TOPDON OBD2 Scanner ArtiDiag Series Phoenix Series Forums & Media Review: An essential piece of kit for every car owner - I’m not a mechanic, and I usually panic if any messages show up on my XC90. I’d trawl the car to the garage and pay at least £75 for the privilege too, just to be told that I’d need a fuse replaced or to top up on coolant (the fault messages aren’t that obvious on the Volvo!) I bought this on a whim because I was having light troubles, and it arrived quite quickly. I was able to find the plug in port and the instructions were very easy to follow. Turns out, I have a defective relay for my rear lights. It was extremely easy to identify once I’d got the scanner plugged in. It will still cost me a fortune to fix, but at least I know what I’m dealing with! I really liked the option on the scanner to be able to view the emissions system of my Volvo as the MOT is coming up and I’m always scared of it failing on that. My favourite feature is being able to clear the codes. I have been trying to clear off the messages about my lights for months, and now I’ve been able to take it off and stop the distractions while driving. I’ve also booked my car in to sort out the relay switch, so it’s been really good and saved a couple of quid! I can also update the software if I need to check the other half’s car too, there’s always a newer car coming into the house. This is a portable device to keep in your glovebox, with a handy LED to help me locate the OBD slot - it’s fiddly, but I can see what I’m doing. My brother wants to borrow mine, but I think I might get him one for his birthday if he’s lucky. I don’t want to get rid of mine. Review: Worth it - Worked on both mine and Mrs car, easy to use and navigate menus, gave clear fault codes and the ability to erase, worth it Worked on 2003 pegeot and 2016 focus. ## Features - 【2-In-1 Code Reader and Battery Tester】TOPDON's ArtiLink500B is a multifunctional OBDII code reader, which perfectly combines the OBDII and battery test functions.

Can be purchased without the battery tester but the tester is very good indeed. I have an old fashioned 'Drop tester' which is great but this (battery test function) is streets ahead. Reviews on YouTube too. ## Frequently Bought Together - TOPDON ArtiLink500B OBDII Code Reader & Car Battery Tester 2-in-1, Full OBD 2 Function, Automotive 12V Battery Tests & 12V/24V Cranking Tests/Charging Tests, I/M Readiness, Data Printing, Free Update - Cataclean Petrol | Complete Fuel & Exhaust Cleaner | Catalytic Converter, Valve & Injector Cleaner | Fuel Additive Formulated for Performance & Fuel Efficiency | Pre MOT Emissions Reducer | 500ml - LIQUI MOLY Cera Tec 3721 I Ceramic Wear & Tear Protection for Petrol & Diesel Engines I Smoother Engine Performance, Less Friction & Lower Fuel Consumption I Ceramic Additive 300 ml Pack of 1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/511441430-topdon-artilink500b-obdii-code-reader-and-car-battery-tester-2](https://www.desertcart.be/products/511441430-topdon-artilink500b-obdii-code-reader-and-car-battery-tester-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-06-17*
