BUY THIS. The XTOOL Anyscan A30M V2.0 is the best investment I’ve ever made. It has already paid for itself ten times over by catching expensive mistakes that professional mechanics missed. Real-World Wins with this Tool: The "Fan" vs. "Thermostat" Mystery: The shop insisted my cooling fan was dead and wanted to charge me for a replacement. I used the Bi-Directional controls on the A30M to diagnosed, the real issue was the thermostat, replaced it myself, and the car is back to normal. The "Starter" Lie: A shop told me my starter was going bad because auto off feature stopped working and quoted me a fortune. I used the tool to check the system and proved it was actually just a weak battery. I replaced the battery and used the Battery Reprogramming feature to register it to the car in minutes. Headache avoided! The "Dead" Power Seat: My electronic seat stopped moving and I thought the motor was fried. I used the Seat Normalization feature to run the calibration (moving it up, down, left, right, forward, and back). Now the seat works perfectly—no parts needed! Brakes & More: I diagnosed my brakes with zero issues and used the service resets to finish the job professionally. Why this is the "Best Ever": The app is incredibly useful and intuitive for both Android and iPhone. Having dealership-level features like Crank Sensor Relearn, EPB, and Throttle Relearn in my pocket is a game-changer. Plus, the Lifetime Free Updates mean I never have to pay a monthly subscription fee like other brands. Bottom Line: This tool gives you the power to challenge a mechanic's "diagnosis" with real data. Don't let a shop guess with your money—get this and know for sure!

The XTOOL A30M scanner has worked wonderfully for me. I have tested it on several brands, and it performs very well across the board. In general, code reading and live data visualization from different modules are excellent. I was also able to program a TPMS sensor on a Toyota Camry using this scanner, which was a big plus. Overall, this scanner offers a lot of functionality for its price. It is highly recommended for those who like to have a scanner at home with features that feel very close to professional-level tools. Additionally, the after-sales support was outstanding. I had an issue, and the support team helped me resolve it quickly, attentively, and step by step. Great customer service.

I've been using this on and off for about a year now and it's just been a solid performer. I've never had an issue where I cannot diagnose it with this reader. The diagnosis is always spot on and the readings are always accurate. The app is easy to use and so far I have not had a single issue with it. The built-in flashlight is a really nice touch and initially I didn't think I'd use it at all, but I actually do pretty often. I use an iPhone and the Anyscan app has been solid. I keep it up to date, and so far I've not been pestered to upgrade anything, nor have I notice any in-app advertising. I can do a lot of resets, I can look at live data, and I am able to scan most all systems with this, so in terms of value for the money, I'd say you really cannot beat it - it has a ton of functionality for the cost and the features of the more expensive solutions. I have several ODBII scanners, all of varying cost and functionality, and this is one of my personal favorites. The great thing about an app-driven tool like this is the size and portability of it. I keep this in my backpack and since I always have my phone, I always have a full-featured ODBII scanner on me as well. I really appreciate it on long road trips, just in case.

I've used it on 5 different vehicles so far (2 just to see what functions it has) and I'm honestly blown away by the feature set it has for only ~$200. The software seems very similar to software I've used in $2,000+ scan tools from Autel, with what seems to me like almost 100% of the features and functions. It (very obviously) does not match up with Snap-On scan tools I've used in shops as a mechanic that cost tens of thousands of dollars, which to be very clear is absolutely not a knock on the product. This scan tool is competing with $2,000+ Autel scanners for a fraction of the price, and I get to supply my own device at the same time? I bought a cheap(ish) tablet just for pairing with the A30M and honestly it's just as fast as the wireless Autel scanners I've used in shops in the past, and pairing is seamless almost every time. Not to mention the fact that you don't have to pay for each separate module, and you get module updates for life? Autel wants almost $5,000 to deck out their most expensive scanner with all the modules and updates still cost loads of money on a yearly basis. Absolutely incredible. There is definitely room for polish on the software, though, as there are still some rough edges that could be worked out. Only time will tell if the "lifetime" update promise is kept. I've been burned on something like that before. On every vehicle I've tried it on the AutoVIN works flawlessly. Bluetooth connection is stable and reliable. The app is fast but it of course depends on what hardware you're running it on. The cheapest crappiest phone you can get your hands on is not going to work well with the app. Same goes for a tablet, which is definitely the way you should be using the app. The phone experience isn't great, but I don't knock XTool for that because it's not designed for phones, it's designed for tablets. The cheap(ish) tablet I bought specifically to use the A30M with works just fine. The cheapest tablet you can get your hands on will also not be a great experience. Use the right hardware and the software will shine. All the vehicles I've tried every special function has worked. And it supports a wide range of special functions. Not always flawlessly, as sometimes I had to do some things twice for it to register but I've had that same problem with other scan tools so it's probably the fault of the OBDII protocol and not XTool's fault. The reports feature is also very handy. Haven't used it much yet but it works just fine. Overall the A30M is absolutely fantastic. Customer service (thanks Jenny!) is very responsive and patient. If you are on the fence about buying it—just do it. Ignore the people that says they can't get the app to work or the bluetooth isn't reliable or it's slow. I can assure you that this is very likely user error and not an issue with the product. Follow the instructions and the device and the app will work fine; and if there's something you can't figure out, support is very responsive (for me I've always gotten a reply within 2 days). I was not compensated or pressured to leave this review for a discount or free products. I paid full price for my A30M, as well as the tablet from an unrelated brand that I'm using the software on.

I've been using scan tools for over 15 years, but until now, I could only justify using a standard OBD2 reader that provided ECU codes. While those are useful for troubleshooting, modern vehicles have many different modules that can't be scanned by a standard OBD2 reader. Not only can the XTool A30M scan those modules, it can also interact with them through it's bi-directional capability, allowing you to run tests and even actuate controls manually. So far, I have scanned these cars: 2007 Chevy Malibu 2008 Lexus RX350 2009 Nissan Versa 2013 Ford Focus 2016 Kia Cadenza 2020 Toyota Tundra I've included several screenshots that demonstrate some of the codes I've encountered. I downloaded the Anyscan app from the Google Play Store onto an inexpensive ONN Android tablet from Wal-Mart. It functions at what I would consider a normal speed when connecting to the vehicle computer. While some reviewers have complained about connection speed, I suspect that is related to the age of the phone or tablet they were using to run the app. The only issue I had was not being able to connect to the car immediately after installing the app. This was solved by rebooting the tablet and I have had no more problems since. Bluetooth range from the device to my tablet is around twenty feet, but is likely going to depend on your equipment's capabilities. In most cases, I'm sitting in the car or standing next to it, so range is not an issue for me. XTool customer service has been excellent, both before and after my purchase. They usually respond to emails within 24 hours and are courteous and helpful. This is a company based in China, and they have better customer service than many American companies. One of the main selling points for me was the free updates. The other two tools that I was considering provide one free year of updates and then you have to pay $60 to $100 per year after that if you want to keep your software current. That's not a big deal for a professional mechanic, but for someone who just wants to work on their own car, it seems like a lot. Also, there are some scan tools that only allow you to download updates for one or two vehicles, but XTool allows you to download all of the makes that you want to. I went ahead and downloaded all of the common makes in the US and it used about 10 gigs of storage on my tablet. About half of that space was from the files for VW, BMW, and Mercedes. I've had this tool for several months and there have been many updates available during that time for the makes I have installed. Overall, the A30M and the Anyscan app are easy to use. The tool itself feels well-built and solid. The voltage display does not reflect actual battery voltage, but that's not a problem for me as I will have already checked it with a multimeter. This is an impressive tool and I have recommended it to several friends.

$120.84 - OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Tool XTOOL Anyscan A30M V2.0, 2025 Wireless Bidirectional Scan Tool with Free Updates, 26 Resets, All System for Android & iPhone, Crank Sensor Relearn, EPB, Throttle Relearn Pros: - Excellent downloadable app with a great user interface; excellent reports that can be saved/emailed - Tons of features and capabilities; lots of vehicles and coverage; live data - No subscription! - Clean app interface; easy to navigate; no extra "advertisement" or unnecessary graphics Cons: - Can not perform the zero point calibration for 2004 4runner, but will trigger the symptom when it scans - The Display on the tools shows you the software version I guess; Unless you use an OBD extension cable, you really won't see it; more of a gimmick I think. - Does require a registration for the app I really wanted to keep this product. The App interface is super straight forward. No subscription. Lots of capability with newer vehicles. I probably should have kept it for my 2012 and 2016 vehicle. But on my 2004 4runner, it will trigger the loss of the zero point calibration when it "scans" the vehicle. I have to use the manual paper-clip method to recalibrate the sensor. I've gone through several OBD2 Bi-directional tools and only found one that has the zero point calibration reset...and this isn't it. I may come back to it if I need to ever do anything with my newer vehicles. The misleading "vehicle coverage" page led me to think it had the capability I needed.

I purchased this scanner after my disappointment with the Innova 5610 scanner. I was honestly desperate to find a scanner in the medium price range (below $300) that could help me diagnose my 2002 Toyota Avalon evap system. While not perfect, the A30M has everything I expected from a lower priced bidirectional scanner and more! I am not a mechanic, so I don’t necessarily have familiarity with advanced features of scanners. I needed a scanner that could help me with my evap diagnosis and also capture and graph live data for basic troubleshooting. This is where the A30M really met my needs. With a few clicks of a button, I was able to track the changing vapor pressure of my evap closed system as the solenoid valves opened and closed. I also like to keep track of fuel trims to make sure my engine is running at peak performance. This tool allows capturing multiple parameters and graphing them together. I alsoparticularly liked the Bluetooth capability, which allowed me to put my head under the car and confirm the actuation of the solenoid attached to the evap canister as well as the solenoids under the hood. I was able to quickly download the app to both my phone and my ipad. While I will normally use my phone, it’s nice to have a larger screen when graphing multiple variables, so in those cases I will connect to the iPad. In comparing this tool to Innova 5610, this one wins in every way except a couple of small details. First, the Innova 5610 allows quicker view of live data. Second, the Innova has the ability to run through the evap system test protocol step by step on my Toyota. Otherwise, I found the A30M’s Bluetooth capability so much better. The A30M graphing and live data display were 10 times better. Much easier for me to diagnose! Oh and the A30M is half the price! So I would say if you are not ready to spend hundreds of dollars on a scanner, but need something more advanced than just a a bare bones code reader, this one is for you!!!
