Foxwell NT520 (NT510) - Good or Not?

Foxwell NT520 Pro– This is for those looking a decent car diagnostic tool for his/her own car(s), usually as personal use.


Why did IsaidNT520 (NT510) is good for personal diagnostic?

Because:

  1. NT520 is used for diyer only (not for repair-shops)

usually good for a customer with one or two cars, better with five or less

5 programs at most for a unit (for 5 car brands)


Note that you can get ONLY 5 car brands software authorization with NT510, while you could get ALL software authorization with NT520 and install less than 5 programs on the NT520.


Please deletethe software you’re not using if you want another program. For example, if you have MB, VAG, GM, BMW, Volvo installed on your NT520, but now you need Ford software, you should remove one ofprogramsyou’ve installed and then install the Ford. It’s because the SD card storage limit will lead to bad user experience like running speed and also it’s necessary to leave some space for data recordingin indiagnostic tests.



  1. Software from Foxwell is cheaper than that from Autel or Launch

Foxwellsoftware authorization: 60 euro per program (with FREE update lifetime)

Autel software update: free for the first twoyearfor English version & free for the first year forother language version, then 1200usdper year for all programs

Launch software update: free for the first two years, then 499usdper year for all programs


  1. NT520 is a hand- held tool

It depends. Some like handheld, some like pad, some like phones)
