This seemed to work well on both my 2008 nissan and my 2013 mercedes. With both I was able to pull an codes and clear them. I was also able to pull real time stats from both vehicles.the interface is intuitive enough that I was able to move through most features without the need to read the instructions.There is also a information menu in this that gives you common causes to some engine codes.the only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because I can't seem to get the update tool to download. There is a card enclosed with a web location to it, but on that page, clicking on the link to the update tool, takes you to a 404 error.If there was no mention of updates or the card with a link to where it may be, I probably would have given this 5 stars as everything seems to work as expected. My only concerns come from my perception I may be missing out on something in updates.[UPDATE]Support got back to me the day after I had mentioned with a good link to the update tool.what I had received in my order was running a very recent version of what was available.

Works well after about 6 years

I own two gm vehicles and this unit takes care of the problems I was seeking.Last used on my 99 Tahoe 5.7L to adjust the timing to the CMP retard.Well worth the investment.This unit already paid for itself after a couple of uses instead of taking it to a mechanic shop.Make the updates and registration to get the latest product codes and software.

I bought this since I wanted something not too expensive where I can check out the car with no issues and this item is actually pretty good for its price. I haven’t used it to it’s full capacity but for around $140-$150 it isn’t bad. I see technicians use this also just to read code

I’ve had some troubles with a couple of our vehicles. One was abs related and this appeared to be the better option for the price. I updated it with no problems once I received it and went straight to work. Diagnosed two vehicles with more depth than I had hoped for. The only complaint I have is the lack of directions but a quick YouTube trip cleared it up quick.

Perfect buy for me. I diagnosed my car with in mins and read the codes and cleared the codes. I used it for my 2004 volvo s60r.Car runs just fine. Last diagnosis I took it to a shop and they charged me $150. So I spent my money on this and i do the same as the shop for free now. Thanks for a great product

This ODD2 scanner is the perfect tool for any backyard mechanic. I was having issues with my ABS in my truck and couldn't figure it out. This scanner ran a diagnostic and found one of my wheel hub sensors wasn't working. I replaced the sensor and reset my ABS light havent had an issue since.The only thing i would suggest is for them to have a better link for the website to update the scanner, besides that i highly recommend it.

It has a so reasonable price that I just decided to buy this to use for my car rather than going to the shop and having them tell me that I have a gazillion things wrong with my car. As claimed, this car scanner can be used to read the diagnostic trouble code and analyze the running status of my car. When there is some trouble with my car’s Engine, transmission, ABS and SRS, it will show me the diagnostic trouble codes and tell me the meaning of the code. With reference to the live data stream, I can also timely identify potential faults before it develops to serious malfunctions. It is unnecessary to worry that you can’t understand the parameters because the format of the information can be changed in the chart, graph, etc. modes according to actual needs. It’s definitely a great investment in my view, if you are looking for a cost-effective car scanner, I’ll recommend the LAUNCH VII+.

I have tried and tested the LAUNCH VII+ this week and I am very happy to report that it worked very well. On my BMW 3 Series F30, I was able to diagnose and turned off the ABS/Traction warning lights which turned out to be a faulty ABS sensor. My BMW 3 series also had a faulty parking sensor which has been diagnosed and replaced. The second car I tested is a Subaru Legacy, and I was able to reset the service message and the check engine light. These jobs at the garage would reach hundreds of $$$ in total, however, this diagnostic scan tool has allowed me to do all of the works myself, so I am very pleased with it. Overall, it is a very nice and well-made diagnostic tool that has a broad array of diagnostic functions for home users or DIYers to perform complex tasks (system diagnostics).

I went with this particular reader after a lot of research and comparing. Basically I wanted something for my old Mercedes that could also be used for other cars in the family. I was tired of paying over $500 per visit to the mechanic (magically every problem, no matter how big or small, cost about the same to fix, hmmmm fishy). This was a terrific investment. I no longer need to go to the mechanic for most issues. I can figure out the codes and get the parts I need to replace myself. If a little complicated, I can outsource the labor to a mechanic. Recently it caught an issue that occurred a day after I brought the car from the mechanic. After coughing over ~$900, i refused to take it back cause surely I'd have to pay more to get this fixed. Well, thanks to this device, figured out it was a small hose that was yanked out of its place. I put it back in, cleared the code, and it never came back. I see myself saving thousands in the long run with this. Just wish I thought of getting it sooner.

I had one already. I bought this one for a friend. The android wireless unit is about worthless unless you buy the software from the Google play store as the included software on the cd does not work with the newer generation galaxy note 5. Still a 5 star tool with a 6 star price tag. I can't ding them on the free iteration.

The only issue i had was, i have windows 8 and couldn't find the correct site to download info to set it up, so i had to go to my neighbors and use her computer with windows 10.

ABS/SRS: if you have problems or codes grab this.It will pay for itself and keep you from paying on average 55-75 to do a diagnostic test.I found out two codes and the problem just today. They are minor fixes. Beats giving the dealer mad dough to figure it out.

Awesome code reader

has saved me on buying a car that it diagnosed with a misfire on a cylinder. could have been nothing, could have been something major. but a 15k risk was adverted by this unit, an amazing product if you can figure out how to read the info it's relaying to you

Good

No doubt, Launch makes great products, and it is very useful when performing diagnosing issues in the car. But, personally, I think XTOOL is a winner in terms of offering a Bi-Directional diagnostic A30 series scanner with service functions at the same price point. Though the XTOOL A30 series doesn't come with a screen, but who doesn't have a smartphone these days.

I’ve bought this scanner last month and it is very easy to use. Accurate on the problem that my car had. I really recommend this product to anyone with little or no experience. 👍🏼

Had an issue with ABS lights on (2006 Toyota 4runner). I have a basic OBD II code reader that does not read/diagnose ABS or airbag systems. Got the Creader Launch VII + .I followed the update instructions then diagnosed the ABS system.The scanner gave me a code for a defective brake light switch. I replaced the $15.00 switch. No more ABS lights!!! It would have cost me a lot more to take the car in to a shop to have them diagnose the problem and then replace the defective switch.

Swapped my 2015 Evo X seats to Recaros and got the dreaded airbag light. This cleared it right up after I swapped the sensors. I also use it for my T1N Sprinter and it's awesome.

I needed to be able to read transmission temps to do service on my 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan (62TE trans) and 2015 Ram 1500 (ZF8 trans)Service isn't that hard but you must know the temprature to do it properly, this scanner did that and so much more! Will pay for itself in one job, dealer wants 1000$ for the trans service on the Ram 1500.

I love it it's got a lot of functions on it other ones don't have for really great price I wouldn't think twice if somebody wanted to buy one to tell them this one is a really good one to buy it the covers a lot of things that more expensive ones will do and and more probably more on it than when I really need but it's a real good quality so far and I am quite pleased with it and would recommend it to anybody that was interested or needed to buy one so that's all

Works great on all cars would definitely buy again.Update: My husband has been using this since 2018 and it's still going strong. He uses it for our Mobile Mechanic Company as well as a Tow Company. He likes it so well, he bought our son one to carry in his vehicle. We definitely recommend this product.

It’s easy to find a scanner that can read codes, but what I want is a scanner that can help me read codes in Engine, Transmission, and ABS/SRS systems. Launch creader VII+ obd2 scanner is exactly the one I hope to get and thanks to this device, dealing with some simple vehicle problems seem not as difficult as I expected. The diagnostic process can refer to the following steps - Plug it in the OBD port, read the diagnostic trouble codes, locate the error place, get the problem solved, clear the diagnostic trouble code and finally, the warning light can be turned off automatically.

I bought this for use with a 2005 Dodge Magnum, in order to read Transmission codes, and this scanner did not disappoint. In addition to reading both ECM and TCM codes, this scanner can provide data of everything that goes on in the engine / transmission systems in real-time.The interface is a little silly, with only four buttons required for any use, but it's easy to handle and reads plainly and clearly.The initial cost is a penny and a bit, but it'll save you trips to the shop for diagnostic work, and if you're a DIY'er like I am, you won't have to hunt for the problem.

I needed an upgrade from my Innova 3100.Newer cars I work on need ABS/SRS capabilities.I plugged the C reader into my old car and was able to repair the car from a code stored a long time ago.

Got this because airbag light was on in 07 corolla. This was able to read and clear the codes right outta the box, no update or registering needed. Was able to use it’s clear function to diagnose a bad clock spring by shorting the squibs. Thing is very fast too. Read all the historical stuff too, good to see if buying used car. This will pay for itself 10 times over. Just be sure your car is in the list of supported cars. Was very intuitive, no instructions needeed. And the person who said it was doa and wouldnt stay charged... uh there isnt an internal battery bud. It never said it would do those things. It runs on your cars battery and saves data to a micro card your pc can read later if you wanted. Never needed the card. I get enough info from the scan tool itself.
