I use the Xtool D8 and before that the D7 on my wife's 2020 Passport Touring and I've not noticed any abnormalities although there's not much to do since the vehicle is presently trouble free. I also use the D8 on my 2008 Honda Pilot and there's no abnormalities in the scan results either.
Anyone Using Foxwell's NT510 Elite Scanner on Current Model Passport?
Does anyone have experience using the Foxwell NT510 Elite Scanner on a current model (2019 - 2023) Passport? I have a 2023 Passport EX-L and the scanner seems to read and report on the OBDII and Honda specific Control Modules properly but it shows the car as a 2023 MR-V (if I let it determine what the car is via Auto-Vin) which, as far as I can figure, was a version of the Pilot for the Middle East around 2001-2009. If you try to manually specify the vehicle 2023 does not appear as an option and Passport does not appear in the model list for 2022 and earlier. WTF?
Anyway, I have THIS question in to Foxwell and hope to get an answer (we'll see!) BUT I am also interested in how well anyone using it likes or dislikes it. I've read a lot of good reviews on the unit and it appears solid in person. There are a lot of low-cost OBDII-Only Scan Tools out there but I wanted something that could also work with the many Honda Control Modules the car has and this appeared to be a good fit. If it's truly any good is the REAL question and I was surprised that I didn't find out more about the unit on a search here and of the Honda-Tech forums. I thought they would be pretty common but that must not be the case?

OP (Barry)...Does the scanner's box have a silver (2.0" x 1.5") HONDA label on its side and does the boxes' bar code say "Foxwell NT510 Elite OBD2 Code Reader for Honda"?
I ordered mine from Foxwell and specified "Honda", so I wouldn't need to download any supplemental software.

Yes, all specified and marked for Honda with lots of Honda & Acura models from 2022 and earlier loaded but no Passports and no 2023 models. I was able to create a FoxAssist account & update the unit to the latest software so I had everything they have to offer for Honda. They asked for the VIN and I sent it. Got the following message back from Foxwell's (apparently AI powered) support staff TWICE in response to two different questions:OP (Barry)...Does the scanner's box have a silver (2.0" x 1.5") HONDA label on its side and does the boxes' bar code say "Foxwell NT510 Elite OBD2 Code Reader for Honda"?
"The model year of the vehicle is too new and has been confirmed with the engineer. It is not supported and there is no recommendation."
SO, that's THAT I guess. Back to Amazon it has gone! What a bummer... :-(
