XTOOL A30M vs. D7 Comparison Review, What's Different?

What's different between XTOOL A30M & D7 Diagnostic Tool? Today I'm gonna do a detailed but quick comparison review of these 2 devices side by side. Hope this can help you to make an informed decision.

The first obvious difference is that the XTOOL D7 is a standalone tablet-style tool while the A30M needs you to pair it by Bluetooth on a phone.

Despite this difference, these 2 scanners have a lot in common. They're both all system diagnostic scanners, meaning that you have access to every single ECU that's installed in the car.

They're also fully bi-directional tools and the A30M has kept up with every single bi-directional or actuation test that I've been able to do with the D7 on my 2017 Honda Accord. So I haven't been able to put a knife between these two when it comes to directional tests in terms of OBD2 protocols. I haven't really seen any difference between the two as well.

By the way, if you're wondering what the difference is between the 3 versions of XTOOL D7, D7S, and D7W. The D7S simply boosts improved hardware and supports the diagnosis over Internet protocol when compared to the traditional D7. The D7W does everything that the D7S does but in addition, it makes a wireless connection to the car via Wi-Fi. So if diagnosis over Internet protocol is a must for you, then you should be looking at either the D7S or the D7W.

These tools really begin to differ when it comes to special functions. The A30M supports 21 kinds while the D7 supports 36 kinds for my Accord. For example, the A30M doesn't support key programming. So if key programming is an absolute requirement for you, the D7 should be more suitable.

Another major difference between these tools is that the D7 supports ECU coding while the A30M doesn't. So if you're looking to customize those hidden functions or settings in your car, for example turning off those annoying beeps or doing other coding stuff again, the D7 will be the obvious choice here.

However, just to state that not all cars support ECU coding, you can't just simply buy a D7 or any other scanners that support ECU coding and say you want to code any cars. This is by no means exhaustive. But generally, Mercedes, VW, Audi, and Lexus are examples of cars that support ECU coding.

For me, the real break difference between these scanners is with support for vehicle updates and the cost. The 30M comes with lifetime free updates and I've been amazed at how frequently these updates get pushed to it. Despite being a lifetime free update tool, you'll also get it usually retailing for Ł138 on our web. For the D7, it comes with 3 years of free updates, and after that, it costs $99 per year. For a new license retail cost is typically around Ł294.

If you're looking for these 2 devices, all above are my comparison reviews.

(Solved) CGDI CG Pro Can't Write Mileage on 35160WT EEPROM

Customer's problem: I bought 10/2023 Cgpro v2.2.0.0 from you, I have issues with my device I cannot write mileage on 35160wt EEPROM, and it seems to not be able to initialize the device properly before writing new data to EEPROM. Is it possible to file a complaint about this to you?

I even just tried increasing mileage by 2000km and trying to write backup Again, the same issue. Initialization error after 25 mins at 95%.
Is new status, after messing around with it I can only read 16km dump out of my EEPROM. When it's soldered to the cluster it shows a mileage of 45019km. It looks like it cannot read the EEPROM any longer either.....

Solution:
Chip heating or replacing the spare chip.
35160WT erasing heating method instructions (if the chip cannot be erased, you can try it):
Before operation, adjust the air gun to 100°C and heat the chip for 20 to 30 seconds (the chip is soldered to the board). After that, stop heating and put it on immediately to try the operation. After waiting for the chip to cool down completely, if the chip has not entered the second stage for erasing, you can reheat it with an air gun for 20 to 30 seconds and then stop heating. The chip may be erased during the cooling process.

Customer's feedback:
I tried and tried and tried today and I found a method with a heat gun that finally worked! So now I have successfully written 16km to EEPROM. I will remember this method for next time and Hopefully, it'll last! I'm sorry for the inconvenience but please understand my anger when in the field and this didn't work. Have a great weekend!

(Fixed) VVDI PROG Read NEC3529 Prompts "Adapter invalid"

A few days ago we received a case sharing from a customer about the solution to "VVDI PROG read NEC3529 prompts 'Adapter invalid' ".

Customer's problem: I tried to read the NEC3529 using the XDNP82 adapter and the software still tells me that the adapter is invalid, look at the picture.
all contacts are ok, also on FLMD 3.3V

Later, the customer found the problem himself and successfully solved it:
Problem solved!
The adapter does not work at a voltage of 12V.
The voltage on the power supply must be at least 12.5 V.

Thanks to Jan Sima for sharing with us.

Lander Rover Gear Lever Control ECU

Procedure:
Choose [Test Platform] >> [GEARLEVER] >> [GEARLEVER LAND ROVER/JAGUAR]
Click [Guide] in the lower left corner, carefully read the development background and operation methods.

There are two methods to choose from:
Method 1:
The wire in terminal 2 of the T006 wiring harness needs to be cut off and you need to install a 12V control switch yourself or reconnect and disconnect both ends of the cut wire when you click start to control the lifting and lowering of the gear lever.

Method 2:
Use a jumper connection. When you click Start, test the gear lever by plugging and unplugging the jumper of the control power terminal (see the wiring diagram for the control power terminal).

Here we are using method 2, connecting with the ECU jumper
We will test the gear lever by plugging and unplugging the jumper from the control power terminals
Click [Pinout] to view a detailed connection diagram.
Find the wiring diagram for the corresponding module and connect the harness according to the wiring diagram.
