Having used many other brands of diagnostic tools, 'Launch' contacted me to review their latest car specific diagnostic for Mercedes, the Creader Elite V2.0.
Chapter Links:
Intro: 0:00
Functions: 2:19
Box opening: 4:25
Plug into car: 6:37
VIN finding: 8:50
Fault report 12:17
Clear codes: 15:46
Bi-directional test 18:59
OBD2 function 22:00
Final thoughts: 24:38
I put it through its paces and test what it can do comparing it to my other diagnostic tools that cost a lot more! There are some amazing functions that are advertised with this Launch and for the money it seems a great choice !
I go deep into the tools, checking out the bi-directional capabilities and even test the generic OBD2 function on my Fiat as well, I then give my overall opinion.

If you erase codes, drive the car for awhile and retest. If it checks misfires, warm the engine and erase misfires. It'll go to 0. Run the engine and check misfires. Normal is 0. 6 is worn plugs. See what the misfires have in common.

Great review. I've got the topdon 1 way and icarsoft also 1 way the launch looks good as you know there's a few processors in the sl looks like you could pinpoint a fault so easy with the 2 way system. Thanks for sharing John

The Top Don is also a great device. I would say that the Launch with the bi directional features are pretty in depth. P.s. coming up is a review I will doing on the Launch X431 Elite Pro

Great review. I bought one for my 3 SL’s even though I’m no expert. Once you get used to it and work out how to stop the initial health test running it really is very good. You mention it’s ’big brother’. Did you work out which model that is? Maybe it’s in a more recent video. Keep it up. Great stuff.

Hi There, yes Launch sent me there Pro Elite X431 which is incredible, it does every car out there and even programs keys. If you have subscribed and clicked on the bell then it will notify you of my new reviews, there is another review coming shortly on a battery tester from Launch too. In the meantime here is the Elite Pro X431 video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIO8eKmjjt5pibc

Had one of these for about a month for my 2002 R230. Sl500. Brilliant bit of kit. Sorted many many many error codes, fixed the roof error and battery error. Lots more to use it for and play with though it seems. Would recommend highly, in fact I have and know a couple of others who bought it in a merc group I mentioned it in after too.

@@GrooveOn Hi yes indeed. I have been used to autel in the past which are as they are... This was a little weird but is second nature now after quite a few uses. I have a friend at merc and I'm surprised at what this can do for this price. (the merc was also put on star by my friend and all codes cleared apparently, then I plug this is and it found quite a few left in there

It would be fantastic, if you could have a look at the variant coding and check whether the device supports changing the fuel consumption unit (e.g., from "km/l" to "l/100km"). It would also be great, if you could check whether it supports changing the phone (TEL) option between "present" and "not present". It is really great that this affordable scanner supports some variant coding on Mercedes cars, I'm just wondering whether those two options are supported.

Nice review. Was wondering how well the Creader worked. Based on what you showed, I'm not 100% sold on it, regardless of the price. I would be verry interested in seeing your review of Launch's next level up scan tool. At this point, the Autel seems to be the best choice. I know it's expensive, but more user friendly.

are you referring to when you press the seat top button to move it forward to access the back? When I press mine it tilts forward and then moves the base forward, so is your seat not tilting forward. I did get into the seat menu and there are some settings in there to test and set

@@sasa-ip7jo Oh I know what you mean... but when the auto tilt goes forward, it is pretty much touching the back no? There are settings on the Launch to move the seat manually and there are warnings of crushing, as you said you would need to do this at risk.
