Comparing Ancel Diagnostic Interface for Home Use: Pricing, Features, and Customs Issues

Question

Hello, please tell me at what price and what would be the best diagnostic interface for car testing, error clearing, etc. I already have one that connects to OBD II and you can check it via bluetooth on the phone, but it's not the same. It is a screen-to-hand interface with various options....

Gabrielr24 · Answer

Ordinary OBD, you won't do much, except reading errors. It is not profitable. What car do you need? Ideally, it should have 2 K, CAN, UDS lines. Look for the minimum Vscan VAG5053 scanner

astabian · Answer

I need as many cars as possible, occasionally someone comes to repair the car, so it would be useful for many brands. It is mainly about removing errors, removing inspections, checking what is wrong with the car. I have several of these interfaces, but I want to have all-in-one. Therefore, I am looking for something like on aliexpress.

Or maybe FOXWELL products, I am curious if someone has and how he evaluates them. At the moment I have Auto Com and it is enough. I think that if you allocate a larger amount, there are more options.

astabian · Answer

Something like that? Foxwell Possibly something like this?

migmig85 · Answer

I had NT624 and I will honestly say that as the first basic diagnosis, reading errors and previewing parameters is OK but 207 bucks + duty as I remember well 180 PLN and they wrote that there is PL language but it is not really there.
I am now trying to do this invention:

I want it to be pocket money and I think it will do the same but with the phone

Gabrielr24 · Answer

I use and have a FOXWELL NT500. Great for most cars. OBD II and of course VAG even the newest. If someone is close, I invite you to test. Universal for the workshop is at least PLN 3,000. The NT500 is doing extremely well. Below this, there is nothing to bother with to the workshop. Knowledge is also useful, channels, blocks, parameters.

astabian · Answer

Okay, we are waiting for more information, because I still don't know what to buy. Now I am very much wondering about this interface from my last Viaken link.

harlejowiec · Answer

As I wrote, Auto Com works well for me privately. I am asking about this Foxwell because I am not going to carry my laptop and diagnoscope, so I just plug in the plug and you can work. Can a lot of graphs be displayed with this Foxwell?

I will add that I am in contact with KTS 590, C-DIF 3 and I will say that these are combine harvesters, but they have problems with establishing communication in some cars. So it all depends on the system.

It all depends on what amount you want to spend on it.

astabian · Answer

The amount is up to PLN 200, I do not know whether to buy something on aliexpress (only the question whether the UC will not stop at the border) or a device from PL.

harlejowiec · Answer

For 200 PLN you won't buy anything better. Take with us domestically, although also produced in China. But it's your decision, it depends on how much you save, just make sure that the Polish language is loaded.

ArturAVS · Answer

Anything that is good for everything sucks. For this, dedicated devices have much more functionality. You won't buy anything sensible for this money. Mere reading and clearing errors is not a repair. You still need to be able to interpret error codes and find the cause.

Gabrielr24 · Answer

Reading itself is reading, you will not replace the blocks in the passat without a computer. Basic adaptations have to be. Throttle adaptation, pad replacement, key coding, oil change or maintenance restoration, electronic manual and many more. For PLN 200, I would not bother. Throw in a few pennies and buy the V-SCAN VAG5053 ITS.

astabian · Answer

I treat the interface as a hint - I can handle the rest with the repair. I think I will choose V-SCAN VAG5053 ITS at the beginning, as my colleague mentions, we'll see.

Gabrielr24 · Answer

Should be enough to get you started. Good luck.

kat13 · Answer

Hello, I attach to the topic which one to choose and which version because they are on one PCB and on two PCBs: Autocom CDP +, Delphi DS150E, Wurth Snooper + WoW, MVDIAG Professional MVD V5 TCS CDP +.
There is just so much that I do not know what to choose.
I am asking for some advice.

Greetings .

harlejowiec · Answer

I recommend AUTOCOM.

Lordspy7 · Answer

I stick to my father looking for something for PLN 800 for most brands - so that he will delete the errors and select what is to be repaired.

coperfild · Answer

There are no interfaces that will select what is to be repaired, if you have no experience, you will change what you want.

fuelinyourblood · Answer

And as for key coding, pin removal and immo in general?

krismon3 · Answer

Hello... I will also ask ... what do you think about such interface and software and such which one would be better.

NetComWolski · Answer

Note do not buy ANCEL devices, it is a waste of money, after 18 months the update support expires, if you write to the manufacturer, you will get oils and say you need to buy the next equipment, I currently use XTOOL and AUTEL, they have no problems in Autel, even if the card is lost, it's all to be recreated, as in the case of ANCEL trash, I do not recommend this company to anyone.
