I can say on my Launch scanner it seems to be MOST vehicles from around 2001-2002 will autoscan if I choose to use the Vinscan instead of going manual, but some vehicles need to be newer than 2005-2006ish. Anything before 2001 or so is always manual. Its really up to the manufacturer and how the vehicle software is setup whether the scantool can autoscan the vin or not...that said Nissan is always a pain in the ass, I can scan most vehicles and do a health report in less than a quarter of the time than it takes on any Nissan/Infiniti. I wanted to mention to you though the reason for this is that those two scanners are talking to different sides of the computer. There is the generic side that the basic Creader talks to and pulls up monitors and codes on and the more advanced scanners will talk to the other side imitating dealer software. I thought its worth mentioning because I have seen a couple cases where I scan a vehicle and NO codes come up on my scanner or my coworkers snap on solus, but if I put my scanner into EOBD mode or use the cheap Harbor Freight scanner we use for checking monitors sometimes generic codes will show up. Just thought it was worth sharing with you bro!
I believe you have to do the wireless software upgrade via Wi-Fi as soon as you open it to take advantage of the fixed quirks. It has free software upgrades for life on WiFi 😉👍
I have the Launch CRP123 Premium. I bought it from Cornwell for the features it has for the money and to have a descent scan tool for my side work. I've used it on my older Silverado and my wife's older Suburban, but I have to manually insert those vehicles to scan.
I'm not too familiar with this scanner but most scanners Auto ID from what I can recall works on 2007 and up. I always use my pocket reader for monitors. It's so much faster than pulling out a scanner a building the vehicle just for monitors.
I’ve used my CRP129x on over 200 vehicles past 2 years. Airbag resets, all sorts of things. I am in Australia . Nissan, RangeRover, Toyota, GM Holden, Suzuki, I have even reset oil light on Mitsubishi Fuso diesel trucks… does not work on Fords but I use Forscan for Fords.
I'm so glad to finally see your review from someone it works on stuff and doesn't call the dash light the thing the thing right there and someone that actually turn the key on the vehicle I'm on my hundreds vehicle now and I still have yet to see all the features of a scan tool. Even the scannerdanner with mean garage guy talk more about they're all tools than they did show off anyting bus regular fellers can you use. So far I've learned more off of you and a 16 year old kid that has dad scan tool just to make it video basically just to keep his channel going and to show off some of his passcard which were kind of impressive also this coming from a guy that hates imports not just cars I'm talking imports in general. And this tool Jane argue against my case at all thanks for the honesty! Signed the idiot that's done proofreading because how to many people these days are smart enough to go through the trouble I apologize to the very few of you that are not in this category
I just got this model. There is a button on the screen that says Mall. It looks like you have to pay $19.95 to get the oil reset feature. There are also other features you have to pay for. Also, it did not connect to my car until I turned the key on.
I have a Launch scan tool, the X431 Torque, the most expensive scan tool in their line up. I did have a few issues. One, was on a 2003 Cadillac, it would auto-identify about half the time on that car, but that car was a flood car, it was under water at one point in time. Also on a 2002 Chevrolet Impala, I tried to program a key fob. In the menu, it would ask me how many fobs I was trying to program, which was one. Everytime I picked one fob, it would fail to program, so finally I told it that I was programming 2 fobs, and then it successfully programed that one fob
I've got the newer black one. Only issue I ever have, is remembering to check the cigarette lighter. As most OBDII terminals, share that circuit for power. If it's blown or bad, I'll get a connectivity prompt on the screen.
I just watched the first 2:26 of the video then stopped. I've used my Launch 123I so far to scan my 2006 Hyundai Tucson & last night i scanned my 2010 Jeep Patriot. It doesn't matter what vehicle I scan, the time it takes to get the VIN on either is about 30 seconds or more. It just takes this scan tool longer than most. Now on my Patriot, I did receive an error one time so I turned off the key & unplugged the scanner & plugged it back in & it worked fine. Back to last night, I wanted to see why the ''Check Engine Light'' & 3-warning lights (traction Control, ABS & Airbag) decided to pop up again for no reason. I was able to go into the settings and locate all the issues that were tripped. I reset the Check Engine light, and all 3 warning lights. I'm keeping my scan tool simply because for $170 being able to see ''Real Time Data'' helps because it tills me the RPM & the Voltage to any of the Sensors & where it goes as I accelerate. Having the ability to have the data helps when you have those details on the vehicle, or talking to a shop mechanic you can tell them if its receiving power & how much.......
I have a CRP129E and it's been pretty good for the money mine has connected on everything so far from a Mini Cooper to Jeep to Toyota Ford Honda with several of those being from late 90s and early 2000s. If I was having the problems you were I'd definitely agree with you but given how mine has been doing I'm enjoying mine a good bit. Hopefully they can get yours straighted out for you.
Wilkerson Auto Thank you for your feedback I am currently working with CN Launch headquarters to try to resolve the issue. I’m super happy you’ve had really good luck with yours. I hope they can fix mine.
One of the articles I read stated those type of scan issues were due to OBD2 related software. Regardless if the vehicle was domestic or not, plus OBD2 was still considered to be in it's infancy, even after 2000-2001. Sorta makes we wonder what type of electronic scan tools were available to mechanics back then. I don't believe we could buy them commercially like we have been able to over the past 10-15 years. I have watched a couple videos where guys who owned a MB from the late 2000's & also some VW & BMW can't use a OBD2 scan tool on them. Evidentially those auto manufacturers do not want customers to be able to repair their own vehicles...
I just got my launch 123x don't have any issues and it's fairly quick so I bet you're right it's probably something with the firmware software glitch in their set up
To get the oil light reset you must get the CRP129X, they put a few more feature which are just software on the that one. It is almost the last step before going to to the x431 style. That will be my next one to get because of the bi-directional for programming immo keys. That thing will pay for its self in a month.
Just done a review on ths same scanner for my channel (coming out on the 20th May) and had the same issues with I/M readiness as you, working on my 2001 Toyota Rav4 it just goes back to the main menu, so 3 Years after your issues, it seems the glitch remains!
I have the Launch CRP129e and its pretty awesome, it is fast and aside from not have bi directional controls it does everything I need it to do. I’m not sure what’s wrong with yours but mine works great.
I purchased the same Launch 123X scan tool not too long ago, was impressed untill I tried to do an I/M Readiness check on my dad's 97 prelude. All I get is a "failure" message and it boots me out to the main screen. I paid 180$ of course I'm returning this crap to Amazon. And yes my scanner was also up to date and had a good wifi connection which should never be needed to perform an emmisions test. Glad to see I'm not the only one getting this error. Not worth the money if one of the main features doesn't work.
Older Nissan have had Alot of ecm issues with various scan tools and FYI launch doesn't work well with Nissan vehicles still having issues setting up Nissan nats for ecm replacement doesn't communicate well with their nats system launch has been notified of this several time by myself and I'm using matco launch maximus2.0 autel works best with Nissan I have found ipdm communicate best with snapon only thing they have going for snapon and I'm using verus pro 19.2 in it
Mine wont read the vin you can clearly see on mine that it charges when plugged into the obd port but it won't read the vin to go any further idk why it worked good the 2 times I used it but now it wont work my snap on legend works wonders but I left it at work lol
Glad I watched this video before ordering that scanner. Looking at t he Foxwell NT644 Elite but am curious if you currently have a favorite DIY wrench turner scanner - somewhere in the 200 to 400 dollar range? I've got a Bluedriver Ive used for several years but it cant get deeper into live data and whatnot. Thanx for all the effort you put into your videos - peace brother
My 2004 ram 1500 was reading then updated the 123x and now wont auto but my hand held will but i need live feed for combustion and my 123x has alot more options man
On nissan if you want to do a quick check up or monitor check don't go to diagnose use obd direct if you want to do a full diagnostic use nissan 2 adapter
Hallo friends yes I have same issue on nissan pathfinder 2001 i try many launch brands crp123 cr429C crpvii+ crp129 DiagunIv LAUNCH xdiag pro3. All this tools are not work when I try read obd2 system no communication ,the small obd reader cheap reader are all works on this car obd2 protocol is iso 19041
Been looking for an "entry level" scan tool, from my Matco or Snap-On tool dealer.(under$1500) The Matco Maxlite($500?) seemed to have allot of features for a guy doing side jobs at home. This scan tool appears to be a stripped down version. Recommendations? Will have to make weekly payments and in October the city gives us a $600 tool bonus.
Auto-ID is not available on all cars, the same goes with any other scan tools. Auto-ID VIN did not exist until some but not all early 2000 model year cars.
I ended up buying the launch torque x431 it’s the best one they offer aside from the throttle I love it, auto scans everything. The evap should set before egr too.
It doesn't identify my doge ram 2020 but i can select it manually. And that is because the obd connection on the truck have only 6 pins. Its not the scanner fault
You should check out the Bosch bluetooth scanner. Bought it from orileys. Reads engine codes, abs and airbags and live streams all the streamable sensors with some decemt bosh customer service
I don't think Autel/Launch sells on Amazon even if the seller's name is Launch. Lots of fake counterfeit Launches being sold. Launch states they won't be able to help you out with any questions unless you buy from them. What interface are you working with the Autel employee? Amazon, or Angel's 800#? I thought that they were based in the U.K.
Hey man I got the 129x scanner today and very disappointed. I have a Nissan 2015 frontier !!!happened to UA-cam why this is the worst scanner ever and found your video with a frontier??did you ever get to the part where you called or figured out what the problem was on the frontier and this scanner?? I’m sitting inside right now trying everything to use this tool properly ???Anything??
Hola. Soy de chile... compré el launch 909x y fué un error, tiene muchos problemas, dpf reg lo hace en muy pocos autos, ahora usted sabe como se resetea manualmente la camioneta ram 1000?...el scanner ni siquiera lo reconoce Gracias
Hey justin what is this scan tool the crp123x or crp129x? I was looking at picking up the autel 808 or the crp129x what is your opinion? Thanks j dawg!
JRC54 plug and play. Someone sent me the CREADER123E and my Neighbor Stole it. Then I had met a really nice girl who wanted to send me this 123X to see if I liked it.
I bought it for a $107. I use it the 1st time and I had to put the vehicle in it which was a 2000 Buick century .. It seems to work better when the engine was running , it a lot more figures on it and I wish there was some place that would tell you what all those figures Voltage and pressure and percentages mean I don't know what they mean . It said have a leak and my EVAP. I've replaced the purge and cantier. So I think it's in the li'ne going to have to find it.
You are supposed to be a professional mechanic, so you should have the best tools. I'm a shade tree mechanic, and I have the 129x, and it is Awesome! You should have something from Snap-off or Mac-expensive! Oh, and stop drinking that boston Piss. Coors Banquet Rules!!!
Damn now I think it’s a good thing amazon/launch screwed me over and canceled my order without me asking. I lost the promo and 3 days of waiting for it with there “I’m sorry just accept my apology and just reorder it at full price” as there fix for screwing me over and costing me
I have the millennium master it is the biggest pos no support from launch at all so I got the Matco maxilite and have been satisfied with it good for 90 percent of what I need anything else I use the shop scanner..I will never buy another product ftom launch.
I was looking at that one and a lot of the problems I saw ended up being knock offs. Honestly I probably would have bought it if I knew it was touch screen. Went with the foxwell nt510 because it has bidirectional controls. It does a lot but man is that thing slow. Also you have to type in the vin on older cars.
FYI this product is not registered and not supported by Launch USA. Meaning if your unit breaks after your return window expires, good luck dealing with technical support in China. After a month of ownership, my unit kept dropping its wifi connection, making it impossible to upgrade its software. Did reset and put it next to my router but no luck. Called Launch USA for technical support but was told that this products are not carried and not supported by Launch USA, instead they gave me contact info in China. If you had dealt with warranty issues with China before, you know what I mean. Good thing Amazon had the most hassle free return policy
Just not good for BMW and land Rover or jaguar I have both launch and autel and launch is better for those vehicles and I also rock snapon verus pro and Otc gen touch autel is a 908 and launch is a matco maximus2.0

Gracias
Sorry es oil reset de ram 1000
Hey justin what is this scan tool the crp123x or crp129x? I was looking at picking up the autel 808 or the crp129x what is your opinion? Thanks j dawg!
Where did you get that scan tool? Or who sent it to you?
JRC54 Launch sent it to me as a gift and asked me if I would use it and share my thoughts about it in a video.
Was it launch or a drop shipper?
JRC54 I don’t know the difference. I believe it was an employee of Launch.
Guy sent me one to. I just wanted to make sure I don't have that issue with this one.
JRC54 plug and play. Someone sent me the CREADER123E and my Neighbor Stole it. Then I had met a really nice girl who wanted to send me this 123X to see if I liked it.
I bought it for a $107. I use it the 1st time and I had to put the vehicle in it which was a 2000 Buick century .. It seems to work better when the engine was running , it a lot more figures on it and I wish there was some place that would tell you what all those figures Voltage and pressure and percentages mean I don't know what they mean . It said
have a leak and my EVAP. I've replaced the purge and cantier. So I think it's in the li'ne going to have to find it.
If you bought it on Amazon or eBay that scanner will be counterfeit. I got that information directly from launch.
did you put in country of origin?
Any update on this? Worth buying?
Not worth buying IMO
You are supposed to be a professional mechanic, so you should have the best tools. I'm a shade tree mechanic, and I have the 129x, and it is Awesome! You should have something from Snap-off or Mac-expensive! Oh, and stop drinking that boston Piss. Coors Banquet Rules!!!
Damn now I think it’s a good thing amazon/launch screwed me over and canceled my order without me asking. I lost the promo and 3 days of waiting for it with there “I’m sorry just accept my apology and just reorder it at full price” as there fix for screwing me over and costing me
Nothing wrong with your scanner this scanner complies with 2006 and up with Asian cars and 1996 and up with American cars ( GM, FORD, CHEV ) .
So anything older than 2000 you have to manually enter
Joe jones Yes & even the it might have issues trying to connect to the PCM/ECU
Same thing happend to me with a Nissan Sentra México
never been a launch fan
This guy would have hated the old days. The OG Snapon modis, inputting VIN and having keys for the OBD2 connector.
Sounds like problems with one of the communication protocols.
I have the millennium master it is the biggest pos no support from launch at all so I got the Matco maxilite and have been satisfied with it good for 90 percent of what I need anything else I use the shop scanner..I will never buy another product ftom launch.
I was looking at that one and a lot of the problems I saw ended up being knock offs. Honestly I probably would have bought it if I knew it was touch screen. Went with the foxwell nt510 because it has bidirectional controls. It does a lot but man is that thing slow. Also you have to type in the vin on older cars.
So which one are you using ???
so did you get it working right?
Nope. Dropped it like a bad habit and sold it for cheap.
FYI this product is not registered and not supported by Launch USA. Meaning if your unit breaks after your return window expires, good luck dealing with technical support in China. After a month of ownership, my unit kept dropping its wifi connection, making it impossible to upgrade its software. Did reset and put it next to my router but no luck. Called Launch USA for technical support but was told that this products are not carried and not supported by Launch USA, instead they gave me contact info in China. If you had dealt with warranty issues with China before, you know what I mean. Good thing Amazon had the most hassle free return policy
Had the same issue with crp909x, i did an update and all good. not sure what the problem with yours. My 909 is badass man!
Finally stepping up 2 better beer
does it work in obd2 mode? or do all the problems occur in the manufacturer software
Hola amigo al instalar un software, me solicita una contraseña ?????Por favoringrese su contraseña(codigo de registro )
Joe Smith is good friends of Sam too
Aultel is the best Bi Directional scanner for the price imo
Just not good for BMW and land Rover or jaguar I have both launch and autel and launch is better for those vehicles and I also rock snapon verus pro and Otc gen touch autel is a 908 and launch is a matco maximus2.0
what version is this launch?
233
Looks like the Marco maxlite
Looks like a good tool but falls on its face
Cracking a cold one for all of us out there
Call there Tech Dept bro
Hey man can you spare a beer 😋
