Cpr123x v3 scanne
Bought to put handbrake in service mode (2010 jag xf ) does the job. Had a little play around with it seems good for what it is. Fine for a very basic entry level scanner. Clears codes seems to read live data but obviously doesn’t tell you what values should be like a high end scanner. 5 star based on it being good for the level scanner it is. Can’t comment on longevity of product as only used it a few times
Grea
This item is great value for money, the battery life on it is great. The fact that you can get updates straight from the device is great for live date and updates. It connects to my wi-fi with no trouble at all, it is compatible with my cars ECU
For the price, excellent. Very hi-tech. Like an android/ipad and similar experience. Had to pay for the extra features (e.g. dpf filter regen) through the software/app at 50 dollars for a year, which was unexpected (and falsely advertised) and disconcerting but seemed fine/legit (i.e. not a scam).
Instructions were dire. Aftercare was poor (needed because extra feature wasn’t easy/obvious to use) because the UK branch don’t support the cheaper Chinese versions, which this is. They do respond to email, but they are in China so expect significant miscommunication and lack of empathy due to distance selling.
I was expecting a bit more from this scanner for the price. It works fine and reads the main systems, but it doesn’t really do much more than a basic 5 Bluetooth OBD reader.
I ended up returning it and getting the Thinkcar 689BT instead, which offers a lot more features for slightly more with a discount code. The build quality is good though, and it’s easy to use — just not the best value in my opinion.
Supports almost any vehicles
For most Nissan cars in Japan, it doesn’t use regular OBD2. I was able to find the faults in my 2005 Nissan cubic/repair/and clear the codes. It also can connect to WiFi to show youtube video about the error codes. Wifi is a little slow, but that’s not the purpose of this machine. It also support pretty much all Japan/Europe vehicles, you just need to download the supporting software of the brand of car first which took like 2 mins. Overall I love it and I don’t need to spent over a thousand dollars on the professional o e or kept going to the car shop.
Trs bonne valise.
Fonctionne trs bien, mais si l’on veux avoir accs toute les fonctions d’une marque, il faut effectuer une mise jour payante(pas trop chre), mais cela vaut le coup.
Utilise pour un Fap citron.
It read and cleared the faults on my car which enabled me to drive it to the garage, to get it fixed. However the fault made it not economically worthwhile.
But it’s a nice bit of kit, maybe overkill for what I needed, but I liked that it updates it’s software. And it even emailed me the report. If you repair cars, you need something like this, I’d say it’s worth the price, it’s nice portable size.
Bought this to replace a scanner that I had that connected to my phone, wanting a stand alone unit that would work without an internet connection. Apart from doing the updates over the internet it will work anywhere which makes it even more useful when working where the mobile signal isn’t very good. So far it’s done everything I’ve needed it to do and without a subscription makes it very good value for money
Worth every penny!
I’m a Mobile Mechanic and am self employed. I’ve got this kit and I’m blown away with how good it is! You can do everything and go into every aspect of the vehicle!
I’m in still after 2 weeks of ownership using this kit everyday as it keeps up with the standards as the bigger brands. If you’re starting out or already in the trade this is the best diagnostic kit to have easily! I’m well blown away with it’s capabilities.
Excelle
Got to say that it’s far better than I expected for the price and it’s solved 3 issues for me on its first use. It’s probably saved me 200 in costs alone at the garage on its first use. Love it.
Works as should
After buying the item I got my spares or repairs Land Rover freelander 2 and my every day one an dine quick one on and showed same as it would in shop and tbh it is grate little thing handy and works perfac
Fast delivery and great produc
Bought for trying to find a problem that no garage could sort. Can now record codes and clear them in the hope of finding out what’s wrong. Cheaper than keep getting someone out with a code reader at 50 a time.
Fantastic produc
Fantastic product cannot fault it. Scans every onboard module that you could need it to. Connects to wifi as well so can search the codes on google and even watch youtube videos on how to fix the issues. Brilliant customer care as well, very friendly staff that are keen to take care of any issues and help where they can.
Worth every penny… I’m no mechanic but I like to try stuff before forking out garage prices!… I bought the LAUNCH CRP129E.
The dpf light came on but I didnt allow drive time to regen, Ive read driving 30 or 40 min is enough to regen the dpf and light to turn off, and to be honest this has always worked in the past.
I stupidly kept ignoring the light this time due to a hectic christmas and not giving enough time, after 3 or 4 journeys of this… limp mode along with, engine light, dpf light and flashing coil light!
I read up, force regen required at dealer or garage.
This is where the LAUNCH CRP129E came into its own… I attempted a force regen, though the soot levels in the dpf where really low anyway. After the regen I used the device and I told the ecu id replace the dpf.. I switched car off then on… hey presto… all lights gone!
Its also flagged up a power stearing issue too so I shall get this sorted in due course!
Top product!
op seller and customer service. device works great, easy to use. connects to any car. tried on Infiniti ,BMW, Mercedes,Audi…..finds errors without problems. tests each block separately in real time. There is a description of all error codes. and the ability to reset them. The product is totally worth the money I spent. highly recommend.
Amazing piece of kit.
Fantastic value for money. Very capable and lots of features, with the option to purchase extra functions if you need them. Easy to use, easy to upgrade all of the software with one touch, and free software upgrades to the latest spec for life. Highly recommend.
Me gust mucho, muy til.
Nunca he tenido un escner con todo el tipo de funciones que este tiene pero estoy maravillado con el. El uso que le dar no ser en capacidad de profesional. No soy un experto en el tema de la mecnica as que mi opinin del producto no ser tan amplia y detallada como aquella de un experto. De todos modos espero que mi aporte le pueda ayudar a toda aquella persona que est considerando comprar este excelente escner.
***PRESENTACIN y OPERACIN DEL PRODUCTO DEL PRODUCTO***
El escner viene con su cable cargador, cable que se conecta al puerto de comunicacin del vehculo y su manual de operacin. El escaner en si es una tablet que ya viene con su carcasa protectora y una mica de plstico que protege la pantalla. En caso de llegarse a caer no da la sensacin de que se vaya a daar.
El modelo que adquir cuenta solamente con el botn de encendido, puerto de carga y conector de puerto de comunicacin del vehculo. El hecho de que no tenga botones fsicos me agrada ya que minimiza la posibilidad de que se deposite polvo y grasa entre los botones que a su vez pueda llegar a daar el escaner. Es relativamente pesado pero cmodo de sostener con una sola mano.
Al iniciar el escaner se te pedir que configures tanto el lenguaje como zona horaria, contrasea de WiFi (MUY necesario para tener acceso a internet y actualizar el escner) datos del establecimiento que lo utilizar (nombre del negocio, correo electrnico etc.) para darle un toque ms personal a los reportes de diagnstico que llegues a emitir. En mi caso tuve que actualizar el escner seleccionando una cantidad de casillas que corresponden a diferentes marcas de vehculos y tambin para la funcin de deteccin automtica de vehculos. Recomiendo fuertemente descargar TODAS las actualizaciones que te pide el escner para que no te vaya a arrojar algn error al diagnosticar algn vehculo. Les comparto que en una ocasin no poda diagnosticar un Chevy Corsa y result que como no haba descargado los datos de la marca de auto Opel, no poda acceder a los datos de ese Chevy jeje. Me tom buen rato dar con el problema del porque el escner no se comunicaba con el coche, pero result haber sido eso jeje.
Una vez que hayas actualizado el escner estars en la pantalla principal desde donde podrs realizar varias funciones (todo esto se detalla en el manual de usuario) Entre ellas obviamente es realizar el diagnstico completo por medio de la deteccin automtica, realizar un escaneo normal OBDII para cuando no funcione la deteccin automtica, consulta de diagnsticos previos y la funcin de checar el voltaje de la batera de tu vehculo para verificar su estado de salud. La herramienta de deteccin automtica me funcion en coches del 2005 en adelante donde el escner jala automticamente el nmero de serie del vehculo y te arroja el diagnstico completo. En vehculos ms antiguos solo tuve que ingresar el nmero de serie y dependiendo del vehculo contestar una serie de preguntas para identificar el vehculo con mayor exactitud. Como entusiasta mecnico estoy bastante contento con el escner. He escaneado ya varios vehculos y he encontrado los datos de todos. Agrego que para los vehculos ms modernos tambin me arroja cdigos de transmisin, sistema de frenos ABS y de las bolsas de aire. Se pueden visualizar datos en tiempo real tambin as como consultar una biblioteca de cdigos ah mismo en el dispositivo. Sinceramente no s que tan til le sera a un mecnico profesional ya que carezco de conocimientos avanzados para determinar que funciones son las que necesitan y cuales salen sobrando; pero en mi caso me ha sido muy til. Estoy muy contento con la compra. Saludos y gracias por leer mi opinin.
Looks a good quality functional produc
I must stress that so far I have not used it to carry out any diagnosis on my vehicle. Haven’t needed to.
But, at this stage, my assessment. Battery life appears good. The display is very good. Clear, sharp, simple to use. The unit is well protected. I like the carrying case, which also gives protection to the display.
My view is that it is a well conceived product, and well made.
If I use it for real, I will add to this review.
I own a OBD USB interface cable which requires a computer and software – this works but the free software is difficult to find and not very reliable or feature rich. The all in one cheaper code readers only read your main ECU codes (i.e. they won’t read things like ABS and transmission codes etc. So I decided to spend a bit more and a better all in one unit, and having used this for some time now, I’m so glad I did.
This won’t be for everyone as it is a lot more expensive than a simple code reader, but it does provide a lot more. It’s an android based, touch screen unit. In general use, you plug it into the car, and it will then probably auto recognise your vehicle then auto scan it and generate a report for you. The unit stores a history of reports, so no need to try remembering what the previous code where if you fixed something then cleared them all down. As it’s android based, you can connect it to Wifi (I use home wifi and sometime my phone as a hotspot), which allows to enter an email address which emails a link to a cloud hosted report – professional enough for sending to customers for trade mechanics.
You can click a code on the unit to trigger an internet search for more details, but the unit does have pre-loaded description of most codes (i.e. for any codes found, you get the code and a brief description).
It’s super simple to use, you don’t need to study the user guide as the android mobile phone like interface is very intuititve.
The only minor negative is that scanning all the different systems takes a couple of minutes so isn’t super fast. As a home mechanic, I’m not sure if that’s just because the OBDII system takes this long to work through scanning all the different areas, or this unit itself is a little slow. However it’s definitly not painfully slow. At a guess, I suspect the time required is because this unit is able to scan all the subsystems of the car where the cheaper units only scan the main ECU codes.
Okay item
The machine is good but I’d let down by you have to buy add on and it on yearly bases. Also you need to know what you doing because the no instructions and the free give is a com. Tried to do with no joy.
Simple and easy to use petfectio
Very impressed with scanner easy to set up and use already used on my suzuki swift and it picked up codes that i knew about very gd product and well worth the money all round gd value save trips to garage and paying for diagnostic agai
A brilliant device for identifying and resetting those annoying engine warning lights that occasionally drive you nuts by popping up and remaining lit up on your car dashboard.
I had an “engine management” amber light pop up on my Mercedes C Class Cabriolet 220CDI due to me continually cold starting it on a low battery charge over lockdown. This device not only quickly identified the issue but allowed me to remove the warning notification – Something that otherwise would have required a trip (& cost) at the main dealer. Brilliant.
Simple to use. It just plugs in the OBD port under the dashboard and then scans the engine management system for any fault notifications. You then can store that information and choose whether to erase the warning on the dash. Obviously if you do that, make sure it’s safe to do so and contact your service centre to be sure everything is right on your car if it’s a serious fault / warning. Mine was was just carbon spots due to cold starting.
There are of course cheaper devices available but if you have a recent model car and want a simple and easy to use device that quickly gets the job done, I think this is probably the one to choose as it also has the facility to regularly update the software to make sure most, if not all, vehicles are covered including very recent models which many of the other devices don’t. 100% recommended
Good Purchase A*
Had a few lights on dash on my seat leon mk2, Iv got a few obd2 scanners but they failed to reveal any issues, Brought this and showed up I had two issues, Cleared the codes will see if they stay away untill I get get the sensors swapped, Email reports, Wifi, Mall to buy more programs if needed more advanced stuff, But nice option! Great bit of kit.
I have been wanting to update my OBD2 engine tool for some time because of the limited features it has with regards to vehicle systems and only being able to diagnose engine faults.
When I started to research about new scan tools it soon becomes a mine field. Most scanners are more expensive, some offer different features, others you have to pay for updates, and app based ones are great value to buy but you have to keep paying for extra resets and vehicles anually. That’s when I stumbled across the Launch CRP129E.
Not to be confused with the CRP123E which looks exactly the same but can’t do some of the extra functions that the CRP129E can.
So the CRP129E made by Launch. After receiving the scan tool I was pleasantly surprised at the nice build quality. It has an in built battery and acts like a android tablet. You setup WiFi and a few other items and your good to go with only a few clicks.
I bought this tool as a home DIY mechanic as I look after my family’s cars and a few for friends. Very simple to use with a nice interface. It’s a really nice upgrade from my old tool.
Plugging it into my first car, a Vauxhall Corsa E 2017. It initially does a health check over each of the systems. And allows access to the normal engine, ABS, SRS and Gearbox (my Corsa doesn’t display the function as it’s a manual car). You have full diagnosis of these systems, you can view sensors behaviour and outputs via voltages and graphs etc, and the option to reset. The tool even keeps a log of what’s been done, so you can look back later. The battery means you don’t have to have it connected to the power supply all the time. And you can email the reports from the device for printing etc.
Now the extra functions that this tool has are the important bit. It has free updates for life. No plugging into to PC’s and registering. It downloads directly from its WiFi connection straight into the tool. It covers a huge array of manufacturers. This tool also has the service reset functions which is above what the CRP123E can do. It allows oil light reset, throttle pedal relearn, TPMS reset, electronic parking brake reset and steering angle sensor reset. This functionality can vary on different makes depending on how each vehicle is configured.
I’m really pleased with the tool, it’s future proofed for a while and allows me to maintain more modern systems than I have been able to. I would definitely recommend.
2006 Nissan 350Z
I bought this to diagnose an airbag problem with my Nissan 350Z DE (2006) which the garage could not get the error code for, it would not auto select the VIN but it did diagnose error code B1129, which is the side module R/H open, I checked the connections under the drivers seat and reset the error using the unit and all is well, this saved me from going to a main dealer for them to diagnose costing around 100. This will be a sound investment for future problems which tend to occur on older vehicles.
CRP 123 E
Best car reader OBD.
I’ve tested the reader on a Mini Cooper, Jaguar and an Audi Q7 and done the job exactly like a professional one!!
I’ve managed to delete all the faults on all 3 cars without any issue!
I like the fact that can do the updates wifi so you don’t have to worry about plug it into a computer…
I recommend to anyone who’s looking after an obd reader !!
Thanks
Received within 3 days of placing my order. At first switch on 29 updates were needed but only took 10mins. I hooked it up to my Ford focus 1.4 zetec 2001 and it instantly gave me the problem even though there were no trouble codes showing but at least I can now get the part I need and repair. I’ve not tried it yet on another vehicle. It’s well made and comes with a carry case with the usb charge lead inside. I would definitely recommend this product. thumbs up from me
It arrived less than 24 hours from ordering, out the box you have 4 or 5 questions to answer (part of the setup), once connected to your Wi-fi it promptly went off and updated all the firmware and software on its own. Once completed I went outside and connected to my wife’s car, it was simple enough to connect it then was just as simple to scan the car. The unit then supplied the fault code and description of the fault, for me it was the front left abs sensor. So I’ve just ordered it ready to fit at the weekend. All in all very easy to use with clear instructions and use. Can’t really fault it to be honest. Ah I can actually I didn’t find the charging lead until after I had charged it in the car via the odb port. The charging lead was hidden with the manual (that I haven’t needed to read yelp) in the bag that you store the reader in.
Great diagnostics tool. When connected to the wifi it updated itself with 1 press of a button. My customers are very impressed when they receive the health report via email which shows them any faults with their vehicle. The live data is something I’ve not had before and I dont know how I’ve gone without it for so long.
A little cautious due to some of the other reviews and conflicting reports of Launch CRP 129E or 129X being best model.
In the end chose C129E
Arrived almost fully charged and once set up (very straightforward setup) device downloaded multiple software updates 9just like almost any PC or Smart Phone).
Once software updates have completed basic operational test on 2003 BMW 3 Series E46, 2009 Mini Cooper 1.6, 2010 Volvo XC60, 2014 BMW 4 series F33 and 2010 Vauxhall Corsa.
All cars connected and diagnostics worked. 2003 BM connection and operation was noticeably slower than other cars but guess this is likely due to age of car and speed of ECU rather than any fault of the reader.
Used to diagnose constant running Fan issue on BMW – coolant temperature sensor on order will update in future after part arrives.
Used to diagnose Seatbelt Retention/Airbag warning light on Volvo XC60 – after resolving issue used this device to reset error code and retest. Issue resolved and Volvo remains error free (so far).
Suspect this device has already paid for itself in saved Garage costs so very pleased with Purchase.
Only issue noticed so far is diagnostic pages sometimes links to Google Pages that no longer exist – perhaps development team could recheck web links and provide updates – other than that no issue even with a 2003 BMW that is prior to date (2006 Onwards) stated by Manufacturer. It did say automatic VIN Number function not supported on 2003 BMW but when you enter diagnostics it had actually captured correct VIN Number – so perhaps it has an alternative method for older vehicles. No guarantee this will work with other older cars but worked on BMW E46. Covers all Five of our family cars
As a vehicle tech I found myself getting fed up having to walk to the office to grab the work diagnostic boxes to check and clear codes, this one now lives in my tool box, it’s quick reliable and simple to use, it won’t do programming so be aware of that but for every day code scans and clears on engine, ABS, Airbags and transmission it’s more than sufficient, there is also basic live readings with graphing display too, you can also prepare trouble reports and print them off to attach to the customers paperwork if you so choose, it can print wirelessly via the share function. I am impressed with it’s capabilities and presentation for the price.
