Launch X431 CRP919E Review Best BiDirectional For The Money
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 бер 2023
- I review the LAUNCH X431 CRP919E OBDII bidirectional scan tool that was recently released to compete directly with the XTOOL D7, and the AUTEL 808 series of automotive scanners. This tool features bidirectional control consisting of resets, actuation tests and special functions. I tested the tool on a Honda Civic and was impressed with the actuation tests I could perform. The Launch X431 CRP919E easily activated the radiator fan, windshield wipers, signals, door locks, and more just to name a few. You can view all live data PIDS from all modules in the vehicle in either text form, or graph form. The CRP919E is compatible with the newer protocols of CAN FD and DoIP. The CRP 919E reminds me of Snap-on scanners with its red body and black trim and buttons. The mechanical buttons are really nice for when your fingers wet/greasy and the screen won't respond. It also has an "automatically connect" feature that can be turned off in the settings. This features makes the tool automatically auto-vin the vehicle and intimately start a full system scan which checks all the modules. It is currently on sale at Amazon.

you re one of the few channels that actually reviews functionality, rest are just pos hidden promotion . you deserve way more subs
Thank !! I really appreciate that. I try my best, and if its not good, well I'll say its not good. Thank you !!
Awesome video as usual
Thanks so much brother, really appreciate the comment !! Happy Saturday to you :)
That's sick man I just bought mine ❤
Its a great scanner !!! You will love it.
Just ran across your video. Very nice! I was trying to figure out getting this one or the launch x431
Mostly like the bidirectional controls. And live data. Also like that you can check all data with it as well.
Appreciate the comment, thank you
Nicely Done
Thank you! Cheers!
I love this reader it can do ecu coding
Yes it will do ECU coding, see the Amazon description amzn.to/3Jpuo2L I love this thing, it does so much for the price. If you want to enquire about a specific vehicle @kingbolenautoscannercenter is really good at replying.
The power balance function for Fords is excellent. It’s very similar to the factory Ford scan tool. The graphing makes it easy to find intermittent misfires when the check engine light won’t set. I’m not sure if it does the same for other makes?
Hey Thanks for the comment, I haven't tried it on a Ford yet so thanks for sharing that. I have used it on mainly Japanese cars and didn't need the power balance feature so I'm not sure how well it works on the Japanese. When you need it, it is an excellent often overlooked feature :)
I recently bought this and overall it's a nice upgrade over my Autel DiagLink. However, the one thing I didn't know prior to purchasing and it's quite important is that you can't monitor data pids and perform a bi-directional test both at the same time. So for example, if you want to see how the O2 sensors react while you turn on the evap purge valve...you can't do that. You can go into actuations and turn on the evap purge valve but you can't see the real-time o2 data stream.
Good to know, but I think that's how all scanners are? Except maybe the ones that run thousands.
Thanks for the review. Does this LAUNCH X431 CRP919E can calibrate Mercedes Airmatic Suspension ?
Hey There, I'm not sure as what it can do varies between vehicles. I would need a Mercedes to see if can. (the tests pop up once you are connected to the vehicle so its impossible to check without the vehicle) You could reach out to Kingbolen Auto Scanner Center, they are a big supplier of launch and they may know. They have a UA-cam channel and you can tag them @kingbolen_official
Thanks
I was looking for a easy to use, touch screen with buttons as options, actuator testing, and affordable scanner! I am definitely saving this in my wish list and buying it as soon as I can!
Edit: wait… you have to pay for updates too?
It comes with 2 years free updates, so that is pretty good. The cheaper scanners (some of them) can have lifetime updates, but as you get into the better scanners they don't update forever. Remember the scanner will work without updates its just limited to the last update. We are 2023 so the scanner would be good scanning vehicle up to model year 2025. I love this scanner, used it on an Audi the other day.
Nice review! Does this tool support Chevrolet Volt 2016-2019?
I don't see why not. This one is good, I use it for quite a bit. I haven't had a Volt to try it on, but I think it would work. The only thing is the active (bi-directional) tests vary between cars. You could always reach out to @kingbolenautoscannercenter they are really good and sell them, they are a major distributer.
Thanks for the video. Does the scanner allow you to code in a new module such as an a new ABS pump control Module to callibrate it. I installed and need to code it. Looking for a Launch device with this feature. Thanks
I'm not sure about that. I find the coding for each manufacturer, along with the bi-directional capabilities varies, so I really can't say. You could reach out to Kingbolen, they are a huge distributor and are good with getting back to questions like that. If they don't know then you cold try Launch.
Hello my friend
Excellent quality and well done content.
A most interesting video that I really appreciate! 😊 👍
You have as always all my support for your great

Thank you !!!
When you have over 100 PIDs it would be nice if they implemented a search feature.
They do have the feature that you can pick which PIDs you want, I may have gone over that part pretty quick. This one has a bunch of stuff, but it will vary car to car as each car will release different data. Thanks for the comment :)
I've been looking at countless videos about the launch crp919x, and this is possibly the best I've come across so far. It's definitely the best at highlighting the bidirectional capabilities!
I was just wondering if you think the Bluetooth version is worth the money, or if the Bluetooth connection stability is anything to worry about?
Thanks for the video!
Thank you for the vote of confidence !! I do like the Bluetooth as you can move the scanner everywhere, but some of the connections are not the greatest, and then certain functions won't work. With wired you have no problem, but with bluetooth you have to make sure you get an expensive unit. FYI - I have a bluetooth unit ($500 range) and I find I use the corded one more if that's any indication. I use the crp919x the most out of all the scanners I have tested.
@@GarageKing thanks for the quick reply! I suspected that connectivity would be a noticeable difference, but I didn't even think about a change in capabilities. Thanks again!
@@Falcon500xw Anytime !!
"Will this LAUNCH X431 CRP919E do a active test to demand max fuel pressure on the cp3 injection pump to test?for a 2005 gmc sierra 2500hd with a 6.6L duramax?if not do you know what bidirectional scanner will? thank you
Good question and I'm not sure, the problem is I can't even tell you because I would need your vehicle to plug in to check. Once you connect to the vehicle you can get into the menus and the menus change depending which vehicle. You could always check with Kingbolen, they are a major seller and distributer and are pretty good with answering, they also have a UA-cam channel @kingbolen_official
Very good video. Can you tell me if there’s any difference between 919E and 919X?
Hey there, I think the 919E was just the newer version, it supports two more languages, but any differences would be very minimal if any. They both use the same operating software.
@@GarageKing Appreciate your reply, man. Thanks
@@Yasiology Anytime
So Im new to these scanning tools. When you have a check engine light and you have a scanner hooked up to read what codes its throwing where do you go to find out what that code is. Does the scan tool actually tell you what the code is. If not then do you have to google the code. Just wandering where you get this info at
Hey there, the scanner will tell you what the code number, and what the code means. The scanner will also open its own browser and search for the code problems on the internet. I did another review of the X431 Pro Elite and its a step up from this one, but its a few hundred more.
In the professional shop environment we use autel, but that's definitely a good diy scanner.
Thanks for the comment, for its cost I do think its a great value and for the DIY'er it gets a lot done.
Can i add to my factory screen the setting for back up camera?
Hey There, that I'm not sure. It might. I do find it varies between vehicles where for some you get a certain function and some you don't. I guess it depends if you vehicle offers it.
Launch X321 CR919E might be over kill but I'm looking for a scan tool that would pull up actual mileage from BCM/Dash,Engine and ABS, not just from Dash. Would this one fit the bill? I'm driving a 2019 Jeep Wrangler. My first thought was to go with a THINKSCAN Plus S5 or S7.
The CR919E is a Bi-Directional scanner, it does a lot, and its these scanners that save a TON of time when you are diagnosing. For example, if you car is over heating you can command the cooling fan relay on and off, a very easy and quick way to start your checks. Thats just an example of the many things. The THINKSCAN S5 and S7 are just readers with a few reset functions, and to be honest the Xtool IP608 is only about 40 more and it will do way more. Its not a CRP919E, but it will do quite a bit. To answer your question about the mileage, most scanners will pull the mileage from the BCM, as that feeds the dash. If you are just looking to read things with a few resets the S7 will do, but for about 40 more, as I mentioned earlier the IP608 is just way more ahead. Then there is a gap where you pretty much have to double your money to start getting into true bi-directional scanners, and they can keep going well over $1000 depending on how advanced you want to go.
Hola, compré este launch, pero no entiendo porque no puedo acceder al codigo de programacion del inmovilizador
Hola, asegúrese de completar todas las actualizaciones. muchas veces cuando compras la herramienta no esta actualizada. Tienes que ir a wifi y actualizar. Si eso no funciona, puede comunicarse con Launch
2006 PONTIAC TORRENT sorry caps lol any for this thanks good vid
Thank you for the great comment and much appreciated !!!
What will happen if my 2 years free update end will it keep work? or it will work but without Some of the features
It will keep working, it just won't update. You will have all the features, you just wont be able to add newer cars. Right now we are in 2023 so in 2025 it would stop updating so if you had a 2026 car or newer it may not work depending on what you are scanning. Most vehicles are under warranty for a few years so the scanner will be good for quite a while. Just FYI - I bought a launch CRP429 and did a video on it years ago ua-cam.com/video/HzPWF48tnx4/v-deo.html , it still worked great after the updates stopped. I just felt it was time to upgrade to a better scanner. Right now there is a limited time deal, its cheaper than what I paid !!! amzn.to/3Kk6Mh5
interesting video thank you for sharing 🛎💖👍👍 lik.e 14
Thank you
You say you use it on your Japanese cars…do you have any Subarus? Specifically I need it to close the vent valve solenoid on the evap system so I can do a smoke test on a 2010 Forester…do you know if it would do that?
I haven't tried it on a Subaru, but I think it would work as the evap test is a pretty universal test. Things like static compression tests really vary depending on the vehicle.
Do you have to be connected to the internet to use it? Does it list what the common causes are that triggered a code like other scan tools do to help you find the solution? Can it monitor or reset tpms?
You don't have to be connected to the internet to use it, but you must connect to update it if you wish. It has a browser that automatically searches for the codes to let you know what the common problems are. Also it describes the code, not just a reading. Not sure what you mean about monitoring, but it can reset. Please not that all vehicles are not the same and some functions do vary between vehicle.
Will this perform a throttle Idle relearn? 2015 Silverado 5.3. Any info would help thanks.
I can't say for sure but I think it would. The things it can do varies with different manufacturers. I would think it can do it.
Does this thing offer an osciloscope for crank and cam sensors?
Hey There, I don't believe it can do that. For that you would need an actual oscilloscope with test leads. Most mechanic use a secondary oscilloscope as scanners with them built in are quite expensive, Autel sells one but I think its around $4000USD. The CRP919e will give you some live data on the sensors, but I don't believe it will be in the oscilloscope pattern.
Hello Mr...does the 12+8 Chrysler connector be work on the crp919e?
I don't believe so, its just the OBD2. I think to use the special connectors you have to step up a bit. Then you can start getting into scanners that even have OBD1 connectors.
I see about 10 different official launch websites..I can’t tell who is selling the correct scanner?
I buy mine from Amazon as they are good to deal with if you have a problem, although I must say I have never had any issues amzn.to/3J5EUx0
Question, after 2 years are you able to use the scanner without paying the subscription? Thanks!
As far as I know yes. I had a Launch CRP429 that expired after its 2 years and it still worked, it just would not update so it slowly went obsolete. So to answer your question, as far as I know yes.
What is the case dimensions and weight with scanner inside?
I'm on vacation and out of the country, I can measure for you, but can you please write me back on Monday (there is no way I'm going to remember with all the replies I do) Thanks
Hi mate, does it do the active test for the abs pump? It has a lot of function anyway; it should be good for like 2000's bmw e46 right?
👍
It should as I found it does A LOT !! But I find its manufacturer specific so you never know. I would think you would be fine for the ABS. I know Kingbolen sells them and at one time I had a coupon code for 60 off, not sure if it still works. The code is Garageking
@@GarageKing thanks man
Anytime !! @@riccardodefina9551
Would anyone happen to know the cost of the yearly updates? I don't mind paying for an update, if it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Hey there, you get two years free, and then (at the present time) its 89 per year according to launch.
Launchtec USA says this model doesnt support USA vehicles? Any issuez? With Chrysler Jeep etc
I have not had any issues with it all at. I'm in Canada and I would think the vehicles here are the same as the US. I checked the amazon link and it says compatible with Chrysler/Jeep.
Can you graphite the injectors coils and fuel pressure?
You can graph many things, but I find they are limited to what information the ECM supplies so on actuation tests it varies between vehicles. If your vehicle is a newer one most likely I would say it can, but the only for sure way to know is to try it.
Does this scanner have a test mode options, or a special feature option
Yes, that's the bi-directional features. So you can do specific activations tests like turn the radiator fans on and off, test the door locks, gauges, wipers, horn etc.
It require to purchase for software update every year?
No, and once your subscription runs out you can keep using it, it just won't update to the latest
Hello, can this diagnostic adjust mileage ?
Good question, and to be honest I'm not sure. I find that what it can do varies between vehicles so even if it can do that on one vehicle it may not be able to do it on another.
will it support TCM program to write IP char ?
Hey there, it will read TCM and do active tests, but I'm not sure if it will write. Also I did find the scanner parameters vary between different manufacturers. You could always reach out to Kingbolen, they are a major distributor of launch. I had a code at one time for $60 off if you bought from Kingbolen, not sue if it still works. Code is Garageking
Did you buy it on Amazon? I’m concerned about warranty issues & receiving support on it cuz Launch USA won’t support it if it wasn’t bought through one of their authorized sellers.
Yep I did. The thing is there is a launch store on Amazon, but that aside you have to look at the cost of the software. Its like 500 to renew, so really what are the chances of it breaking after a few years?? It still works when the software expires, it just slowly becomes obsolete, so I'll run it for a few years and then get another. I have owned a lot of scanners and never had one break on me.
Good info & I really appreciate that! I heard you say in another comment that you own other scan tools but you keep going back to the Launch cause it’s your favorite. I’ve been doing tons of research & it seems to me Launch & Autel are the best for the money. Do you own an Autel or do you have an opinion about Autel?
@@8683roy Hey There, Autel is good as well. They are a good value. I also find Xtool very easy to use. To be honest one of my favs, if not my favorite is the GM Tech 1 Scanner. I have three of those. Too bad they only go up to the early 2000's. They are great for 80's and 90's cars. They use cartridges and are super fast and bi-directional. They can reprogram computers, odometer. If you think about it for a scanner that old they are amazing. Not for fixing new cars, but anyway sorry to go offside, how can you tell I like working on cars. To answer your questions Autel is good.
Will this reflash a tcm ?
Hey There, I'm not too sure about that. I suggest you reach out to @kingbolen_official as they sell the tools. They are very good. Thanks for the comment !
Does it work on Hyundai Tucson 2018?
It should, as long as its updated.
@@GarageKing Thank you.
Just got mine and checking it out. You said in the video that there was a browser and that it could search Google... Where is that?
If you have a code, to the left is a "code search" button and you press that and the browser will open up, its based on Windows so very good. I should have been more clear on that part and showed it. I'm not sure if you can get directly to browser, I think its only when you have a code, the code will be described and then you can research through the browser.
@@GarageKing hey brother, I really appreciate your response. I noticed you're great at responding - that's very cool. I bought this because a guy I work with has the Elite Mini and has the same Google code search function. The car I've been playing with didn't have any codes so it never gave me a search option. Thanks for clarifying that for me. My buddy's unit boots to a desktop-like screen and has the Google app there as well as the code search within the program - any way to emulate that?
@@thcguitarsrepairsandrestor8672 Appreciate the positive words. Many people reach out for various things, and I do enjoy the conversations I have with people. As for getting a different screen on boot up, I don't think thats possible. If you think of it, really all these higher end scanners are very similar, and its the preloaded software that sets them apart (there are other small things) so I think its locked the way it is. You are forced to buy a higher model if you want the different screen. But to be honest this one is great. Especially for the price, it does a lot. Happy New Year to you :)
Hey , just seeing if you know about renewing these ? In the mall it has
crp919E passenger car e-commerce configure renewal £237 ? In configuration renewal, I was told it’s £100 after 2 years

Do this scanner progran key fobs as well thats what i need to do for 2 of my cars
Yes, kind of.... You still need to have one key working, it will NOT DO ALL KEY LOST functions meaning you can't reprogram a can with no keys. This prevents theft. Also its only ONLY available for Asian vehicles with early IMMO systems. NOT intended for AUDI, Benz, BMW, or VW which have advanced IMMO systems. Hope this helps.
@@GarageKing which scanner can i get that can program with no working key fob?!
@@GarageKing i have one key for my 2011 impala but no key fobs work
you can contact @kingbolen_official they have a UA-cam Channel and are a big distributor of scanners, mention that GarageKing from UA-cam sent you and you may get a deal.@@coreychillis9754
Actually this scanner will probably still work if you have a one key, what it can't do is ALL KEYS LOST so it should just program the replacement key to the existing one, then do another key. I'm not 100% sure but I think it would probably work. I've never reprogrammed a GM so I'm not sure if it needs a signal from the other key when its doing its thing, if it doesn't then it will work. Please contact Kingbolen, I put their channel link in my other reply @@coreychillis9754
Have you tried doing an adaptive relearn for a Ford Focus transmission with this Launch tool? I was unable to . It failed at the very first step. I am not a fan of this Launc model.
I haven't worked on Fords with it, I use mine mainly on Japanese and German vehicle, and it performs well on those. Are you fully updated? Perhaps for the the transmission relearn you need a higher model.
Yes, I am fully updated. The 919E is my second Lauch product, purchased based on a good first experience with Launch. However, I have now twice tried to do the adaptive relearn on 2 different Ford Focus's, unsuccessfully. Forscan worked perfectly on both occassions.
I don't have any other issues with the Launch 919E but the product should be able to do what it has been touted to be able to do. Less and less impressed by the day.
@@francoisoosthuizen6663 Sorry to hear that, and I feel your frustration. For me its been great, but I haven't had to do the transmission relearn on Ford, so I guess I'm lucky there.
I have a question, why do some 919e/x models come with smaller box, yours is way bigger and holds the scanner more nicely, while some boxes have only 2 straps to hold the scanner in place and that is it?
I wonder if all the 919e come with one style of box and the 919x comes with another. The 919e is the newer one so maybe they changed the box design?
I surely hope so i ordered mine yesterday, should come in a week, there were no photos of inside of the box, i got the newest 2023 model, i hope i get the same box as yours.
@@domen9411 I think you should. If you don't mind following up with me I would appreciate that, just so I know and can tell others. Thanks and have a good day !!

Hi, i got the crp 919e today, unfortunately i got the smaller version of box with two straps to hold crp in place, im not sure why, some youtubers review them with bigger box such as yours and minority of them has smaller box like mine, oh well what can you do....
Can u perform key programming with this scanner?
Hey There, I'm not sure. You could reach out to www.kingbolentool.com They sell a lot on Amazon and are quite knowledgeable. The scanner may do it, but it may not do all cars.
Yes
@@seabass22 Thank you for the reply !!!
No scope ? You can't back probe to get a reading of sensor
That is the one thing I wish it had, but then it would be a much more expensive tool....... Just an OTC scope without any scan functions is 1500 bucks amzn.to/40a7L8O
does thos work on all vehicles?
Yes, but not for heavy duty trucks
But actuation test in crp919 and crp 349 doest support ....how this happen?
Hi There, I'm not familiar with crp349 as you don't see it much in North America so I'm not too sure. I know there was a 919x and then it was updated to the newest 919e. I think the 919e may be a higher model than the 349.

They do exactly the same things but my box is different
@@fucxkxows5416 Thanks for sharing, to be honest I don't think there is much of a difference, the box as you say LOL :)
I don't have the Bluetooth one but why does it keep on saying connecting to Bluetooth how do you reset the TPMS on your car it just says connecting to BT but mine is not a Bluetooth
Hey there, its because the scanner needs the TPMS tool, and that tool is bluetooth, you have to buy it separately. The Launch bluetooth TPMS tool it not cheap. Same thing with the battery tester, you need the BST360, and that is bluetooth as well. For TPMS its just cheaper to get a TPMS specific tool that works with your car. See here amzn.to/3XU9txj you can see a lot of people bought that TPMS tool. Just search up the one that is right for your car.

How does this compare to the Kingbolen K7 and the Mucar V07?
They are all in the same price range...
I like this one the best (Launch), I find the menu is good and easy to navigate, but that could because I'm just use to the menu??? The K7 has a good menu as well, but it takes a bit more for some functions (I was fixing an Audi the other day and it still did the job, but too a few more steps) and its fairly quick. I do like the bluetooth on the K7. I haven't tried the Mucar V07, but it looks just like the K7. In terms of actual functions I think they are all pretty close. I think it comes down to which one your are more familiar with. If you haven't used any of them, then I think you would be happy with anyone. If you have used a Launch before then definitely go with the 919.
I'm going to try the K7.
In the end the decision comes down to cost- if the specs are comparable.
Mucar sends from China, so there will be taxes and handling fees.
Launch is slightly more expensive, so it looks like the K7 is the best deal right now (which may change over time of course).@@GarageKing
@@demil3618 Hey there, you can't go wrong with the K7. I used it today on a 2012 Traverse, and a 2015 MB diesel and it worked great. You can check the amazon links, but Kingbolen sells direct and sometimes they are cheaper than Amazon, you can check their website direct, it also has Launch kingbolentool.com/?ref=garageking
@@demil3618 also I did have a coupon code one time, you can try it at the Kingbolen store kingbolentool.com/?ref=garageking the code is garageking no guarantees, but worth a try.

Go to kingbolentool.com/?ref=garageking they are a distributor of launch, they may ship worldwide. If you use the code Garageking you will get $60 off. You never know.
Does it work for Japanese vehicles?
Yes
Module thia a/c thanks?
Yes it will control the AC module, you can engage and disengage the AC clutch to check your system.
Hi, where can you chech oil and coolant temperature in Menu?
You have to go into live data stream and you can scroll down to see everything in there.
@@GarageKing Just found it! Although there is only coolant temperature, i cant find oil temperature
@@domen9411 There is the possibility that the vehicle you are checking does not have an oil temperature sensor, and in that case there is no way to know. I find that different vehicles have different data streams so most likely your vehicle is not equipped with an oil temp sensor so there is nothing to read.
@@GarageKing Thank you for clarification.
@@domen9411 Anytime !
Does it activate transmission solenoid ?
Yes its suppose to, but the active tests vary vehicle to vehicle. I find for some vehicles it does more than for others.
@@GarageKing do you know how well it supports Kia and Hyundai's ?
Hey there, I never tried it on Kia and Hyundia, but from what I have tried it on it works very well, and the actuation tests are really good. It's not going to perform like a $2000 scanner, but for the price this thing does A LOT !!
Have a nice time this kind of scan tool how much the price
Hey There, its on sale for 372 right now on Amazon amzn.to/3vhoOvC. You can also buy from Kingbolen and I had a code (GarageKing) that gave $60 off, they have good prices as well.
Ive got the orginal x431 diagun 2 and thinking about upgrading.
Wonder what the big difference beteen this model and the one model above this is.
Seen this one for just over 500 and the other one is just over 700.
I have to change my ecbm and wonder if either can reprogramms a abs module if i end up needing it
Id definitely want the one thats good at adding and reprogramming keys also.
Hey there, the model above this one might be the one with topography mapping, which is a really cool feature (but I don't know how much you would actually use it) I guess I would have to get it to see. I know the 919 does a lot, but if you have been around for a while then you pretty much know the more you spend the more you get (generally) but I hear what you are saying. Is it worth it, and are those features I will use. The 919 can add keys, but it varies on the car manufacturer.
@@GarageKing I read it works with cars that have a weak security,guess to do it all I'm probably gonna need the extra add on key programmer.
But the elite right now on Amazon is $717 and I can pay $114 a month on it.
I still haven't figured out everyday diagun 2 can do lol.
I've changed a caliper and then some brake lines and never knew it can start the abs motor and can bleed with 1 person.
I was using one of the ratcheting truck bed dividers on the brake pedal against the seat lol.
@@darknature79 Thanks for the follow up, and I think for keys if you have a vehicle with high security you need the expensive scanner, just how it is I think. The bleeding function is good, but to be honest I still gravity bleed 99% of the time.
@@GarageKing I was looking and launch has 2 different add one that plug into the x431 and 1 is for smart keys and comes with 4 blanks and one is for more variety.
Not that I'd hardly ever use it but it would be cool to have Incase I hear of someone needing a key programmed and I could charge a little less than the dealer and make some fast side cash to pay for the diagun.
@@GarageKing i just ordered the pro v+ elite 2023 it was about 750 after taxes.
Got it on my prime card for $54 a month.
I think it'll do everything I will need.
Does this need wifi to function or, if fitted, can it be bypassed?
It needs wifi to update, then you can take it out and use it where ever. Once your free subscription expires you can still use it, it just won't update.
@@GarageKing Thanks GK,
@@FairladyS130 Anytime
@@GarageKing OK then :) When enabling the scanner for use a password for the wifi is required. How is entered and what is it?
@@FairladyS130 When you use it for the first time you must go on wifi to update it. You can click on wifi, and then enter the password for the wifi. The password is whatever the person who owns the wifi sets it at. So if you are at your friends, click on his wifi and ask him for the password. If you are at a Starbucks, Mcdonald's, open wifi etc. I don't think it will work because even though you don't need a password, you must accept the terms and conditions and the launch has no way to do that. So it must be done on a wifi network where you know the password, so at a home is best. Hope this helps.
Can this scanner copy TCM's
Hi, Let us know your car model&year number?
Can you provide your car model and year?
How much? And where did you buy it from?
I bought it off amazon and paid 465, its currently on sale for 372, I actually can't believe its that cheap amzn.to/3vNDinc There is a Launch store on Amazon.
The issue with this and the launch scanners sold on amazon and not LaunchTechUSA is that they are not supported by Launch USA. You have to go thru who ever you bought it thru which could be and more than likely will be a pain. Thats why these are being sold so cheap cause you basically dont have tech support
They are good for two years updates, and after that you can purchase updates. I have never had a problem with one.
Do you pay for subscriptions?
Yes I'm not exempt from that. Good thing is most scanners are good for 2-3 years anyway, and they still work afterwards, they just stop updating.
This program key fobs ?
Yes it is suppose to, but I would check with the Launch specifications as it is manufacturer specific. Also it does not have all keys lost function. I believe you have to have one key working, and then it will program another.
@@GarageKing any way to see what all vehicles this works for for like older fobs and keys ?
@@leleblanc I don't think there is an actual chart or anything. You would have to reach out to Launch or Kingbolen who is a big supplier. You would probably have better luck with an older vehicle as they are not as advanced.
@@GarageKing I reached out to King and he said that it didn’t program keys .. so I’m getting mixed reply’s
@@GarageKing you have a way to message direct?
Mine didn't want to erase code P0430
That is surprising as P0430 is a common code for catalytic convertor efficiency. Did you fix the problem? if the problem is a hard fault you can clear it, but the code will return right away.
@GarageKing I believe that the problem is the scanner, because even though it scan the right vehicle VIN. When I try to clear it, it says wrong vehicle or subfunction not supported or invalid.
I find that very odd as clearing a code is a basic function. It does not require bi-directional action so I would power it down and up and try again. You could also go into OBDII instead of doing the health report and full scan. both ways will get you there. I just find it odd. @@ericflores5748
It does not work with Toyota 2001 to 02 But it is a good scanner it just have limitations when it cones to a year of the car
That's actually surprising. Thank you for sharing that.
:i ask the price not amazon, if theres a supplier here in my country of hpilippine
I did not know you were in the Philippines, you could always contact Launch.
nobody said sht about havin 2 buy subscrip
Its free updates for 2 years, which is not bad for a premium scanner, and even afterwards it will still work great, just only up to the last year it updated. But still, I hear ya..... Happy weekend to you and thanks for the comment :)
figured it out, at first i thought i needed a $600 subscrip. but once i went to data and went into firmware fix it started working. actually like this scanner, helped me clock my tps sensor with the live data to the proper volts
@@jesseb2023 That is awesome and glad to hear, I really like the scanner as well. No regrets from me.
Does this tool allow you to correct mileage?
I don't believe so, I think you have to step up for that.
