2026 NEW Launch OBD2 Scanner CR529 Code Reader Check Engine Light for All OBDII Car After 1996 Full OBD2 Functions Mode 8, I/M Readiness DTC Lookup Lifetime Free Update Scan Tool [Upgrade Version]

If anyone has a check engine light show up on their car, they already know repair shops charge in excess of 50-60 dollars just to pull the code for a quick diagnostic check. Typically dealerships or mechanics you have a good relationship apply this cost to the actual repair as a goodwill, but more often than not resolving simple issues (like replacing a sensor, loose wire connections) can be can be diagnosed and fixed at the home garage. This particular device lets you pull these codes, conveniently look them up in a built in database, monitor key vehicle parameters and to enable you to run simple diagnostic procedures to be find and fix issues with your car. I had a check engine light show up on my car a couple of weeks ago and i was shopping for a similar device and found this one that fit within my price range. And so far it has already paid for itself within a day of owning it! i was able to find and clear the code, find the issue in the vehicle and apply a quick fix to resolve it. Here are the Pros - 1. Easy and self explanatory interface with the instruction manual directly on the device 2. No separate charging or battery required as the device is powered directly off the OBD connector 3. fault code database directly on the device for easy lookup (some codes are proprietary and may not available but they are very easily looked up in your car service manual or a simple google search) 4. Ability to monitor key vehicle parameters and log data, and transfer this data to a computer via a serial port and supplied USB cable. Cons - 1. The product looks substantial and somewhat rugged, but it feels light and plasticky when you handle it. This isn't related to the functionality of the product at all. But a little more heft to the body, and rubber grips will go a long way to giving this product a "premium" feel. 2. Contact switches below the buttons are somewhat stiff and centered - so you have to be right in the middle of the button with a slightly higher push force to recognize the input. (compared to other devices people may be used to). These are minor nitpicks however, and does not in anyway affect the overall functionality of the product. I will post a follow up review in about 6months to add comments on durability of the product. Until then 5 stars!

Let me first say that I've owned 7 diagnostic readers in he last decade and this one is the best yet. The large screen and LONG cord are some of its best features.! Subaru buries their diagnostic port pretty deep under the dash and this long cord is extremely handy! Plug in the sensor, turn the key and Launch comes to life. The handheld boots in remarkable time and presents you with all of the important options from code reading, freeze frame data retrieval, live data feed etc. I even tells you if the car has passed its emissions readiness tests! While my Subaru didn't have any check engine codes or Freeze frame data the live data feed was very impressive. My car supports CAN Bus so the variables updated quite quickly. I was very impressed with the speed of the refresh and even more impressed with how many options you could change. For the very reasonable cost of this device you get a near pro grade solution. Like most pro grade devices the case is even covered in the rubber to prevent damage for those unforeseen situations. We've probably all got a story about leaving the code reader on the roof of the car. The launch has as good a chance of any to survive and report for duty again! All of my reviews include a product suggestion and this is no different. This device is 99% of the way to being perfect. My only suggestion is that they backlight the keypad. In capturing data in the car at night its hard to see the buttons. It should be noted that the buttons are large enough its really easy to navigate by feel too!

There is a lot to understand when first stepping into reading diagnostic information, this tool reads quite a bit more than just basic diagnostic trouble codes(DTC); it has an I/M readiness monitor and live data streaming. It takes a couple of tries to get the live streaming selection down, as in there is a two data selection point requirement before it displays. Read the instructions on the screen they are very helpful, this actually helped me with several functional issues before posting a review such as having the key in the on-position but the engine off. Just hit the help button (?) and read it carefully. After a reset, I haven't had any added problems, some items maybe working better or are now functioning. It has some technical readouts and that is standard for most readers. So far I cannot print the data recorded on the reader for my VIN, some vehicles may have extra security that may block the print option, I am unsure at the moment. Remember this item won't reset maintenance times and won't force a test your vehicle hasn't generated, so be patient, find a credible drive cycle program and verify the parts are installed correctly if no code is being thrown.

I've had a Launch scanner in my toolbox for many years. I drive older vehicles and the older scanner was fine. My wife has traded up a couple of times over the last few years and the old scanner was old school and I got this scanner to bring us up to date. It's one of those things you rarely use but is so wonderful to have in your hand when you need it. I put the old scanner in the toolbox on my 2000 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 which I drive the most. I've plugged this new scanner in on our cars to check it out but have not needed it to read error messages so far. I'm a do-it-yourself guy and being able to narrow down problems and issues and reset error codes is wonderful. I highly recommend having one of these handy. You will have an idea of what issues you are having before taking your car to a mechanic if you don't work on your own car. It's a wonderful tool to have.

Works good for a basic scanner

LAUNCH is an USA brand , but the instrument is made in China. Costliest OBD2 scanner available here, it is also the most detailed instrument. Larger than most of the palm sized ones, this however has buttons marked with faded white paint likely to become unreadable after some use. Should have been backlit. Feature wise, it has almost everything : direct key for I/M Readiness, shortcut for Help, Live Data, Freeze Frame, DTC lookup, code definitions, etc. An USB cable is also provided for hooking up to computers for taking printouts.
