[@edagroup]

[@smithtom6878]

United Kingdom car owners can get official LAUNCH Creader VIII from www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253759505716

[@Adr_Jim]

This is a good base/ simple scanner with a few useful features other then just read and clear codes.. but it's NOT a complete scanner like what you would find in most big shops. BTW just change the seatbelt buckle.

[@DirtydogMech]

yes i borrowed it from a friend . it was the only one i was able to read the code with . pretty good scanner for the price isntead of the thousands it would cost for a more spohsicated one that big repair shops use Yeah i had the seat belt replaced

[@only1hollywoodjacko]

I have one myself and for the price it beats the ones you can buy at the parts store!

[@DirtydogMech]

+south park i hope to get one in the future

[@dan98275]

Will this tell me about my exhaust system performance, Sensors/Converters on my 06 Expedition? And what is the difference with this and the Ceader VII+?

[@kingbolen_official]

VIII can do Oil EPB reset and VII+ can not

[@maruqueldelgado5077]

hello how do l recover, l deleted everything from the scanner and nothing appears is formatted

[@DirtydogMech]

Im not to sure You may have reupload the program from they're website

[@sr8shoota]

I have this tool but when I try to read SRS or ABS codes from my 2005 Suzuki Aerio sx4 it says "The fault code is not found in the database". So I tried updating with the update tool, it updated suzuki vehicles to 11.81 but when I try to read codes after the update I select the airbag and then the tool freezes. Same happens when I try to read any other info such as engine data. Is there a fix for this?

[@Adr_Jim]

joel castro because it's a cheap scanner lol, it should be fixable by updating it maybe in a new update soon if not just contact the company

[@nsoper19]

Vauxhall isn't Australian, its an English brand owned by a French company. In Australia they have holden which is owned by gm who used to also own Vauxhall.

[@iwd1705]

Vauxhall belongs to Opel which now belongs to Peugeot. Holden still belongs to GM, but as far as I know there is no car construction in Australia anymore. The brand still exists but there seems to be an unclear future.

[@kevinbeck9459]

It was originally owned GMC

[@timgraham2858]

Hi, does this work with Lincoln also?

[@sterlynali6679]

hi sir thanks for sharing your knowledge with us ,I do have a question would this scanner be able to do a idle air volume control on a Nissan . thanks

[@DirtydogMech]

Sterlyn Ali I asked a friend. He believes that only a Nissan computer or a Snap On MODIS computer would be able capable to check it out

[@Adr_Jim]

Sterlyn Ali No it won't bro, this scanner is only for reading/ clearing codes , will also retract rear electric pistons to perform rear brake pad job and will also set electrical power steering to 0° for alignment jobs.

[@mechanicandskills7215]

how do you know what your looking at is normal there is so many numbers ?

[@DirtydogMech]

which part specifically?

[@rushadewright3772]

can this scanner reset and program ECU on asian cars?

[@Adr_Jim]

Rushade Wright What?! lol hell no you need a much more expensive scanner/pass thru for that bro

[@youngmollabre]

I believe it does I have the mobile version of it and it does.

[@kingbolen_official]

This scan tool can not program ECU,X431 V/diagun /pro mini can do that.

[@la-ia1404]

Just spray silicon lubricant in the seat belt connector and it should fix it.

[@ma.a4700]

There is no option for Daihatsu cars.

[@rufusrunsgsp4610]

Has anyone called Launch for support? I'm told they only do certain models. They do not support the VII+ . Otherwise, china's support is basically nonexistent.

[@Ottonic6]

Of course it would be manual... It's a manual transmission

[@mechanicandskills7215]

[@DirtydogMech]

they are just parameters or ranges of ratio/percentages/and voltages sensors are reading. Each vehicle has it own specified range they should be at.

[@robertweir9034]

I'm sorry but I have to justify my thumbs down. First of all, you failed at reviewing this diagnostic tool. Your name is DirtyDogMech I think which may imply your a mechanic if some sort. You really should learn the fundamentals of a car before showing what you can't do. I believe what this scanner was attempting to tell you was you have an SRS or airbag system problem and you were looking for a way to just clear the light on the dashboard. Now you borrow a tool which you know nothing about and attempt to do it. The tool indicated to you that you have a problem with your seatbelt which you think is correct cause you can't seem to get it to lock in. That's not your problem. If you noticed, but you didn't, the seatbelt light stayed on even after you buckled it. Probably the contact switch within the seatbelt is bad. Then you reset the light. This is where I stop the video. The SRS light will come back on but what really gets me is you know nothing about this system nor the scan tool your using. Wasting time for anyone to learn anything of what you are doing or attempting to demonstrate. Only good technicians use these kind of tools. Not someone who hopes to. This is constructive criticism, don't whine about it.

[@Hellondais]

The seat belt is part of the restraint system which includes the airbags. Faults in the restraint system should result in a restraint system trouble light.
