Easy to use, lots of functions

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2024

This tool is great! So many features for the price. Bluetooth works great, I haven’t had any connectivity problems. I have a few Angel tools now, and am really impressed with them all.

Works well I suppose but too technical for me

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2024

Hooked it up and ran it through it's paces. Seems to work well but the readouts are a little too technical for me. I kept having to go through google looking terms up for definitions and interpretations.

After my car’s check engine light came on, i was looking for a quick way to find the issue. After reading the reviews, i decided to try this. The price was good and when i received the unit, i unpacked it, plugged it in and within a minute or two, was able to get the answer and clear the current code (p0021): while this did not fix the issue, it did what i needed. Simple to use.

Solid ENGINE reader, NOT for all codes

Very easy to use, just plug it in to the OBDII and click the button on the left side of the device to take it out of bluetooth mode. Runs codes quickly. I didn't realize that it only reads engine codes, nothing else. I didn't download the app, as it's Chinese software, and I don't need that on my phone.

This is our second Car Code reader. We had a Foxwell, I think that was the brand, one prior that we liked a lot but stopped working while my husband was out of town and our car had thrown three warning lights. So I took the opportunity to research OBD readers (I think that is what they are called) as I figured we would need a new one. This one we ended up buying was on a “best of” list not only for price, but for ease of use and the display. The function of it was highly rated, but I also liked the fact that u could use the bluetooth function to connect to the device, download the free app, and easily read the issues from your phone! So much easier that the display we had on our prior reader. And then to have other options for trip readings, battery life, VIN verification and more along with a great price made this an easy purchase. Then the fact I was able to easily get it hooked up and diagnosed the issue with our car by myself reinforced it was a great buy.
With the info, I was able to order the parts and then we fixed the car. Cleared off the codes and the warning lights in the car with it. Warning lights have remained off and all is well.

Integrated system - less guessing

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2024

For the average quasi-car guy this is the sweet spot. I tried a highly rated $14 dongle and downloaded and tried 3 different Android apps. I discovered that one app was incompatible (description never implied this), two connected right away. But I had questions about intended functionality that I sent in to both the dongle and app people. After repeated queries and 4 days nary a peep. They seemed to work ok but always a question of what they were and were not intended to do. And one app was particularly unpredictable when trying to configure new gauges.

Then I came across this integrated system. What attracted me to it was the interface that can remain semi-permanantly attached to the dash with the compatibilty with the app designed for this device. No guessing about compatibility. They are designed to work together. And I don't have to use my phone all the time - only when I want a larger screen or to take a deeper dive into the readings.

The system turns off after a few minutes of ignition off and turns on when the button on the left side is pushed. It is always available and informative.

Sure, it is not the full-featured $$$ system used in shops- probably 10% of the cost of what's in the shop. But I'm guessing it does 90% of what most of us need to know.

So for casual users who have an older vehicle (mine is a 2017 Mazda) who don't want surprises or much guessing about the performance of their vehicle, I consider this the sweet spot among similar devices.

The device is smaller overall than the last two OBD2 scanners I had, and the smaller print on the screen is harder to read from a distance. Setting up the Ancel app on my phone and getting the scanner connected was super easy.

Does Ok, but....

It gave me most of what I needed. Reads trouble codes and read out my speed in real time (damaged gauge cluster). It doesn't give you all the sensor telemetry though. I can't get my fuel level, or oil pressure. Those would have been very helpful until I get my gauge cluster repaired.

Very good basic OBD2 scanner. After a while, if you use this frequently, you might get tired of having to have your phone and app to connect by Bluetooth and to get the most out of this product. If you’re a DIYer who is going to use it once in a while it’ll be fine
