No bi-directional control for 2004 and older GM vehicles.

This is a great car diagnostic tool and like most other modern Android based tools it was designed for 2008 and newer cars. For all vehicles older than 2008 you can only expect engine, transmission, ABS codes and live data. It has the ability to pump ABS, in every respect it will win or compete with other leading brands. Most features apply to 2013-2020 vehicles. If it is an original device, the software is the same as the starting torque of the US model, only a smaller screen and a different type of hardware. The OBD1 connectors are included there just for decoration or to make you feel like you're getting a lot of stuff for your money. The case is good. All well done. This type of device comes from parent company Lauch Tech in China, where all Launch scanners are manufactured. Different models are sold in different markets (countries) and the technical support provided differs in each market. I sent mine back because I was never able to register it on the Chinese CN Launch website and since this model is not offered in the US there is no support. I also suspect the one I received was fake because China Launch Tech didn't recognize the serial number meaning they didn't make it. So be careful where you buy your device. I recommend buying it from the Revain Launch Store. If you are unable to register your device on the CN Launch Tech website, you will also be unable to download the diagnostic software APK file. So if you do a hard reset, it will be erased. Diagnostic software and you're left with just one brick. Another reason I sent it back. I will purchase another model directly from CN Launch. one that beats the torque but is in 3rd place.
