Ansel BZ700 Scanner
Got this scanner on a “Black Friday” special (that you can still magically get for the same price lol) for just over a hundred bucks. It has “Mercedes-specific” scanning functions for resetting replacement batteries, resetting brake pad sensors, etc. For such short dough it seemed pretty cool. I can scan and find faults in body modules, HVAC modules, etc too. And of course it’s an OBD-II scanner as well. My one beef is it will tell you there are faults in some of these modules (and let you clear them) but doesn’t know the names of all of the faults which is a little aggravating. But for the money it seems decent. Anyone else use it?

So far it seems like pretty good bang-for-the-buck but very limited use (mostly just what was in my original post). For $100, to get something with several MB-specific functions seems like a deal. Be handy for flushing brake system or changing brake pads, recognizing new batteries, etc. Probably not curing cancer with it. 😂

Just an update as I’ve had a chance to finally play around with this scanner… TLDR; it’s garbage. Not sure what the point of buying an MB-specific scanner is if it can’t do anything beyond a typical OBD-II scanner? It can’t register a new battery (even though it’s advertised to) and it will tell me that other modules have error codes…but it can’t tell me what the code is… So if you’re looking for a good MB scanner, this Ancel junk isn’t it. 👎

Thinkdiag+ has been a lifesaver TBH. For <$200 it can code modules and perform special functions. recently coded out the SOS light and re-coded my rear SAM

Back to the Launch scanner for a second, not sure about coding but it at least can change certain parameters such as:
