TOPDON AD500 OBD2 Scanner Car Code Reader Scan Tool, Engine ABS SRS Transmission Diagnostics Tool, Oil/Throttle/SAS/TPMS/BMS/EPB Reset Car Scanner, Free Upgrade for DIY

Update I was able to get the scanner to scan properly but it’s is something you need to spend time with figuring out all the features. For the price say it’s the best scanner on the market. Only complaint is figuring out how to use it properly . It lets you access the web and stores all the vehicles information and trouble codes

I have used several obd dongle type scanners but webt down the research rabbit hole when an airbag light popped up on my wife's Nissan and the dealer quoted $400 just to diagnose it! This model seemed to be well regarded and purported to read abs and srs codes. Another scanner I tried also said it would read srs codes but after purchasing it I found that to only be true for certain vehicles and returned it. This unit did exactly t ly as promised. Setup was easy -after setting it up on wifi I updated the unit' downloaded the nissan specific package and off it went. The whole process was fast and smooth. With the inits wifi connectivity, I was able to determine online right from the unit that the airbag light was a simple consequence of a failing battery and saved the $400 diagnosis fee.The only issue I've run into is that at this price point the unit does not have much memory so I've needed to purge each manufacturer package in order to install a new one.Overall this works well and I would highly recommend it to other diy users

I got this device because I have a fleet I maintain and work on. I've tried this device on many cars and would say it favors more of the american cars in my experience. Some of the pros and cons I've noticed and listed below.Pros- Rugged Design - The device feels like it has a nice rugged case on it and could withstand a fall which can be very useful when working around cars.- Covered ports - Nice touch. I really like that it has covered ports. This can too be very useful keeping dust, dirt and fluids out.- USB C charging port - I love being able to charge via usb c. This port is most commonly used and have them throughout my home, one of my favorite features.Cons:- Updates - Not 1 click for me. I had a few updates fail the first time around. I had to do the updates about 3 times to get all of them to successfully install.- Coverage - The coverage could be better. This device only has a few maintenance functions. Topdon should have more coverage for the functione it does offer. It was unable to oil reset the 2 vehicles I tried it on. One american and one Asia brand.- Alerts user to disconnect vci - Useful feature for devices with BT vci. For this wired device, not necessary.Overall great product, for the price it is well worth the money and I would say falls into the category right above beginner. It's just one step above the $30 basic scanners out there. If your an advanced DIY or shop, skip on this one.

I got this code reader to give me a little bit better descriptions on some of the codes that I needed pulled on my American and Japanese made vehicle vehicles. The instructions aren’t very good, so I had to do some digging on how to use all the functionality of the unit. Overall, it does a pretty good job and giving me the information that I need.

This is a great basic little scanner. It allowed me to do a battery management reset on my Hybrid which effects how it charges the 12V battery. another brands top DIY model wouldn't even do this function. If you need basic codes, and your basic marinade resets like oil, and BMS then you can't go wrong with this unit.
