Xtool D9 Pro Review

 

Pros:

  • The D9-Pro appears to stand out in having the highest number of Special Service Functions capabilities, along with the longest update terms of any other competitor in this class of tools. In addition, I continue to purchase their products because they provide the most solid and extensive features, update policy, and warranty, but most importantly customer service, in comparison to their competitors.
  • It does everything and more than most people will need.
  • it does a great amount of diagnostics, very informational, lots of adapters!
  • It’s easy to use and very fast. Diagnostics updates are easy to do and really quick. Much easier tool to use than Snap-on Modis.
  • The software feels light-years ahead of the Autel MS906.
  • the network topology view really makes it easier to visualize and understand the complete system under inspection.
  • with 3 years of free software upgrades (reasonable annual renewal rate after that)
  • It’s live data is very close to what I get from my factory scanner without having to have a computer in the car during a test drive.
  • The battery last a long time.
  • I like the bluetooth connection and it really doesn’t seem to lag at all.
  • It goes more in-depth with testing and calibrating to help you diagnose the cars more efficiently.
  • The tech support has been superb and has assited with an inquires. They are very efficient and respond quickly to any concerns.
  • D9Pro is just as good as the THINKTOOL PRO-S in both form and function.

 

Cons:

Does not allow for graphing of more than one pid at a time.

The Xtool D9 and D9 Pro have many similarities, including their wide compatibility with over 70 car models and their support for a range of diagnostic systems. However, the D9 Pro has some additional features, such as support for ECU coding and programming, which make it a more versatile and powerful diagnostic tool. It also has double the storage and memory capacity of the Xtool D9 and can receive software updates via WiFi, which is more convenient than using a USB.

The difference between the D9 and the D9 Pro is:

  • D9 Pro supports ECU CODING for BMW / VW / AUDI / Å koda / BENZ…. The D9 only supports the VW / AUDI / Å koda.
  • D9 Pro supports ECU PROGRAMMING for BMW/ VW / AUDI / Å koda / BENZ / FORD (Offline) / MAZDA (Offline)…. the D9 does not.
  • The update fee for the D9 is $258, and the update fee for the D9 Pro is $358 after the 3 years of free updates.

 

The difference between D9 Pro and D8/D8BT is: 

The X-Tool D9 Pro kit is the top of the range tool by X Tool, and will let you do pretty much everything the garage & Main Dealer workshop will do. It is one of the most advanced Scan Tool & Coding kits I have ever worked with.

D9 screen is roughly 1″ larger than the D8. Both the D8 and D9 will cover all main systems like engine, abs, airbags, transmission, steering, brake and so much more. They can both do Auto VIN, Read ECU Info, Read codes, Clear Codes, Read Live data Freeze Frame Data, Actuation/bi directional tests. Coding & guided function. The D9 PRO can do ECU coding & programming For special/service functions, both the D8 & D9 will cover the following:

OIL LIGHT RESETS EPB

– ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE SAS

– STEERING ANGLE SENSOR DPF

– DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER FORCE REGENERATION BMS

– NEW BATTERY REGISTRATION

THROTTLE RESET

TPMS RESET

INJECTOR CODING

The following functions are only supported by the D9 Pro:

SRS

ADBLUE RESET

EGR RELEARN

FRM RESET

NOX RESET

VGT RELEARN

HV BATTERY

A/C RELEARN

ODOMETER READ

 

Both the D9 and D9 Pro are both wireless Bluetooth. The D9 Pro comes with ECU programming capabilities on VW, Mercedes, BMW, and offline ECU programming on Ford, Mazda while XTOOL D9 does not.
A few things important to note:
  • If you don’t need ecu programming function, you don’t need to update D8 to D9 because they are similar.
  • The D8BT (bluetooth) can NOT be wired in the event the BT fails. However, the D9 CAN be wired if the BT fails.
  • ECU Programming is available on the D9 but limited to VW/Audi/Skoda. ECU Programming on the D9 Pro is expanded to BMW, Mazda, Benz, Ford, VW/Audi/SKODA.
  • D9/D9 Pro has the topology scanning to see the network diagram.
