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.
