VD700 OBD2 Diagnostic Code Reader Scan Tool Fit for Volkswagen Audi VW Skoda Seat, All Functions OBD11 Scanner for VAG Vehicles with Battery Registration EPB Reset (Upgraded VD500)

Picked this up for my VWs and didn't want something requiring a login, internet, subscription or any of that junk. Just a stand alone, ready to go tool. Its not going to replace something like VCDS, but its good for most things. I uses it multiple times to get DPF info, along with other non generic OBD2 info. No freeze frame data as far as I know, which is a bummer, but for most things thats fine. It also works as a generic OBD2 reader. I was able to read codes and live data from a Duramax, which surprised me it would even have the info to tell me what the codes mean and what the data is. Would buy again, and have recommended it to others. I think its probably worth it just as a stand alone reader, let alone having the VAG specific functions too.

Worked like a charm on my 2021 Atlas. I couldn’t get anyone to reset the check engine light on my Atlas even though I had already repaired the issue. It still would have cost over 200$. Literally took 5 minutes to figure out how to use the code scanner and reset it. Paid for itself already highly recommend

Meh, there are better units out there, but it has worked fine for reading and clearing codes. You can watch in real time the feedback from sensors, etc. Mainly thought for battery replacement on Audi Q7. Ended up not needing it to swap battery. Would need it to reset parking or rear brakes.

Great price, fast shipping. Works as advertised, read and erased codes for my 2017 audi

The fact of life is that as automobiles have become more and more complex, with electronic control of systems that used to be fully mechanical, the tools needed to perform routine maintenance tasks have also increased in complexity. This tool, the Ancel VD700, is a maintenance tool tailored to VAG vehicles that can read and reset the common interval timers and fault codes, as well as push the virtual buttons necessary to perform some routine maintenance tasks, like retracting the rear caliper pistons on models with electronic parking brakes. What it is not is a diagnostic tool that also performs other, more in-depth functions, like control unit coding, reveal granular details, or perform data logging, like the Ross-Tech VCDS system that is often cited by VW enthusiast owners. Nor is it a $200 tool cable that also requires connection to a Windows computer to function, as VCDS does. While VCDS is undoubtedly more capable, and its basic license supports the servicing of three vehicles, the scope of that system may extend beyond the needs, or desires, of many owners who simply wish to perform routine maintenance, and not deep diagnostics or customization of their vehicles. For those with more modest needs, the VD700 can do the job, and as a piece of autonomous hardware, also carries one significant advantage over the phone app-based, cloud-connected diagnostic tool options. While those types of tools are also very capable, and popular, their reliance on cloud connections, and subscription-based revenue models can present their own challenges and foibles. One faulty link in their chains can turn a routine task into a tech support ordeal, not aided by the fact their developers can be based overseas in different time zones, not conducive to getting timely, or easy support. When a job needs to be done, on time, with the vehicle off road, having the tool fail you is among the most frustrating circumstances one may experience. Ultimately, the "right tool for the right job" is the mantra that rules, so plan and act accordingly. Each has its use cases, and the owner will have to decide which suits their needs best. But even a simpler tool like the VD700 can easily justify its cost with one job, like the halving the cost of a routine brake job, compared to having it done by a shop.

I was able to use this to change my brakes on my 2019 VW Jetta. Its easy to use and i was able to turn off my EPB very easily.

I honestly thought I'd return this because I'm cheap. But, alas, it's the coolest toy I have and I refuse to return it. Because of this I was able to fix a camshaft code and gain faith in my transmission. The only thing I haven't figured out how to do is read misfires, which my OBDlink MX+ (that I borrow from some high society chump) does quite well. There is probably a method though once I figure it out. I feel like such a pro mechanic now with my Beetle. I plan to help a friend or two who are also cheap. I love my Ancel. I'd start with something a little more simple like a dongle and maybe an app, and then step up to this. Then after that, go for a Vag-Com and tell everyone you are a mechanic and then leave really fast after you read their codes for them.

This device was specific for testing my Volkswagen Passat. I was able to diagnose two problems with it reestablish the turbo in my car and diagnose a failed temperature sensor in the oil pan. Utilizing artificial intelligence and this tool I quickly diagnosed repaired and learned all at the same time

Super

This device has worked precisely as advertised. I have been able to do all the things the description said it would do, and even more. I’m connecting it to an Audi and a VW Tiguan and have no issues. Resetting oil change intervals, service intervals, releasing Electronic Parking Brake, running diagnostics on the vehicles, checking the battery, etc. I suggest downloading the PDF manual online as the instructions that come in the box are pretty weak. I would recommend this device to people who own any of the Volkswagen products.

Deze ANCEL BD500 OBD2 doet waar hij voor gemaakt is. Zeer handig in gebruik en geen gedoe met kabels of dergelijke. De adapter in de poort inpluggen installeer de app op u smartphone en maak verbinding met u Bluetooth op de smartphone en klaar scan nu wat je maar wil. Hij werkt zeer snel hij ondersteund VW/Audi/Skoda/Seat maar ook andere merken. Al geven ze wel mee dat het kan zijn dat bij andere merken kan zijn dat bepaalde functies niet aanwezig zijn.

J'ai pas mal tourné pour choisir un outil. A la base mon besoin était de reprogrammer les info pour un changement de batterie (dans le groupe VW, les info de batterie doivent être reprogrammées lors d'un chnagement pour que le BMS puisse prendre en compte ce changement dans sa stratégie de pilotage de la charge et du start and stop). L'outil est très pratique, marche bien et est "assez instinctif". Il faut de toute manière être assez au courant des architectures modernes véhicule pour savoir ce que l'on fait mais tout se passe bien. Je confirme par la même que cette outil permet la reprog des info batterie sur une seat leon 5F de 2019 ainsi que l'éffacement des codes d'erreur présent le cas échéant.

Ne fonctionne pas du tout... Lit jusqu'à l'étape 10/18 et reste là pendant une heure sans avancer... Chinoiserie à ne pas acheter. Perte d'argent
