ANCEL FX2000-US OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Tool, ABS SRS Transmission Airbag Car Scanner, Check Engine Car Code Reader, Automotive Diagnostic Tool Lifetime Free UpgradeGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled Standard

This little guy has a long list of capabilities and features. I've used it to track down my ABS problems on my vehicle and saved money finding my exact problem rather than just covering a broad spectrum of replacement parts to get my dash lights off. And I was even able to reset my abs lights with this tool instead of having to go to the MINI dealer so I'm very pleased with that.This is a very "middle of the road" tool it has a lot of good features, but it also lacks a lot of features you'd find in more expensive, and more comprehensive tools. For instance you can't really do many tests and you're limited to the code reading and in depth computer monitoring. But you can do more than just check and read simple engine codes. It'll do ABS, Transmission, engine, and some other premium features that a lot of cheap tools cannot. You can see live fees graphs of a plethora of systems. You can see each independent wheel speed to check your speed sensors. It'll even tell you when different switches are on like your brake switch to check if that's working if your brake lights are acting up. The system does run a little leggy sometimes, and I do plan to get a more in depth tool later down the road for testing and resetting more systems and such. But this tool will be used more often and will always have a place in my tool box. I love this little guy

I purchased the Ancel FX2000 in 2019 and the scanner has done a phenomenal job on everything I have needed it for. I have scanned several of my own and my family and friends vehicles and it has saved us countless dollars being able to scan and figure out problems as they come. It also has the ability to scan and erase SRS codes, which came in handy when I had a seatbelt issue causing an airbag light. It is quick and easy, unlike some brands that lag or take awhile to load. I have been pleasantly surprised and pleased with the product since my purchase and would recommend to anyone looking for a do-it-all scanner.

Big Pluses:1. The scanner is great, I was able to get very detailed ABS system data and determine exactly what was broken in my ABS EBCM controller and not in my sensors. This was an intermittent fault that was causing my front brakes to drag. I could also see chassis codes and ECM codes that were very useful in troubleshooting. This scanner will not load or calibrate a new EBCM but it still enabled me to know exactly what part I needed and not get ripped off.2. It does come with a micro SD card already installed. which you need for updates.Small Cons:The website was easy to use and register so I could download firmware and libraries. You install an app on your laptop then download the libraries. Next you then plug in the USB and use the app to install files onto the sd card. Reinstall that into the scanner and then plug the scanner into the computer and run the updates through the app on the computer. Once it starts the progress bars will tell you when it is done, dont shut if off too soon, you can brick it. The pdf guide for updates did not match perfectly to how I was able to get it to work, maybe it was my laptop on Windows 11, I dunno, but it would not detect my scanner until the sd card with the updates was installed, then I could see it with the app.It is worth the small price IMO.

Good for diagnosing and clearing all codes for every major brand, both imports and domestics. Follow the directions to "upgrade" and/or download your applicable Makes program onto your scan tool carefully and exactly. There are key words and tricky phrases, 😆. Definitely eject the SD card from your scan tool and insert it into the SD card to USB adapter provided, otherwise the update has issues. Ask me how I know? Also yes this step was clearly detailed in the procedure, as long as you didn't skim read. Outside of that, the tool works as described.

this thing has been extremely reliable for our cars. and i was surprised by the price considering how much these can go for.

I had high hopes for this unit, unfortunately those hopes were quickly diminished. After the FX2000 arrived, I browsed through the manufacturers and their vehicles and there were ALOT not even listed. I have been a mechanic for over 35 years, so I know most American and quite a few European cars. I purchased this for my car (2021 Corvette Stingray Z51 HTC) and to use in my friends repair shop. CORVETTES ARE NOT EVEN LISTED! After seeing the "LACK" of American vehicle choices, I figured the new 2022 update would cover that issue. It was quite large for a scanner update. After the update was completed, due to the update size, I was expecting all vehicle issues to be fixed. I was WRONG. There were a couple vehicles added in each section but it still was missing alot. Even more shocking alot of the most "Popular" cars on the American side are not listed at all, cars that you see on the road everyday, and still no Corvette under Chevrolet?? You can use the basic functions of the scanner with any car that has an OBD2 port, but for the "Advanced" Diagnostics, you need to select a vehicle manufacturer and model, this is where the problem is. If I wanted basic Diagnostics, I would have bought a basic plug in OBD2 Scanner that plugs in and goes to my phone over Bluetooth. My BlueDriver is leaps and bounds ahead of the FX2000. For the price of his you should be getting MUCH, MUCH MORE. Save your money and go with a different brand because you have 50/50 odds your car will even be listed on this scanner. If your looking for U.S. vehicles only, I suggest BlueDriver. The BlueDriver has everything and more than this unit and you can email your reports. With this unit,byou have to connect to a computer using a USB cable. I do not work for BlueDriver, it was my favorite scanner but I lost it somewhere and the FX2000 listing looked promising so I thought I would try a different brand. Big Mistake.I know this review is under the name "lisa" but I'm her husband and mistakenly purchased the FX2000 while logged into her account.Trust me when I say save your money or get more money for a better scanner. Myself, I'm going back to my trusted brand. BlueDriver, which by the way has wireless updating and more features than most high dollar scanners. Save your money,take your time and do research on the scanner you end up buying. A item listing isn't always what's stated "Don't Believe The Hype" research and offsite reviews are your best bet.Thanks for listening (reading).
