I've always had vehicles from the 80s and early 90s but I decided to get something newer. This is a lot easier than counting check engine light flashes, looking up what the code means in the manual, and then being more confused than when you started.
Yeah, very impressed with it. I later got an Autel MD806, which is about 3x the cost, to go deeper into the ECUs and systems. While the Autel could read more and see more stored codes, I was surprised that it _couldn't_ do the battery and alternator tests and didn't seem to have as good (and responsive) a graphing ability as the AD530. For the money, it really is a heck of an impressive scanner and well worth getting for anyone/everyone to be able to get an idea of what's going on with their vehicle.
Boy that sure beats lookin up codes in a book then wonderin what the hell that means like my old scanner. Maybe mine will break soon and i can git this 1
Do somebody know how to get the normal figures and threshold values of a certain car model ? I’m looking for these values of a KIA Sportage 2011 1.6 GDI
@@FarpointFarms It'll tell me about transmission problems too? I just bought a 2013 Acadia, and it's chug chug chugging when I slowly press on the accelerator...my mechanic told me it was probably plugs...Hopefully THIS will confirm what he said.
Did yours come with the charger cord that plugs into your computer?? I'm trying to use mine and it's dead. I was wondering do you have to charge it. Mine will not charge

Agreed!
Just purchased this yesterday. Thanks for your demo on how to use and what this scanner can do!
Glad it was helpful!
VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!!

I just bought the 2024 upgraded version. Hearing lots of good things about it.
You will have to let me know what you think of it.
Thank you for this excellent presentation.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the demo! I can now purchase knowing this does what I need it to do.
Very clean factory looking instal on the Cobra 18 STW as well ,,at least it looks like it from what little it showed . I’ve got 2 of those !!
Its a perfect fit for the T-100
Just ordered one thanks for the demo.
I have the ad410 older one
It’s saved me a lot of $$
That is good to know- It helps if you know what is wrong with it before the local mechanic can screw you
that looks much nicer/easier to use than the more expensive Harbor Freight unit i have.
I am amazed at how fast it is! I guess it's been so long since I upgraded I didn't realize how far these things has come.
Great vid, thx!
Glad you liked it.
Cool. I ordered that model and shipping now to me. Awesome pre learning 👍
Hope you enjoy it!
@@FarpointFarms yep. I read the 2004 mpv it has p0303 and p0174 . Played with the reader and just have to get us to the terms for things etc...
First setting to adjust , shut off the beep every time you hit a button.
Thank you… you sold me :)
Glad I could help!
Great. Would love to see you use the record function, too. 👍
I'll make a follow up video later this summer and show off some of the cooler stuff.
Liked, subbed. A very kindly review of a great product.
Thanks for the sub!
Indeed, check 9:54 it current draw was below 10V
Tank for demo :)
Boy that sure beats lookin up codes in a book then wonderin what the hell that means like my old scanner. Maybe mine will break soon and i can git this 1
I am seriously shocked at how nice this little tool is!
@@FarpointFarms If yer lookin to give it away............. lol
I might have learned something but the bloody BEEPER had me escaping.
@Farpoint Farms
Can you help me?
My Ancel AD530 stuck on; "ISO15765-4 CAN(29bit) Entering system, please wait..."
I think it might need a hard reset for that

I am not able to update the software on my AD530. Could you make a video of how to update software??
I simply plug the unit into the computer and the computer detects it as a hard drive. Then go to the ANCEL site and download the software for updates.
I'm disappointed I bought this model and can not download the updates.
i can't either
I have a harbor freight one.
doest it conatin the ecu coding ( customization for the hidden features ) ?
No, you'll need a pro level tool for that.
Great video, but that BEEP
What about ABS?
This unit doesn't do ABS Just Engine/Trans.

You have to plug it into the car for it to power on.
Doe it give car miles?
Hi Sir, Is this compatible to use with Ford Focus TDCi 2.0 Diesel?
Thank you in advance.
I think it will on the generic side, but we don't get diesels here in the USA so I can't say for sure.
@@FarpointFarms thank you Sir... :)
Will this really tell me if I pass smog
It should, it has a function called the readyness test, if all the lights are green. It should let you know if you can pass or not.
@@FarpointFarms thank you
