Great and Fast - Tools and Gear

I import repairs and sometimes I need a scanner to quickly diagnose OBD II cars because the more complex ones I have were $1500-3000 each, slow but extremely thorough, with many features that make it particularly useful. However, the CRP123 interacts incredibly quickly with the car's computer and can perform diagnostics on par with expensive scanners. This scanner is especially useful when a customer wants to know what to expect when they bring their vehicle in need of a scan to give them a rough estimate of the cost of repairs. and PID but can also use manufacturer specific data to get their own manufacturer specific data finding DTCs that don't even include the MIL (Check Engine Indicator). The scanner is a "read-only" device that doesn't offer two-way communication like $500+ scanners, meaning you can't use this tool to activate or reprogram the vehicle's systems, but nonetheless, this is the best device I've seen for diagnostics for less than $200 and by far the fastest! If there was one downside, it was that the instructions sent you to the old website to update and register the built-in device (you get lifetime updates, which cost $500 each). year for my loved ones). But if you do a google search you can find the right website. There is an "800" number for help, but googling was quicker for me.
