ANCEL Echo OBD2 Scanner Bluetooth - All Systems Code Reader, Car Diagnostic Tool for iOS Android, Vehicle Scanner for Oil Light & Brake Reset, Battery Registration - Bidirectional Scan Tool, Live Data

Purchases to check out some codes on a 2015 Mercedes GLA 250. This was very easy to use and paired with my phone easily. It provides the information I needed and I was able to clear some old codes as well.

Finally, a quality, current Obd2 reader that is fast and easy to use PLUS doesn't hit you with additional fees..... At least I have not ran into anything yet. Additionally, alphaobd works with this. This checks off every box for me. My search has come to an end. It's worth your consideration.

The unit works reliably and presents an ELM327 interface to 3rd party apps like Car Scanner. The Ancel Echo app works reliably and has OEM Add-Ons for Manufacturer-specific custom PIDs; however, it is unable to collect real time data streams from multiple modules (like Engine and Transmission) simultaneously and what is worse, it does not save the time-series data collected for export or exploration at a later time. If the app matures to add these features, it would great.

Works for my three toyotas(08 RAV, 15 sienna, 15 TC). Will not communicate with my 07 chevy colorado. Good information in the app, support is semi-helpful. Would be nice if it had more documentation. It took a lot of poking a guessing to find the transmission oil temperature. One other frustration, There is an option to change between imperial and metric measurements but even when set to standard the streaming data is metric. Overall it's not a bad tool if you can catch it on sale just be cautious if you're buying this for an older GM product. Hopefully Ancel will continue to support the product with updates to improve the app.

The app crashes when I try to connect to my 2019 f150. It recognizes my truck as a car? Then crashes.Wish they would create a more stable app. Unable to do much.

I used this on Kia Niro 2017. It reads and clears codes from all the modules of the car, using the app. Boots fast with the app. I do not believe it will run water pump (for purging) nor will it prime the hydraulic clutches. But for reading and clearing most all codes, I think this works well.After using it for awhile, I was prompted on the app to upgrade, which I accepted. Not clear to me if I updated the app or dongle. Afterward, it no linger recognized the car as a Kia, I had to select Hyundai Ioniq for it to work with my car. That would be my main reservation. I haven’t investigated further, I just select ioniq (they are same cars underneath) and it works. Also, does not have much debug capability to debug parking assist nor blind spot detection systems.

Started getting a check engine light on my 2017 Titan. Borrowed an older scanner from a neighbor which didn't really tell me what the issue was, but I was able to clear it. Check engine came back on, so researched these ODB2 scanners that worked via bluetooth, and this Ancel Echo had great reviews, so I took a chance. Received it very quickly and installed on my cell. Plugged it into my Titan and ran a scan, which immediately threw me 2 codes which told me that my Grill Shutter was the problem. Researched on how to replace it, but couldn't even find the part. Took it to a local shop and they confirmed that the Grill Shutter needed to be replaced. I do carry this around in my truck and will use it whenever needed.

This is a product every car owner should have. The more I use it the better I get. It's easy to use. Honestly, it's definitely more difficult understanding what everything means. I usually just look up everything to familiarize myself with a lot of new knowledge but well worth it. Good thing I got to get to know just my car, not everybody else's. Just finding the recalls for my vehicle was worth it. I already scheduled an appointment with the dealership to get the recalls fixed. Strongly recommend this product.
