(4.8 / 5)Vehicle diagnosis is complicated enough to warrant the invention of helpful tools such as the Wsiiroon Professional OBDII Scanner. This full-featured professional vehicle diagnostic kit comes with its own color screen, a rugged yet ergonomic build, and support for all OBDII protocols known today. While some would argue that getting free software updates for life is this OBDII scanner’s best feature, it is hard to downplay its sheer compatibility with a wide range of vehicles, and its ease of use.
FEATURES
Reads and Defines Engine Fault Codes
You can use the Wsiiroon Professional OBDII Scanner to read fault codes and DTCs and to clear them as well. Thanks to its built-in DTC lookup library, which contains over 3,000 generic code definitions, you can also learn what specific codes mean. This makes it a lot easier to quickly and accurately diagnose and solve vehicle issues.
Performs a Comprehensive Range of Tests
The Wsiiroon Professional OBDII Scanner supports all OBDII protocols, including CAN, ISO9141, KWP2000, J1850 PWM, and J1850 VPW. It supports both generic (P0, P2, P3, and U0) and manufacturer-specific (P1, P3, and U1) code requests.
The scanner is also capable of showing more technical diagnostic information. It can read and display live PCM data streams and perform 02 Sensor and Evaporative Control System Tests as well. It can measure Freeze frame data, such as the vehicle’s current speed, engine coolant temperature, and airflow in real-time.
All the collected data is neatly displayed in both text and graph form for quicker analysis.
Displays Vehicle Information
In addition to displaying a wide range of vehicle diagnostics data,you can use the Wsiiroon Professional OBDII Scanner to view vehicle information.
The details displayed in this mode include the vehicle’s identification number (VIN), its calibration ID (CID), and its Calibration Verification Number (CVN).
Resets Monitors and Turns off MIL
A more basic but useful function of the Wsiiroon Professional OBDII Scanner is its ability to turn off MIL (check engine lights, for instance) and reset monitors.
This makes it easier to understand the cause behind various warning symbols and is a good fix for malfunctioning indicator lights.
2.8″ LCD Color Display
Every bit of information is displayed on a crisp LCD color screen which measures 2.8″ diagonally. This is plenty of screen to view various diagnostic data and information in great detail.
The addition of a color screen makes this scanner easier on the eye and great for professional use. In fact, it is enough to make up for its lack of mobile connectivity, which is a key feature in several models today.
The interface is slick yet easy to navigate, and very attractively laid out. The Wsiiroon Professional OBDII Scanner is quite easy to use even for the beginners.
Audio and LED Indicators Display Trouble Code Status
Three LED indicators and live audio feedback allow you to find out the status of various components of your vehicle. Different colors represent different statuses while audio feedback lets you know which components need repair or
replacement.
If nothing else, this feature makes the Wsiiroon Professional OBDII Scanner a more useful tool especially since it guides the user towards the right direction when solving trouble codes.

COMPARISONS
Wsiiroon Professional OBDII Scanner vs. ANCEL AD310 Universal OBDII Scanner
(4.6 / 5)Display
The ANCEL AD310 has a decent monochromatic LCD display with backlight. Compared to the Wsiiroon’s 2.8″ color screen, however, it is inferior. Therefore, the Wsiiroon’s glorious LCD makes it the winner of this category.
Value for Money
The ANCEL AD310 OBDII scanner goes for about 50USD less than the Wsiiroon and as such, it appears to be the better option here. However, if you consider that the Wsiiroon comes with upgradeable software and a bunch of other nifty features, you’ll see that it provides the most value. Nevertheless, if you just want an OBDII scanner for basic diagnosis, the ANCEL AD310 works just fine.

(4.4 / 5)Functionality
Both these devices are capable of scanning a number of OBDII protocols. However, the Wsiiroon can access the Internet, which gives it access to more code definitions. This makes it more versatile, especially for professionals who need the latest resources in their day-to-day.
Connectivity
BlueDriver connects to smartphones, tablets, and other devices via Bluetooth. This is convenient if you’re constantly using different devices since all you need to do is pair them with the adapter.
Wsiiroon displays all the data on its LCD screen and it requires no apps or connections to function. For that reason, it is clearly the better option.
