WhatCarTool is a catalog of automotive diagnostic tools. You can check which device works with which car and which functions it supports. The forum is where users and manufacturers discuss those tools.

What do the colors mean?
- Blue is for general forums: rules, help, discussion and support.
- Amber is for manufacturer forums: one per brand.
- Green is for device forums: one per device in our catalog.
Where should I post my question?
- About one specific tool: that tool's device forum.
- About a brand, its licenses, support or product range: the manufacturer forum.
- Anything else: General discussion or Technical Problems and Support.
Why can't I find a forum for my device?
Device forums are created automatically when a device is published in the catalog. If your tool isn't listed yet, ask in General discussion or suggest it in Moderation and Feedback.
What does the "Manufacturer" badge mean?
The account belongs to an official representative of that manufacturer. Their answers come directly from the brand.
Can I sell or buy tools here?
Yes, but only in the Marketplace sections. Selling cracked software, license keys or stolen equipment is not allowed.
My post disappeared. What happened?
It was probably moved to a better section or removed for breaking the Forum rules. If you are unsure, ask in Moderation and Feedback.
I'm a manufacturer. How can I get my own forum?
Register as a manufacturer during sign-up and add your devices in the Manufacturer Panel. Your forum is created when your first device is published.
How do I report a problem or a bad post?
Use the Report button on the post, or write in Moderation and Feedback.
Which language should I use?
English only, so everyone can follow the discussion
