Looks like a handy tool, I like the light in the 16 pin connector, that could come in useful. Cheers Matt

[@davesterl]

Aye Mattt, not bad for the price

[@zzhughesd]

Thirty two and a half squid Dave. Before our Fire we had a solid one shared. About 1800. As car traders only need once a week above a MIL or standard p codes. Need one to do abs actuators airbags etc etc. Want spend couple of hundred to three hundred. Don’t know where to start. Need move into new premises guaranteed before but no fun life no scanner

[@Automotive_Solutions]

It's just a eobd tool but those extra little features make it more useful. All in its not bad for the price.

Informative and well presented. Basic code reader for casual workshop or diy use. Has a good screen .Great price.

[@iansworkshop]

A good tool for the part timers ,, and reasonably priced , cheers Dave 👍

[@firehanshg]

Have well Shane you keeping it. I am on the look out for a fair good diagnostic tool that do a bit more like Abs. And a few more. Because i have those pesky electronic parking button. Cheers

[@TheGibby3340]

Great wee tool for the glovebox 👍

[@markdillon5494]

AL600 and above does engine codes, ABS and SRS. The AL500 only does engine codes.

[@davesterl]

Correct! However, this video is about the AL500

[@the_retired_mechanic]

I think the likes of snapon must be really starting to loose sales as all these machines become cheaper. Hopefully they too will reduce their prices as they loose control of the market.

[@trevormansfield6740]

Looks nice for price. I’ve ordered from your shop 👍

[@meepmeepington3721]

I have one and cannot get it to connect to any module except the engine on a WV. I found it useless. My 20 year old laptop and ELM connector does as much

[@davesterl]

Yes, this level of scan tool is generic obd only as stated in the video

[@roltyd22]

Does this scanner show realtime cylinder misfires? Po300

[@simonrawle7885]

that looks like a good tool to keep in the car .

[@romanjaspe4172]

thanks so much for the video

[@colinbarrett5965]

Unfortunatly this will not work on a BMW E39 Series 5 2002 will not comunicate with the car, unfortunatly l had purchased one before l found out.

[@mikeberry304]

Cant have enough tools Dave , as you say , sometimes just easier to plug in el cheapo for quick engine stuff , Sandy will want one next especially if he gets it for free 😉🤣😎💸💸💸

[@davesterl]

[@Patmac74]

[@davesterl]

No

[@Idefix311]

Hallo, muss es nicht vorher an den PC angeschlossen werden und wenn ja wie funktioniert das?

[@guilleport]

Auf Englisch, bitte. Danke.

[@mizok2001]
