How to Check Scan Tool Vehicle Coverage Before You Buy (Every Major Brand)

Step-by-step: using the official Autel, TOPDON, Launch, XTOOL and Foxwell coverage lookups.

The single best habit before buying a scanner, or before quoting a job, is checking the maker’s own coverage list for your exact vehicle and function. Here’s where each brand keeps it and how to use it.

Autel

• Lookup: autel.us/vehicle-coverage (also autel.com coverage)
• Pick the product model, then the make, model and year, then the system and function.
• The legend separates “all support,” “part of the models support,” and “not supported.” It also notes the minimum software version.
• For a broad overview of the MaxiSYS line, see Autel’s comparison chart PDF.

TOPDON

• Lookup: topdon.us vehicle coverage tool
• Enter the vehicle and the function, and choose your tool. It covers cars, motorcycles and heavy-duty.

Launch

• Lookup: qcar.x431.com
• Choose Online-Sale, then Professional Diagnostic for PRO/PAD/IMMO tools or DIY Diagnostic for CRP/CRE (Launch instructions).
• Launch notes the list is for reference only.

XTOOL

• Function lists: xtoolglobal.com/pages/vehicle-coverage

Foxwell

• Function list by product: foxwelltech.us function list
• TPMS / OE lookup by vehicle: foxwelltech.us OE list

How to read results without getting burned

• “Partial” or “part of the models” means check the sub-model/engine. That’s where most surprises happen.
• Note the software version. Your tool may need an update.
• Secure gateway vehicles may list a function that still requires authentication (SGW guide).
• When in doubt, a real-world report beats a spec sheet. Share yours to help the next person.
