I just purchased this one , Autel AP200 from Amazon and this 38Pin Diagnostic Connector for Autel MS906/908 Be*z Car Diagnostic Tool NEW from ebay. They seem to work pretty good. Did full system scan had quite a few stored faults and scanner erased all but one. Can also do live scan.

I see it doesn't read the bas/esp codes that's the reason why I was looking for a scanner that will read them codes so I can fix and shut them lights out I guess the autel doesn't I'm back at square one again

It looks like the bas is part of the esp. I see a bas fault in the esp test.
