I have taken this with me to purchase the last two used vehicles I have purchased just to check. Worked great. I have lent it out to a couple friends to diagnose dash lights, they were pleased with it as well.

I purchased the Ancel FX2000 in 2019 and the scanner has done a phenomenal job on everything I have needed it for. I have scanned several of my own and my family and friends vehicles and it has saved us countless dollars being able to scan and figure out problems as they come. It also has the ability to scan and erase SRS codes, which came in handy when I had a seatbelt issue causing an airbag light. It is quick and easy, unlike some brands that lag or take awhile to load. I have been pleasantly surprised and pleased with the product since my purchase and would recommend to anyone looking for a do-it-all scanner.

Big Pluses:1. The scanner is great, I was able to get very detailed ABS system data and determine exactly what was broken in my ABS EBCM controller and not in my sensors. This was an intermittent fault that was causing my front brakes to drag. I could also see chassis codes and ECM codes that were very useful in troubleshooting. This scanner will not load or calibrate a new EBCM but it still enabled me to know exactly what part I needed and not get ripped off.2. It does come with a micro SD card already installed. which you need for updates.Small Cons:The website was easy to use and register so I could download firmware and libraries. You install an app on your laptop then download the libraries. Next you then plug in the USB and use the app to install files onto the sd card. Reinstall that into the scanner and then plug the scanner into the computer and run the updates through the app on the computer. Once it starts the progress bars will tell you when it is done, dont shut if off too soon, you can brick it. The pdf guide for updates did not match perfectly to how I was able to get it to work, maybe it was my laptop on Windows 11, I dunno, but it would not detect my scanner until the sd card with the updates was installed, then I could see it with the app.It is worth the small price IMO.

Good for diagnosing and clearing all codes for every major brand, both imports and domestics. Follow the directions to "upgrade" and/or download your applicable Makes program onto your scan tool carefully and exactly. There are key words and tricky phrases, 😆. Definitely eject the SD card from your scan tool and insert it into the SD card to USB adapter provided, otherwise the update has issues. Ask me how I know? Also yes this step was clearly detailed in the procedure, as long as you didn't skim read. Outside of that, the tool works as described.

this thing has been extremely reliable for our cars. and i was surprised by the price considering how much these can go for.

Description claims this unit works with all common U.S. automobile types yet Chevrolet is not an option. I didn't get to use this unit as we'd hoped because trying to do an out of box software update was a 3 hour nightmare. The Ancel website appears to be simple enough to navigate and hats off to those who were able to perform an update. Consider myself a tech person but the inconsistency in the instructions and how much they left out, I gave up. Not worth all that aggravation without person to person support. In trying to reach out to their support (email only) as you click to submit your email support ticket the site continuously returns the message "please later". The manual in the box is very different from the pdf manual on their website which has website links that don't work and both of those are different from what I found in YouTube videos. After 3 hours of trying to perform a simple software update I could only imagine what future support would be like. Out of the hundreds of items I've purchased on Amazon and been pleased with them all, this is one of two returns and I couldn't get this back in the box and back to Amazon quick enough.

So far I've found it IMPOSSIBLE to register this product. I get directed to multiple different versions of websites starting with the name of the product - Ancelweb.com, Anceltech.com, Ancelhelp.com - I created accounts on at least TWO of them (which don't seem to be linked, BTW), but still found no way to register my product. I downloaded the update tool, and only after going through a lot of frustration did I figure out how to enter the info it asks for. Very weird. Also, it wouldn't clear the "Maintenance Required" light on my 2005 Prius, which turned out to just be an oil change reminder. I had to google a method to clear it manually. So, I'll keep it, but I think I liked my BlueTooth OBD reader better. Easier to just update the App and much more detail.

Worth the buy!!
