ANCELVD500 OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Tool for Volkswagen VW Audi Skoda Seat Diagnosis Check Engine Light EPB ABS SRS Code Reader Oil Throttle Position Adaption Brake Pad ResetGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled Standard

I own a 2018 Audi Q5 and recently had both repair and maintenance work completed. Afterward, the inspection due "wrench" light appeared on my dashboard. Since the maintenance was performed at a local non-Audi shop, they weren't able to reset the inspection timer. I used the Ancel VD500 OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Tool to reset the inspection reminder myself. The device made the process straightforward and even prompted me to open the hood during the reset, which was helpful. Overall, the Ancel VD500 worked perfectly for my needs and saved me a trip to the dealership.

Grandson has a 2013Volkswagon Jetta he put a stereo in without disconnecting the battery. Airbag light came on and they were off. No OBD code set. Local Dealer wanted an hour labor to reset at 160. dollars. This tool fixed it with no issues. It also has many tools to reset other problems and diagnose. Happy with purchase. It's a good tool to have if you own a VW. It will come in handy.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This was the cheapest scan tool with ebp support for VWs, I had to do the rear brake pads and my old scanner could not retract the electronic rear brake. This scanner made the job easy with it's ebp function and was the cheapest option I found.

I suppose since the VD700 came out these became more reasonably priced. The Features in this VD500 are enough for me. And, the interface is what I am used to - I have a very basic Scanner, Code-reader. It really works with anything and did all I needed except for this one had the Electronic Parking Break/Brake Pad Change - winds the Caliper in/out.I don't mind using a 12volt battery to do it manually at the wheel if had to, but again, at this price point this added the speed I wanted for this current project - every model has it's needs and some say they do but do not - it's so weird the weirdness around "Error Codes" and what *has to be done, but may not.Anyway, this unit - all I looked at was the Parking Brake/Brake Pad Change feature because when I went to "test" it, was into the project and as I clicked into the menu, it was so easy... "hit enter... then hit enter... then hit enter... - do the job, come back and hit enter; too easy! Nice surprise for a change.When it asked for models - didn't recognise the first two so hit the third, "other" and it worked flawlessly.Also, the unit was not "glitchy" with if the ignition is on/not on - other unit for some reason want the ignition on, do a "setup" etc. - this unit didn't care - it just powered on, went to the menu. As far as set up - it's sold here USA, so is English and etc. If need other, then change it, e.g. Metric.It's real clear, go here, do this, THEN turn ignition on - then turn it off.I have no looked at anything if needs the Engine Running - as I said above. It says it has not "freeze frame" feature, but it "Records". So, the minimal instructions may be misinforming about the "Feedback" feature (don't get it if not part of diagnosis - unless is product feedback?).So, bottom-line for me and all the other too complex, Icon Driven only units at 2x's the price - and confusing - this unit is how I like these to be. I have not seen the VD700 and may never at that price to see if the Icon Driven Screens are "better" or again just - confusing w/the price tag for "that"?I feel I could loan without a "training" session on what to click through and what to do - again, this one, just read the text prompts and if going to work, it will. How it was with other units, they just didn't work with "any" car, or my projects. It seems with VW, it has to be truly "generic" and IEEE compliant to the Standards for Codes, or has to be specifically for the fussy VW auto group.I hope that helps someone.

worked well for replacing the rear brakes on my 2019 VW Jetta to release the EBS

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Worked perfectly on my Volkswagen taos

Awesome product, worked great

Replacing the head unit in my 2017 VW Passat ended up triggering an Airbag Error light — all because I forgot to reconnect a wire under the dash trim. I had another OBDII scanner, but it couldn't clear airbag codes. Beyond frustrating. I drove around for over a month with that light on, tried every "battery trick" I could find, and nothing worked.I even called the dealer — they quoted me $85 to $250 just to read and clear the code. Absolutely not.Then I found this tool for $55. Plugged it in, and within seconds I could view and erase the code myself.Problem solved. THANK YOU!If you drive a VW, especially, do yourself a favor and grab this.Have a great day, folks!
