The ANCEL VD500 is a handheld OBD2 scanner for Volkswagen Audi Group (VAG) vehicles: Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda and Seat. It also works as a standard OBD2 code reader on other compliant 12V cars and light trucks (non-electric) from 1996 and newer with a 16-pin OBD2 port.
On VAG vehicles, it reads and erases codes in the Engine, ABS, Transmission, SAS (not all cars), ESP, TPMS and SRS (airbag) systems. It can also reset the oil service, brake pad and throttle position adaption. On standard OBD2 vehicles, it reads and erases codes, shows code definitions, turns off the check engine light (MIL) and retrieves VIN information.
In the engine system, it retrieves current, permanent and pending codes. It also shows OBD II extended data, such as fuel and emissions data, and real-time manufacturer-specific parameters. It plugs into the vehicle's 16-pin port, which is normally under the steering wheel. The software has free lifetime updates.
