ANCELVD500 OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Tool for Volkswagen VW Audi Skoda Seat Diagnosis Check Engine Light EPB ABS SRS Code Reader Oil Throttle Position Adaption Brake Pad Reset

Replacing the head unit in my 2017 VW Passat ended up triggering an Airbag Error light — all because I forgot to reconnect a wire under the dash trim. I had another OBDII scanner, but it couldn't clear airbag codes. Beyond frustrating. I drove around for over a month with that light on, tried every "battery trick" I could find, and nothing worked.I even called the dealer — they quoted me $85 to $250 just to read and clear the code. Absolutely not.Then I found this tool for $55. Plugged it in, and within seconds I could view and erase the code myself.Problem solved. THANK YOU!If you drive a VW, especially, do yourself a favor and grab this.Have a great day, folks!

The Ancel VD500 OBD2 Scanner is a fantastic tool! It’s easy to use, provides accurate readings, and is very affordable. I really liked how it quickly connected to my car and provided detailed diagnostics. The only reason I returned it was because I was hoping for a scanner with a larger screen for better visibility. If you're okay with a smaller screen, this is a great choice. Highly recommend for those looking for a reliable and budget-friendly OBD2 scanner!

This works great for my Tiguan. For some reason in the winter my airbag light occasionally comes on, dealer checked it out and no issues noted and reset the light- free under warranty. Now warranty is gone and it’s $150, this device definitely has come in handy. Works on our Audi too

I suppose since the VD700 came out these became more reasonably priced. The Features in this VD500 are enough for me. And, the interface is what I am used to - I have a very basic Scanner, Code-reader. It really works with anything and did all I needed except for this one had the Electronic Parking Break/Brake Pad Change - winds the Caliper in/out.I don't mind using a 12volt battery to do it manually at the wheel if had to, but again, at this price point this added the speed I wanted for this current project - every model has it's needs and some say they do but do not - it's so weird the weirdness around "Error Codes" and what *has to be done, but may not.Anyway, this unit - all I looked at was the Parking Brake/Brake Pad Change feature because when I went to "test" it, was into the project and as I clicked into the menu, it was so easy... "hit enter... then hit enter... then hit enter... - do the job, come back and hit enter; too easy! Nice surprise for a change.When it asked for models - didn't recognise the first two so hit the third, "other" and it worked flawlessly.Also, the unit was not "glitchy" with if the ignition is on/not on - other unit for some reason want the ignition on, do a "setup" etc. - this unit didn't care - it just powered on, went to the menu. As far as set up - it's sold here USA, so is English and etc. If need other, then change it, e.g. Metric.It's real clear, go here, do this, THEN turn ignition on - then turn it off.I have no looked at anything if needs the Engine Running - as I said above. It says it has not "freeze frame" feature, but it "Records". So, the minimal instructions may be misinforming about the "Feedback" feature (don't get it if not part of diagnosis - unless is product feedback?).So, bottom-line for me and all the other too complex, Icon Driven only units at 2x's the price - and confusing - this unit is how I like these to be. I have not seen the VD700 and may never at that price to see if the Icon Driven Screens are "better" or again just - confusing w/the price tag for "that"?I feel I could loan without a "training" session on what to click through and what to do - again, this one, just read the text prompts and if going to work, it will. How it was with other units, they just didn't work with "any" car, or my projects. It seems with VW, it has to be truly "generic" and IEEE compliant to the Standards for Codes, or has to be specifically for the fussy VW auto group.I hope that helps someone.

I bought this scanner to reset the "Service Due" code on my 2014 Audi A8. It allowed me to clear the code and reset the service interval. The OBDII scanner at the auto parts store couldn't do it.

This is the one to get for your VW. It will even reset the airbag warning light on your VW eGolf.Oddly, this is the model to get. It will reset airbag errors, while the newer, more expensive model does not.Even if you do not currently need to reset the airbag warning, chances are you will need to in the future. Any number of ridiculous things can cause this error to occur. A reset by your friendly VW dealer will set you back at least $125 and up, plus the hassle you are probably going to experience at a dealership.

This is a great OBD2 scanner and definitely worth having. I used it on my 2017 Volkswagen Jetta SE and was able to reset the airbag light with no issues. It connected quickly, was easy to navigate, and gave accurate diagnostic codes. The whole process was smooth, and it saved me a trip to the dealer. Highly recommended for DIY car maintenance!

used for chevy found codes other reader did not.
