Feb 2025 - Amazing gift from Mike Zhou, CEO of TOPDON
TOPDON Top Scan Pro
It was so great to meet Mike Zhou, the CEO of TOPDON when I flew out to Frankfurt for the Automechanika convention. Realy great to meet face to face and chat about the diagnostic equipment in person. I was able to pass on some minor niggles I've had, which were very minor and he seemed genuinely interested and wanted to pass those observatons on to the technical team which was great to hear my input was genuinely valued! Really nice guy, he even gave me a personal gift of a TopScan Pro which although it bviously has less functionality than the Phoenix Lite 3 I think it might be my new favourite go to tool! The fact that it is so small and lightweight means I can carry it wherever I go just in case an emergency pops up!
Here it is plugged into the car, I think my initial reaction is that I'll have to be careful not to leave it in a car when I leave a job, I might have to come up with some sort of fool proof method to make sure that doesn't happen. Watch this space.......
But what I love the most about has to be how portable it is, I'm literally never going anywhere without it now, here it is on my first trip abroad since I got it on the planes fold out tray table
Another great feature I discovered when having a little play around and exploring the settings menu is how the live data is displayed, so you can actually view live data in numerical form, graph for and gauge form (the gauge form is something you can't do on the phoenix lite 3 and I think it's a really cool feature, you can probably 'gauge' my level of excitement by the fact I'm writing about it now!!
