Launch Creader Elite OBDII Scan Tool Review | Is it as good as Toyota Techstream? | Landcruiser 200

Thanks!

[@JafffaAdventures]

That is very kind and humbling Ron, thank you very much!

[@wyndhamprice3494]

Hi there, great informative demo of creader, I have ordered one. Your other vids are also very well done, thanks,and cheers.😊

[@JafffaAdventures]

Awesome feedback mate, thanks for sharing. Go well👍😎

[@tonygrey3340]

Hi Terry, it looks like you're really enjoying retirement based on the content you're uploading. I recently bought a new LC300, so this video caught my interest. I'm not sure if this gadget would be useful for me since I already have the Scangauge 3. However, you can never have too many toys in the shed. I really enjoy all the videos you produce, but I keep coming back to the series where the JAFFFA crew fixed up the Suzuki ute... it's a great example of Aussie mateship.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks for the kind words and the support Tony, I sincerely appreciate it. The little Suzi is still going strong and is used as a daily driver, just the way it should be. This little gismo has a lot more capability than the scangauge units. It's a reader like scanguage, but also can make modifications via the ECU. I'll drop your name in the hat for the giveaway mate. Cheers

[@dimdim3490]

@@JafffaAdventures Could you tell me if this scanner will recognize my recently purchase 2023 Prius? or 2023 models are too new to be available on this scanner. Thanks.

[@JafffaAdventures]

@dimdim3490 not sure mate, I don’t have a 2023 model. It recognised my wife’s 2021 model. Cheers👍😎

[@BandM404]

I'm an LX570 owner, but all these videos have been great to get my recently purchased 2014 brought back to tip top condition. Lets face it, its just a 200 with a big petrol and an L on it

Hey Uncle Terry, looks like a bonza bit of kit there m8. I love that it seems to do the same as TechStream but in a tiny orange package. I think I have some dodgy injectors in my 200, so one of these would be real handy;-)

[@brettfisher2241]

Nice work as always Terry, I'd use the Launch Creader for 2 200 series, had my old man call me today from lightning Ridge with the standard dash lights flashing in his 200. Talked him through the possible faults and checks he could do without a OBD2 reader (I have a scangauge to reset/read faults). He managed to get on the road with a stressed wife, and the fault cleared after the second stop and battery disconnect. He still doesn't know what caused it though so we will investigate when he gets home, would have been great if he'd taken the Launch Creader for his trip! P.S. About time we had another 40 series LS video! From a fellow 40 series tragic!

[@crispyinasia61]

Again another good and useful review Terry, and one way or another I will probably pick it up myself. I considered the Techstream, but my challange was that I would need to get a pc laptop, as I run Mac's in the house, and I also thought that the laptop would need to be reasonably good to take the knocks. This little gizmo looks pretty robust and most of all its small size will be able to easily fit and go anywhere. I will also likely share it with my brother who run's VW's (Golf's, Jetta, Toureg V10) and a Prado, so it will get extended use. All the best, Andrew PS I trust your holiday went well, or maybe you are still on it. 👍

Hey there Terry - You won't believe this. Earlier this week, I started my quest to have a look for my first OBD reader and now your video for the 'Creader' pops up in my feed.

Hi Terry, as always, great video and very informative. I've always gone back to your videos for just even refreshing the mind when doing those repetitive jobs. I've got/had Techstream but unfortunately have had cable and software issues both times and has left a bit of a bad impression on me, but this is exactly what i feel someone needed to design and release as the ease of not needing the laptop/programs to do even the simpliest of jobs like dtc's and the actual benefit of using it on other vehicles is awesome. Please keep up the great work, and I am looking forward to the release of the injector replacement video. Cheers 🤙

Great and honest review as always and looks a very useful tool to have with you on any trip. Have found TechStream is PIA to use with my Prado 150 and the delayed response adds to the frustration but has so useful with the rare codes (usually from me working on it) and adding in compensation codes for the new injectors was a bonus but not having the work laptop anymore i dont have access to techstream, such is life.

Hi mate, have been subscribed for ages, great vids on Taz lately.

Hope the Toyota mechanics use that on our 200

[@big5astra]

Hi Terry, honest review of the Launch ODBII scanner - I like that as it gives me the necessary confidence to act on the information given. I used to own a Land Rover Discovery 2 on which I did pretty much all of the maintenance and adjustments on the engine, airbag suspension and brake system - just to name a few - using a scanner dedicated to Land Rover models. But I recently sold the Landy and it made sense to give the scanner to the buyer of my Landy so he could benefit from its use. I know just how useful a good scanner is so when I bought a 2015 FJ Cruiser recently, I was on the hunt for a good scanner. And you have just convinced me of where to look! So it would be logical to get one of these - but better still to get one from you. All the best on your travels amazing!

Good stuff mate, I’m glad you find some value on the channel, that keeps me motivated. I’ll drop your name in the hat for the freebie👍😎

[@alandavey8308]

As usual Terry a very informative video especially for a semi computer orientated person who would like to use Techstream but is afraid of stuffing something up inadvertently while trying to modify a function on the 200. I, like you, are weight conscious and do some remote travel and this unit would provide an easily packed piece of mind bit of kit, especially if something arises in a remote location where external help is not available. Love your channel especially as a maintenance resource and motivation to have a go at fixing items myself.

Hey Terry, great review. I could have used that device recently when I was getting codes for a faulty egr valve. In the end I had both replaced and all good now.

I’m also very keen for your video on changing the injectors as I’m sure I’ll be following suit shortly, my biggest concern was going to be setting the compensation code for the new injectors without Techstream however this puts my mind at ease now. Only thing missing was your sweatband!

Another great video Terry I really enjoy watching not only your trips but the work you do on the 200series. I also have a similar model to yours and the technical information you provide is a great help. One thing that I really like about this video is, I got a glimpse of some of your data pids. This is very helpful, because one thing with using scan tools whether it be tech stream or anything else is trying to work if the data from the tool is normal for your particular vehicle. Diagnosis is all about data, and knowing what that data is telling you. So your review of the tool has pretty much sold me on getting one, and getting a slight glimpse at some of your running vehicle data was also a great help. Thank you and I'll look forward to the injector replacement video.

Nice review, had a Techstream with my 100 series, always found it cumbersome and was happy to pass it onto the new owner. This looks more like what I would use more easily and consequently more often. Particularly like the ability to save data. Off to the Canning next year (failed to proceed this year 😢) and really enjoyed your videos of your trip. Made my better half more confident that we could do it too. Love your work, keep it up.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks for the kind words mate, I sincerely appreciate it. You will love the Canning, and hopefully there will still be some water out there too. I'll drop your name in the hat for the freebie. Cheers!

Have followed your channel for many years. This was another informative and intelligent video. Also entertaining as usual. Would that unit work on my 2010 Prado?

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks for the support David, that is very kind mate. I have not used it on a Prado but I would think it would work on any Toyota vehicle, just like Techstream does. Cheers👍😎

[@ashleypayne4671]

Another informative video. I have a 2011 VDJ200 that’s done 400k now and it’s still running original injectors. It runs flawlessly, with good power and fuel consumption in the 12s/100km. I’m wondering if you noticed a change in how yours was running that prompted you to check the injector values or was it purely curiosity that made you look?

[@JafffaAdventures]

Cheers Ashley, I appreciate the kind words. I check the injector values every service, have done for years. I watched the injector values slowly deteriorate over time, not a sharp or drastic change over a short period. I’ll drop your name in the hat for the freebie👍😎

Yet another super informative video. You have helped us on more than one occasion and given us the confidence to do most things ourselves. It would be cracking to get an idea of how our injectors are performing on our 08 LC200 as our old Bosch OBDII scanner only does so much. Look forward to the next travel vid for more future pins for our next lap of this beaut country.

Hey Terry… very interesting video… I’ve got a my2010 defender and have been looking for options in this area so I checked out their website but couldn’t find a list of what other car brands are on offer… would love to know if Landrover is in the purchase list 👍

[@JafffaAdventures]

I don’t as on their website and Landrover was one of the options you could buy. I have not checked on the unit itself mate. Cheers👍😎

[@steveharris5097]

As usual terry a very informative video. Ive always wondered about my injector values as my 200 is getting on in age so this would be perfect as well as doing so much more. I also like the idea of being able to scan different makes as my wife has a Volvo, also getting on. Where i can see this tool being very useful is when I’m tour with mates. Pretty much all of us have Toyotas of different models so it would be handy for remote diagnosis. Keep the videos coming. Steve.

Hi Terry I have 2011 LC I love what you have done on your car, I was not sure about the head unit but after watching your videos on the head unit I bought one. My LC has 240000ks Might need injectors soon the scan gauge would be great. Keep up the great videos.

[@Alex-hc7vt]

Hi Terry, before you replace the injectors, do check the compression on 4 to ensure that is not related. I hope that is not the case for you and look forward to the injector change video.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks for that mate. I have been monitoring the injectors every service (5000km intervals) for the past 100,000km. Although it certainly could be a dying cylinder, I doubt it given my experience with these vehicles and my modification and service routine. With an odometer at 280,000km, it's time to swap all the injectors out, number for has just pushed me over the edge, LOL.

[@Alex-hc7vt]

@@JafffaAdventures I had similar and needed a rebuild. It’s worth a check. I would not want you to change injectors or open engine up to realise it’s bigger than expected. I certainly really hope you just need a injector replacement but worthwhile check of compression first (and a handy video for everyone).

[@JafffaAdventures]

Cheer mate, I appreciate it👍😎

[@mikeday9782]

Thanks for the review Terry. Looks like this is a fantastic piece of equipment, and it'll be compatible with my 76. I'll definitely be purchasing if I'm not lucky enough to win! Hope your Tas and Simpson adventures went well - passed you on the road between Mt Dare and Dalhousie. Cheers!

Thanks for the kind words mate. Reviews are not really my jam, as suppliers try and steer or influence the creative process.

[@Byaltair]

Thanks for the video Terry! Few questions, I've been in the market for a scan and monitor tool for a while, and still am trying to decide. Can this monitor EG temps too? What would be the difference between this and ScanGauge 3? Would it work with 2019 VDJ78 as it's not listed in the compatible vehicles, but neither is your 200, but still works. Cheers

[@JafffaAdventures]

I appreciate you tuning in and commenting mate. This unit can monitor EG temperatures, but only if you vehicle is fitted with a sensor that allows this. My 2010 model does not have an ECU monitored EGT sensor, so no go. I know the later model 200's do so it would work for them. I cannot see why this unit would not work on a VDJ78, but do not have direct experience. I'll drop your name in the hat for the giveaway mate. Cheers

[@Byaltair]
