If you are looking for a small, easy-to-use adapter to read the codes, reset the codes or just get diagnostic info on your vehicle, this is it. There are no wires or cables and connect to your phone or tablet thru Bluetooth in seconds. It uses the ANCEL app that can be downloaded from the Apple store or Google Play store.
It also does
so many other things as well. It can test your battery voltage, give you the
time it takes to go from zero to sixty, how long it takes to break and stop,
and for those that like to check how your trip and milage is going, it can give
you that as well. Those are just a few things that it can do for you.
You need to
leave this plugged into your car for some of these tests and readings as you
drive, but others can be done just sitting in your driveway or garage. I would recommend
throwing it in your glove box when not in use to keep close in case you need it
some other time. Not sure I would leave it plugged in all the time depending on
where your OBD port is located under your driver side dashboard, as it could be
easy to kick as you get in and out of the car all the time. Some tests require
about 20 minutes of driving time for the car to warm up properly before getting
any readings to show or to be accurate.
Don’t let the size and price full you.
This is a professional diagnostic adapter that can read and clear codes that
cause your check engine light to come on. It will also give the possible cause
for this error and allow you to look up that code on the internet from inside
the app itself. It can also
perform DTC search, O2 sensor test, I/M readiness, on-board monitor test, read
data stream, display freeze frame data, EVAP system test, retrieve vehicle
information (VIN) and generate diagnostic reports, saving you a lot of time and
money in maintenance.
Ever feel like a mechanic is trying to
take advantage of you, after using this, you will have some idea what the issue
is and go in with confidence what you are talking about and not just take the
mechanics' word for it. It could cost you hundreds instead of thousands with
this knowledge. This more than pays for itself the first time you have an
issue. You may even be able to fix the issue yourself if you wanted to give it
a try.
The only downside I have seen with
this is the limited number of vehicle manufacturers that this will work on,
and your car must be a newer car with an OBDII adapter port on it. Most reviews
I have read that say they couldn’t get it to work or connect, I would guess do
not meet the requirements to use this adapter and they didn’t check before they
purchased this. I have had no issues using this and it has worked flawlessly so
far.
