LAUNCHDiagnostic Tool Creader VII+ Car Code Reader EOBD, OBD2 Scanner Scan Tool Testing Engine/Transmission/ABS/ Airbag System Update via PC

Firstly and most Importantly once the machine is updated ( pain to update )It will work on ant number of cars ..A lot of the alternative machines let you do one car free and then you need to pay for each extra vehicle , this one is unlocked and after the update you never need plug into pc again ..The first use update I found tricky and the machine will do nothing without it ..I don't know why it does not come ready to use. Got there after 40 mins fiddling and downloading files etc.It identified every fault in my corsa airbag system in detail ..I tried on a renault that had a bad connection on the airbag system it identified exactly wich plug was causing the problem.That ability is what you would expect on a much more expensive machine I have had many and this is about the most accurate so far.The live data is a feature even a basic elm would give so you probably will not be buying for that purpose .The machine was able to clear every fault I've thrown at it so far. I unplugged various sensors and connections to test the machines accuracy and it was spot on every time. The screen is not large but easy to read and the buttons are very responsive. It also navigates through the menus without any noticeable lag and delays like some machines .Overall I would say the best in its price range for functionality, once you get passed the tricky initial setup the machine is easy to use and quick to select any car at no additional costs .Most of its competitors have much less information and hidden additional charges.Especially good for srs and abs diagnosticYou won't get anything that works this well in same price range .Some have better screens and work out of the box but have downsides this does not have.On a final note the range of cars supported is much larger than stated in the listing and I could not find one that was not supported.

Brilliant! Anyone who's in the know knows that Honda's are notorious for fault finding with OBD readers but this one found the ABS fault, told me which wheel speed sensor was faulty and cleared the VSA/ ABS fault. Also told me that my wife's touran had a faulty oil pressure sensor, easy fix.And it comes all ready to go out of the box , I see lots of comments saying it's a nightmare to get setup but it says in the instructions that the software is all pre installed so they must have changed this.

The famous YouTube mechanic Scotty Kilmer was right about this one! None of the code readers I tried, even those 3x the price and similarly, couldn read the ABS fault code on my 2008 Honda Jazz! I did return all of them previously. This one did it, it is a faulty motor in ABS module. This one is a keeper and it is not going back. Updating was straight forward using the included guide. So glad I came across this random short video from Scotty who pointed me to this one! Garage wanted £40 to diagnose the fault, so in practice this code reader already saved me £40 + I will be able to replace the faulty ABS module myself with, using exchange service on Ebay where they post you a refurbished one, and you send them your old one back. Possibly hundreds saved right there!

My husband doesn't have a computer and had to get our son in law to download multiple apps on his smart phone to be able to use it. You need to be technically savvy and he isn't. Had to take car to garage in the end for a cost of £550.But now he has the apps on phone he'll be able to diagnose what is wrong before taking it to the garage.

I just have a little worry about this tool would not clear the abs codes in my Mustang. The light has abs light on for several days. But my friend's code reader would not work on my car, and it is a little expensive if I go to the local repair shop. I decide to buy a diagnostic tool, after I saw many on Amazon, this one is affordable and easy to use. Item arrived than I expected, and follow the instructions, no issues in updating the software, cleared the codes in my car, it didn't let me down. All in all, it is good and solid.

I received this unit today and am trying to register an account. This item, Creader VII+ does not appear on the web site, is it obsolete?. Despite trying to register, with verification code, I'm going round in circles, "Unregistered users need to log in with a verification code", go to register and I get "you already have an account-sign in" which I've just done and getting nowhere. Unable to log in, I can't download the update. So I'm going to have to use this as-is and Life Time updates are a joke.

Awesome car scannerI know about the car scanner a lot as I diagnose all kinds of vehicles in my garage. It seems it can diagnose a lots of vehicles from Asia, Europe and America. I use this scanner in my work, it works great, can read and clear DTCs, really help me a lot.

Cannot download the software to upgrade. Cannot access most features as not supported comes up was better off with a basic OBD reader
