100% honest review.. Awesome. Thank you
Thank you for the video James a good review and Take Care 😎👍🇬🇧.
Great review. Many thanks 👍🏻
A CASE relearn is a Crank Angle Sensor Error relearn, which realigns the position between the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor. This relationship helps the vehicle determine advanced misfires.
these tools are not bad at all the computer lead is also for updates too good video matey keep it up !
Great review mate! Just find it funny that it’s actually more expensive than you bought the Astra for 🤙😂
Nice reviews content.This scan tool real similar Launch CRP129E,the only difference is CRP129E have a full touch screen.
Was wondering if this can also read live data for the ABS system to act like a PICO scope ?
James, you should've tried it on your Fiesta. I remember you having the engine light come on when you first got the Astra. Come to think of it, you could try it on the Astra as well. The engine problem might've thrown up some error codes.
I know I am quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to stream new tv shows online ?
@Jax Forrest lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
thanks for the vid
Sometimes the ECU stored past faults ,and nothing comes up on the dash ,does this scanner can show past faults or just current faults or no faults .....Also if you know the differences with the FX6000 Thanks
you need to do the latest update.
good introduction.
have you solve the issue yet?
If it was under £100 id probably consider it, i use a usb odb2 scanner in a laptop with op com software on my vauxhall, best tool going can program basically every function on the car and does live data + fault codes best £20 ive spent! Dont see the point in £250 for basic features but good review mate!
James are you based in London? I need something replacing on my Honda jazz
If you want full features though, your best off with dedicated tools. As your mainly a Vauxhall guy i can highly recommend a "Vxdiag VCX Nano GM". They are approx £80. Basically they are clones of the GM MDI tool. They need to work with a Windows laptop. They come with a DVD that has a virtual machine on it with "GM Tech II Windows". So you have full main dealer GM tool functionality. With GlobalTIS you can connect your car to GM via the internet. Either using internet sharing on your phone, or using your house wifi. Then you can update all the ECU's on your car to the latest GM software. I updated all the ECU's in my Wifes Astra Elite, engine, auto gearbox. Even update the stereo to the latest software. If your a vauxhall guy and have £80 spare, its a no brainer.
Paul Taylor I have opcom but I'm glad I read your comment. I'll check that out for my vectra because I don't think the ECU has been updated since factory.
@Chris. No, the OpCom does not work with GM GlobalTIS, and so cannot update your cars software from GM. With the VX DIAG, you can update the engine ecu, auto gearbox ecu, abs, radio, Graphic screen and so on. Basically fully update the whole car to latest. With the wifes Astra, it made it alot smoother and MPG seemed to improve. It might have been the changes to the auto box programming.
I've got one of these gm vx nano. It's a piece of junk. Tech2win only works on pin number 8 on the Corsa c. Pin3, 7,12 do not work. Tried it on later full can astra h. Low speed and mid speed can don't work. 3 replacements later it still don't work. In fact it caused a none start afterwards. Had to resolve it with vauxcom. The official forum is full of people with this issue but no fix for it and it's now gone offline so no support. Don't waste your money.
Dont know why you have had so many issues. Not had any issues at all with mine. Updated all engine software on a 11 plate Insignia 2 weeks ago. I have also worked on 4 different Astra H's again, no issue.
Not sure tbh, maybe a bad batch. I gave up with it in the end. It's sat on my bench as it makes a good paperweight.
Does this have immobiliser functions and does it have dpf regeneration?
Got a 1.9cdti vectra needs a bit of fixing up ... Buying a new car soon and this car would make great content for your channel, still drives using it right now
Thank you
I have seen you using this scanner before on your cars since you review this tool. my question is this. Would you buy this scanner if you was looking to upgrade? I have a little scanner
I’m an occasional user, 4 cars. I use dash command on iPhone with a Bluetooth dongle, it’s free, dongle £10. Gives codes, live data etc etc. Best £10 i spent
But the cheap tools don't read all the modules, only emissions related stuff. Since I only have one car but wanted a proper but cheap scanner, I opted for the consumer version by Autel, which gives you the pro features, but for only one manufacturer. You can add manufacturer profiles for other cars for 10 bucks each.
Can you do a CASE relearn with this after you changed the PCM module
Great!!!
Would this tool work on a Ford mondeo 2004 model
the bluetooth ones work fine, cheap too.
Good review fella but no jeep or toyota options? Manufacturers list seems a bit limited for the money. The hunt for a decent jeep obd tool continues....
Do you still use this scan tool am interested to see your thought a year on
What blue one that you got sent a while ago??
Have you tried to update the tool online. A mates just bought this and it only covered upto 2012. When he updated it online using the company website he's lost most of the manurfacturers. He's trying to resolve the issue.
Do a mk2 arosa project that would be sick
Any good for Australian cars ???
It started off looking a bit junky but turns out to be pretty decent 👍
can it reset toyota avalon shift adapts? BTW love the background music mate ... cheers from America. "There gonna know that you know that you know what you're talking about even if you don't" LoL
Things like that is too expensive to read data stream only. It must be able to use special functions, for example "turning on radiator fan" and so on. Also it will be good to be able to enter special menu as for example VAG internal menu. Otherwise it's useless.
Autek ifix969 is a two-way scanner upgrade to this for a bit more money. Great option for the weekend warrior. Less than $350 U.S.
Would have been great if it could diagnose why your astra was burning oil lol
Totally agree with LoudAsFuckk
Top fella :D
id keep goign at it if i were you, otherwise alot of work and sentimental value lost, if i were you id get a small endoscope or use an old phone to record what and where the leak is, hopefully is a simple and quick fix, and oil is very good at sticking to surfaces and can defy gravity so watch out for the coanda effect making the oil appear in different places, also test crank case vent and make sure its clear
Seems pretty good. I wonder if it can reset the flashing red oil can (change engine oil light) on Fiat diesel engines with a DPF, apparantly alot of tools can't do it.
supposedly it can reset the dpf
Hi Mate. love your vids and it's good to see you reviewing some stuff. But I would not buy this product because of the suspect reviews on Amazon. Many of them show the typical signs of being paid reviews, check out the reviewers profiles, their buying patterns etc. The first clue is always that the product is coming from a company based in Guangdong.
I don't know why they resort to such shady tactics as some of the cheap stuff they sell is alright for the price.
I would recommend anyone using amazon to check the reviews before purchasing such a pricey item.
I agree. Unit is sold under a few different names. I have the Autek ifix969. I've found it has a number of flaws in functionality and programming. Hoping they work the bugs out with future software updates.
Can this scan tool use on a Mazda 323 bj
I wonder if you can read the individual voltage of cells in hybrid cars with this?
ss rami very highly doubt it
I spent the Money, bc the local Parts Store wanted more money for less ability. So far, I hate it. Slow loading, etc. (Updated in Comments)
Update, after tinkering on a few cars, I have come to like this Unit. A lot of cool features. These features are not well explained, so I learned them while paying attention and digging around. Very capable tool. Still need to work out updating.
not keen on that. they should of made the screen touch screen and bigger. some of the handheld OBD2 can do the same as this and are a lot smaller. but it's good to see company's sending you items to review.
Eh I personally prefer buttons for stuff like this, touch screens get filthy really quick and in tools like these they are usually resistive type touch screens so they are never great. Screen could be bigger too, though it might be more vulnerable to dropping etc then (which is probably why they made it so bulky)
Yeah its definitely too expensive, really only fulltime and professional mechanics would spend that much on something like this.
I looks like they have tried to make it look expensive but the software looks basic and there are a lot cheaper handheld ones that do the same for less money. I would be disappointed if I paid that much. I would want it to programme keys, ECU's, CIM for that price. also looks like something out of the 90s as a handheld console lol
The fx 4000 problem is updated and viros
really wish you'd gone into service functions. I'm literally just trying to find out what actuation functions this thing has and nobody seems to be talking about that.
Exactly. There's a million code readers at this price and cheaper. Need to know what functions it has. Can it bleed brakes? Spin back calibers? Actuation tests?
Looks good, but I use an android app that cost me £2 and also has live features. Does what I need it to do. Good piece of kit though.
What android app do you use?
The Documentary Dude I use Torque Pro
Ah ok which bluetooth adaptor did you get? I guess that's the priciest part
@@TheDocumentaryDude I paid £5 for a little blue OBD11 dongle. Requires WiFi.
if you lose or break the leads or connectors, forget the tool they dont sell spares or give pinout diagrams so you cant make replacements for this and it becomes a useless brick
Guess it's ok for the price but only listing cars up to 2012 is kinda poor.
Doesn't have honda? :O
Honda is not European will be under the Asian logo
5:00 finally plugs it in
dont need a tool too tell u why your car is broke steering wheel on wrong side. i just messing i looking to by the ancel fx 6000 or autel
I just ordered the fx6000 on ebay.
Know what your in about even if you don't 😂😂😂😂
Blue Driver works great and only $100 on amazon
Agreed. CEL, ABS, SRS and transmission codes.
£250? i bought an autel for £28 it even came with an extra bluetooth attachment so you can use it wire free with a phone. this way with fordsysfree app i can get live data also you can access many modules including pcm and you can access dtc codes aswell both pending and confirmed. your tool does nothing more for much more money
finding a few for 200euro on alibaba/aliexpress
This is just a rebranded Autek scanner That ECU not found error is a common fault of this Chinese built scanner. I suspect their programming is flawed in a rush to go to market in a hurry.
Yes friend I try Autek same failure
@@alilbl3350 They are pushing major software updates almost weekly for this scanner. Hopefully, they will get the programming bugs worked out soon.
FRIEND you have the Autek
Ifix 919
Bit expensive for the home mechanic and definitely not good enough for professional use. Unless you've got a car made in the last few years I'd just get a delphi ds150 clone off ebay for £50 and install it on an old laptop.
What's in that glass mug....Guinness??😂😂
Oil. You're not a true car enthusiast if you don't drink used oil by the cup full.
@@simonj48 😂😂😂👍🏻
puts hairs on your chest mate.
@@TheSavageGarage 😂😂😂 You got a Twitter page ?
Generic Chinese OBD scanner. I've got the Autek ifix969. Looks identical. These things are fraught with software defects. Not sure their software team will ever get them all worked out.
К
these are $19 US now
i think stay clear its showing ford up to 2012 it very out of date this is not a professional tool this is for someone who plays around with there car on weekends or owns a older car i pretty sure you can find better out there its very basic most low end dig gear can do that now old tec.
Second
Screen too small
First
Doesn’t do toyota !
Toyota is Japanese, he went into the Europe menu.
Cars sold in eu will be in eu menu including toyota if the tool is capable! And there wasn’t an option for japanese cars!
jj jj last time I checked Japan was in Asia. So maybe the Asian option???
@@ross4164 Now now Ross 😎
Perhaps next time you should actually play around with the tool before doing a cheesy review. I watched 4 minutes and couldn't watch anymore. 4 minutes of unboxing and guessing what you are looking at doesn't make a good review.
