Used professionally for European (Mini, BMW, etc)
I use this as my personal scan tool working as a professional Mini-Cooper/BMW technician at a european specialty workshop. Not a bad scan tool for the price. Wireless Bluetooth is great. I'm able to read codes and watch live data while standing infront of the car. Range seems to be about 10 feet. Can view and graph live data (generic, mode 6), although you can only merge two PIDS at a time to view in the same graph.. Can reset CBS data (oil, brake fluid service, front/rear brake pad wear sensors, vehicle check, mandatory exhaust equipment inspection for both BMW and MINI, Reset oil and service reminders for Honda. Retract rear electric parking brakes for 3rd Gen Mini-Cooper for rear brake service. and can view manufacturer specific diagnostic request areas like boost pressure control, component (purge valve, fan, diverter valve,etc) activation. All of this on top of being able read and clear DTC codes and show OBDII monitor readiness status. Updates both to the Tablet and manufacturer makes seems to be fairly frequent and FREE. Livedata recording is incredibly useful So far it's been able to do about 80% of what our professional-grade Autologic "Bluebox" can do with European brands.Read full review...

Diagnose electrical problems fast.
Does it all. long leads and extra long extension. Quickly check power, ground, continuity, and jump either power or ground to electrical components. check relays, switches, solenoids, motors and actuators. I had a truck that was burning up the alternator lead at the fuse box. Previous shops replaced the alternator and the battery. I checked the voltage at the alternator and the battery and there was a 2 volt difference. I located the voltage drop which Identified the bad connection. I changed the terminal on the end of the lead and it was fixed. Had a car with a bad window switch. I was able to put the power window up and ordered a new window switch. I hardly need to get out my multimeter. I need a multimeter, a test light and a box of jumper wires to do what this can do with this tool. Read full review...

Ok except
Tools has been great for chasing down electrical problems,I most like the color screen makes it easy to read voltage turns red and ground turns green the only issue I have had is occasionally when powering up tool the screen doesn’t come on until I unhook power and hook back up.Read full review...

If you work on cars/equipment, ECT. This will be the best tool in your toolbox .
This tool is great, makes finding electrical problems easy. Great instructions . Pos/neg. Pigtails need to be longer for hard to reach batteries. Also the neg wire on unit could be longer too.

Nice item and case
Item was everything it said it does. Used the tool right out of case to troubleshoot my power steps and figured out my motor was bad. Still learning how to use this tool but as far as the test probe goes has been a good quality tool so far. Solid.. thank you. Read full review...

Ancel X6 Bidirectional,scanner
Device came packaged well. Nice blow molded case with foam packing. Instructions are a bit weak but you will be able to make it through them.
So at first boot of the tablet you will need to have a Google account to update Play services and the Google apps. Wifi on the tablet is very slow, so don't be impatient with it.
After updates are completed you will need to also update the X6 application to the newest version as well.
Once updated and registered you can begin your testing and work.
I updated all the manufacturers that I have and then thought I would have to manually pair the VCI to the tablet but it saw it and connected perfectly.
I then tested on my car that has been stalling for a few months. It showed me codes my standard reader couldn't. I found I had a few DTC faults in the BCM and ECM. I checked them and then recorded data captures.
It showed me that I had excessive miss fires in cyl 3 and 5 as well as a TPS fault.
I cleaned the throttle body with cleaner. And looked at the odd numbered cylinders 3 and 5. Both had the plug wires off. I put them back on and it was fixed. I reset the TPS and it relearned idle now my car is back with all 8 cylinders firing and the smooth idle it is supposed to have. A shop would have charged me the same cost as this, but I have the peace of mind knowing that the car is fine now amd running perfectly fine. Read full review...

Need to throw in key fob and security issues
Difficult at first but is not just plug and play you need to date and register first they don't tell you that special functions can only be accessed after updates

Wast of money- No warranty
Bought this for my husband back in February. Use it one time and then it doesn’t turn on at all. Try to charge it, reset and to turn it on and nothing it died. 3yr warranty I don’t think so. I have try to send message and nobody reply. More than $300 to garbage.Read full review...
