- Reviewed in Canada on May 15, 2024Verified PurchaseI recently purchased the TOPDON Phoenix Lite 2 scanner and had a chance to use it on several vehicles. The Phoenix Lite 2 is a very well-built unit and has a premium, semi-soft finish in hand. The unit looks and feels great in person C looks very tough/rugged. The Phoenix Lite 2 comes equipped with different extensions, owner manuals, and is packaged in a rugged plastic case. It's light-weight, easy to use, and arrived fully charged. The user interface is nice and simple, has a straightforward menu selection making it very easy to use and navigate through options. The Wi-Fi connection was very easy to set-up and establish connection. Additionally, scanning/diagnosing/clearing errors was very fast. Im very happy with the unit and the quality service/assistance that I received from TOPDON customer service team. I would recommend this scanner to anyone who is looking for a very capable bi-directional scan tool for DIY or commercial work.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 11, 2023Verified PurchaseBought the Phoenix lite as I needed to work on my Hondas 2011. Pleasantly surprised how well made this kit is and I do like the User Interface. No issues to connect to both cars and used it for troubleshooting. Very happy with my purchase and the customer support (Eric) has been proactive sending Q&As right after registration was done. Also answered some questions I had very quickly. Havent ha dthe tool very long yet but up to now I do recommend it.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 6, 2024Verified PurchaseThis is my first topdon product, and I'm very impressed. I am tech at a Gm dealership, I find myself picking up this scan tool over the manufacturer tool 90% of the time. It will do almost all of what the oem tool will do as far as diagnostics go. Which is really saying something. While also being priced very competitively, and feature packed. Also the battery life is quite good. 3 weeks of daily use before I had to recharge. Don't hesitate to purchase this tool.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 22, 2024Verified PurchaseInitially, I was a little upset that while unboxing. The product didn't come with the activation code. The user manual and YouTube reviews showed an activation code required.
Anyway, I couldn't reach support as it was weekend. A 24hour support like Ancel devices would have been nice but they responded to my email on Monday. The new products are now being verified by email and no activation code is required.
There was no notice about this. I booted the product and sure enough. No activation code needed. I searched the internet prior to see but no info about this new activation process. Anyway, when you get past that. It's a great tool but it does miss a few advertised features as it's dependent on the vehicle.

- Reviewed in Canada on November 30, 2023Verified PurchaseI found the User interface really intuitive on this tool. I also really like the client matching and logging that is able to be done on the device. It also syncs with my other devices to store the collected data and keep a history of clients and our work. It's a super high quality build and is the go to tool for diag. 4
- Reviewed in Canada on February 25, 2025Verified PurchaseBought this scanner as the first scanner in my new shop I opened. I was shocked with how responsive the unit is and saves me so much time while scanning custom cars. The feature of being able to create diagnostics report to email to my customers with my shop information on the header make explaining to customers so much easier. Functionality 10/10 it does everything especially mainly working with BMWs. Affordability 10/10 this tool cost so much less and gives so much more then others tools ive looked at. Entry level to Professionals pick this up! its fantastic!
- Reviewed in Canada on March 30, 2024Verified PurchaseGood tool except didnt come with topology
- Reviewed in Canada on June 20, 2025Verified PurchaseI've used the zues snap on scanner. This scanner can actually do more then it at a fraction of the price. Perfect for a do it yourselfer all the way to a shop owner like myself. Everything i needed in an easy to use program.

John K.Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 20235.0 out of 5 stars Compact and Capable!
Verified PurchaseHaving come from and routinely use scanners from the likes of Autel, Launch, and SnapOn, the Topdon Phoenix Lite 2 offers an excellent balance of performance and value for a sub $800 scan tool. It is compact enough to be easily handled and stored, but big enough that you're not fighting to read or see what it has to offer. Holding the unit, it has a thick protective rubber case, which offers excellent grip and undoubtedly?very good protection from any incidentals. The layout of the operating system is easy to navigate and very intuitive to use. If you're ever used a tablet style scan tool, you'll have no issues navigating and using the Phoenix Lite 2. Unlike most other scan tools of this nature however, I don't see any way to access the tablet's operating system, which honestly, I personally don't mind,?but if you're looking to utilize?the?scanner for tasks other than what it is intended to do, this might not be the?ideal tool for you. You do have access to a web browser, various social media apps, and some useful automotive?repair related preset links, which for me is more than adequate. Software and firmware updates are easy to initiate (one click) and quicker than any of the other scan tools I have ever owned. Two years of free updates?is definitely?a plus, but the cost to upgrade thereafter is somewhere?between $450 and $550 a year, which is a bit high IMO. It's cheaper than what some of the aforementioned competitors charge, but on the high side when you factor the system's cost basis. For someone using this as an aid to earn a living, that annual upgrade amount may not be such a big factor, but for the average DIY'er, it might be a hard?pill to swallow. The whole system comes in a nice and sturdy storage case, loaded with adapters for the most popular make and model vehicles. Although the hard case is great, I opted to purchase (see my profile?for the review) a smaller tactical style soft case, aka molle pouch, for everyday?use. It fits the tablet, the wireless dongle, and charging?hardware perfectly. Battery life is excellent and far better than any of my other scan tools. Another small but noteworthy feature is the built-in stand. It is easy to deploy and position to accommodate any angle or surface condition. In the module sub menu, there are links for the optional wireless BTMobile ProS battery tester (not to be confused with the Pro model), an oscilloscope and thermal image camera. All of which are optional devices but nicely incorporated into the device. I've used the scanner on a handful of vehicles thus far, and it's proving to be a quite capable compact scan tool. It can easily keep up with and or even?out pace scanners costing twice as?much. The autoscan feature works well and is relatively fast. Some vehicles take longer than others, and just like any other scan tool, you will on occasion run into those that don't scan at all. If and when you do encounter an application that won't auto scan, Inputting vehicle?data manually only takes a few seconds, so it's not a deal breaker by any means. The history function which keeps track of previously scanned vehicles / modules is a great feature. It allows you to go back and see things you may need to reference for repairs or knowledge. All in all, I am quite impressed with this little scan tool. Whether you're a shade tree DIY type enthusiast, or a full-time gear head, this is definitely?one scan tool you might want to keep around for all your daily diagnostic needs. It'll never replace?a dealer level scan tool, but in most cases, 75% of those who need a scan tool, don't necessarily?need dealer level access and or function ability. Last but not least, and to set the record straight, scanners at this price point will always have their inherent limitations. You will always encounter certain vehicles and or applications that have limited functionality. If there's something specific you're looking to do or test, I suggest you reach out to the manufacturer with the make and model vehicle you intend to work on and ask if it is?compatible or capable of the task at hand prior to your purchase. The manufacturer has always been very communicative?whenever I've?had a question or concern.

James HarrReviewed in the United States on October 9, 20225.0 out of 5 stars High quality, great features, and customer support
Verified PurchaseI run a small 1 person, 3 bay auto-repair shop and this tool will pay for itself quickly with the capabilities it packs. In only a few weeks, this tool has proven it can do what I will need it to, and the company seems to be on top of customer service, which drove me away from Autel, Launch, Xtool, and others. The Phoenix lite 2 comes with all power adapters I could imagine most people will ever need. There's lots of OBD1 adapters as well as extra fuses for the power adapters that are included. Everything seems well thought out. For the money the construction of the tool/tablet is much higher quality and solid feeling in the hand than I would have imagined. Honestly, this feels like a better built tool in your hand than a Snap-On scanner. The menus and navigation take a little bit of time to get used to but I have been able to use it for some pretty complex resets and diagnostic repairs on Toyota hybrid and ABS systems, modern Ford KAM data clearing and relearn procedures as well as diagnostic work. The amount of access to live data, recording capabilities, the fact that it can be used as a tablet to access information on the internet, it truly shocking for the money. Updating the tool is easy, and free for two years. The battery arrived with 98% charge and has been holding a charge very well without needing to be charged very often. The PDF diagnostic reports that it automatically generates are pretty slick and will definitely help generate money with this tool in a shop environment, these are saved to the tool and can be emailed directly to your shop computer or the customer or both.

In only a few weeks, this tool has proven it can do what I will need it to, and the company seems to be on top of customer service, which drove me away from Autel, Launch, Xtool, and others. The Phoenix lite 2 comes with all power adapters I could imagine most people will ever need. There's lots of OBD1 adapters as well as extra fuses for the power adapters that are included. Everything seems well thought out. For the money the construction of the tool/tablet is much higher quality and solid feeling in the hand than I would have imagined. Honestly, this feels like a better built tool in your hand than a Snap-On scanner. The menus and navigation take a little bit of time to get used to but I have been able to use it for some pretty complex resets and diagnostic repairs on Toyota hybrid and ABS systems, modern Ford KAM data clearing and relearn procedures as well as diagnostic work. The amount of access to live data, recording capabilities, the fact that it can be used as a tablet to access information on the internet, it truly shocking for the money. Updating the tool is easy, and free for two years. The battery arrived with 98% charge and has been holding a charge very well without needing to be charged very often. The PDF diagnostic reports that it automatically generates are pretty slick and will definitely help generate money with this tool in a shop environment, these are saved to the tool and can be emailed directly to your shop computer or the customer or both.5.0 out of 5 stars

Verified PurchaseI love this scan tool! A great tool at a great price. The functionality is on parts with other scan tools that cost 2x as much. The auto vin function works quickly and efficiently. The kit comes with plenty of OBD1 adapters for Asian, Domestic, and European. One thing they do need to design is an OBD 1 adapter for Ford. Specially for a 1993 ford ranger xlt where the diagnostic port is in the engine bay.
I love the fact this tool can be used with an oscilloscope and other tools. The oscilloscope will more than likely be my next purchase. The tools learning material function has the ability to look through diagnostic software if you have an account and can be used while using the tool.
The code look up library is still a work in progress. Most DTCs don't have any data such as a U1010 code. If you have all data or identifix you can get the information.
Getting used to plugging into a car the tool hasn't plugged into before is kind of a challenge. It'll bring up several options for the DLC. Such as 16 pin or 17 pin or European or other. It is kind of confusing. Most cars after 1996 are 16 pin dlc which is standard.
So if you want a great tool to start off with at a good price, this tool does it all. Thanks TOPDON!
