Ancel BM700 BMW Scan Tool Overview - BMW Scanner

[@reza_dc2]

I bought one , the battery registry is the best option. No need to head to a dealer or independent shop anymore. Thanks , great video!

[@czaplicka]

I was just looking at buying one to do the battery on mine , can you programme injectors on this aswell

[@Telstar_1]

On the battery management, does it allow to code as well as register a new battery, where the battery amperage has been upgraded (e.g. 70Ah to 80Ah) from previous? Thanks.

[@user-fs8vf4mu9y]

@@Telstar_1 no it doesn’t, just registering a new battery that is exactly the same capacity and voltage as the old one

Purchased this scan tool based on your content and again I must say as a new BMW/Z4 owner your content has been such a valuable asset to me. Thank you very much.

[@SenseiAizawa]

do you think this tool works on the new G24 chassis/ 2022-23 model years?

[@vintagetrk]

@@SenseiAizawa I'm sorry for the confusion. I'm new BMW Z4 owner but my Z4 isn't new LOL I have a 2010 E89 twin turbo Z4. Love your content thank you for all the help you provide for us fellow Z4 owners.

[@josemedeiros007]

Good video and scanner review it was very informative. I wish I would have bought your scanner, I bought a Creatdor C310+, a few years ago and it does not have a battery reset feature and some of the other functions that yours has, although my 2001 BMW 530i does not require it.

is there a DPF regeneration option??

[@biggur5]

Does it do a forced dpf regen?

[@newmagic30]

2000 BMW X5 E53 M62 - Did not work at all, very little functions and did not even support battery reg. Which is why i bought in the first place. Can you recommend any other Scanner that does work for my specific needs?

[@johnkim821]

Great review of the features available. Would the higher priced $600 diagnostic tools have the same capabilities as the BM700 does for BMW's specifically?

[@stuu001]

This is a great review but I have one question because I didn't see it on the scanner when you went into BMW specific. I have an 08 BMW X5 4.8i. I'm just wondering if this will do the electrical and coil pack diagnosis? Great review. Thank you very much

[@SimpleCarGuy]

It will read the module that is in control of ignition coils on your vehicle, yes. Thanks for watching!

[@keeganjacobs5913]

does this do a real good job on diagnosing other vehicles other than BMW ? American cars?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

No, this is meant for BMWs only. It has basic OBD2 functionality that can be used on other cars, but you can get a $30 that will do the same.

[@MrJasonmkennedy]

Does it show dpf levels, or when last regen was done?

[@tomloweshow]

Does this work on MINIs too as it's part of the BMW Group?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Yes, it does!

[@bikeninja956]

This is a total winner, for the price also. Great for weekend warriors like me just want to know what's going on, but will have their mechanic do any of the more serious work...

[@SimpleCarGuy]

That's what I was thinking when I got it. Sure, I have others that will do more.. but they also cost 5 times more. This will do pretty much everything you need it to do for a good price.

[@jequitygroup4108]

How would you say this compares to the foxwell nt510 elite? I have a 2011 528i

[@SimpleCarGuy]

I haven't used one myself, but it looks to be very similar in function and design.

[@afonsomiguelcorreia]

Why should I get this scanner instead of a BT OBD scanner and use a phone app? Does this has advantages?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

I like these types of scanners because they just work. With the phone one, it may or may not work if you have bad internet connection, sometimes it doesn't connect to bluetooth well etc etc. This just works and even if the company goes out of business, it will still work.

[@battlehrfred]

Excellent tutorial.i have purchased this one for my 2013 x5 35i and it takes awhile to figure it out,but otherwise it a great tool!!Just 3 questions>>>> i replaced my both fog light bulbs with LED,since then it continues to pop up in my idrive screen that "My left FOGLIGHT BULB IS MALFUNCTION",what i need to know is, can I use this tool to go into my vehicle computer settings and "turn off" the fog light bulbs "selfcheck" ???

The battery keeps going dead over the winter, so loose my A/C operation and some fan speeds. Will this tool reset that function? Thanks for your video on this tool. I'm miles away from a BMW service or independent service locations, so this could be helpful to me. Also, the battery will not hold a charge, so may be time for a new battery. Thanks for your response. =D=

Just a quick question...does this device Check on A/C for example, my A/C doesn't distribute the temperature proportionally. One vent is very cold and the other is warm or not cold. I did some research and it's the blend door sensor or switch. But I need to figure out which one is it and with this tool would find which one it is? Or any recommendations. I have a 2005 BMW 545i

No need to update it unless you have a brand new car that isn’t supported out of the box.

Will this scan a BMW G01 (2018 x3). I don’t see it in the list of BMW chassis?

Great Video, Which one do you recommend Autel MaxiAP AP200 or Ancel BM700. I have BMW 1 Series. Thanks.

[@SimpleCarGuy]

I like them both, but if I had to have just one for a BMW, it would be the Ancel. It does everything the MaxiAP does, but way faster.

[@ellygoodoverevil4064]

Will this scanner code x6 bmw injector?

[@Sir-Kay]

Does it only just read & delete the fault codes or it can also help programme the functions of interior exterior lights, windows, central locking system AC and the whole nine yards?

[@GreenStorm01]

Really good video! Does it work with the latest G30 series?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Yes, it does!

[@nowski186]

Just received my BM700 scanner for my 2009 e89 and decided to give it a try. I know your demo was on your 5 series and the ecu is a little more sophisticated than my e89 but have you tried the I/M function on your e89? The one thing I couldn't bring up is the I/M readiness menu. It's not shown on the screen like in your demo (3 ecu choices) and it doesn't show up on the display by simply pressing the I/M function button, Am I missing something? or are the I/M readiness faults (if any) stored in just the one ecu menu? In your battery registration BM700 video (while scanning your e89) I noticed at the 3:24 mark there is an option to clear all fault codes would that be a viable option? or should the faults be cleared one at a time?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Make sure your car is in accessory mode when checking I/M, other than that it should work. As far as clearing codes, I normally clear all codes when I start working on a car or project, then go on a test drive and see what comes back. Then I take it one at a time and erase one module at a time as I fix the issues. Thanks for watching!

[@nowski186]

@@SimpleCarGuy Thanks for the quick response!!! Quickly pressing the start / stop button 3 times in succession will get me to the accessory / diagnostic mode. Question? What is the process used to get out of the accessory / diagnostic mode? Push the start / stop button twice?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Accessory mode should just be one press on the start button if you have comfort access and putting the key in and pressing the button (dont press the brake). Then you can just press it again to exit or start car normally.

[@nowski186]

@@SimpleCarGuy OK I'll give that a try & Thanks Again for the quick response!!!

This is a BMW specific scanner. It can only do simple OBD2 scan for everything else which a $25 scanner can do.

[@zackvizeman5329]

Nice video; thank you! However, when you introduced AUTEL AP200, I ordered one! I haven't had to use it much so far (thank God for that!) As far as I gather though, AP200 offers all the things that this Ancel one does; isn't that correct?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

You’re correct, Autel AP200 can do most everything this one can do, but it is much slower to connect (fine if you need it once in a while, annoying if you use it daily). Both are great, slightly different uses. Thanks for watching!

[@arminfrentzzer249]

I think this scanner can do a lot...Is it also useable for other brands than BMW?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Yes, this scanner can scan the central locking system module and every other module on a BMW. It only functions as a regular OBD2 scanner for other cars and cannot scan individual modules like it can on a BMW. This scanner can scan pretty much any car's modules, but is more expensive: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYDVlZ1vobCbjNk

Hi, thanks for the video, I'm new to looking at these scanners & really want an affordable one for my BMW, but my wife also has an Audi. Do I need two scanners for both cars? I really like the new battery register function, would this work on the Audi as well or not?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Hi Steve! This is a BMW specific scanner. It is a bi-directional scanner (meaning it can write to modules, like registering a battery, programming injectors etc.). These functions will only be available for BMW (Mini and RR) cars. The regular OBD2 scanning will work on any car, including the Audi, but you will not see internal codes or be able to do any of the bi-directional functions. It will act as a standard OBD2 scanner (that can be found for $20) on all cars that aren't BMWs. So, your options are to get this one for BMWs and find an equivalent for the Audi OR get a multi car scanner that can do both (and many others), but those start at around $400. I'm in the process of reviewing one of these and will have a video out in a week or so: amzn.to/2VYJrI9
