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

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.

Great little piece of equipment for the shop. Was able to successfully read engine, SRS codes, and live data on my 2003 Honda Accord. It was very easy to use and way more functionality than your basic OBD2 scan tool.

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.

Great product. Great price.

The ANCEL 2000 OBDII SCANNER......Arrived overnight on time and undamaged....First thoughts after using scanner for the first time I have used many scanners expensive and very economical in the past the scanner seems to be very good for the price point and the functions that it performs. Update instructions sketchy but if you go to the ancel website look up the scanner and navigate to the correct support page you can download the RAR file needed.After downloading file into your computer simply unplug mini security digital card plug it into the adapter into your computer and the application almost does everything for you then after choosing all and updating your software simply reinsert card into the ancel scanner and it will update the scanner for you.

Description claims this unit works with all common U.S. automobile types yet Chevrolet is not an option. I didn't get to use this unit as we'd hoped because trying to do an out of box software update was a 3 hour nightmare. The Ancel website appears to be simple enough to navigate and hats off to those who were able to perform an update. Consider myself a tech person but the inconsistency in the instructions and how much they left out, I gave up. Not worth all that aggravation without person to person support. In trying to reach out to their support (email only) as you click to submit your email support ticket the site continuously returns the message "please later". The manual in the box is very different from the pdf manual on their website which has website links that don't work and both of those are different from what I found in YouTube videos. After 3 hours of trying to perform a simple software update I could only imagine what future support would be like. Out of the hundreds of items I've purchased on Amazon and been pleased with them all, this is one of two returns and I couldn't get this back in the box and back to Amazon quick enough.

Let me start of by saying that this product is very nice. It feels well made and has great features for the price. Registering the device is relatively simple, just follow all he steps in the guide and you will be fine.Now for the only complaint I have about this product is the quality of the display. As you can see in this picture the top right of the screen has light bleed (white semi circle) in it out of the box. Now it doesn't take away from the device in a major way but it is still inexcusable for a new out of the box product to already be showing signs of damage. If it wasn't for the bad display I would easily give this a 5/5 star review but for the time being it will remain a 3/5.Should this discourage you from buying it? I would say no, it is still an amazing product for the money but just be aware that it may come with some fault out of the box.

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.
