    Just got the 909e for my home garage. It is a budget range compared to what I’ve had in shops I’ve worked at lol. Seems like an amazing tool for the money so I can’t wait to try it out myself, got it on a flash sale on Amazon for $380!!!

    I'm trying to find out if this tool will do a few things and have been unable to find out before ordering one.
    First, open and close the brake calipers to change the pads on my 2016 Mercedes GLC300, which is a requirement, as I understand it.
    Second, my GLC300 has air ride suspension and a sunroof, so I'm wondering if it will have the functions on it for those systems.
    Third, I also have a 2016 Chevy Silverado that I need to program a 2nd key for since my dealership has made me wait for a year without providing for $120. Will this tool program one if I order a blank and have it cut?
    Thank you in advance if you have the time to help me with the answers to these questions and for posting such a great video.

    • @GerardBurkeBurkesGarage
      @GerardBurkeBurkesGarage  3 роки тому

      It is a 2019 David. I can't say I have ever noticed it hot to be honest and I have used it many times for that amount of time. I do however use the stand pretty much all the time so that may make a significant difference, similar to a laptop heating when left on your lap?
      Just a thought.

    Good review mate.
    It's good to have someone who reviews something rather than an unboxing. Glad you have used them before.
    I have only the low end Launch Creader IV and have used a basic bi-directional one - (think it was an older 123). Found them easy to use for what they are.

    • @GerardBurkeBurkesGarage
      @GerardBurkeBurkesGarage  4 роки тому +2

      Cheers mate,
      Ya absolutely, I have no interest in looking at a scan tool review without someone using the tool and have awareness for its capabilities (or lack of)
      I have been a fan of the high level Launch tools for many years but the basic ones are just no good for my needs. They serve a purpose but if you plan on working on vehicles even at home I would always recommend the next level up so you won't regret the purchase.
      Very straightforward tool to use as you say. I suspect I will like this tool more and more as I get real world experience with it 😁👌👌

      Thanks Ryan, the quick answer is yes, to get the full list of what vans it covers reach out to the company that I linked in the description, they will give you a much more detailed answer than I able.
      I use it daily and like every scan tool it can't do them all, so far I have had a very high % success in the jobs I have needed it for, a recent failure was a Lexus RX200 rear brake service, our snap on also failed on that model too.

AUTEL MK808:YES. ANCEL X7 : YES , ADAPT GEARBOX ,this crp909 not as good as they say . Seems like is got loads of functions , but not that good .
