my 2018 TACOMA TRD cannot connect to BlueDriver, Ancel and Launch 129e scanners ......so i cannot read the check engine light code ....anyone having this problem ?
 
It doesn't connect at all? Sometimes when it's "maintenance" time, I'd get a check engine light temporarily. Not sure if that show up in a scan or even counts as having a code.

I've used:
KZYEE KC501 OBD2 Scanner - Worked.
BAFX OBD2 Scanner - Worked. Was also able to modify truck settings with apps.
Tactrix - Used with Techstream. Works for reading and flashing everything.

ZUS Smart Vehicle Health Monitor - This was some free thing. I don't remember if it required just their app or if it worked at all.
 
I've only used a Tactrix cable with Techstream on mine, but I've read that aftermarket headunits can interfere with OBD devices. If you have one, check the settings to see if you can turn off its OBD connection and try your scanner again.
