Very informative content. Thinking of buying an entry ancel fx3000. Would you recommend this model with all the reset functions on a car? Is it necessary to have the reset functions? Thank you
Would love to know if this can program older NGC-era (~2000-2005) Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep SKIM keys? I'd also be curious to know about ABS and BCM features for the same vehicles?
hello. it is curious, the serial number of your ancel corresponds to a serial number of a launch crp 349. I bought one on AliExpress and its serial number also corresponded to a launch crp 349, the marks and resets were erased every time I sent an email with the diagnosis and I got a message that said abnormal serial number. and in the diagnostic history there were vehicles that had not been diagnosed. I had to return it because it was clearly a fake, a clone. Regards.
6:51 how do you make out the battery health out of this graph? How much of CCA battery have left out of posted on battery top markings? is cranking normal? How can you see if Charging system is normal (you gotta increase RPM to 2500 and unit must measure load/no load voltage)? This is just a graph and any cigarette lighter outlet cheap (like 10 bucks) voltmeter can show you current voltage onboard. 17:36 - Wait. What?! I have to pay more per year? I don't care how much. This is an extortion.
I’m in the market for a 3-400 dollarish scanner and am stuck between this and the NT726 by Foxwell. I’m not a big fan of the higher price tag and yearly subscription I that the FX9000 has but if it is significantly better than it would still be worth considering. I mostly do work on Hondas/Acuras, but a good all around Android OBD2 scanner that can go in-depth with vehicle-specific codes would be great. Being able to actuate certain individual components on a vehicle is a must for diagnostic work, and some light programming capabilities aren’t 100% necessary but it’s nice to have the versatility. Overall, I guess what I am asking is which scanner do you think is better overall and which scanner do you think is a better value? Any advise would be appreciated, and thanks in advance! 🙂
It's hard to say which one is better because it depends on what you actually need to do with it. If Active tests are a must, you should go for the NT726 since that functionality is not available on the FX9000. However, NT726 only has 8 special functions compared to 26 on the Ancel. Overall, both are great to use and have very similar functionality other than the difference mentioned here. Getting 26 reset functions is a huge deal in my opinion as you can do most of the common items on most cars. Hope that helps!
