ANCEL BM700 OBD II Code Reader for BMW Group Vehicles

I barely know how to get the bonnet up on a car, but this has made me feel quite practical. I have cleared many codes on my old E46, but also cleared codes on a Z4, an old Alpha, and I think made a huge difference to a Mini. Yes, you can buy a cable and try loading up software on an old laptop, but this is so easy, plug and play, and the device is well made, very sturdy.

Perfect for telling your BMW you’ve had a new battery fitted plus other things to check out the charging of your alternator.

If it’s your first scanner or you’re just a home mechanic who likes to repair your own vehicles I highly recommend this product. It feels substantial and well built with a rubber bump case. Works perfectly with an older BMW Z4 and Mini Cooper. Allowed me to register a new battery for the mini and get start/stop working. Also excellent for diagnosing beyond the normal P codes. Can read DME codes from the BMW computer. And also interact with various service functions, resetting adaptions, VANOS, TPMS etc.

Bought this because I had a srs warning light I had bought a blue tooth adapter and App not only did the app fail to reset the light but found no warnings at all. Plugged in the ancel and it found several fault codes including the srs and reset them all first time of asking . Not cheap but did a good job and I have it for the future . So I'm very happy.

Purchased to register a battery change for a 2016 BMW 1 Series. I recommend this for anyone wanting to work on their BMW/MINI or check fault codes etc. Very easy to use, I also found a few videos on YouTube from people giving demos. I needed to update the firmware on the device to get full functionality and be able to register a battery change on a 2016 F20 BMW, straight forward via the manufacturers website. I wonder if some of the reviews on here saying it didn’t work are because they didn’t update the firmware to a version that includes their car model? So if you’re in this position yourself I’d say give that a go and try again. (need windows computer, go to ancel website, register email, download the software update file, install that file on your computer, connect the scanner via USB cable supplied and one click and it updates very quickly, I’m on version 02.09). I also got a quick response from the seller (and others on amazon) to a question I asked.

Bought this to code one injector (3) on my BMW E88 as the images show this device not only does not have the "space" and "point" characters to enable the correct format of injector values (2 sets of 3 numbers) it also deleted the last digit from the injector 4 values!! Causing me more issues than I started with I have updated the device to no avail odd thing is YouTube video from a year ago shows missing characters on someone else's device funnily enough he also had issues coding injectors STAY AWAY FROM THIS DEVICE!

Have a BMW Z4 with the electric folding roof. The system has multiple microswitches and sensors which unfortunately often fail to operate. This tool identifies which switch or sensor is not operating whether it be just stuck or failed completely. I can now determine which switch or sensor needs to be adjusted or replaced which even though I am not a car mechanic I can do myself saving £ Hundreds on garage bills. The tools is simple to connect and to use. Yes I would recommend to others

clears errors but not all

My daughter's car is slightly older, so it has a few minor problems. Keeps throwing up an error 'check engine' we had no idea what it's doing this, taking it to my local garage they want $230 just to run a simple diagnostic test. Did some looking online and buying an OBD2 code reader, I have bought one in the past but nothing like this one from Ancel. This scanner is great for figuring what's wrong with the car the amount of detail. Was amazed at what this tool can do. Once I plugged the OBD2 scanner into the car in a matter of a few minutes the scanner was able to detect the problem. It was the fuel pump. We needed to reset the electrical parking brake (EPB) was able to do this as well, in a matter of a few clicks. So this scanner has now paid off for itself as saved me a ton of money by not having to bring the car into a shop. It's also a great tool to make sure the mechanic is being truthful, as it tells you in real-time what's wrong. Have a check engine light on? Don't worry this scanner can turn it off and it stays off! This scanner is the real deal I am so happy with it. All cars over the year 1996 will have an OBD it's usually underneath the steering wheel or near the ashtray. The number of codes and data analysis it pulls from the vehicle is insane! It does cost a little bit of money but in the long run, will save me the money takes up little to no room. I domt need a power source to use it (the car will need a battery) build quality A+ it has a rubber-like coating on it guessing for falls and wear and tear. I have now been using it with all my friend's cars and family, so definitely putting it to good use. I like how the user-friendly interface is not complicated.

Bremsenrückstellen hat funktioniert obwohl Beschreibung in Englisch

Je l'ai reçu 2 jours après l'avoir commandé. J'avais un défaut au niveau de l'appel SOS qui s'affichait en permanence sur mon X1 18i de 2017. Je l'ai branché puis configuré en français. Ensuite j'ai sélectionné le modèle de mon véhicule et lancé un diagnostic. Il a détecté 3 défauts dont le SOS. J'ai ensuite demandé à supprimer tous les défauts. J'ai refait un diagnostic et plus aucun défaut ! J'ai roulé un moment pour voir et pas de problème à signaler. Je trouve que ce produit est super pour le prix. Simple à utiliser Et il fait très bien son job.

perfetto per la mia E46. Comunque provato anche su una serie 1 del 2015. Facile da usare

Echt heel handig gebruik hem op de bmw e 92 met al zijn elende maar makkelijk te vinder met dit apparaat en injectoren inleren echt heel makelijk supper
