I have a similar launch tool to this and it saved me this morning when I got the '4a63 DDE: EWS Tampering' code, the car cranked over and over but wouldn't start. Figured out it could re-match the modules and the car fired right up. It does offline coding but gets all its power from OBD2 unlike this one which has its own power and charges up from the port. Compared to the price of a lot of other scan tools I cannot knock it! I would recommend it. Good review Dean👍

Great video. What tool would you recommend that can do all including programming like fuel pump modules etc.. That would be at a reasonable price point.

Did you find a good tool that will code and program the fuel pump module along with the battery coding and registration? I'm looking for one also. Please help

[@SholaBaby]

Thank you for the review. Pretty cool indeed. I have the LAUNCH 919X which I bought a little more than a year ago (August 2022). I find it quite useful and cool but my only problem with it so far is its inability to at least support the capacity of most AGM batteries available within the increment of 10 probably from 60Ah to 130Ah. My old battery was 90Ah that died recently and I replaced with a 100Ah capacity and then I found it difficult to register the exact capacity into the DME so the alternator could charge appropriately according to the rated capacity. Now all that LAUNCH 919X have available for AGMs are 70Ah, 90Ah and 105Ah. No 80Ah and no 100Ah, etc. I spoke with its customer service rep and he said he would have to advise his technical department to include more choices in the next software update. I hope they do. 😀

[@3090me]

Tap on the capacity amount shown and you can then enter it manually. Click back button when done.

[@dwilliams6346]

I just bought that model for my Astra and waiting for it to be delivered. £319, Half the price of the others. She's an old girl but still super reliable. I just rebuilt it for a new lease of life as a project and need loads of stuff relearning. Vauxhalls wanted near enough 3/4 of what the scanner tool is worth for just 4 relearns so I bit the bullet. My nephew and his Dad just bought BMW's so they'll be pleased I got this to look around and/or fine tune their cars. I'll charge them £20 a go for the privilege 😝

Nathan I have a question for you about this tool. I have this exact tool as well I have a 2003 BMW M5 and yet it will not erase the codes that I’m getting for the lights on he car. Why is this and what do I have to do to be able to reset these codes? As well I also ordered today from the UK THE SCAN TOOL THAT YOU SAID WAS THE BEST ONE FOR A BMW. I really need to know the reason behind this as well as what I need to do for this scan tool to reset the light codes as well as any and all other codes that I’m getting on this car. As well this machine reset the codes on my nei😮van and then they returned so why is this? It’s a Chrysler minivan but why did the codes return as well I also tried resetting the codes on the E39 that I bought recently and yet it will not reset the codes so why is this? Am I not doing something right or what. Please let me know because I love this M5 that I bought recently and I want to keep it for the long term so help me with this Dean. Thanks alot

Have you lost the ability to program tire pressure sensor id numbers into your vehicle computer with your scan tool? The one I bought allowed me to program in the id codes for 2 of my new tire pressure sensors on a 06 dodge grand caravan, but I didn't do all 4 at one time. After I finally changed the other tires, the reader wouldn't connect to the van any longer so I updated the software on the scanner. Now, it will no longer allow me to do anything but see the id numbers. Even then, I have to fight through various menus to get to that point.

[@spike8298]

I want to reset the fuel additive sensor on my 2009 Volvo V70 1.6D with 109 horsepower, which is showing the P1932 error code. Despite filling up and replacing the additive tank, the car still indicates a low level of the DPF additive used for exhaust cleaning. I'm considering purchasing the LAUNCH CRP919X and would like to know if it has the capability to reset the fuel additive sensor in my car, since it's incorrectly showing a low level despite being filled. Can the LAUNCH CRP919X perform this sensor reset for my specific vehicle model?

[@fivalxerex6437]

I'm no expert, but I read/heard all electronic devices containing a lithium battery should be shipped with the battery discharged so there is no RISK of fire between the time the device leaves the factory until it reaches the consumer. I remember watching some youtube video about cargo ships disasters, and how a fire started from a charged lithium battery. In reviewing a product there should not be an issue if you need to wait for the battery to charge (6:06). Dealing with a fire is certainly more troublesome than you waiting 2 hours to have the battery charged. Otherwise it sounds ... unreasonable (?) . Then the accent on the icon for battery charging ... if it's that important for you ... (11:00). I've seen scan tools with greater functionality. Some have Android OS. This one seems to be just one application. Then you never used to right keys. It looks like they are not needed since you used exclusively the touch screen function. There was no direct comparison to another scanner of similar price. It seems to do what you need it to do, but in no way it seems to be superior to other well established brands.

[@cavemanlifecavemanlife7649]

Can it reset the transmission after you change the solenoids?

Can this delete and reset the BMW DPF codes that appears at approximately 250,000km/155,000 miles which BMW suggests is the EOL, but normally is far from that. Does it also show the amount of ash? Note, I don't talk about regeneration of the DPF. I think it's fine for the E series, but how about the F series (F25/X3). Or is ISTA+ the "only" alternative?

[@leiflillandt1488]

relax, no need to worry. scan-tool with or without battery will work. on OBD plug the scan-tool gets all the power it needs. this man is just giving you his opinion.. so the battery garbage information is just that garbage. a tiny batter or a large battery means nothing . . . all the power it needs is supplied by the OBD plug

D1 pro is the best

[@vincekara9446]

The issues with these 'affordable' bi-directional scanners, is that once the subscription has expired, it becomes just a scan tool for DTC... clearing codes and lose the active test functions unless you 'pay' a fee. Although it's cheap at start, but it ends up costing as much as a scan tool that 'keeps' the active test functions, less coding (like Autel) even if the subscription has expired.

[@fultz.c92]

My autel mk808 doesn't lose any function I have 2 of them one hasn't been updated in Lil over year still does exact same thing as my updated one minus few new added on features also my ancel fx9000 has no issues been out of date.

[@crispa1861]

As per the 2 comments below that debunks your claim of it being just a DTC scanner after the updates expire, pls don't claim it if you haven't actually experienced it. Thx

[@ccbanger1414]

[@reggaeriderr]

Are the updates free or they cost

[@BMWDoctor]

They are free for 2 years

[@torqenv812]

You cannot say that $400 is an affordable price when the subscription renewal costs $545 every 2 years.

[@darknature79]

That's just for updates and newer vehicles,I've been using the same one from 2015 and it's still does alot. Get one and you'll be fine for 10+ years unless car technology just goes in a entire different route beyond OBD2.And if you don't keep the sub it'll still do everything it did on the last day of the free subscription and update

[@darknature79]

And you don't have to buy a subscription after the 2 years for certain new function,you can buy individual updates according to your needs.

[@SholaBaby]

@@mattdigong5654 Quite true. I bought my 919X on August 16, 2022 a few weeks after 919E was introduced. Basically they are both the same. May be different by one or two features, but the guy I bought it from said they are pretty much the same.

Anyone know if it does Ford stuff? Or do you need a subscription?

[@germancarfan]

Currently £468 on Amazon, plus yearly update fee after 2 years

[@BMWDoctor]

10% discount code isn’t applied so therefore the price is incorrect with the 10% code it will be much cheaper. Also to add, it has 2 years free updates when purchased so no need to buy yearly updates for 2 years. After 2 years if you use this properly you can make your money back easy or it will save you more then that going to a garage for diagnostics and coding.

[@SholaBaby]

@@BMWDoctor I think they are still in business. I just got a response from their sales rep. after contacting them from watching your review. The problem is it is quite expensive as it 2-in-1 scanner, 12V and 24V . She refused to give it any less than US$1590 and they don't make any of it as 12V alone. I just need a superb scanner purposely for my 2009 BMW X5 E70 N52 vehicle that will enable me to do coding and programming. Service centers here in Bahrain just rip folks off especially on BMW series when it comes to all these electronic modules fault finding and resetting. I just spent an equivalent of US$380 to fix a new CAS module a few weeks, coding and programming and labor charge. 😀

[@Daivaraspaul]

I don’t think so this is good function of charging while is plug in in car drains car battery whats the point of charging function if this tool cannot programing it’s just drains battery 😅

[@SholaBaby]

You have to use something like a CTEK CS ONE or any other brand voltage stabilizer that can keep you battery powered on to a constant 14V power supply otherwise you risk bricking you modules. Simple as that.
