ANCEL BD310 Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner, 2-in-1 Car Diagnostic Scan Tool & Code Reader with App, Battery Test, Trip Analysis, Performance Test, for iPhone & Android, All 1996+ Vehicles

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.

This is hands down the best OBD2 scanner you can get for the price. Purchased this for persistent check engine light on my 2013 Jeep Wrangler JK. It works with all modern cars that have an ODB2 port. I used it to reset/clear engine codes when needed. It is extremely accurate and it tells you every fault code in plain English. I love to the fact that it can deep dive into your car and tell you RPMs and temperatures. It's Bluetooth functionality with an Android device make the interface even more aesthetically pleasing. If you are not a professional mechanic and a casual user, this is the best thing to purchase for detecting car problems.

It did the job perfectly. While I can't compare this to other devices , it did what I needed with no issues, straight forward app is easy to use.

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.

The Ancel BD310 OBD2 Scanner is a great tool for car owners and DIY mechanics. The scanner is easy to use. You can connect it to your phone using Bluetooth with the Ancel app, which makes it even more useful for advanced diagnostics. It works with any vehicle equipped with OBDII. You can read and clear error codes, it can show real-time data, and it can test your car’s battery with this scanner. If you’re looking for an easy-to-use and affordable car scanner, the Ancel BD310 is a great choice.

Works well. More of a plug in unit with keypad than phone app operated Bluetooth app.

I keep having a gas cap issue with my Subaru, if it’s not perfectly aligned I get the Check Engine light. I use this to check the error code and then clear it. It’s pretty easy to use and the App is clear and easy to navigate. I think it is a good value compared to similar scanners.

It doesn’t work right out of the box. I wanted a stand alone unit. When you plug it in the screen says download your application. It turns out there’s an easy fix by pressing little tiny obscure button, which you can’t see in the dark. But I needed an AI to figure this out. And this is the second unit I’ve owned since I lost the first one.. what happened to plug-in play? The user manual just says start your car and plug it in.. it turns out you don’t even need to start your car!

It’s simple but gives slots of information about the car. Only drive back the button side got broken after few uses, but still the rest works perfectly. Still I will give it 5 stars

Super Danke

l'ho testato e aggiornato. davvero utile. app completa

Urządzenie działa szybko, widać że jest to lepszy produkt od typowo chińskich produktów. Zakres funkcjonalności sprowadza sie głównie na Obejrzeniu błedów i podglądzie danych z czujników w samochodzie. Ogólnie warto posiadać takie urządzenie aby sprawdzić co może dolegać naszemu pojazdowi, choć trzeba pamiętać że nic więcej się takimi urządzeniami nie wykona - taka wstępna diagnostyka.

Had an engine warning light come on in our Peugeot Boxer 2013 2.2 TDI that wouldn't clear on it's own. Difficult to find definitive information on readers that work on specific models. This one definitely has worked on ours. Simple to use, clear and concise and when used with app, even searches google for suggested answers (as it states it does). Brilliant item and worked perfectly.
