ANCEL BD200 Pro OBD2 Scanner Bluetooth, Enhanced Wireless Code Readers ABS SRS Transmission Airbag Car Scanner Diagnostic Tool with Battery Test, Check Engine Light Exclusive App for iPhone & Android

Very impressed with the features and informations provided. I purchased this to diagnose a air bag error from my 2017 Nissan Rogue. It provided updates for my vechicle, then clear displayed the error code with a very clear description as to where the problem was coming from. It also allowed me to clear the error message after fixing it, and later rerunning additional tests. Highly recommend!

As a nonmechanical woman, I just want my car to go when I need it to, so when multiple lights started showing up on my dash, I envisioned expensive mechanic bills and experienced some bad anxiety. This scanner requires an app download to your phone, so you can take your readings from your device and understand the diagnostics, even if you're not mechanical. I discovered what the problem is in my engine and that my battery needs to be replaced which I didn't know, so this device allowed me to save the money on a diagnostic from a mechanic who may or may not be totally honest. This has allowed me to start calling around to compare conversations and estimates. I store this in my car's emergency bag and wonder how I went without one for so long. I think this device is very good value in that it gives a car owner a way to validate what their mechanic is saying, before or after. Buy with confidence!

Although the listing indicates that the BD200 Pro will read the codes on my 2023 vehicle, it will not. This was confirmed by Ancel Support. Apparently the 2023 software for Jeep is peculiar. As the Ancel Support is in China, this took about a week to accomplish. Waste of my time - I hope they correct their listing. If the BD200 Pro had worked as listed, this would have been a 5-star review.

This ANCEL BD200 Pro OBD2 Scanner Bluetooth has quite a few functions and comes with an exclusive app for iPhone and Android, included in the price. It's Bluetooth wireless and connects easily. The software is simple to use and provides all the basic functionality needed to start diagnosing most issues. I didn't see any advanced tests or diagnostic procedures for ABS, SRS, or transmission. Using this name brand ODB2 dongle alleviates concerns about plugging a badly made no-name ODB2 into your car's computer and causing damage. It works well as a diagnostic scanner, no problems.

This is a review of the ANCEL BD200 Pro OBD2 Scanner Bluetooth (Enhanced Wireless Code Reader ABS, SRS, Transmission, Airbag, Car Scanner Diagnostic Tool with Battery Test, Check Engine Light - Exclusive App for iPhone & Android) I am using the Android version of the Ancel app. This comes with a little pouch and users manual. I first tried this on a Volvo S60 (OBD2). Once I installed the app and connected the device I was prompted for location permission (to scan Bluetooth) and for my VIN. I tried the diagnostic menu (the most useful entry) and was able to see the 'dash board', 'data stream' and run diagnostics. I then had an "ECU communication error" and it prompted me to download the Volvo extension (after I picked Volvo from the list). With this installed the 'dash board' function went away, but I was able to run diagnostics. The error codes were inconsistent and seemed to come and go at random. Most of the listed functions were not supported. Considering the age of the car (2002), one would have thought that they would have had better results. Maybe VADIS is the only real solution. Note: If I didn't let it load the Volvo extension I got the 'dashboard' & 'datastream' back. There really should be a separate menu entry for this! (May be instead of the flashlight?) On to a newer BMW X5. I had already downloaded the BMW extension and seemed to have some better luck as it could read the VIN and other information right away. The first scan showed no faults, the deep scan bought me to a menu with quick and deep scan options which both showed the same thing. At least this was consistent, unlike the Volvo results above. The fault codes could have had better descriptions. I don't know how useful this would be for a professional, but for my Volvo it's mostly useless. It might be better with North American vehicles, YMMV! Note: I was using the latest Android app and the device reported its firmware was up to date. I'm giving this a 3 of 5.
