ANCELDS700 Elite Bidirectional Scanner with Topology Mapping, ECU Coding & 40+ Services, FCA Autoauth, Auto Diagnostic Scan Tool, 2 Years Free Update, All System OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Tool

Let me start right off the bat by saying this thing way more than what I need as a casual user. This would be right home is actual auto shop with the pros. I just use it to get a feel for what is going on with my cars before I take it for repairs so I know what to expect. It easily does that. It gives a full break down on what's happening under my automatically without me really even knowing what I'm doing.The build quality of this seems top notch and I have no doubt with care it will last just fine even in an actual auto shop business. It comes with all the various adapter connectors one would need to make this work and was super easy to setup and start using right out of the box. I highly recommend this for anyone who is serious about auto repairs.Easy 5 out of 5 stars!

I have 4 vehicles vehicles, a 2011 ford ranger, a 2018 honda sport civic, a 2007 VW New Beetle and a 2008 Jeep Wrangler, and not one of them are recognized by the scan tool.It's not hard to connect, and it's very simple to do so, but it just refused to recognize any of my cars, even though the connection from the ODB plug part appears to connect to the tablet part quite quickly.At first I thought that I was doing something wrong, but I it doesn't recognize any of my cars.I thought at first that I must have been doing "something" wrong, because while I have owned several really nice scan tools, I never had one this expensive, but I found several youtube videos and I am doing everything correct, it's just not working.(Update) I went to my neighbors house, he is a mechanic at a dealership near me, and asked him to check it out. He was initially quite impressed with the unit, until he actually tried to get it to work with his 2021 Ford F150, and it wouldn't recognize his vehicle. He then tried it on his wife's 2020 Ford Focus, and got the same results. His verdict was that it's "broken".I have sent an email to the seller, and I guess well have to see what they have to say.I had been contacted by the seller and they were very helpful in trying to find out the problem, even though I had already sent back the defective one. They sent me a replacement and as soon as I plugged it in I saw that the problem was obviously the adapter part the fits into the OBDII port in the car. The new one lit up, I didn't even know it had a light previously because it didn't do anything. It turns out that while I thought it was connecting, it apparently was not. What I was seeing was that the tablet part was connecting to my internet and was able to download the updates, but was never able to see my car, or apparently even see the adapter that I plugged into the car.The replacement one went from blue to green to blinking blue when it was connecting and transferring, whereas the original one never lit up at all.I was able to run a diagnostic scan. There are a lot of capabilities in it, and it will take me quite a while to test them all, but at least now it works, so I can do that.

This is a true professional-level scan tool!The features not only match but often exceed those of other top-name brand scanners that cost five times as much.Pairing it with AutoAuth for FCA vehicles is relatively easy once you have an active subscription. This functionality is highly valuable in a professional automotive setting, where access to FCA's Secure Gateway modules is essential.The topology mapping feature is extremely useful for visually diagnosing issues across multiple vehicle modules.Live data streaming and the user interface are highly responsive, with very minimal delay between the scanner and the VCI Bluetooth module, ensuring real-time diagnostics along with very quick bluetooth paring.The battery life is outstanding, lasting for days—sometimes up to a week or more—before requiring a recharge.The 8MP camera is adequate, though the picture quality leaves a bit to be desired.The included adapter kit allows connectivity to virtually all vehicles one could dream of working on.Lastly, the device includes an onboard docking station for additional accessories, although these haven't been released yet.While some features (such as TPMS, printer, flash light, Ancel store(?)) are not yet functioning (‘Coming Soon’), this device is #1 recommended by me to any of my fellow mechanics for diagnosing and maintaining vehicles.+1 for the ability to email a customer/client the diagnostic report with just a few clicks, while helping maintain customer records.
