Hi love your video relly does help me with my level 3 qualification. Could u maybe look at doing more diagnostic videos cheers and keep up the good work
I've had one of this scanner type, Launch CRP909, is the same with this one. From my experience I can say that is a basic obd scanner, no coding, no active test components, only few special functions but is ok for entry level.
I can see some traces of ‘Launch’ in this software too. I think they may be affiliated. For sure, the coding and component activation are great features but seem to come at an extra price! What are you using now?
@@MechanicMindset Now I have the Launch x431 pro mini S since November last year and I can say that this tool is to another level compared to crp909 model.
@@MechanicMindset I have 2 years of free updates and after that I think it cost 499 USD per year, as I remember. The advantage is that you can still use your device without paying another annual update after these 2 years.
@@MsCarService1986 ah ok, quite expensive but if you use it a lot then it’s worth it! Same for this one, you can use it without updates or subscription 👍
For cheap, check out the ThinkTool Mini review video. I was impressed with the premium software for BMW. Although, if paying your bills relies on this feature, just go for AOS from BMW 👍

Hey Darren, Looks pretty good for the price. Generic scan tools are getting cheaper and cheaper. The appearance seems a little similar to some of the Snap-On tools & others. Must admit, I am a little spoiled using a GScan 3, but it's great that some cheaper versions are providing a good range of features. Thanks for the review & look forward to you putting it though it's paces in the future! 😉
Cheers! It’s a good basic scanner, but if we want to get in to more advanced features, we will have to reach a little further in to the pocket like you 😁👍
Darren thanks for sharing. Are there bi-directional controls? Guess I should go and read up on it. But all your info and videos have been spot on. Is it still usable if the subscription expires or do you have to up date the unit? Just a couple of questions I’m sure I’ll have a few more. Stay well and safe Artie 😊
Hi, I think the bi directional capability is limited and doesn’t have the full features like power window actuation. It did say there were some component activations for OBD feature but not tried yet. When the subscription expires, this unit will continue to operate on the software it has installed; not restricted. Cheers Artie!
Thanks for the video. This product, you can see it all around the internet world, but so far, at least for me, I saw it for the first time someone using and how looks like the menu and etc. I have seen the Autel 'live ' on my hand, but never this one , always wanted to know more about it.

For ABS and RCM faults I use a Foxwell 650 elite. It’s okay, a bit of a hit or a miss what vehicles it works with. That said you get regular notifications from Foxwell on updates and it’s pretty easy to do.

I would have to check - it may be possible too read the mileage from other control units too. I know a lot of the better mileage correction tools change it in all modules. Otherwise a conflict will be recorded and a fault code stored.

It looks like this tool has OBD2 side diagnostics of course, but it's not clear how much Enhanced Manufacturer Data is also available, and whether it can print wirelessly, and whether the tool itself is wired or wireless ... In my case, many of these tools don't cover Australian built Fords and GM (Holdens) ... haven't been able to determine yet whether this tool will do that.

It’s worth noting to your viewers that this “New” tool uses a Six YEAR OLD version of Android (v7.1), and is not supported by Android security updates. It seems to be common place with a lot of the DIY level devices. I would question the longevity of the device as more money is spent on updates down the road.
Good to know thanks. The tech works is moving fast for the automotive OBD tool world at the minute. there seems to be a lots of brands with similar tools and growing capabilities coming in at lower prices. At the time of testing, I was impressed with this tools basic scan/data/service function features for the money 👍
Hi, so we have the reset functions, some of which are no directional (like brake pad reset and DPF regen). The website says it can activate components but I haven’t found where to do that yet. Need more time to play! 👍
@@MechanicMindset I have the autel mx808, I am curious if it does more than that. It can do all the oil resets and brake maintenance modes ect. but it does not do active tests like activating solenoids like purge valve, vent valve, egr ect.

Hi like your videos keep up the good work there, it's the same machine as the launch /cread Pro 909x I would like to see more video on this tool pls many thanks.
Nice review. Cheap tool and updates. I prefer wireless. I use Launch as my everyday tool. Love it 2 years free updates. Unfortunately the update period is just up, and to renew is nearly the price of a new unit. I would like to try autel but unfortunately they only seem to give one year of updates.
This may be a good scanner but it’s disingenuous for Ancel to claim bidirectional status when it clearly does not support that function. This was the only reason I considered purchasing this model.
Yes, it's not 'full' bi directional. It does have all the calibration features and there is a feature in the I/M OBD section for component activation but doesn't work on my car.
Although I really like most of the videos put out by this channel, I feel the tool reviews are really just infomercials. I'm guessing because they are sponsored. that's too bad.
Hi Mark, yes these are definitely honest reviews of the tools I have been sent. Not ashamed to say that they bring in a tiny bit of revenue for new filming and scope equipment for the channel. Plus they rank well in searches and bring in new viewers. I do turn a lot of offers to review products down as I’m conscious not to do too many and some of it is just not up to standard. Thanks for the feedback 👍
Hi, the good thing with this tool is that you dont have to pay and the tool still works. It’s not an expense you want if you dont use it that often, but if you do it’s nice to have the latest vehicles loaded. I dont think it’s that expensive either, most reputable tools have a charge and supports the development required to keep tools that last up to date 👍

Hi like your videos keep up the good work there, it's the same machine as the launch /cread Pro 909x I would like to see more video on this tool pls many thanks.
Nice review. Cheap tool and updates. I prefer wireless. I use Launch as my everyday tool. Love it 2 years free updates. Unfortunately the update period is just up, and to renew is nearly the price of a new unit. I would like to try autel but unfortunately they only seem to give one year of updates.
Cheers! This is the problem; there is too much choice and can be difficult to fine what works for you best 👍

This may be a good scanner but it’s disingenuous for Ancel to claim bidirectional status when it clearly does not support that function. This was the only reason I considered purchasing this model.
Yes, it's not 'full' bi directional. It does have all the calibration features and there is a feature in the I/M OBD section for component activation but doesn't work on my car.
Some scan tool is not working to the Philippines like asian cars made
Sorry I am not sure of all the models it supports. Maybe you can contact OBDZON.com directly and they can advise. They also have a TH-cam channel 👍
👍
Although I really like most of the videos put out by this channel, I feel the tool reviews are really just infomercials. I'm guessing because they are sponsored. that's too bad.
Hi Mark, yes these are definitely honest reviews of the tools I have been sent. Not ashamed to say that they bring in a tiny bit of revenue for new filming and scope equipment for the channel. Plus they rank well in searches and bring in new viewers. I do turn a lot of offers to review products down as I’m conscious not to do too many and some of it is just not up to standard. Thanks for the feedback 👍
Ancel is b.s with their yearly subscription. There are much better scan tool out there that you don't have to pay subscription fee.
Hi, the good thing with this tool is that you dont have to pay and the tool still works. It’s not an expense you want if you dont use it that often, but if you do it’s nice to have the latest vehicles loaded. I dont think it’s that expensive either, most reputable tools have a charge and supports the development required to keep tools that last up to date 👍
