Review: Great scanner amazing price - The Launch OBD2 Scanner CR529 is a handy tool for diagnosing and clearing engine problems on most OBD2-compliant vehicles. It has a 2.8-inch color screen that displays the codes and live data in an easy-to-read format. It also has a one-click I/M readiness button that shows the emission status of the vehicle with red, yellow, and green indicators. The scanner can read and erase generic, manufacturer-specific, and pending codes and freeze frame data and VIN information. It can also perform O2 sensor tests, onboard monitor tests, and component tests. The scanner comes with a USB cable for updating the software online for free. The scanner is easy to use, just plug it into the OBD2 port and follow the instructions on the screen. It also has a help button that provides tips and definitions for the codes. The scanner is compact, durable, and has a protective case for storage. The Launch OBD2 Scanner CR529 is a great choice for anyone who wants to troubleshoot and fix engine issues on their own. This scanner has found hidden codes in my vehicle’s memory that other scanners could not. I have been testing it for a few weeks now and it does not disappoint. A great scanner at a low price.
Review: Easy to use! - Within 20 minutes of receiving this scanner, I had it updated with the most recent software update and was scanning data from my 2005 Cadillac DeVille. The system on this scanner was easy to navigate and understand. It doesn't just give you the codes, it also has a help feature to give you some ideas of what exactly could be causing the codes. The live info it displays is accurate, matching the information on my car's display menus, only it fluctuates more because it has more of a "real time" reading than the car's display menus. I was able to read vehicle speed, engine rpms, coolant temperature, and even information about the fuel system. I couldn't be more pleased. It also has a lot of other features I didn't mention because my vehicle doesn't support the features. I got this on sale for $31, but even for $45.99 regular price, it's still worth every penny for the at-home DIY mechanic, or even if you just want to save money on diagnostic readings before taking it to your local shop/dealer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I nice handheld code reader and reasonably priced.
*by A***R on May 21, 2021*

I bought this unit to to get an upgrade that I can use at home and on vacations. The unit came intact and in good shape. The instructions were minimal so I had to download the manual from the internet to truly understand all the features. The unit has a 42 inch extension cord which is helpful in reviewing the reader information while sitting in the drivers seat. I plugged it into my Honda Odyssey and it was easy to use, showing that all emission controls and monitors were operating satisfactorily. Overall I'm happy with the purchase and it should serve the purpose I had intended it for in the future.
