This post collects foxwellshop customers’ feedback on
multi-brand full-system scanner test reports Yes or NO on the specific models and function. And for some NT644 fail to do, NT510 and GT80 can do, go on reading for details.EPB function on 2012 year Porsche -yes
2014 Isuzu mux lst diesel 12V, Australian – No.
DPF regeneration on Mitsubishi pajero 2008 7 seats, engine: diesel 3200 engine type: V98W (this brand is called shogun/montero instead of pajero) - yes
Cover abs and airbag one one Australian ford and Toyota hybrid Camry - yes (Tip: the workable year is different from one model to other; it covers up to 2015 year).
Own a 2004 Chevy 2500HD 8.1L and a 2006 VW Passat 2.0T, the best option is NT500 scanner, and it covers all the function of NT500. Get one NT510 scanner with one car model software for free and another one software for 60USD. NT644 compare with NT510: NT644 scanner cannot cover all function of NT500, there are two functions NT644 not support SAS and Bi-directional control tests.
I have a 2010 BMW 335d, 2003 Volvo S40, 2012 Volvo S60, 2004 BMW Z4 2.5L, 2004 Ford Ranger 4.0L and a 1998 Toyota Rav4.
To reset Battery configuration on the BMW 335d, I use foxwell NT4021
To diagnose, I use foxwell AutoMaster NT644.
However NT4021 and NT644 not meet all my demands, I got one
$1,200 free shipping (Compared with GT80 Plus, GT80 has no internal battery and with different appearance). I used it to reset Battery configuration on the BMW 335d, Air Bag code reading/reset on 2003 Volvo S40, to read/reset more than just the P codes, to cover ABS, to reset service reminders on the BMWs and Volvos, to close window from key fob.What the similarities and differences among NT510, NT624, NT644 and NT414?
function is same as GT80Plus and GT80, it support few car models like 1. Chrysler/GM/Honda, Acura/Hyundai,Kia/Toyota,Lexus, Sicon/Land Rover, Jaguar/OPEL, Vauxhall/VW, AUDI, Seat, Skoda/BMW/Fiat. E.G. Nt510 can be used for BMW bleeding the brakes and also for actuation of the abs pump, also code a new battery in the car. And for simple BMW diagnostic NT510 is the best.
NT510 is one model for free and other models need to pay.
NT624 is full-system diagnosis for full car makes, but its diagnostic function is not as powerful as NT510.
NT644 is NT624+Special function
NT414 can diagnose four system for all makes.
