This scan tool can also be used for multiple tasks relating to vehicle specific repairs such as: Battery registration, Service Reset (CBS Condition Based Service) and CBS corrections for accidental resets. The tool can also reset EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) systems and has many other useful functions. This scan tool should be part of your repair tool arsenal. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Was looking for something just like this was getting nowhere with my basic code reader. After watching this I used his link and purchased one. Was able to pin point the exact sensor. Clear out all the old codes still stored in the other modules. Ordered the parts. She is fixed. Thank you sir!
That is great Brent! Thanks is for sharing your experience. I use quite a few scan tools but so far this one does a lot for a good price! Glad it helped!
🚘 Great presentation. I have a 2005 BMW 745li and now used a code tool, but not fully functional as the one you presented. I will purchase this device for it worth the cost. Thanks for the great demonstration! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hi James, Thank you :) The E65 745li was the vehicle I started working on when I came out of BMW training. None of the other older techs wanted to work on them. They have there own quirks but a great vehicle over all!
exactly what i need for my e46 here in japan. excellent. thank you.
That's great! Thanks for watching from Japan and commenting!
Hello does it work good for Japanese BMW?
@@thepeterkins8210 There is no such thing as a japanese bmw. bmw is german.
Got this on ebay for $70. Thanks for the demo
Much cheaper on eBay than Amazon 👍🏼
@@STREETFIGHTER50because eBay somewtimes have fakes
Nice demo, easy to use scanner
Thanks bud :)
Thanks for sharing bro. It is good because that'll make it easy for me since where I live there is no mechanic that could fix or even help me taking care of my car. It is really bad that I cant have a mechanic to do my broken parts in my car. I can do some minor fixing or corrections on my car, engine or any simple thing. But in order to do some big fix, I am in deep s_i_... believe me. So, I am going to buy this tool for my convenience. Thanks for sharing. It is appreciated!!!!
Hi Pepe, Thanks for posting. I really feel that this is a great scan tool at an affordable price. I love that it can scan each module and not just engine codes.
Thank you 🙏
hi- gr8 vid----do you have any idea if it will definately scan a bmw e39 525 disel---2001--??? and mainly will it scan this cars rear air suspension as i have a dash warning light on ?. thanks david
Hi Roger,
I just changed the fuel pressure sensor on my 2012 BMW X5. I had to disconnect the battery in order to change the part. Once I was done I reconnected the battery and now my windows, blinkers, and side mirrors don’t work. Do I have to register the battery with the scanner in order for this to work again? Or is there another simple solution.
Thank you!
Ray
Hello,
I’m scanning my BMW X5 using the Datastream. I’m trying to look for the LP and HP specs. Can you direct me where I can find this. There is a lot of acronyms and I don’t know what I’m looking at. Thank you in advance.
Hello, will this work with DCT transmission? I have a BMW 135i with the N55 DCT. Car has issues with adaptations and they always need to be reset. I purchased Carly for BMW but indicated that transmission adaptations reset was not supported for my 2013 BMW E88 135i convertible with N55 DCT transmission. Please Help!
I have a Schwaben from ECStuning that does all those functions too. Another question are the BMW N20 engines from 2/2015 and above still having timing chain problems?
Hello, Good oil change history does help reduce the chance of timing chain problems but they do still have this issue. I have heard a class action law suit may be in the works but nothing concrete yet.
I wish i had waited for this video, I bought a foxwell 510 elite 2 months ago. I still can not register my 2008 bmw x3 3.0i battery
Can this do things like the Carly’s customization coding? For example turning off the DRL’s, making windows go up and down with the key fob, European flashers, changing the door unlock to all doors instead of drivers door first and then the other three..... and more
No, This just reads fault codes from all modules and has some basic testing functionality. I tired to use it on a G30 electronic parking brake and it errored out and would not retract the piston. Good for basic scanning.
Great video! Does it show the actual fault code so that I can google more information about a particular code?
It gives the BMW code and description. I do find it very helpful.
Can this scanner show you 02 sensors graph?
Nice Video and explanation>> Question. I have a 2013 bmw x5 35i 3.0 litre turbo. will this tool read "ALL" of the codes in my Vehicle, yes ALL of the codes in my vehicle?? ty SIR
It is a decent after market scan tool. It can and will scan all the modules in your BMW and report all the codes it detects. This does way more than just the engine computer.
@@AskTheCarExperts , thank you for your opinion and response!! ty
I got this recently and was worried when i didn't see the new battery registration function on it. But the reason I didn't see this function is because the E39 5 series doesn't require the registration of a new battery. So it's all cool. It presumably does have battery registration for the later models which require it
Are you happy the Ancel BM700? I have a 1998 BMW 540i. Looking for a good OBD2 scanner.
@@MRXCHRISS I've two old audis that are taking up time these days, so haven't had much cause to use the ancel. But any time I have used it in the e39 it has been fine, gives diagnostic read outs, and deals with live data too. I don't regret buying it, and will be using it into the future. What year is your 540i?
@@antiochiaadtaurum3786 1998
@@MRXCHRISS in that case you will need the circular obd adaptor to link the ancel to the circular obd2 connextion in the engine bay. They're only a few quid anyways.
@@MRXCHRISS I'd get get one if I were you, I got mine on aliexpress, took a while to arrive from China to Ireland, but it's an authentic one. I'd go for it mate
I wish I could. My mini cooper is in PR. I have 3 yellow warning lights related to ABS. I changed front Wright sensor but don't know how reset the lights
Hi Luis, What codes are you getting? Do you currently have the BM700? If the one sensor was the cause when you drive the vehicle and the system detects no fault the lights should turn off. If they are still on this means there is still an issue unfortunately. Let me know if I can help further.
I am busting my head trying to figure out y my e53 x5 is constantly drawing power when supposed to be sleeping. Pulling .650. Will this help me pinpoint?
Hi There, I've got the scanner. How does the smoothness value identify misfire issues?...thanks for your help.
Smooth running values looks for deviations between cylinders. If the number is a lot different it helps identify that that cylinder may have an underlying issue and then additional tests can be performed such as swapnosis of coil, plug, injector, And compression and cylinder leak down.
Can you make a video of Ancel BM700 used on automatic 2006 mini cooper s R53?
I wish I could Luis but I currently do not have access to one. If you live near CT you can swing by my house and we can make one :)
Can you align the cas and ews or reset to matching values with this I’ve already bought the scanner a lot of functions on this device worked at first couple of times now say does not support this function
Hi Zachary, Did you try to update the device? The one I had would not work with the electronic parking brake actuation until I updated it. Also, are you using a new CAS/EWS or engine computer or key when trying to align?
Can you please describe the actual functions of the two electronic parking choices on the menu? Workshop mode and startup mode. Basically I just need to know what to expect and how to use these function when changing the rear brake pads.
Hi David, I need to look into this function more. The last time I used this to activate the electrical parking it did not work. I did report it to Ancel but I am not sure if the issue was corrected.
@@AskTheCarExperts Thanks for the feedback. I just didn't want to get in the middle of this and not know how to put this into workshop mode or how to get it out of this mode when finished.
@@davidrose8823 One goof thing is that you can always manually retract the parking brake using a caliper tool. And then once the brake job is done you only need to hold down the parking brake button to reset them. In one of my rear brake videos I go over the manual procedure.
Which is better Ancel or foxwell? If you ever used the foxwell scan tool. I'm not sure which is better?
Hi Tucker Family, The foxwell is a good scanner as well. Do they make a BMW specific scanner? If you want a specialized scanner for BMW I would choose the Ancel. For a generic scanner I think they are both comparable.
I was told that with Ancel BM700 series, you cannot program/code a battery with different Amp? You need to install the battery with the same exact Cranking Amps?
I believe that is correct. This scan too will register a battery of the same capacity. To change the amo hour rating you BMW would need to be coded for the change in rating.
I have a replacement electric power steering unit for my E89, will this tool help remap the new unit to my car?
Hi Corey, Sorry I missed your post. No this tool cannot map a new power steering
so it clears airbag error codes, i took my front seats out of my bmw e90 2010 to replace speakers in the floor now i have airbag error code thank you
It can definitely clear airbag codes.
Thanks for upload, i have a 2012 bmw 520 DIESEL and the driveline warning comes on the car splutters and cuts out usually at low revs i have plugged in several scanners an autel 808ms and a snap on verus and both say no codes present do you think this scanner can retrieve a code thanks edd.
Hi Ed, This scan tool really does a great job on BMW's. If you are getting a drivetrain malfunction warning this scan tool should be able to pull the code. I wish I could say with 100% certainty but unfortunately I cannot be sure your vehicle for some reason is not storing the code in your DDE (digital diesel electronics module). I think for the cost it is a great scan tool if you have a BMW! The other option would be to have the dealer do a 1 hour diagnosis to check codes and run any applicable test plans. Then you could have the option to do the repair yourself or do more research on the information they can provide. Some independent shops also use the BMW program called ISTA. You could call some independent shops and see if they have this software. I would be happy to talk further as you work through the issue with your BMW. You can reach me directly via my website at www.askthecarexperts.com and use the contact me tab. Kind regards, Roger
@@AskTheCarExperts thanks much appreciated, I will buy one of these anyway,
@@edwardkennedy9919 I think you won't be disappointed. Let me know if it works or if I can help further with the malfunction.
@@AskTheCarExperts Thanks again Roger, will do.
But really it is an excellent tool to have
For the cost it really is a great tool for BMW and Mini :)Thanks for commenting Luis!
Would this work to register a new key fob?
Hi Dave, A new key comes programmed from BMW. If you have a used key or one from the internet this will not be able to make it work with your vehicle unfortunately
Looks like a good scanner...the trans is my main concern...I see you can do an adaptations reset, but do you know if you can see transmission oil temp?..I don't see that in the specs.
Hi Tyson, I will have to see if I can read them at work. The vehicle I have currently at home is a manual transmission.
@@AskTheCarExperts ok, I would appreciate that...cuz if it can, I'm sold.
@@AskTheCarExperts it would be cool if you can also check if the scanner can read the Pressure adaption (mbar ) and Quickcharge Times (ms) from an automatic transmission. ISTA does this, for example and it's useful feature, especially when buying a car to see in advance how much transmission left.. lmk plz.
Hi Tyson, I used it on a BMW E90 at work today and it read transmission temperature (oil temp gearbox) in Celcius but it does read the transmission oil temp. I used it under the transmission Data Stream option.
@@AskTheCarExperts That's great to hear...an e90 is what I was hoping for too...about to change to an aluminum pan on one, and what to give this as a gift to a new diyer...I'll make sure I use your link when I order it...I really appreciate the feedback bcuz ancel website was no help(nothing was updated)...thanks
Hi,
Can your device be used to measure the temperature of the transmission fluid?
Hello, I will have to double check. What model BMW do you have?
F10 520d / n47 ☺️
Nice, I will have to check when at work but I will be out until Monday. I will let you know.
Thank you so much 🙏
Sorry for the delay. This will not check transmission temperature. It will clear adaptation values and you can see clutch pack values but not temperature.
I didn't see the new battery registration function on it?
Hello, Yes this can register a new battery. Here is my video short on how to do this with this tool.
th-cam.com/users/shorts3PmBw4jyuV8
Can I detect the PDC sensors with this device ? Thanks
Hello Hans, This should read faults out if the control unit but it would not show you activation and does not have an activate PDC function.
@@AskTheCarExperts ok thanks
Will this do a transport mode reset on Z4?
Hi Don, Unfortunately no this would not have a built in test plan to turn off transport mode. It is common for BMWs to go back into transport when there is battery issues.
What then happens when you do a battery registry and look at the heating/A/C system code faults? Would that not reset things then? Just wondering. Thanks for your reply earlier. =D=
@@donwheeler1683 Hi Don, The scan tool can read BMW codes very efficiently and see all the different systems but transport mode can set with voltage problems. Usually you need BMW ISTA to run the transport mode delete. But I would only do that if the the fault returns after a fault clear. This is a great tool in my opinion. Take care bud 😀
When I connect mine it is “please perform related operations computer” , what’s that mean?
That is odd. I have not had that issue.
Does the BM700 tell you specifically which speed sensor is bad on E46’s? I have a 2004 ZHP with SES, traction, red brake, and ABS lights on. My old Innova scanner reads a generic “P0500 Speed Sensor A” code. There’s a speed sensor at all 4 wheels correct?
Hello, I have not tried it for this so I am not sure but it does read more like a bmw scan tool so it may give more than a generic P code.
Does it shows cylinder values live?
I will have to check that Alexandru. My scan tool is at work at the moment and I will be away for training for a few days. Once I am back I will look into that for you.
@@AskTheCarExperts Any news?
Will it scan a G01? 2018 x3 BMW
Definitely
Have a simple question re. the Ancel BM700 scanner. How do I ask questions
Hi Randy, Ask away and I will try to help.
Hi Randy, Feel free to post a question here and I will try to help.
@@AskTheCarExperts Just purchased an Ancel BM700 scanner to "REGISTER" a new battery (specs. similar, but not identical) in my 2013 BMW 535i, f10. Know that the scanner will "REGISTER" the new battery, and the instructions are pretty simple and straightforward. My question relates to "CODING" for the battery. Does this scanner "CODE" simultaneously, whenever it's performing the "REGISTRATION" function? If not, where can I find instructions on performing the "CODING" process independently (the owner's manual does not appear to address the issue of "CODING")? Is the Ancel BM700 even capable of "CODING"? Thanks.
@@randydickinson5337 Glad to help Randy. The ancel scan tool is a great tool but it does not do coding. You only need to code the vehicle if your changing battery types such as a normal lead acid battery to an AGM. Coding is done by the dealer or a repair shop with programming ability. Did you change battery types?
@@AskTheCarExperts No. Old battery and new battery both AGM, and specs. actually pretty similar, but not identical - old battery, 12V, 105 Ah, 950 A, 190 RC, 950 CCA; new battery AC Delco Group 49, 12V, 95 Ah, 170 RC, 900 CCA, DIN H8. Been attempting for almost five days to get an answer to this very simple question. Haven't even been able to get the "Customer/Product Service" people at Ancel Technologies to response in an helpful manner. Was about to lose my mind. You are the only source I've attempted to contact that has been willing/able to give me a simple, straightforward, clear, and concise answer ..., and for that I want to offer my sincere thanks. Your assistance has allowed me to end almost five days of wondering in a virtual desert of non-communication, and allowed me to know exactly where I need to go from here! You've been great! Thanks, again!!!
When trying to resister new battery in 2011 328i all it says Not Supported .
I would first try to update the tool using the ancel website and retry.
@@AskTheCarExperts thx for advice I did the update and it registered the battery as it should thx again
@@titantim64 Thanks for letting me know. Glad it worked!
What's that Produktion jear of the car
Hello Francesco, Sorry I missed your question. The E46 I scanned was a 2000 model year.
Is this tool only for BMW?
This scan tool was made for BMW Mini and Mercedes. It can read vehicle control units beyond the normal OBD codes that are only engine specific. I find this is a very useful scan tool.
No graghping or freeze frame only downside
There is some graphing if you go under the control unit directly but it is limited. But it does do a great job scanning all modules.
Would this read timing failure ?
Hi JD, Typically a scan tool will not tell you that. But you will be able to read faults relating to tuning like camshaft or vanos faults. Then you would have to check timing on the vehicle.
@@AskTheCarExperts and this device reads those codes ?
@@SlumptDrew Definately. This is a really good BMW hand held scanner.
@@AskTheCarExperts thanks for the replies man appreciate it !
@@SlumptDrew Your very welcome! I always try to help out if I can 😀
Hi please could you tell me if it will reset my EWS as my e90 won't start.
Fuck it I'll treat myself
Not sure. You have a CAS on your vehicle. The most common failure is the starter. Also check your engine ground. If it is an early model it may also be an issue with the ELV electronic steering lock.
@@AskTheCarExperts appreciate the fast response. The starter motor has been replaced. I've fitted a ecu kit as the old kit wasn't for the same model. I think that's why the ews light is on as the ecm needs to be aligned. The battery was also replaced as it was totally dead and wasn't coded in.
This tool will be used on my m3e46 2003 will not work
Will it work sorry
@@barryeaton8868 Hello Barry, I use this on my E46 and often lend it out in my shop. It can read codes and do quite a few activations. I find it helpful.
