LAUNCHCreader VII+ V2.0 OBD2 Scanner, 2025 New Engine/Transmission/ABS/SRS Diagnostic Scan Tool With Oil Reset/Throttle Adaption/SAS Relearn, Check Engine Code Reader, Full OBD2, Lifetime Free Update

Works well after about 6 years

Good

This device works well for what it does. However I was expecting more from it, such as brake resetting and more complex operations. I use it for simple operations such as resetting faults.

This seemed to work well on both my 2008 nissan and my 2013 mercedes. With both I was able to pull an codes and clear them. I was also able to pull real time stats from both vehicles.the interface is intuitive enough that I was able to move through most features without the need to read the instructions.There is also a information menu in this that gives you common causes to some engine codes.the only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because I can't seem to get the update tool to download. There is a card enclosed with a web location to it, but on that page, clicking on the link to the update tool, takes you to a 404 error.If there was no mention of updates or the card with a link to where it may be, I probably would have given this 5 stars as everything seems to work as expected. My only concerns come from my perception I may be missing out on something in updates.[UPDATE]Support got back to me the day after I had mentioned with a good link to the update tool.what I had received in my order was running a very recent version of what was available.

The CRP123 powers up but then powers off while actively analysing the vehicle after a short period (1-2 minutes). Mutiple tries over several days were consistant. Appears to be an internal power supply issue. I called customer service and they said they would refer to technical support who hasn't contacted me. The website doesn't have much info on this device, but it seems to suggest it may be an older device (?). Perhaps no longer supported (?) The manual says to register and update device at www.x431.com/CRP123 but my laptop pc security software says the website is "Forbidden". Also the manual says the device is only compatible with WINDOWS XP, 7, 8, and 10. Bottom line - stay away from this device - too many warning signs.

I went with this particular reader after a lot of research and comparing. Basically I wanted something for my old Mercedes that could also be used for other cars in the family. I was tired of paying over $500 per visit to the mechanic (magically every problem, no matter how big or small, cost about the same to fix, hmmmm fishy). This was a terrific investment. I no longer need to go to the mechanic for most issues. I can figure out the codes and get the parts I need to replace myself. If a little complicated, I can outsource the labor to a mechanic. Recently it caught an issue that occurred a day after I brought the car from the mechanic. After coughing over ~$900, i refused to take it back cause surely I'd have to pay more to get this fixed. Well, thanks to this device, figured out it was a small hose that was yanked out of its place. I put it back in, cleared the code, and it never came back. I see myself saving thousands in the long run with this. Just wish I thought of getting it sooner.

The media could not be loaded. As a professional mechanic, I have many extensive auto scan tools. Recently, I found this launch Creader vii+ that fixes ABS problems and only costs about 149 dollars. Once plugged in, it starts analyzing, then it goes through various vehicle systems to check it out. Upon reaching the ABS system, you can read and erase the fault codes after you fix it and get the info off the computer if you need. This tool gives every trouble code and explain what the code represents. It can show you if the stop lamps working and if the relays working, if the actuators working, ABS warning light is on or off, if any of the solenoids are on or off and not working, i do have to say that i never found a scan tool that’s about 149 dollars that can do all the stuff with ABS systems. You can see the live data in the data stream part, it shows you the speed of all the speed sensor to see if there’s a problem, if the data is correct or not. A great scan tool to help you fix your car’s ABS problems.

I bought a Bluetooth code reader before this purchasing, but because of unstable Bluetooth connection, the diagnostic information detected by that code reader is not accurate enough. This code scanner can start to work after simply plugging into the OBD II port, and it is very good at deciphering error codes of four systems, also providing me with viable solutions to the problem. For example, I got the error code of ABS - C1095, and it’s for "ABS Hydraulic Pump Motor Circuit Failure". Such a code reader can be caused by damaged or defective ABS hydraulic pump, wheel speed sensor(s), wheel bearings, Low brake fluid, Blown or damaged fuses, etc. and with series diagnosis, I am sure that the damaged wheel speed sensor(s) caused the failure. I managed to replace those sensors and cleared the diagnostic trouble codes. The warning light didn’t pop on the dashboard again. If you are interested in getting your car problem fixed yourself, I highly recommend this code scanner to you, it won’t let me disappoint!
