  • Update: after updating the tool it was able to talk to my 1999 Ford F350 with a 7.3. I'm not sure if the update changed something or if my first attempt was operator error.
    Here is the support group if you need help or have additional questions about the tool. groups/76779...
    Just picked up the New Launch Creader CRP129E scan tool off amazon.
    It can scan most makes and models and can do more than just OBD2 testing. It has the ability to scan Engine, transmission, ABS, airbag and Hybrid control modules. It lacks bi-directional controls but otherwise does a lot of stuff for the price.

    Good test. Useful information. I did see another video where it does do Auto Park Brake manually or has an auto pad change mode.
    I need to set a cam retard in a 99 Tahoe Vortec and my old Innova doesn't read camshaft position. A friend has offered to let me use his Snap-On. Last time I borrowed it, when I returned it, he told me how much it cost and visions of it going thru a fan flashed before my eyes. I just ordered one one of these, now down to just over $200 (6-2019) . I could run about 20 of these thru a fan and still be ahead of breaking the Snap-On, although it's a very nice tool, it's quite out of my range.
    I hope the Chinese version Launch CRP129e lasts me as long as my old Innova did, I paid about $220 for that one as well, and it's still a good tool for basic code reading and resets, but it's pushing 20 and that's nearly antique in this market.
    Thanks!

    update it via wifi as soon as u take it out of the box. that made a big difference. the charging cable is in the case pocket. i'm pretty happy with mine so far. it already paid for itself by reading an SRS code that I was able to repair myself. I really wanted bi-directional controls but can't really justify the added expense as a DIYer.
