2025 LAUNCH Creader Elite V2.0 fit for Mercedes-Benz MB Sprinter Maybach Bi-Directional Scan Tool, OBD2 Scanner, Full System Diagnostic, All Reset Service, ECU Coding, Auto Vin, Lifetime F-Ree Update

It connected to wifi and updated all its software. One thing I don't understand is why it updated all other car brands software on it, even it actually only support Benz. Nevertheless, I connected it to GLC OBDII port and it automatically detected VIN and ran diagnosis. It came back with a full list of report with few error codes that I did not even noticed. I cleared the code with this tool.The purpose of purchasing this tool was to allow me to register a new battery. When buying a battery for GLC through dealer cost $500, Costco and Amazon could get same spec battery for less than $200. The difference is the labor and battery registration that requiring a special tool. This tool fits for that purpose. Under Mercedes, then advance search will show all the special functions that including battery registration. Great to have it.

I opened the package and the unit was 90% charged. So I took it out to my truck and plugged it in. It immediately read the VIN number and I was able to go in and see live readings such as throttle position, ambient air temperature, engine load, etc. Very cool device and well worth the money!

I bought this product due to all the good reviews it had, but it works as well as a much cheaper scanner. It is not doing the tasks it is intended to do. I will select an option and make all these changes, and it says it's resetting and applying them but it does nothing. I tried to call the number of the company but this is from the asian/china branch, not the us one so I can only communicate through emails. They first told me there is a 24/7 tool and then I realized they were sending me instructions for a much more expensive model, even though I provided pictures of the item and serial numbers. The only thing it does correctly for me is read Check engine codes and reset them. Doesn't work for much of the other stuff I needed it for and it says it is supposed to do. Super disappointed. I have a 2002 C32 AMG and this product does not work with it.

So far, this can do everything techstream can do but faster and easier. Version 2.0 has the same software as version 1.0 but is much faster and can do it's updates wirelessly. It can also send reports via email over the wireless and has an onboard battery which charges from the obd2 port or the usb-c connection. I have already used the product on two Lexus' and cleared some codes that other scanners missed in the history. I have also used it to debug the dreaded B1442 "air mixing dampener" that can occur with a low battery or replacing a battery. I allowed me to use the special functions to do a "Air Mix Door Servo Initialization" and clear the history fixing the issue. I hate using techstream as it's old and slow. This is much faster and just as capable so far. It also comes with a lifetime software updates for the software. While you can purchase support for other makers in the mall, these are not lifetime software and need to be renewed every year. Owning this for one maker like Toyota / Lexus with unlimited free updates is a better deal in my opinion than subscribing to makes with this tool unless you plan on doing this for less than 3 years. If you need to support a bunch of cars in a shop environment, then you really to go scanners that are faster, support all makes and models, and cost $600 or thousands which can expense the yearly subscriptions to keep it current. If you are on the fence for version 2.0 or version 1 of the Launch Creader Elite, get version 2 just for the speed and convenience.

The interface is a little small. You need to be careful with big fingers. It does give you some good information for the Mercedes. I haven't tried it on other cars because it was bought for Mercedes only but seems to do a pretty good job of letting you know what's happening. It does state that you can read other cars, I am going to do this in the near future.

You will be able to scan for codes and reset them when needed. Tool is very detailed in diagnostics. Only issue is when trying to do calibrations. You can’t enter values not enter values into cells. Making suspension calibration vertically impossible. Also calibrating anything where you need to enter a value. User interface does not have that capability.

It is indeed a useful DIY tool for me. It allows me to see the hidden technology of my car (curious me), and also allows me to fix (the tuning function found in the tool) the problem of inconsistent temperature between the driver side and the passenger side of the dual-zone constant temperature air conditioner, which I have already paid the repair shop to fix but it has not been improved.
