Review on πŸš— LAUNCH X431 Creader VII+ Car Code Reader: Advanced EOBD, OBD2 Scanner for Engine/Transmission/ABS/Airbag System Testing & PC Updates by Chad Siofele

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works as advertised, feels sturdy and fast.

So far so good with this reader. It has a lot of detailed information about my 2012 Camry. This cleared an error code for me which (hopefully) seems to have fixed my intermittent problems. The only thing that was a bit strange was the update function. It wasn't very difficult, just a bit confusing and required entering a long URL to find the correct page to download the update. There are also no detailed instructions for the process, but it's easy to figure out once you find the right page to download the updates. I can verify if it was updated correctly in Windows 10 Home Edition, there just isn't a link for that OS, only Windows XP, 7 and 8. I'm not sure if it's possible, but it would be useful to have a link as well to have the readings that should be on different modules. Basically what is in the spec and when it isn't, temperature, pressure etc. Now I have lots of information on hand, just not much reference unless I'm flashing code. All in all I would recommend it.

Pros
  • Solid design
Cons
  • Modern
