- 2026 LAUNCH Creader Elite V2.0 fit for Mercedes-Benz MB Sprinter Maybach Bi-Directional Scan Tool, OBD2 Scanner, Full System Diagnostic, All Reset Service, ECU Code, Auto Vin, Lifetime Free Update

The Launch Creader scanner V2.0 is a great tool for DIY and comes with 2-year warranty and lifetime software updates. It is very portable - not too big or too small, seems to be very solid, and does not require a phone or tablet to use it. I bought the one for Honda/Acura; it is working great and is decently fast. It is important to read the portion of the manual about initial use and updating the scanner before hooking it to your car. Once you do that, you should be good to go. The scanner includes tons of options and reset services; some I may never use. However, it reveals issues with my car that have not yet triggered a check engine light. I was able to confirm that my window motor works using special functions, gathered more info about an ABS light, and finally figured out the reason behind the TPMS light. In today’s world, having an idea about your car issues can save you a lot in diagnostic fees. For this price tag, I think that this is definitely a good investment since performance does not appear to be an issue with this device. Although this scanner is vehicle brand based, you have the option to purchase other vehicle softwares if you own other vehicle brands. Nonetheless, I feel like the scanner screen could have been bigger (no reason why it is not as wide as the entire front). Also, exporting reports/documents could have been made easier (they come as a link in an email). It is worth noting that a carrying case for the scanner would have been very helpful. In any event, this scanner can be rated 4.5 out of 5.

I asked a family member to get this for me for Christmas 2024 to replace an older, slower and less capable scan tool. I have used this product exclusively as my scanner of choice every since. We are a Honda family with 4 vehicles. 2007 Honda Civic Si Sedan, 2009 Honda Civic Coupe LX, 2014 Honda CR-V EX 2WD, 2022 Honda Civic Si Sedan. The year of the vehicle and the functions that the car supports can vary. For instance the 2022 Civic Si has a multitude of functions that the older vehicles do not support. Regardless this tool is invaluable to check: Mass Air Flow sensor, Coolant Temperature, this comes extremely handy when changing engine coolant to know when the vehicle is at operating temperature. Engine RPM, Fuel Trims to monitor the amount of fuel an engine receives. The Onboard Board Monitors help to see where you are at with Smog related monitors. Especially if you are car enthusiast and like to work on your own cars this can be critical to making sure these are ALL running prior making your smog check. This is reset if you have to unhook the battery. Also handy to use to see if someone has recently reset the battery or cleared any codes recently if you are looking for a used car. The special functions menu is nice as the software controls Honda specific controls for the vehicle(s) I can run a Health Scan to see if there is any DTC's (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) stored in the system but maybe not visible YET as a CEL (Check Engine Light) One function that I see with the 2022 Honda Civic Si is the ability to put the rear electric brakes in maintenance mode so l can change the pads and or rotors as needed. One function that will work ACROSS the board with all our Honda vehicles is the Throttle Body Relearn. This is needed after you clean the throttle body so that it knows the correct position to avoid a high engine idle after a cleaning. I will be using this function quite a bit with 4 Honda vehicles in the household. I also like that not only is the OBDC generic software continually updated so is the Honda specific software to fix issues and support newer model vehicles the current version I received is Honda V49.60, the updates are free and never a charge for it. It seems that every time I check there is new versions to download and install. There is also a special function to program new immobilizer (keys) I am in the process to find out if it will work with any of our Honda vehicles. I am a DIY home mechanic and love this tool and find it as valuable as any wrench, socket or screwdriver in my tool set. If you need a GOOD scanner on a budget this is definitely it!

Bought this to help diagnose trouble with a sliding door on a 2009 Toyota sienna. Got it fixed before the scanner got delivered. This is like having techstream it has helped me diagnose air bag issues and shows resistance valves that show which one is causing the light to come on shows tire pressure and temperature in your tires. I haven’t gotten into all the scanner can do but it’s a perfect girt for a diy er. Easy to use auto detect works good. Can buy more vehicle selection in the mall and lifetime updates. For free. It you buy more vehicles in the mall, you have to renew yearly and update are free within that year. Compact. Can keep in your toolbox or glovebox and can email diagnostic reports and activate different components for diagnostics. Overall worth the money

Very complicated to use. Expensive to maintain. Dont let the low price trick you. It's very deceiving. You will need to spend money for every brand of care. Needs constant updating, so it's always connected to wifi. TBH, it feels like a data harvesting scam. I can't pick it up, turn it on and just use it without updating it, and the updates are slow to download. ****UPDATE**** I gave this scanner another chance, hoping that I could get the hang of it. After several hours, and using it on 2 different types of Mercedes-benz from 2010 and 2017 I realized that it's not me. The software is subpar and doesn't do what it's advertised to do. It's basically a glorified OBD2 scanner. I decided to return the item.

Used this obd device to program a key fob for my 2004 tundra. Worked great. The menus are a bit troublesome to get to. Not all options are available, like controlling seat belt warning light. Neither was is on a tech stream program running off a windows 10 laptop running virtual won xp and tech stream. Worth the money and EASY to use with comprehensive info for Toyota and lexus

Great product at a great price product arrived in perfect condition and on time.

After a year of test n trial.. Menu is very difficult to approach certain task. Not useful at all.if compare to its price. Slow in connection.. Worst part is updates are very much slow..if it comes then u have to do all cars like honda, Toyota..masarati...suzuki...nisan....why???...i bought it only for Toyota and when it gives option to tick n select then why cant we deselect it...why its necessary to do all together....utterly stupid software. It wastes a lot of time n efforts.

Very fast, very good, very capable with Hondas but might not be able to do everything (I don't think it can do windshield camera calibration or key programming). Also the cord is very short so if you're going to get one of these, do yourself a favor and get an OBDII extension cable and thank me later. If you work professionally with Hondas as I do, you'll get a lot of use out of this. 5/5

I have a Ridgeline and TLX. been wanting a bidirectional tool for a while seen this on sale and bought it. It's a little bit of a learning curve to use but has helped troubleshoot a couple of problems already. Definitely worth the purchase if you own Honda and Acura and drive them forever like us.

Was not very easy to set it up. Requires WiFi Internet connection and pushed for an update. After updates did not work right, but there is a way to re-set it. After re-setting worked fine. Did the job correctly and re-set my Acura transmission perfectly. Notice that only Acura and Honda is supported, but you can also add other brands for extra (monthly) fees.
