LAUNCHOBD2 Scanner CRP123X Elite, 2025 Lifetime Free WiFi Update scan Tool, FCA SGW, SAS Calibration/Throttle/Brake/BMS/D-P-F/Oil Reset/ABS bleeding, Multi Systems Car Scanner, Battery Test, Auto VIN

I remember back in my days as a professional mechanic the Snap On Modus scanner cost thousands of dollars and could do only a fraction of what this Launch scanner can do. It’s truly impressive not only in terms of cost, but the amount of information the unit can provide. This unit is great for both professional mechanics as well as shade tree mechanics. The only set back will be is how educated are in the information being gathered.

The launch CRP123X is an all in one, user friendly scan tool that you is easy on your wallet!Opening the box, you will find the unit and its cabling all neatly organized in a nice zippered case. The OBD cable, charging cord, and the unit itself fit perfectly inside this case. The unit came charged, so quickly attaching the OBD2 cable meant it was ready to go in literally seconds.Set up was very easy. It is quite snappy and responsive! Running on a recent Android software, initialization took very little time. Connecting to my wifi was just as easy as any other device would be. Upon connecting to the internet, there were multiple updates needing to be performed. Downloading all available updates, the process took about 10 minutes. This updated many makes and manufactures. After that I was ready to use!The quality of the unit itself is great. It feels solid and durable. A rubberized exterior feels good in your hands. The physical buttons produce a solid click, ensuring proper feed back. The screen is very good. It's touch screen, so if you'd rather not use the physical buttons, a simple tap allows you to navigate like any modern day tablet or smart phone.Additionally, the screen is impressively bright and easy to read. Its full color and easy to read even in direct sunlight. Adjusting the brightness can be done in the settings, allowing you to set it at whatever you prefer.Once connected to a vehicle, this unit provides you with a plethora of information. From baisic codes, to freeze frame data and even vehicle specific programming. The auto VIN read function is great. It can identify the vehicle Make, Model, Trim level, Engine, and Transmission for you. It will also then automatically run a scan producing an easy to understand summary of the health of your vehicle on the spot. This can be easily shared to the specified email address input during the initial set up. This is great information to have both for a shop to keep records and to present to a customer. You can also save a copy of this information to the cloud or to the device itself. The system also allows you to manually input the vehicle information should you choose to do so should you not want to utilize the Auto VIN read functionality.Being able to read live data is crucial to todays technician. This device provides just that! I was able to easily select multiple PCM catagories and read real time input and out put. You can see almost all information the PCM does making data logging easy. It can be overwhelming to see all that data at once, so Launch incorporated the ability to select specific lines of data to focus on should you only want to see one aspect while diagnosing.There are limitations to the unit out of the box, but additional services can be upgraded through the units "Mall" application. ABS Brake system flushing, TPMS relearning, hybrid battery system services, and many more can all be purchased for a small fee. This is very beneficial as you can upgrade your capabilities as needed, instead of having to purchase additional tools or programs across multiple platforms or devices. This means you buy what you need as needed rather than spending hundreds of dollars of applications you may never use.Overall, this diagnostic tool is a small functional powerhouse with immense potential at an affordable price point. If you are looking for a scan tool thats easy to use, easy to understand, and wont break the bank, I would recommend this to be a great starting point.

Little hard to figure out but worksGood

Excelente escáne recomendado.

It's great

Nice but not for my car

====================================UPDATE: January 30th, 2021Software update version 1.25 changes the language to Chinese, and disables the change language option in the settings.If I do a factory reset, I can't use the diagnostic software because it says I need to do an update 1st, effectively turning this into a brick.Post-update, (Aside from the obvious language problem) there an ad that's on the screen when it comes out of standby/power saving/hibernate mode.(Will add pre-update & post update pictures, and will update review again pending sellers reply)====================================Pros: Price, functionality, usability after initial setup & updates.Cons: confusing update process; online documentation/support site is lackingI purchased this device on Dec. 19th and lucked out with same day delivery. After receiving it, I turned it on and started the updating process. This is where it gets funky. Everytime the core software downloaded, it prompted to "manually install" the update. There is nothing in the User Manual about manually updating the software. It says it installs automatically, but it keeps saying "manually install" on the device.Even after you updated to the latest version of a manufacturers diagnostic software, it still lists them all, which is confusing. (See 1st pic)It should ONLY list the versions that are outdated.Other than that, I DO feel this is still a pretty good bang for your buck - it has freeze frame data, diagnostic report saves, (see 2nd pic) live data, and a few other nifty features.The menus are self explanatory, (3rd pic) and the buttons are decent size, given the fact it's a 5" screen.Packaging was nice. It came with a carry pouch, the OBDII/serial cable, and a charging cable.One dissapointment: they stress the importance of using the right voltage/amperage rated adapter. Why didn't they include one? Granted, its a USB cable, so it's probably capped out at 5v@2a, which means any 2a phone charger will work. I don't know if I'd risk using a "Turbo/Fast charger" (Samsung phones) , as they put out a higher amperage.Other than that, I'd rate this a solid 4.5 *Provide online documentation, streamline the update process, and include a charging plug if your gonna be specific about the voltage/amperage ratings.
