The difference between the D9 and the D9 Pro is:
- D9 Pro supports ECU CODING for BMW / VW / AUDI / Škoda / BENZ…. The D9 only supports the VW / AUDI / Škoda.
- D9 Pro supports ECU PROGRAMMING for BMW/ VW / AUDI / Škoda / 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

- 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.
