I have used the tool with our 2013 Passat for resetting DTCs, reset service light, battery adaptation, running the fuel pump after changing the fuel filter. I have checked the parking brake release, and at least heard it wind back so that should be OK. I will soon do a DSG service, and found that you can monitor the transmission oil temp on channel 19 of the transmission control unit. Very happy with the tool.
Hi, thanks for the great review. I've never owned an OBD reader before & find the many variations quite confusing. I'm looking for one that can read my BMW & also my wife's Audi. I was looking at the Ancel BM500 for my BMW & this one for the Audi. Do I really need both for the two cars, or can one unit work on both cars? I really want the function that registers new batteries for both cars as quite handy I think.
I bought the FST32 from the Scanz brand for VW group vehicles. Looks exactly the same in the menus and outside case but my device is orange coloured. Good little unit
Hi, when doing the EPB Reset command using this scan tool, after retracting the calipers, do you need to keep the key turned on to accessory mode while replacing brakes? Or can you turn the key off, then turn it back on again when you're ready to reset the EPB? Thx!
Hello, I need to view the transmission temperature (live data). I saw in the video that you attempted this and received an inaccurate reading. Have you been able to revisit this and can you confirm or deny the accuracy of this product's transmission temperature reading. I have an Audi A3 TSI 2008 and I need to perform a DSG service. Thank you very much!
Hear hear, Joshua M! ATF temperature for an upcoming fluid/filter change on my 2011 Jetta is half the reason I'm looking for a VAG tool. The issue received only cavalier dismissal in the video (7:25).
This depends on your actual needs. You can consider something like XTOOL, OBDeleven, Carista, VCDS... Personally I'm using OBDeleven for couple years now and I'm like 8/10 happy with it.
My needles got stuck on my car so I had to buy new ones and now it indicates 380.000kms and my car only have 143.000 ,I have it frow new . With the VD700 could I change the mileage? It is only on the diles. Please answer🙏
I had the same iasue with incorrect transmission fluid temp showing about 50c below what it should be. I updated the software on the VD700 to 1.5 and now it shows correct temp.
I have the VD700 and cannot seem to view a dtc that occured during driving (2006 Jetta TDI (BRM)) the glow plug lamp came on briefly as the engine stumbled, it was very cold -44C in northern Canada, the glow plug lamp did not stay on though, when i checked for codes there were none listed, should not there be history DTC stored for the incident ? If so will the VD700 only read current DTC ???
Excellent, thorough review. A few questions though. Have you compared VS Autel MD802? Also as asked below, if plugged into another VAG Vehicle (Audi, Skoda, Seat) does it display 'For Audi' etc..? Thank you.
I don't have the Autel MD802 but I have Autel MaxiCheck (my quick review: ruclips.net/video/Fdv4tMSikdA/видео.html ). What I understand is that MaxiCheck is an extended version of the MD802. Autel devices have wider range of supported cars but narrower functions. For example only DPF procedures but in all vehicles. Ancel VD700 is targeted only at VAG cars but can do little bit more with them. I don't think that there's a separate 'Audi' mode etc... Most likely it will be VW mode for all VWAG cars.
I´d like the air recirculation I set to be remembered and not off every time. I learned it can be done accesing: 1. Module “08 - AUTO HVAC” 2. Long Coding 3. Byte 4 4. Bit 4-‐5 - Set: “10 Recirculation Air Settings (after Ignition Cycle) stored” 5. Default: 20 Recirculation Air Settings (after Ignition Cycle) Timer Based” Can I do this procedure with this device? If not do you know of any devide that allows you to get it done?
This device does not give you free access to coding and adaptation channels. Only to selected ones that are maintenance related. But check my review of OBDeleven ruclips.net/video/stJUCg9cLbc/видео.html with PRO license it can do what you want and more.
Hi mr-fix, Love your reviews. Most consistent on You Tube in my opinion. I need your direct expert opinion if possible on helping me to choose between 2 odb2. I'm looking at this VD700 or Xtool A30M for my Seat Exeo (audi A4 (B7))? If the xtool has more power then I'll go for this. Thank you for you help.
I bought one for this purpose and used for the first time today. It's under a folder for diesel. It runs the fuel pump for 3 x 60 second cycles passing 5 litres of fuel. You can hear the pump running and the fuel running through the fuel filter. Hope this helps.
@@SM-iq1fv Thanks for that info 👍 Do you think it would tell me what’s wrong with my ‘08 A6. It’s either an injector or EGR fault (I think), but now the glow plug is flashing! Difficult to start.. misfires then white smoke. Afterwards it idled ok but now it’s in limp mode.. 😩😩
Hi, have you had checked "Component Protection"? It just popped up in my Skoda. Now the dashbord is blinking and an airbag-failure shows up. is the VD700 able to deactivate the issue?
Thanks for the video. I searched on eBay and Amazon it comes with different prices from £50 to £150, all the same description. How the price are so different?
Mirror link, CarPlay, AndroidAuto, voice control, performance monitor, drive modes - these are SWaP features (SoftWare as a Product) and require FeC (Feature enabling Code) to be bought from VW. Getting them working is not as simple as just changing coding with diagnostic tool.
Hi mate great information The one other question can This unit change the start stop feature so that it is normally off ie car does not stop at the traffic light unless you tell it too
Thats to do with coding This device doest support that kind of function! You need vag com. Vcds will allow you to do loats of different things with the car.

I just changed my fuel filter in my Jetta TDI I did not fill the canister i went to to VW / basic settings/ Diesel options then you should see 3 options the last one says run fuel pump you go through the steps and it runs the pumps . I'm not sure if it cycles them 3 times I just waited about a minute for each cycle . I hope this primes the system . It doesn't tell you any detailed info so I would say I believe it does.
I brought this product but it doesnt display real time graphics data n I ve been looking for the short n long term fuel trim STFT and LTFT where I can find them if anyone can help me plzzzzz

thanks It lacks vehicle info and USB printable ECU errors to be a great device, I didn't like having a camera to photograph the errors, having USB I thought it was mandatory to have an error report printable from the PC, I was wrong, it is a good device but it lacks that function, cheaper devices have that function, there is even a space on the screen to enable that option, I don't think they will implement it, if they didn't do it in four years I don't think we will see that function in this vd700 gracias le falta info vehículo y errores ecu imprimibles por usb para ser un gran dispositivo, llevar una cámara para fotografiar los errores no me gusto, al tener usb di por obligatorio que tenia informe de errores imprimibles desde el pc, me equivoque, es buen dispositivo pero le falta esa función , dispositivos mas económicos traen esa función ,incluso esta en la pantalla el espacio para habilitar esa opción, no creo que la implementen , si en cuatro años no lo hicieron no creo que veamos esa función en este vd700
Went to buy this off of Amazon. Looked a little closer and the one they're selling is a chinese knockoff masquerading as the real company. How can I be sure to buy the real thing?

Your thoughts on vd500 vs vd700 considering the vd700 is twice the price.

I believe that the procedure allows you to turn the ignition off while performing the replacement. That's how it should be for Golf MK7.
Hi, thanks for this video. Let me just ask you one thing. Am I able to adjust the fake sound of VW with this device? I drive Passat. Thanks
Will this scan tool also perform BMS resets/battery registration on BMW & Mini vehicles? Or is that feature just for VW's and Audi
This one was designed for Audi/VW. But check out this one: ruclips.net/video/QCX0QwafR0M/видео.html

Does it have the functionality to start the fuel pump when change fuel filter (diesel)?
It seems a great product isnt'it? Thanks
Other than these 8 special function I don't see anything else that could be done, including option to prime the fuel system.
@@mrfixpl then is not possible to start the fuel pump to see if the procedure is the same of vag diagnosis? Thanks again, top channel!
This has been asked in amazon.com two times(fall 2019) and in both cases Ancel team has assured that it can do it.
I bought one for this purpose and used for the first time today. It's under a folder for diesel. It runs the fuel pump for 3 x 60 second cycles passing 5 litres of fuel. You can hear the pump running and the fuel running through the fuel filter. Hope this helps.

I'm pretty sure that it can not. it only can remove the mirrorlink in motion lock but you need to have mirror link option active in your car first.

So no transmission adaptation?That sucks.I was going to buy this tool to be able to remove the stupid adaptation on my Audi C5 but meh...
I only wish it read oxygen sensors. Why would ANCEL not include this feature?

Hi does this show the injector values so i can see if injectors are good and does it have live data stream thanks
Yes it can
I hava a quest.. where you put the cable on car ?
to the OBD2 port.
Can you register a new battery for the Stop Start?
They claim that it will register new battery but I didn't had car for suitable for this procedure at that time.
does it have live data?
yes.

Show it DSG Oil Temperature?
It’s 12volts could I use it for a van?
Is your van operating at 12V? As far as I know this device will not work with 24V cars.
Does this reset airbag light on vw?
It sure can. Of course you need to read the fault and fix the issues first. But when you are done, you can use this to cleat the fault code.
Does this work for 2009 vw Passat cc
I believe it does.
Does this reset the Inspection service (not oil service as that can be done in the car)
There is no information relating to this!
I believe that "Special functions > service reset" will do it. Also you can do it "manually" in the module 17 (Instrument Cluster) > Adaptation.
Will it work on škoda?
Should work on VW, Seat, Skoda, Audi.
