LAUNCH Creader VII+ V2.0 OBD2 Scanner, 2025 New Engine/Transmission/ABS/SRS Diagnostic Scan Tool With Oil Reset/Throttle Adaption/SAS Relearn, Check Engine Code Reader, Full OBD2, Lifetime Free Update

Works well after about 6 years

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.

This device works well for what it does. However I was expecting more from it, such as brake resetting and more complex operations. I use it for simple operations such as resetting faults.

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).

Total junk. Won’t read any codes. I had codes on my truck and it said there was no codes. Downloaded the software to my computer but it wouldn’t transfer to the scanner. It says it does abs, but that wasn’t there either. Would not recommend

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.

Good

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.
