Upgrade Your Honda/Acura Diagnostics, 2024 Launch: Creader Elite V2.0 OBD2 scanner

[@MrSamPhoenix]

Bought one of these about 7 months ago… it’s been amazing. I have the 1.0 version, the 2.0 version doesn’t seem to have a larger screen. I’d love to see something like the ability to lock these things like a smartphone. And to have FindMy integration if I forget it somewhere.

[@dannysdiygarage]

The big difference between the two is the speed and I find it’s easier to read and navigate as far a the software it the same.

Danny your videos are top tier and always helpful. I’ll check this new gadget out.

[@dannysdiygarage]

It’s at a good price point and does quite a bit, it’s also easy to navigate

[@narayansinghrajpurohit1630]

Thank you very much Sir! your all videos are very helpful and I learn a lot from these video to do things myself. I have 2 Civics & Accord. Kindly appreciate it!

Dany ? Can the Launch scanner read the odometer?

[@HypeBosco]

Would this scanner work to program an oem key to the immobilizer? I just bought a 2011 honda crv and they only gave me one key and i want to buy an oem key and get it cut and program it myself

Hi Danny I’ve subscribed and liked several of your videos on the civic, I have an ac problem that I just cannot figure out, all pressures check out perfectly and also all new parts installed, no codes using the onboard code system, I’m wondering if this scan tool can tell me if my condenser fan is working correctly on lo and hi speed and will it read the evaporator temp sensor, I have used the ohm meter and it is completing the circuit with reading of 7 ohms. Thoughts and suggestions please help this would greatly be appreciated. Keep the videos coming thanks for your clear and concise reviews.

I got the Toyota version. Great scanner.

[@dannysdiygarage]

@@ElectroAtletico I think so also, for the price point it’s awesome

Hi Danny, how does this compare to the foxwell scanners? I have a 2012 CRV I planned on cleaning the throttle body but afraid to mess up the idle and I currently do not have a bidirectional scanner to do a relearn. Thanks for your help!

[@dannysdiygarage]

Not sure how it compares to other Foxwell, sorry

[@DoubleStar92]

Does it feature mileage correction- new engine possibly going in.

[@dannysdiygarage]

@@DoubleStar92 are you asking if it can change the odometer mileage reading, if so no

Its a regular scan tool. The only thing different about this one is they charge you for each brand individually. The lists that he said was the data stream, isn't the data stream. The data stream is live OBD2 information that contains all relative powertrain data when the key is on, or the car is running. All scan tools have this feature, even the cheap ones. The lists in the video are called parameter identifiers. Any good entry to mid level scan tool is able to read them. A scan tool can't tell you what's wrong with your car. Whatever information it gives you is a starting point. Your real diag begins when you put the scan tool down.

[@dannysdiygarage]

Great information, a scan tool is usually my 1st step when diagnosing an engine light or drivability problems, and actually anything else.

[@schifoso]

You can do that with the first version. What the first version lacks is a good interface. For example, it can only select up to 200 data PIDs, so if there's 210 for the vehicle then you choose "auto select all PIDs" it fails. Also, you can't scroll through PIDs to select the ones you want as it annoyingly pages the display of the PIDs. And Launch has terrible support.

[@dannysdiygarage]

Good to know,thanks for sharing. I’ve never needed scan tool support.

[@kayjay4060]

I spent about a week going back and forth with Launch trying to figure out what the meaning of each of the pids means. I mean the abbreviations, and such. They gave me wrong data, but at least they tried. I eventually made a list, and sent it to them. We debated about it a little, and eventually I went on my own to figure it all out.

[@schifoso]

Can you supply the contact information - phone number or email address? Thanks.
