Launch UK/Europe Scan Tool Vs Launch China/ Amazon

Here I show the difference between UK/EUROPE & China/Amazon imports

I've found your videos really helpful to understand and look after the DPF. For me I just want to read the pressures, soot content, regen statuses, UREA and PAT levels, to work with it for longevity. It's a minefield trying to find a device that does this kind of simple stuff without the features a full garage would use on multiple vehicles. Thanks again for all you do, it is much appreciated, you seem to be quite unique in your logical progress to find a fault rather than swap all kinds of random stuff hoping to strike lucky like a lot of garages seem to.

That crp129evo is a beast of a tool and so Super quick grab and go diag and also powerfull entry level tool for anybody

[matthewjackson]

My 129 v2.0 only had two days left on the returns period, i was getting frustrated that I could get it to do very little other that read codes. Now I’ve been able to return it to buy the evo. Much appreciated

[pauloutten]

Thanks Jimmy you're a star. Thanks for taking the time to explain this.

I bought an Amazon Launch CRP129 product as it was a lot cheaper than the Launch UK equivalent. As Jimmy points out in this video, you get what you pay for! A lot of the functions that I wanted like injector coding “appeared” to be included in the Amazon product but when I went to use it, it was an optional payment to get it. Moral of the story, buy it from the UK website if you want a basic DIY tool that’ll do what you want. However this particular model is painfully slow!

Excellent comparison video, Jimmy. Thanks very much for making and posting it. Very helpful.

[MrByootox]

It's a similar story with the Autel as well. I paid more for my UK version 909 but i get the support when something goes wrong.

[paulbeedle]

I have the UK version. Excellent machine, it has paid for itself 3 times over. Also big thumbs up to launch UK they helped me out with a few questions at the start, easy to contact and very knowledgeable. I also have the neighbours knocking on my door if they have an engine management light on😂.

[faroukkhan]

Thanks Jimmy for all your help and work, , excellent 👌 have a great week

I’m looking into purchasing the X431 PRO3S £900 on eBay but a big risk to take for no support so something to think about that’s forsure

[micksparrow]

I wish I’d found your channel before I bought my Topdon artidiag lite 900. I’ve got a Fiat Ducato motorhome after buying the tool off eBay I found out I couldn’t reset the codes unless I bought a gateway bypass cable. When I did buy one it still doesn’t give me the functionality I expected. I then bought a years subscription with AutoAuth £38 only to find out I still don’t have the functionality that I thought I was getting. However I can reset the codes once I login through AutoAuth.
I feel the scan tool industry is a nightmare.
By the way your videos are fantastic.

Do all launch UK products have free lifetime updates or is it just the cheaper DIY models?

[G-ra-ha-m]

Thanks for explaining this.
I looked at the launch website before buying my Chinese Elite 2.0 model (without those manual buttons, in orange), and noted that it wasn't there, my comment would be that their website 'lacks information'.
It does say 'watch out for fakes', which is great, but useless with no explanation.

It's also very confusing seeing the various model numbers. The DIY market really perhaps wants what I want, Car specific, Free lifetime updates, for reliable occasionaly use, with the bidirectional and service items.

Even finding the vehicle model coverage is tricky and you have to funt for it, their website needs a small child to explain to them how things should be explained :D

Whats the best scan tool for a DIYer who wouldnt be taking an engine apart, just working on servicing and general work round he car. I would imagine there a different levels of DIYer

[neildean]

I have the LAUNCH CRP129X Elite, and generally it is great. They do confuse me these scanners and i feel that lots of improvements to the basic product offers, interface and software for the home DIYer which i feel could be made. Who would i write to because i have some great ideas, ps i live in Europe and not UK, thanks Jimmy, this helped a lot

[MultiVogon]

Yeah I bought the evo (UK one) based on your videos ages ago. It was a bit of a nightmare to be sure it was the right one, with so many similarly named models. Got it via Launch UK directly in the end. Have been happy with it so far and it has regular software updates.

I think anyone with a modern diesel HAS to have some kind of decent scan tool these days, as has been proved time and again in your videos.

[garaza]

Thank you! I always wondered what’s the difference.

[SeEduard]

Hi Jimmy! Please, could you add the Lunch Europe website? There are so many there and can't seem to figure out which is the official one from where someone can purchase a diagnostic tool

[kennymain]

Got a cheap launch from amazon delivered on friday for my 2023 citroen relay, it was sent back on saturday awful machine compared to a similar original launch uk that i was able to use,
went to use the so called mall to download jaguar software only to find it only covers land rover vehicles even though it was saying it was for both.

I know citroen can be fussy with diagnostics but im going to splash cash and get x431 pro elite just waiting on feedback from launch uk

[GR-uyhx]

If dont need to do cars after 2021 ( no updates avail ) and cash a little tight Delphi China single motherboard (has better relays ) with the software will get you by. If you have a laptop already win 10. The setup this will cost £80 or less. Does regens, all the modules, just thought.
