With more functions, 85+ covered manufacturers, a 2-year warranty and free software updates, we’re delivering a combination of power and value that other tool brands can’t touch.

Review: Very Functional Unit for Price (FCA Autoauth Capable) - Very solid unit for the price. Initial setup is quick and simple - mine on an Android based phone. Normal Play Store app install and then a few demographic entries for registration and license key activation. First use then goes into vehicle specific data downloads. Expect 5-10 minutes as this unit has compatibility with many vehicles makes and models. Once initial config of the app is done and the unit is plugged into the vehicle OBD port the app connected quickly. Once connected to the unit the app gives you the option of doing vehicle specific diagnostics either automatically or manually. The auto detect function worked well for multiple vehicles - BMW, 2015 and 2024 Subarus. Speed of the diagnostic scan depends on the actual vehicle as each of mine varies but all were extremely fast when compared to my other scanners (hardware and software based). The initial scan auto detects VIN, make, model, etc. and then scans all of the vehicle's available modules. Once scanned you can view a large amount of module parameters and states. A few examples - for the 2015 Subaru it was stated on a different forum that the GW tools do not have CVT fluid temp, which is key to proper filling procedure. Well, I can confirm that it does w 1/10th degree resolution. While I was in there, I was able to read and clear all errors across many modules. While in the transmission module, the BT unit has a broad number of good monitors for many different states (e g., shows live state of each gear) and a nice feature is it gives the normal value ranges for the numeric monitors. Just to check, I went into a few other modules and was please to see the same broad range of monitors (for example, live state of brake light switch) which makes troubleshooting and ruling out certain components so much easier. Unlike other scanners, you don't have to setup a data display screen to see every value. You do have the option to monitor the value trends and then generate a report. For the BMW, it actually has BMW error codes vs P codes and a large number of diagnostics when compared to my other BMW specific scanner. The unique item I wanted to try was the FCA Autoauth function which allows you to bypass the firewall on newer FCA vehicles (e.g., Fiat, Chrysler, Ram, etc.). Tried the unit in my 2019 Ram 1500 - unit auto prompts to enter an Autoauth account - I was able to quickly login w my Autoauth account and it was able to get through the secure gateway to do full diag and actuation - this is a big bonus. Aside from diagnostics, the unit has a robust set of functions that you can perform (of course these are vehicle specific). As an example, with a button push or two I was easily able to place the emergency brake in maintenance mode on all my vehicles with this unit. All in all, a pretty decent unit for the money especially for multiple makes. Of course this does not do what it isn't designed for - so it is not a programmer and doesn't claim to be. So for those with dealer lever tools (like ISTA for BMWs) this won't give you module layouts, troubleshooting plans or maintenance plans - but what it advertises itself as it did an exceptional job across my 4 different vehicles.
Review: Very impressive , just be careful as this is a pro level tool - So there is a ton of options in today age with countless companies making diagnostic scanners now and I spent a lot of time researching and reading technical data and reviews for most Bluetooth scanners that are this style that uses ur phone and an app instead of a dedicated device and after all my research the GW pro , XTool A30m (identical to GW pro) and top don master were the ones I choose from. This being the cheapest of the 3 and With my experience dealing with Gear-wrench/ apex tools with their no hassle Stand behind their product without question customer support is why I choose this over the others. If the top don master was 50 bucks cheaper I would have bought it But hands down this GW pro can’t be beat for the money I spent. 110ish at the time of purchase. This thing is a treasure trove of information and to buy a dedicated scanner that does what this little device will do will cost you significantly more 2x-3x more easily. Now this thing has some features I really like. You can custom pick diffrent sensors and place them on a graph chart all together and something I have only seen a few high end scanners do. You can also click on a sensor and it will pull up a graph in live time of what that sensor is doing. It goes so in depth that I even had to look up what some of the info meant and iv been a professional tech for 5 years now. Now obviously this isn’t a dealer level tool but its not $3000+ either .The Bi directional control allows me to test way more things then a lot of info led on and really no reviews went in depth to how much this little device does. I could literally write for an hour and not cover a quarter of everything I have found and that’s just on two car brands so far in the 2 days iv had it and keep discovering more every day. Definitely recommend but be careful you can also seriously damage ur car with this thing to so be very careful and if you don’t know what something is DO NOT TOUCH IT.

### ⭐ Doesn't Scan Completely For Me
*by J***S on May 11, 2026*

I got this a while ago. I have tried using this on my 2016 subaru xv hybrid from Japan but it doesn't really scan it fully not able to read codes of the engine. I have also used it on my 2020 Mazda CX-30 with a VIN but it was also unable to scan the engine codes from that. The most useful thing we can get from it is the transmission codes and monitoring. Even the manual mode of selection doesn't really help. I have tried reaching out to the company for a while but no ones responds. So just be careful it may work with some vehicles but not all it seems.
