LAUNCH CRP129X V2.0 Elite OBD2 Scanner for Car, 2025 Upgrade of CRP123X/CRP129X, New-added 12 Reset Services, Scan Tool for ABS/SRS/AT/Engine, FCA AutoAuth, Lifetime Free Update, Auto VIN,Battery Test

About two weeks ago I purchased the Launch CPR129X scanner. If you are looking for a scanner for your own use, this might be a good choice. The price varies. It gives a lot of information, and the firmware comes with a free lifetime update. The scanner also connects to Wi-Fi and allows it to download updates. It also has a "Mall", Store, that you can purchase add on functions. I purchased the add on for GM vehicles that adds more function. This was an added $34 purchase on the mall off the scanner. The add-on features are only good for one year.ReportsThe scanner allows you to input a business or your personal name and your email address. It will email you a nice-looking report with all the details of the scan results. You can take snapshots of any of the scanner screens that can also be sent to your email address.Live DataYou can view live data of anything on the OBD2 connection. It will also live stream graft the data, allowing you to view any changes. This data can also be recorded for capturing any changes and saving them for future viewing. These recordings can also be emailed.My only complaint, the product description offers a free lifetime update service. This is for the base level amount of scan data. If you want the full scan capability, you need to purchase additional firmware from their mall. They are only good for a year and after a year, you need to purchase again. It is still cheaper than other scanners and gives the same results as scanners costing way more.All in all I’m happy with this unit. It feels comfortable to use and seems to be made well. I give it a full 5 stars.

The product arrived quickly, and first impressions were excellent. The scanner itself feels like a high quality piece and not flimsy or cheap at all. I was pleasantly surprised it came fully charged, and turned on quickly without being plugged in. Already a major upgrade from my other scanner. I quickly set up the scanner to get on my WIFI, registered my product, and installed all the updates. At this point after all the updates (And my slow internet connection) it had been on for about 45 minutes to an hour...The battery only dropped down to 98%, Great!The unit has a touch screen that feels excellent. Feels like an iPhone and the menu's have the same feel to them. You can use either the touch screen or the buttons on the right for any task. Kind of handy, kind of un-necessary but hey its there and it works.My first task was reading an airbag code on a 2012 Silverado. I plugged the truck in, it read the VIN quickly. After answering a few questions like "Manual Transfer case yes/no" It ran a full vehicle health report. In addition to the airbag code it provided a description of the code and what the error means. B0083 front left impact sensor 1; 0F Sensor Reading Erratic. No need to google what the numbers mean anymore. (Another great feature my old scanner did not have)It also pulled up codes from the past that were fixed....Like an unplugged wheel speed sensor from when i did the brakes a week ago and forgot to plug it in immediately. I was able to clear these from the history, but need to fix the airbag sensor before that one will disappear.The next task was to reset the oil service light on a 2011 Audi A4. It not only did this, but it also reset the Service Interval as well! This was something I thought only an Audi specific tool could do. It not only reset it, but allowed me to extend the service alert to not bug me for another 3 years! (Previously we had to go to Audi 45 minutes away from our house once a year to get the alert reset). This feature was not advertised, but it is possible with this unit.... Color me impressed!So far I am very impressed with the unit and am very happy with my purchase. Well worth the investment if you do as much of your own work on your vehicles as you can. I hate having to take vehicles somewhere for something simple, like brakes, because there is no easy way to retract the electronic E-Brake.

So far I have just opened the device and begun setting it up. I liked it at first and seems to work good. However during the initial setup it showed 44 updates available so I started them. It has been running for over 6 hours now and still hasn’t finished. I have over 800 mb/s data speeds so this is remarkably slow. I’m not giving up yet so I will update when I know more. But so far it seems disappointingly slow.(((UPDATE))) So I will say I am quite happy with the Device and its abilities. At first I was extremely disappointed and that is because the updating process caused it to basically go into some type of glitch where it never completed the updates and wouldn’t work. Tech support reached out to me regarding this and got it resolved quickly. To help others out, DO NOT CHOOSE to update everything. Only select the updates for the country you’re in not other countries updates. That’s what caused mine to glitch. Now after completing a factory reset and reinstalling the proper updates I’ve ran it on 6 separate vehicles and it works wonderfully and performs quite well for the price range it’s in!

This is a great entry level scanner. It comes with a nice soft case and feels high quality. After updating and hooking it up, the first thing I noticed is how quick it did a full system scan. Some modules weren't available, but many of the important ones were listed. It has no bidirectional capability except for the resets that it comes with. However, for $34 you can purchase full bidirectional capabilities per manufacturer. Honestly, that's amazing. If you are a DIYer, this is perfect. You can get full functionally for your vehicles for a quarter of the cost of other scanners. If you're using this for side work, make your customer pay for the $34. Eventually you'll end up with a super capable scanner for way cheaper than other options. Overall, I would recommend this to basically anyone. Due to the speed, I could see myself using this everyday for prescans and basic resets.

good device, has a wide range of settings and indicators. suitable for both car enthusiasts and car service centers.
