As an ASE certified technician with 27 years of experience and many many scan tools I can easily say this is an impressive tool.The features of this tool is really where it stands out. The resets and configuration function of this tool make this really worth the money. The crp919e will reset oil life percentage, battery renewals, diesel particulate filters, sunroofs, coding for injectors, window resets, abs brake bleeding, steering angle resets, and those are just a few of the capabilities. In addition to that it is still a full featured scan tool that will read and erase codes read the data stream perform actuation tests so that you can test individual components quickly. It will also perform certain levels of PMI (programmable module installation) which is where the tool will get the information from the old module and write that information on to the new module. Big name brand scan tools that cost thousands of dollars will not complete all of the things that this tool will do.The hardware is also impressive for this tool. It is a corded tool which means you will not be losing any Bluetooth dongles and it will be charging while you are using it. The 7-in screen displays text large enough to easily be read and the graphing is very good. The case on the tool has rubber bumpers so that it can survive being dropped from a reasonable height.The software on the tool is also really well done. The main menu is organized really well and finding information is simple. After a vehicle is scanned you can produce a report and email it to yourself or someone else and it looks very professional. The menus on the tool are labeled properly and if you click on something many times it will have a dialog box that details what that test does and asks you if you want to proceed especially if doing so could cause a problem if done wrong.It's easy to recommend this tool because it has a great feature set as well as good hardware.

The scan tool itself is fairly versatile with lots of options and capabilities, however should you run into issues with the unit like I have you will not be able to get support through normal channels. The manufacturer will tell you " this is not a unit that was made for retail in the US please reach out to our overseas support" the overseas support typically takes 4 to 5 business days to email you back with a response that is not related to anything you have asked or stated, just the generic reset and reinstall, over and over and over again. The TeamViewer function is a handy function that worked once and never again. I have been trying since this unit was about a month old to get this feature back working with no help from the manufacturer or support. They basically told me to return the unit. If I return the unit as I am while outside the normal return window I face roughly $100 in restocking fees which will make it to where I cannot order another one of similar functions.

Excellent product for modifying the codes in a Porsche 718 to customize your driving experience. You can clear codes, reset maintenance, and check trouble codes as well. Wanna turn off the insufferable auto stop start "feature" or drop the Boxster top with your fob? This tool can do that and a multitude of other things. Do some research on coding before attempting changes to the code or you will certainly get lost and almost certainly break something. Search "Brush Coding 718" and you should find what you are looking for.

Excellent scanner at first — but failed after only a year.I purchased the LAUNCH X431 CRP919E OBD2 Scanner for $372. At first, it worked great — fast scans, easy interface, and the bidirectional features really helped with troubleshooting. For the first year, I was very satisfied.Unfortunately, after about a year of light use, it stopped working. The device still powers on, but it no longer connects to the vehicle or retrieves codes. I tried it on multiple cars with the same result. For a scanner in this price range, I expected better reliability.As you can see in the photos I uploaded, the unit powers on but gets stuck without scanning. It’s frustrating to spend $372 on a tool that only lasted a year.Pros:Full-featured with advanced diagnosticsUser-friendly interfaceBidirectional functions worked well while they lastedCons:Stopped scanning after about a yearDurability doesn’t match the $372 price

Thought I’d gotten more from this working on a 2012 Nissan. Cheaper devices give the same results from my experience
