I have this. A great device but I just wanted a bigger display and possibly more functions too. Some of the text were lost in some menus. So I have ordered the Launch CRP919E. It supports all brands and have a display with 60% more resolution and almost 4 times the display area. And a battery too of course. All for just a little more $

[@964tractorboy]

Good review. The Actuation menu looks very useful, particularly for things like the radiator shutter that are not easy to check for correct operation. Very handy. Probably discover some hidden features along the way too...

[@sdgelectronics]

Bidirectional controls are very vehicle dependent. On my other car, you can control almost everything, even individual exterior lights

[@ronpersaud529]

Your diagnostic tool is probably the most important kit

[@waynetaylor2784]

Nice but I bought the thinkscan max 2 obd after your review so far it's been excellent

[@sdgelectronics]

The Max 2 is definitely more versatile, so a good tool to have. Glad it's working for you.

[@plescapetru5004]

can the throttle actuator be activated with this tester?

[@testIsuru]

HI mate , this is a grate video . thanks for the content . i have noticed that this tool can be used for Key programing as well . do you have any idea how ?

[@sdgelectronics]

You need the add-on module. It connects by bluetooth and can RF program keys

[@openureyes]

Great information great voice /video

[@user-cw7pm4vc1x]

Ali Express has it cheaper. On mall, you can add cars and services.

[@andymouse]

It seems like you get a lot for your money, which is great...cheers.

How do you register a bmw battery with this

[@cme2nite123]

No one has shown how to code your injectors…. Can you plz help

[@davybloggs1564]

Great video, thanks for posting, although, at 16:30, for the OBDII protocols, you only show it for a few seconds, and the ones we see are all 'Failed', yet you make no mention of this, what appears to be, a serious failure of the device. My version, which has a 'Landscape' screen orientation, although still called the same thing, fails at every one of these! Anyt ideas as to why it would fail all?

[@sdgelectronics]

The "Failed" is normal. The reader tries each protocol until it gets a response from the ECU that indicates the protocol matches

[@sdgelectronics]

If it fails all of them, then it wasn't able to communicate with the ECU and either the ECU is dead, there's a wiring fault, an issue with the connector or an issue with the reader

[@markwins22]

hi do you need an internet conection to use in the car i know yu need internet to update but just to use in the car Thanks

[@krellft]

No you don't ... internet only required for updating the software ...

[@andisilalahi792]

can thise tool relearn valvetronic limit?

[@sdgelectronics]

Yes, but there is a new version of this tool for 2024 which I will review this week

[@allansmith7240]

Dose it do elv x cas

[@JamesBond-hy4kv]

Will show wheel speed sensor values when driving?

[@user-cw7pm4vc1x]

It's on live test and graphing test.

[@lawrenceburls4673]

Hi, will it find a faulty parking sensor

[@sdgelectronics]

It can talk with the Parking Distance Module on this vehicle, but you may want to post a question on the Amazon page to confirm your car

[@meguinness1116]

Can it show Live data from sensors like a camshaft sensor? Ta

[@user-cw7pm4vc1x]

On graphing, it can show about can and crank sensor

HOW DO YOU DO A PROPER REVIEW WITHOUT GOING THROUGH EACH FUNCTION???

[@lawrencebillson6224]

I’m getting tired of subscription services encroaching on everything- now it’s tools 😢

[@steveperryman8102]

It's only upgrade and update functions. If the tool works for you today and your car remains the same then it's good for life. No more updates doesn't make windows 7 unusable ...

[@davidpiper2052]

👍

[@charlesharriganASMF]

it's not really misleading as far as the fees are for coding because shops have to pay for the same abilities.

[@davidpiper2052]

[@jen318]

Hints to help you what is this a guessing game 😂

[@christheander371]

Stay away from this product

[@morpheus3190]

Why?

[@marknoir]

Bought it about 6 months ago, and really wanted to like it. But it’s useless when it comes to some serious “special functions”. On my 2004 in 99% of cases VANOS for example never shows up at all. Sometimes it does, but the figures it gave me were so off, that according to them my car shouldn’t have been running at all. Slow, anti-intuitive, not a serious tool. Waste of money.

[@larryjohnson8168]

Maybe it’s not compatible with your car

[@marknoir]

They didn’t specify that it wasn’t compatible. It kinda worked and then didn’t and then it did again and then it didn’t, and I just gave up on it. Wasted money.

[@larryjohnson8168]

@@marknoir what car was it for?

[@marknoir]

BMW E46 M3, 2004.

[@larryjohnson8168]

@@marknoir i just talked to a seller for it they said it wasn’t compatible for a 97 540i so, it’s supposed to be for bmw they’re made in china 🇨🇳 so kinda sketchy
