LAUNCHScanner CRP129X V2.0 (Upgrade of CRP123X/CRP129X), 12 Reset Scan Tool,Lifetime Free Update,FCA SGW Car Scanner,ABS SRS Transmission,Check Engine Code Reader,AutoVIN,Battery Test, 5 Years Backup

The media could not be loaded. I own the previous model CRP129 and this new CRP129X is leaps and bounds better than the last version. For one, it comes with a nice case unlike the last model. The touchscreen works very nice and is very intuitive. The last model could do a lot but it was not a touch screen and the interface was very lacking. It is really nice having internet capability to look up any code that comes up and to download latest updates. The health report is a good summary of all the issues with any of the systems. The capability of this model is the best that I have owned.

Besides the fact it has a large, very visible screen for easy reading, the Launch 129x also gives you the choice of using the touchscreen, or manually finding your way through the menus using the push button controls. The rubberized, soft padded casing is rugged enough to withstand potential damage. Starting the unit for the very first time does require a few minutes entering information, connecting to WIFI, and completing the updates, but well worth the wait. During the updates I familiarized myself with the unit reading the easy to understand user's manual, and quick start guide. The first time I connected it to my vehicle, the unit pretty much did everything by itself. Found my VIN, then did a complete professional report of many systems and sensors. Using the "ODB II" and "I/M" options in the menu, I was actually able to see more than 200 different sensors, and modules (varies depending on the vehicle), check the values, AND see some of the functions in graph mode as the car was running. For possible problems, Launch has built in one nice feature that can record a specific graph of a running engine i.e. misfire, or a sensor as it is malfunctioning. Also, you have the ability to make, and save a screenshot of a malfunction code, or graph. The Email function is very convenient in that the unit sends an "Inspection Report" internet link to your, or the customer, Email account. There you can access, save, and print this report. When you're finished, everything can be packed in the carry case, and put away for the next time. All-in-all, the Launch 129x is well worth the money, and will keep me from paying outrageous costs to repair centers. It would be nice if the unit would generate a PDF file of the report and sent per Email. Maybe in future firmware. I hope this will answer most of the questions others might have, because I would highly recommend this unit to anyone I know.

So far I've used this scanner on a 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 as well as a 2014 SRS Toyota tundra both of which worked well read the codes I needed gave me the information I needed The system seems well and I would recommend it. The reason for one star being off is because I believe they sold me a used device as when it came the wires were not wrapped correctly the box was not sealed or taped and there was no film on the digital screen etc so obviously this unit had been sold and recycled back in so I hate paying full price for use products that is the reason for the one star off.

I give this unit five stars because it is well made and was very easy to set up. (You have to down load and update all the vehicle versions. It took 25 minutes or so.) I scanned a 2002 Ford F250 no codes tripped. I also have a 2022 Honda Ridgeline I need to scan, just haven’t had time to do it. I am confident it will do well. Oh it has a touch screen and it is a good size screen. Very easy to use and has the ability to clear 12 codes… only time will tell how it will hold up, but it looks rugged enough for a long life. Good buy for under $500.

As soon as the warning light on dash came on, I went to the parts store. The guy charged me $99 for diagnosis and helped turn the light off, so I thought he had fixed all the issues. However, 3 days later, the warning light was back on. Instead of spending $99 again, I bought this diagnostic tool even though I had no idea about vehicle repair. I inserted it in my car’s obd port, it worked flawlessly. It can not only tell me the diagnostic trouble code but also show some available tips for facilitating the repair. It turned out that the warning light alerted me to replace the broken O2 Sensor. I took my car to another repair center and showed them the diagnostic information, they said that that parts store just cleared the diagnostic trouble codes, but they didn’t replace the bad O2 sensor for me. As a result, the problem had not been solved, and the check engine light would repeatedly turn on. That parts store made me angry, but I felt lucky to buy this diagnostic tool. It is equipped with comprehensive diagnostic functions such as advanced SAS, EPB, TPMS OIL RESET. When my car goes wrong again, I am able to detect the problem on my own rather than blindly rely on the “mechanic”! Would definitely recommend this product for every car owner.
