AD530 Diagnostic Code Reader

Best Bangalore for your buck. Very accurate live data stream, straight forward code pulling and clearing. Shows current and pending codes. This little thing has saved me so much diagnostic time.

Got it for about $50 on sale and no regrets here. It’s not the most intuitive to use, but most scanners aren’t. Updating the firmware was a bit cumbersome since you have to use a PC to download the file. But for simple OBD code reading and clearing it works well. Not intended to read advanced DTCs like ABS or SRA codes but will read any check engine code. Saves you a trip to the auto parts store and having to deal with the limited capabilities.

My first scanner, with that being said it is easy to use. Accurate with a good display, easy to connect, functions as it should. All at a good price. Instructions are useless. So far so good.

Great value and quality built (so far) Manual that is included is small and vague and not very useful but I went online and you can download and print if you want a very good user manual that explains operations much clearer and there you can check and update your software version if needed but this one already had the updated version I like the rubberized cover nice and compact and the display is okay but could be a little bigger There is a bit of a learning curve but the online downloadable website manual helped tremendously I emailed customer service with a question and received a reply in under 24 hours that is impressive I’ve never used one of these before but right now it seems to be a very good product and I’d recommend it

I always wanted a device like this that I could use without any complications, and I finally found the best one... easy to use and understand... I liked it.

works good

Works as expected. Troubleshot error code. Was able to reset to verify if code was a fluke.

well they send a pamphlet on operating the tool which isn't much but I haven't hooked it up to my truck yet so I will take for granted that the screens for diagnosis will be more informative. It is just a basic scan tool to read codes and maybe reset your system instead of unhooking the battery which is what I usually do so it is at least worth that much and to see what the code amounts to and I am just a regular individual and not a shop so I am not doing any in depth diagnosis either.
