Ancel FX2000 is a great choice for beginners in vehicle diagnostics since it comes with a great information library explaining the basics of OBD, but also different engine data parameters.

During the test, I realized it is exactly the same scanner as Launch CRP123 2.0, just packed in a different brand.
Both of them have helpful libraries on one side, but scanning modules outside of the engine did not work on all cars.
