It is so nice to see SnapOn get some real competition, the new generation of scan tools are far cheaper, with bidirectional control. Competition makes everybody better. That said, I haven't yet found one that gets more than a C grade after a year or so. I've heard some good things about the Launch, but I haven't tried that one yet. Let's all hope that Launch can raise the bar a little higher! Another excellent video, Will.
spelunkerd thank you for all the feedback!!! Always appreciated! It is great to see this. Options are good like you mentioned and competition is always good to keep these big guys in check lol
Great video and info thank you. I was wondering what if you change the sensor and then test it the same way but it does switch to high psi stays only at low psi
looks good as "scanner only" tool but if I am going to buy only one diagnostic tool I would have to have bidirectional controls built into it. I know no one diagnostic tool is "best" and most shops have multiple different diagnostic tools because of that but for a DIY guy that is not practical but I do enough work on cars where I need a diagnostic tool so trying to decide if I can only afford one, which one should I buy. Any suggestions??
yep common problem, I've always put foot on brake, trans in gear and turned wheel lock to lock and momentarily bind at end, if motor bogs down much, bad switch or wire. should be able to see and feel the load change through transmission and tachometer rpm. Yeah I'd flat parts canon that one, then look further if it was still broke, even if it wasn't bad it will be soon, exception it looks brand new and came from other shop. not many are good at wiring and electronics, which is bad since vehicles are chock full of such now.
why on my second screen 1:30 , I only see the first two top options and no ABS & no SRS system? Have they sold me something less? Do I need to turn on anything in the menu? Or should I return it before late? Please someone help.
Hi Drew,CRP129E has the Oil/EPB/SAS/TPMS/Injector Reset features.Think about Launch Diagun IV or X431 V if you wanna a full bi-directional controls scan tool.
The Disgruntled Mechanic I recently had a couple hiccups where I had to do a manual entry or it would hang up. Once I went in manually everything seemed ok... even my higher end tools do this at times.. I agree this can be very annoying regardless
It has issues since I have one. The MAC address changes all the time and that means you cannot set a MAC filter on the router. And it is not supported by LAUNCH USA.
juan rodriguez lol pretty impressive scan tool no doubt!!! Keith from new level turned me on to launch a few years back... I bought a x431 it’s a few years old now
yo .. Favour ... How would you reset the alcohol level . with this machine???? can you make a video . using this machine??... to reset the limit.. cause . ive used this machine to see how much it is right now... 10.25 percentage. . amature / green horn skill
I'm really impressed by the Launch products especially for that price!
DiagnoseDan Hello Dan!! Great hearing from you! Great product for the price absolutely
It was cool how you had the code and showed the problem being fixed, great video mate
I was very surprised and impressed with all the live data pids that were available, that's a lot of information
Launch and Autel seem to be the new kids on the block and putting out real good scan tools.

Well done as always, Will. Nice to see companies are taking notice of your talents and respecting your opinion..
A very capable tool in the right hands. Nice job showing some of the highlights.
wyattoneable absolutely.. your welcome 🙏 thanks for stopping by Wyatt
Thank you Will. Good job. Have a blessed and safe week.
Billy Yoder your welcome!! And thank you 🙏 wish the same for you
I just bought a dedicated VAG scanner... to keep in my car. Small scan tools like this are great for when you're away from the shop!
Thomas EXOVCDS absolutely I couldn’t agree more!! It’s great hearing from you Thomas
For a reasonable price, the tool had lots of PIDs and seem to work very well. Great diagnostics on the switch Will and keep up the good work. 😀👍
Thanks for the video Will. Launch seems to be a pretty good tool, they hold their own with some of the best of them.
TakeCare,
Bill
Bill K you’re welcome anytime!!! I agree.. pretty impressed
My eye always twitches when I see a PT haha. Nice scanner, been looking at a few different Launch products.
CravinMorehead420 😆 maybe that’s why my eye was twitching the other day lol launch seems like there moving up fast
Great video and info thank you. I was wondering what if you change the sensor and then test it the same way but it does switch to high psi stays only at low psi
The Infamous PT Cruiser... LOL Thanks Will
Lon Willis lol 😆 your welcome anytime
I have break wear indicator on my sprinter on at dash. Do you think this scanner can tell me which specific wheel sensor is bad? Thanks

Agree,bidirectional is must for auto technician or Advance DIYer. Launch X431 Diagun IV is not bad for the cost.

That's what i bought it for little running repairs like that
Respect. I wanted to ask you if the crp123e launcher has the option to return the mileage because most people tell me no

Does that Launch have bidirectional control?
No but Launch X431 Diagun IV has the full bidirectional control capability.
Kingbolen Auto Scanner Center thank you for answering
@@robinsonsauto Welcome
Hi Will. Great vid. Seems like a capable tool, but please tell me that VIN slot machine sound can be muted.
El Cheapo hello. Very capable. Lol I’m not sure 🤔
Excellent! How does the Creader compare to the Launch Diagun?
Diagun IV has the bidirectional capability but CRP129E have not
Kingbolen Auto Scanner Center thank you for answering
@@kingbolen_official I have the diagun. Love it.
@@billrimmer5596 Thank you Bill,hope it help you more in future.
#robinsonsauto any bi-directional controls with that launch?
Drew Johnson I gotta play some more honesty.. will keep you updated
Hi Drew,CRP129E has the Oil/EPB/SAS/TPMS/Injector Reset features.Think about Launch Diagun IV or X431 V if you wanna a full bi-directional controls scan tool.
My launch crp 129e quit working on me, launch customer support was no help either.
don't you wish they could all be that easy
scuba422123 lol yes I can only wish
:-) I am impressed. Amazing job. Big like from Germany! Sunshine :))
Just did not like the one I had. Very buggy but could've been me!

James Bruno 💥 lol thank you
Thanks for the video, can you make more videos with this scan tool on different makes pls
It has issues since I have one. The MAC address changes all the time and that means you cannot set a MAC filter on the router. And it is not supported by LAUNCH USA.
Is it bi directional
No but Launch X431 Pro,pro mini,Diagun can do bidirectional test.
got a launch scan pad a couple of years ago now i forgot where my s/o modis is hiding
juan rodriguez lol pretty impressive scan tool no doubt!!! Keith from new level turned me on to launch a few years back... I bought a x431 it’s a few years old now

Victor M Coria thank you
The fact that a Power steering pressure switch throwns a P CODE and requests a MIL is so dumb
U didn't say how much it sost
