If all scan tools had you reviewing them and showing different module communications the way you do I wouldn’t be struggling to find one I love! However because of you I’m getting this one!
Thanks for everything, Sherwood!
I am loving all this knowledge I'm picking up from your videos!
I have that same one. I'm not a professional, but it was an amazing tool for me to trouble shoot my entire evap emission issues and missfires. Saved me a lot of money and helped me narrow down the issues.
This was a very good review. Much information and well described. Was able to learn from you. Thanks for that! Best regards from germany
Any time you do scan tool reviews you have to let the viewers know if there is a subscription for the updates, how much they are and how often you need to get them. Doesn't matter how good they are, if there is an expensive subscription it's probably going to be a deal
braker.
Heard they put ransom ware in them to! After the free updates if you don't buy the updates after it won't let you access diagnostic until you pay for the update! Not sure if true! But that's a deal breaker!
The launch scanners get 2 free years of updates then you have to pay. Would be nice to know that kind of stuff before buying one and what the updates cost.
per info above its $150/yr for updates.@@XxTWMLxX
@@XxTWMLxXyep these tools can often cost more than more expensive tools in the long run. Might be cheaper up front but not long term
Absolutely. This model isn't cost effective for me. Nice, but I can't afford it.
Thank you for your patience
Helpful presentation !
Thanks !!
Thanks for sharing Professor👍
More diagnostic tool reviews. I am a new subscriber, and was impressed at how you explained the basic operation n a clear way. Thanks, and God bless you and your family ❤
This was super helpful… Thanks !
Love tool reviews! Would also like to see any shop tips you guys may have as well. For shop efficiency or neat equipment. I saw in one of your videos a funnel attached to the hoist and thought 🤔 saves a few minutes of hunting
Very good review, thanks, I think I’ll be picking one of these up soon.
Yes I like scanner reviews, great videos.
nice information! thanks for the knowledge!
great video thanks for sharing like tool reviews sometimes i find tools i didn't know were out there thanks
Honest review. Thank you.
I would like to see more tool reviews like this one.
Great review, Thanks for sharing.
Nice1..Royal & thank u
This was very informative. This is definitely on the top of my list now.
Great review, thanks!
That was great really really great
I love tool reviews so keep them coming. I'm a DIY'er and have bought various scan tools over the years. A couple of years ago I bought a Thinktool Pros which uses Launch software which looks very similar to the tool you are reviewing and it has been a good scanner so far.
Hi, Does it have a subscription locked features, or not? Thanks in advance.
@@petergrunvald9200 I also have a Thinktool Pros which I bought almost two years ago. My subscription expires in early October so no more updates if I don't renew. I'm not sure if I lose any features or not once the subscription expires. I may find out soon because I don't know if I will renew it or not.
I can say from experience why I don't like graphing more than 4 pids at a time and it's mainly because it lowers the refresh rate having too many pids at once. Example I do is I always try to graph 2 o2 sensors at a time to catch any glitches with the fastest refresh rate possible.
Topdon has basically the same model and platform. I think they're sister companies. I love mine. As a diy, it gives me enough data to make a repair, or take it in to my mechanic for the bigger jobs. But money well spent imo. Great review!
I have the topdon version and I regret buying it because I am more of a nuts and bolts person, I am not good with all this tech stuff.
So if anyone is going to buy one think carefully about whether you will be able to use it if your tech skills are not good. Mine doesn't find my cars vin, where my neighbours $40 one does.🙃
I have this unit and found a couple minor inconveniences. One, the older the vehicle, the more chance it will miss the VIN. On a 2007 RAV4, it would not pull the VIN and had to be added manually before it would work. Two, it needs to be connected to the Internet in order to work. This could be an issue when doing a road test, though have not attempted to do one yet. Three, it is subscription based for module and vehicle updates, but includes the first 2 years free. I bought it for doing Focus clutch installs and maintaining Diesels.
you can connect to your hotstop on your phone if you are on the road
I’ll stick with my cheap scanner ,
It does not need to be connected to the internet to work. Mine works just fine without WiFi.
@@ede4345what scanner do you use?
@@ZahdakaYAH innova 5512
Yes more tool reviews would be good as well
We’d like to see you guys do a real diag with a budget scan tool. Not an commercial for Launch even though they do make a good tool costing $1299.00.
Great owner. God bless.
Luv tool reviews
I would love to see more tool reviews
"Mr. Subaru1387" does a ton of them, including which name brand tools are made by other manufacturers and can be bought much cheaper without having "Matco" or "Snap On" stamped on them.
Good video!
More tool reviews and capabilities of those tools. I hear Top Don is blowing Autel out of the water now. Im in the market for a good scan tool and doing research.
It also charges while it is plugged in to the car. Not the way you want to charge it, but this does mean that if the battery is just about dead it will still allow you to work and not have to wait while it charges.
goodSummary I enjoyed it
Great honest video. I have two cheap scan tools but neither can read ABS codes.
Pretty good price point, but like my Autel bi-directional scanner, it’s a $150/ year subscription and I would be interested to know if theirs a subscription fee with this unit. I thought this was a very honest review and I really enjoy honest tool/equipment reviews. It’s very helpful for the DIY person.
I love that Z Fold
Appreciate ur automotive skills & jump starting brain.👍
Thank you
I enjoy tool reviews....
Great video and explanation. Will it help me with re calibrating my rear blind spot sensors on Mazda CX-5 ?
Tools review 👍
good review! i would like to see TPMS SERVICE TOOL are there any that give a level of battery strength other than just good or bad. maybe in % of battery level per sensor. thanks
Launch has several models available
Each does different scanning. 😮
You're a good owner. Would love to work for you. Keep it up
There are some guys out there that have a tool adiction. Is not me, but a friend of a friend has that issue that's why I am saying tool reviews might be a good idea.
ive got a friend that is a tool and parts hoarder
@@johnmitchell8925 I could be that friend 😆
On Launch and Creader series there is a free firmware and update per year. Additional modules have to be paid for. I have a Launch Creader vii+/viii pro. I brought to work on KIA vehicles and it does a pretty good job. The only draw back is on ABS electronic control module, which it doesn't do. I don't know if the Launch in the video will. My go to scanner is an Innova. I like the repair solutions app, which provides the approximate cost of repairs and maintenance.
What model Innova do you have and recommend?
I was looking at the Innova 5610
Thanks..
I am looking for a replacement for my out dated solus...
So many different scanners to choose from .
Thats for sure very mind-boggling trying to sift through all the junk
Would be nice to see a second review after you read all the comments.
Also for tecs. interested should always read all the comments.
Good review.
Have you checked out the TopDon TopScan tool? It's a bidirectional, wireless scanner with blue tooth and the "lite" version is only $80 with 1 year sub free. After that it's $50/yr or so. Pretty awesome price and has a lot of features that this one has. Would be great to hear your comparison.
More Tool reviews!
Interesting and I learned a few things, but can someone tell me where to find more info on the model specific DTCs that are identified? They are short and cryptic and I don't know how to interpret them. I assumed I could look them up online like P codes from an ODB II scanner, but that is not the case. Thoughts??
Hi, I like your videos and thanks for this review. I am a home mechanic and have only used low end scan tools around $30. Can you recommend any tools priced similar to this LAUNCH tool that do show individual graphs? I have a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 that I would like to get the best tool I can afford for it ($500 to $1k) because its proven it will be much needed for the rest of this vehicle's life. Maybe you are familiar with some of its more noted issues. So if you could make a good recommendation for best diagnostic tools in the $500 to $750 range for 2014 and newer GMC vehicles, would be appreciated by many I'm sure. Also wondering what exactly the annual subscriptions for these tools provide and if they are required to keep using the tool.
I recently bought this and overall it's a nice upgrade over my Autel DiagLink. However, the one thing I didn't know prior to purchasing and it's quite important is that you can't monitor data pids and perform a bi-directional test both at the same time. So for example, if you want to see how the O2 sensors react while you turn on the evap purge valve...you can't do that. You can go into actuations and turn on the evap purge valve but you can't see the real-time o2 data stream.
Any info What tool does that?
I loved the video yes id love to see more review on tools and diagnosis
You be gained a new Dan and subscriber! Hopefully something will come up soon on misfire. My 2015 Silverado 1500 5.3 has been misfiring cylinder 5 for a year. I swapped coil pack . Changed all plugs and cylinder 5 is still the issue. Only 25,000 miles. I owned since new.
I meant FAN not Dan.
Have you checked the injector for that cylinder? Easy quick check is with mechanics stethoscope to place on number 5 and listen for the injector “click”. This scan tool reviewed probably can show the pulse of the injector.
I am looking to update my older Innova (OBD1 & OBD2) scan tool. I like the Launch but have a question. My 2020 Silverado 3.0 diesel has an issue with the integrated trailer brake control system. My trailer/camper brake wiring chafed and shorted to the trailer frame which caused my trucks trailer brake system to malfunction (30amp fuse good). I think either the dash mounted switch or the trailer brake power control module are bad. Will this Launch allow my to diagnose this issue "modules)? Thank you.
Thanks for another great video! Is there an annual update charge?
This would be a good tool for the serious DIYer.
I looked up the Launch CRP919E and there was an option for a pro 5 and a Launch CRP919EBT that was wireless other then the wireless option is there any differences with each, the price was about the same...
BTW good write up and I do agree with a prevous comment about the subscription price info... R...
Does this tool do component matching after a part has be replaced, like an O2 sensor on the newer cars?
You should start by saying is got a nice size screen😊
The model number would be very helpful when you do reviews, thanks. If i missed it sorry.
listed in the description as the Launch CRP919E scanner
Do you have to register for auto off for newer CAN stuff
Maybe wise to contact the manufacturer and let them know what kind of vehicle you have and have them tell you if you are able to access full functionality.
will this scanner tell you what is wrong that the air bag light is on? Will it tell you which door is an issue when it says a door is ajar when the doors are closed? Thanks . Will it let you see what is wrong with your transmission or solenoids? Does it allow you to activate car items?
I wonder if you could program an SBC and plug it into the cars computer port. It would be a project, but those little computers have powerful processors. You could watch a how-to video with your scanner.
Does it do a camshaft position relearn? 2000 model Chevy is what I’m needing one for
I want to reset the fuel additive sensor on my 2009 Volvo V70 1.6D with 109 horsepower, which is showing the P1932 error code. Despite filling up and replacing the additive tank, the car still indicates a low level of the DPF additive used for exhaust cleaning. I'm considering purchasing the LAUNCH CRP919X and would like to know if it has the capability to reset the fuel additive sensor in my car, since it's incorrectly showing a low level despite being filled. Can the LAUNCH CRP919X perform this sensor reset for my specific vehicle model?
Will it open and close EVAP purge and vent solenoids?
Can you turn off dealer specific items or check them? IE: side detection
Bought the unit...what is sad is that you can't send PDF reports with it directly. You have to "print" the report from the browser into a PDF file manually. It is the same with the Launch X431 Creader Elite. How do you add it to your reports? Also manually copy and paste from the browser?
Does this scanner record screen or take screenshots?
"Will this LAUNCH X431 CRP919E do a active test to demand max fuel pressure on the cp3 injection pump to test?for a 2005 gmc sierra 2500hd with a 6.6L duramax?if not do you know what bidirectional scanner will? thank you
Is this a subscription based tool? Lifetime updates or limited? Just curious. Good video btw
Can you reset the keep alive memory ?
Do more scanner reviews
Will that tool look up adas errors for toyotas??
Does this reset throttle bodies like for GM vehicles especially when you install new TB?
I don't know. Would have to get one in a try.
Which model is that I have the milliem master
Thump up no matter what!
Do you have to pay every year in order for this OBD reader to work ? If you dont pay does that still work ? Do you need to have internet to used it ? If you don't updates does that still work without updates ? Out from the box can you used it without wifi or internet ? Can this scan for Fuel Pressure ? And can this do compression test ?
Will this scanner work for programming a used computer for a 2011 outback? Will it do programming period?
Just bought it but for almost $100 less then the price you quoted, you didn't mention the automatic update feature which mine did 84 right out of the box. Great tool I bought it for my wife's Mitsubishi Outlander GT which had an issue with the EPB which the tool took care of and I have a report for my records. Also the tool comes with two years of free updates and it will auto update whenever you turn it on & are within WiFi reception. I do agree the cord is a little short but that might be for it to meet the DoIP support for this unit.
Can it do zero point calibration on Toyotas?
Does this let you do a "factory reset" to the ECU? If that is such a thing...
I'm wondering if this will work on Semi trucks?
14:45 is where you wanted to see; you’re welcome.
I would like to know the differences between the 919E BT and the 919X BT
Does this launch require a subscription?
How much does it cost?
How often is it required?
Hi! I'm a MOPAR man have one question 2019 and newer MOPAR's does it work or get through the FCA Security Gateway?
I have one, It works good on my Porsche.
can you relearn Throttle Body with this tool?
What model number scaler is this one?
Will it do diesel trucks
Can this connect to your phone Bluetooth / hotspot for internet or?
While waiting for the health repair to finish, you could have mentioned some info starring us in the face, it seems as though the onboard battery will charge while plugged into the car, I also see a wifi symbol. I do not see a TOPOLOGY map. It did not count the modules for us on the tool but it did when shared, and we may not know if a module is dead or not reporting for some reason right on the tool quickly, and the report did not give any direct engine info, size or engine model specifically. When manually scrolling down the Scan Data, I did not see a scroll bar on the right side of the screen. I don't expect TOPOLOGY on a cheap tool, I have heard that these Chinese tools are all LAUNCH Software and they list capabilities that they do not actually do, but Snap-On does what is listed?? I must have a scroll bar and I must have an on-screen module count and missing/dead module reported.
I am ok with your channel doing tool reviews but please come back with an update after using it for a few months to let us know more PROS and CONS based on our feedback and your personal usage, cheers
I only found your channel a few months ago, now you are on my list of about 200 non-DIY technician channels and I will be watching 100% of your videos, the first one I saw was interesting enough to include on my list which must include at least 2 of my 4 S's, scope, scanner, service info, schematics. Most comments are positive but I like to keep it real and give my honest opinion so pls don't take my constructive criticism too harshly, that is not my intent. I have 35 years of experience and I am semi-retired now looking to get back into the Mobile business again in 2024 as a diagnostician only.
Does this tool erase permanent PCM codes like on a Chrysler?
Does anyone have a suggestion for a scan tool for the shade tree mechanic that works on his own stuff I don't need graphing but I do need to diagnose everything on newer vehicles and don't want to spend too much money or money that I didn't have to spend?
