Pros & Cons
Pros
Easy to use, connects to phone via bluetooth and an app. Compatible with my phone and my honda odyssey. Only problem is the manual that came with it.
Ancel autoscanner is a great tool for anyone who pays attention to what’s going on with their car. Youtube has professional, clear, and enjoyable operational videos. The holder is good and firm.
Very nicely done and intuitive design, takes care of the lack of instrumentation that the honda engineers felt was unnecessary. Allows for freeze framing or recording to show your mechanic or save for comparison. Works great on my audi a4. Allows you ... Read More
This thing does what it's supposed to, reads codes, suggests what repair to make, and clears codes. Got the part and the abs problem was solved. This works like most obd2 scanners by itself where it'll read trouble codes and erase them.
Cons
The handheld unit works perfectly fine, but without any app to utilize your phone, this model is useless to me. Neither search nor using the qr code in the manual help. It now needs an update and does not install from the computer.
Highlights
Quality
Easy to use for current performance purposes and battery life.
You can read and clear error codes, it can show real-time data, and it can test your car’s battery with this scanner.
Vent mount is a poor design and adhesive failed on the metal plate on back of unit in less than 2 weeks.
The system turns off after a few minutes of ignition off and turns on when the button on the left side is pushed.
Price
I even had the info double checked with my friends snap on scanner that costs thousands of dollars!
Sure, it is not the full-featured $$$ system used in shops- probably 10% of the cost of what's in the shop.
Right product for the right price, of course only does so much but very good overall.
Shipping
Wonderful customer service asking all questions i had very quickly!
This product arrived fast and in good condition.
It came the next day, which was important, and via a quick youtube lookup i saw how to plug it in, super simple.
Competitiveness
I tried a highly rated $14 dongle and downloaded and tried 3 different android apps.
