Review on 🚘 ANCEL AD410 Enhanced OBD II Vehicle Code Reader: Powerful OBD2 Scanner for Auto Check Engine Light, Emission Analysis, and More by Dan West

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Appropriate. on code readers & scan tools

Redesigned from 4 to 2 stars. Three days after using it twice, the device stopped working. Screen shows random tongue twisters, doesn't respond to any of the buttons. I asked ANCEL for help but the answer seems to be for someone else with a different question and the steps they recommended don't match what I see. Very frustrating. This device works perfectly and meets my needs. However, the manual is poorly written and lacks a lot. The product can benefit from better management. At least some step-by-step examples of typical usage would be very helpful. It took me some time to figure out how to get live data and control things like engine temp. Also, the Revain description doesn't take into account the fact that this device requires a Windows PC to download software updates or download test/monitoring data, which is an important consideration for me as I only have access to Mac and Unix computers and port Have not yet been able to test these functions.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
