0:00Welcome to W's Repairs. I'm W the Fixing
0:02Elf, and this is what's in my toolbox,
0:04the series where I show you the tools I
0:05use to repair cars and fix things. So
0:08let's find out what's in my toolbox
0:09today. And in this installment, we have
0:12the Launch
0:14CV 123 E version 3, which is very kindly
0:18sent to me
0:20by the fine folks over at Kingbolen. So
0:22I'd like to thank them for that, thank
0:23them for supporting the channel.
0:26So this is a sponsored video as such.
0:28Have sent me this free to review,
0:31but obviously all my opinions will be
0:32the same, and it won't wouldn't matter
0:34if I purchased with my own money, you're
0:36going to get the same honest independent
0:38review.
0:41The first thing I want to talk about
0:42this device is it's fairly quick booting
0:43up.
0:45And while it's booting up, we'll just
0:46pop over in the background there and
0:47look what comes in the case. You also
0:49get in the box
0:50the little instruction manuals,
0:53information that's worth
0:55reading, so bear in mind. Look for the
0:57read before you start.
0:59Fairly interesting.
1:00And again, if you don't understand what
1:02I said just earlier, there is the name
1:03of the product.
1:06And there will be a link down in the
1:07description if you want to pick this up.
1:09So
1:10you can check that out.
1:14And then we have the cable, and we also
1:15have a USB C cable, because this can be
1:18charged two ways.
1:20So it can charge via the USB C with this
1:22cable here, which I haven't actually
1:23used. I usually use the one I have in
1:25the car or the one I've got on the desk.
1:27Pretty much what you charge your phone
1:28with nowadays is what you charge this
1:30with. And you see it's already booted
1:31up. And then obviously this is your USB,
1:34your OBD2 lead, which plugs into the top
1:36here. Get on the connection. So you've
1:37got your USB C,
1:39your
1:41um connection serial port,
1:44and your power port, power button. And
1:46on here we obviously have all the
1:47different menus. I won't plug this in.
1:49I'll show you this plugged in a minute.
1:50We'll put that before we go any further.
1:52It just has this really nice
1:55cover to stop dust and that getting in
1:57the port.
1:58Screen does time out, okay? But it's a
2:00nice 5-inch display
2:02and it's fairly nice.
2:03Fairly powerful powerful and quick
2:05device.
2:08And so
2:09won't click on that first. We'll come to
2:11that in a second. So you have all your
2:13functions. So let's go through them
2:15quickly.
2:16So you have your diagnose function.
2:18Obviously you need this plugged in and
2:19this can diagnose all your cars and it
2:21covers a massive range of cars
2:26from all over the world. So wherever you
2:28live in the world I'm pretty certain
2:29you're going to be covered by this
2:30device.
2:32And yeah.
2:33Some cars I never heard of. Some brands
2:35I have heard of. Vauxhall and Citroen
2:38and Peugeot on here.
2:39As well as Ford and
2:42GM and Honda Hyundai or Honda or Kia as
2:45well.
2:46Lots of different ones.
2:48So very handy to have.
2:50Obviously got an intelligent intelligent
2:51diagnose feature. More on that later.
2:53You also got your IM and your
2:55auto app. You also got a demo mode. I
2:57will be coming back to show you guys
2:58that in just a minute.
3:01So then we have special functions. This
3:03comes pre-loaded with seven special
3:04functions out the back. You can buy more
3:07from the shop. The mall as it's called
3:09on here. I'll show you that in just a
3:10moment.
3:11But yeah you got brake reset, wheel
3:12reset, airbag reset, battery reset, ABS
3:16bleeding,
3:17electric throttle relearn and DPF
3:19relearn.
3:20All fairly common and fairly well used
3:22thing and part of the benefits of
3:25the price of this is they cut some
3:27corners by doing stuff like that and
3:29giving you less functions out the back
3:30but it does make the device cheaper and
3:32from what I've used it for I've had it
3:34for about
3:36three or four weeks by now. So
3:39quite can't remember exactly that time
3:40but they've given me plenty of time to
3:41review it. They haven't rushed me so I'm
3:43very pleased with that. Again thank you
3:44to King Bolen for sending this to me.
3:47And obviously thank you to everyone else
3:48for what you've watching this video.
3:50Your support has made this sort of video
3:52possible and obviously in the other
3:53modules you have the TPMS reset
3:56and a battery 360. You need an
3:58additional add-on device for that. I
4:00haven't got that so I can't really tell
4:01you too much about that.
4:04And then we have the software update,
4:05and it updates fairly quickly. When you
4:07do get this out the box, it takes about
4:1020 25 minutes to set up
4:13and start downloading the updates.
4:15There's always new updates, [snorts] but
4:16the updates down download fairly
4:18quickly.
4:20Obviously depending on how many updates
4:21you want, and obviously you can select
4:22the updates
4:23that you're particularly after.
4:26I'm going to leave that for just a
4:28second because we don't want to watch
4:29this update, but basically to update
4:31them
4:32is fairly straightforward. I'll come
4:33back and update that after the video.
4:35As you can see, it got new updates, and
4:36it updates fairly quickly. I've had a
4:38couple of updates for a vehicle I use
4:40fairly regularly.
4:42So if we back out of here for a second,
4:45let it just do its sort of thing.
4:47Because if you want to select which one
4:48to update, you can by just doing that.
4:51Let's just update one quickly. Let's
4:52just do the
4:54uh Chrysler, Dodge, and RAM one.
4:57So I just click it on, and
4:59it says you do need you do need an
5:00internet connection for this. Some of
5:02the features you need an internet
5:03connection for, and some of the features
5:04you don't.
5:06Like for some of the diagnosis features,
5:07I noticed you needed in there for, but
5:09others you don't. As you can see, it
5:11picks up the screen fairly well on the
5:13camera. Let me just zoom in so you guys
5:14can have a look bit of a better look
5:16at the screen. It's a really nice
5:17quality screen when you're waiting. And
5:18obviously
5:19when you plug it into the car, you do
5:20have the battery voltage up here. I will
5:22show you right in a minute. And this is
5:23running off its own internal battery,
5:25which recharges, as I said, via USB-C or
5:27thing. And obviously up the top here you
5:29got the time.
5:30And the day I'm recording this, which is
5:32November the 6th.
5:33So filming this a bit earlier than
5:35usual, so you can see it.
5:39And obviously there's your battery life
5:40at the top, and I've used it extensively
5:42and it's
5:43seems to be holding up fairly well. This
5:45is nearly done now, the downloading.
5:48We'll just zoom back out for a second.
5:52And then it installs, and again fairly
5:53quick. Nice one, a nice quick process.
5:55You don't be waiting ages for stuff to
5:57download and update.
6:00And then we go back out.
6:05And then we also have other features. So
6:06we've done this software update. We're
6:08going to move on to the more.
6:12And this is where you can buy additional
6:13updates and also unlock full
6:16bi-directional controls for certain
6:18vehicle models.
6:20So as you can see, you've got a load of
6:21selection. They work out around
6:2350 a year, so I'm not quite sure that is
6:26in pounds. I believe it's around 40 45
6:29pounds, but I could be wrong.
6:31I'm not I favor the transfer the
6:34exchange rates at the moment. You also
6:35get discounts if you buy multiples, so
6:37perfect for if you're in the garage.
6:39But if we look at the reset functions.
6:43So in here, once it loads up, it does
6:45take a little while to load so we got
6:46the immobilizer reset and purchase. You
6:48can buy injector coding.
6:51You can buy gearbox relearn, adblue
6:53resets, all sorts of different ones.
6:55If you need to do a particular job, you
6:57can buy just that particular job.
7:00And it has loads of different features.
7:02You see ECU coding
7:05and air calibrations, all sorts of
7:08different things.
7:09And I will in the future be revisiting
7:11this tool after purchase some of the
7:13additional features.
7:16But at the moment, I'm just going to
7:17show you what it comes like out of the
7:19kit. I don't want to purchase too much
7:20so you guys get misled. So that's why
7:23I'm purposely haven't purchased extra
7:25features because
7:27it do have a lot.
7:29And so many useful things, even some
7:30stuff for EV vehicles, which is quite
7:32useful.
7:34But yeah, I'll probably be getting the
7:36injector coding
7:38fairly soon to compare it to the other
7:40scan tools that I use. And I'll probably
7:42do a head-to-head or something like that
7:43for you guys.
7:45Obviously immobilize resets too.
7:48Other features we got in the um
7:51passenger vehicles, it just gives you
7:53all your different passenger vehicles
7:54that you could possibly imagine.
7:57And you have access to certain vehicles
7:58and this gives you like the full
8:01when you're on here, this will give you
8:03like the on the full function, give you
8:04like the full bi-directional controls
8:06and like you do bit more
8:08in-depth stuff, more the
8:12more difficult stuff and what I've seen
8:14from launch
8:15and from this particular tool. I know
8:18someone who's got one of these is
8:19updated with the
8:21particular software for his vehicle and
8:22it works really well.
8:25So I'm definitely looking forward to
8:26that. I'm probably going to end up
8:27purchasing
8:29the Peugeot one at some point in the
8:30future and the Vauxhall one or the Opel
8:33one
8:34and the Citroen one
8:35because they're vehicles I mainly work
8:36on and possibly the Ford, but like it
8:38does so many different vehicles is
8:40amazing. So it gives you lots of
8:42different things. That's enough about
8:43all the stuff in the mall. Obviously
8:45battery voltage I'll show you in a bit
8:46of footage I've got from in the car cuz
8:49that's probably the best place to start,
8:50but this is it at the moment. It's
8:53car connected, there's no battery
8:54voltage,
8:55but you can do a graph of that. You've
8:57got your profile down here.
8:59So this gives you your account
9:01and then you got my reports so stuff
9:03you've recorded and stuff I've looked
9:05at.
9:07I've clicked the wrong button, bear with
9:08me two seconds. My order so if you
9:10ordered anything off the um
9:12web store
9:14that's where that'll be.
9:15I don't really need to look at that. I
9:17haven't ordered anything just yet.
9:23And so tested a number of different
9:24vehicles
9:25that I've had to hand.
9:28Yeah, this is just your order thing so
9:29if you had any orders they would be just
9:31here, paid, you know all that sort of
9:32stuff.
9:35Useful to know.
9:39Believe that's all the thing. I could be
9:39wrong, but we'll leave that for a
9:41second.
9:43Settings obviously this is where you put
9:44your Wi-Fi on, your units of
9:46measurements, your brightness, your
9:47network connection, your workshop
9:49information.
9:50Recovery you can also clear your cache
9:53and your time zone.
9:55And if you click this button you can
9:56just capture the screen by just having a
9:58burn up there and it will take a little
9:59screenshot, very useful to have for you
10:00to trying to capture data and
10:02information.
10:05I'm going to leave it off for a minute
10:06cuz I've already keep clicking it and
10:08this gives you information about the
10:09device. This is you can see all the
10:11lovely information about this device,
10:13the serial number, the mac address,
10:15how much storage is available. So this
10:17has got 47 gigs on it. Screen
10:19resolution, battery is good,
10:22version, and all sorts of lovely
10:23information on here. And this is a
10:25fairly powerful device, as I've said. It
10:27seems to work be really responsive.
10:29The small screen is quite nice. It's not
10:31too glary, so that's good.
10:33When we move on to the toolbox now.
10:36And yeah, we can talk for a while about
10:37this. This just gives you like
10:38some extra diagnostic history. That's
10:41pretty self-explanatory.
10:43Diagnose your software clear. So if it's
10:45a particular piece of software that you
10:47don't want to be on here, for instance,
10:50say for instance you don't ever work on
10:54Fiat in Brazil, you can select this one
10:56and you can delete it. Let's just delete
10:58this one off.
11:00And then it's gone.
11:02And that freed up a bit more memory on
11:04the device for future updates.
11:06We also have a firmware fix. This is for
11:10if your VCI didn't work, you can plug it
11:13in and fix it. And that's pretty
11:15helpful.
11:18Keep the VCI powered up for this thing
11:20here.
11:21Or it might be for wireless, I'm not
11:22sure, but
11:24just I haven't really gone too deep into
11:26that. We've got DTC looking at codes. So
11:27if you want to pop pop in a code, so go
11:31one
11:35three zero zero
11:37and for
11:39we'll go for two, why not?
11:42And that is boost
11:44code.
11:45So it just gives you a bit of
11:46information on the code so you can look
11:47up codes and see what they are roughly.
11:50We also feature that you can look up
11:52stuff online, which is pretty cool. I'll
11:53show you in a demo mode in just a
11:54second.
11:55Uh we've got DLC, so it shows you
11:57roughly where your
11:59different ports will be. Very handy.
12:02Feedback.
12:03Uh
12:05FAQs.
12:10And we can do that.
12:12Just about sending information. We got
12:13images as well. So this is from the
12:15screen we captured a minute ago.
12:17So you can look at that.
12:18It's pretty good. So if you capture
12:19screenshots of like data and stuff,
12:21that's where you find that.
12:23And also you can transfer that off and
12:25send that away as well, which is pretty
12:26good.
12:28And we've got more as well. So in more
12:30we've got online services. So this would
12:32need an internet connection.
12:37And there's plenty to this device.
12:40And this is going to be a fairly long
12:41video because there's lots to go over
12:43and lots to go through.
12:48And let's have a quick look at this.
12:51Obviously it's a fairly new device to
12:53me. I've given it a thorough test, at
12:54least enough to um
12:58And this will get AI supported, so
12:59that's pretty handy.
13:00If you want to use that first you get
13:02Launch Academy too. That's another cool
13:03feature.
13:04But go back to the demo mode quickly and
13:06I'll show you a few little features I
13:07want to show you guys. So if we click on
13:08demo
13:10and then click okay,
13:12it'll come up.
13:13And we'll pick a vehicle like random. So
13:15let's go
13:18Honda.
13:19Why not? Let's let's look at a Honda.
13:22And if we click on Health Report, it'll
13:24scan this ten system
13:26and it'll give you access to access
13:28different features.
13:30So I want to click on here.
13:32Can read the fault codes. And this is
13:34where you can code search. So if you got
13:36this connected to the internet when
13:37you're doing that,
13:39you can code search and then it will
13:40load up a web page
13:42where it searches the code for you. Then
13:44it gives you Google.
13:46And then you go through here.
13:48And you can also find like videos on
13:50this.
13:51It's pretty good.
13:53So it gives you little expert help to
13:54find my videos hopefully
13:56be on some of the cars that you guys are
13:58searching for.
14:01But yeah, plenty of
14:03extra features.
14:05And let's show more as well. So you know
14:12Uh I've clicked on something I don't
14:13want to click on. So we won't bother
14:15with that. Yeah.
14:17Certainly gives lots of extra
14:18information.
14:20They're very useful for looking up codes
14:21that you're not familiar with.
14:25It gives you a bit of extra information
14:26as well as the little
14:28description you get in here.
14:30Click help as well.
14:33And it'll give you some extra things. So
14:34click okay. So you click help and then
14:36details will load up.
14:39Some extra information for you guys.
14:44And then there's your little extra
14:45information.
14:49So very useful
14:51that.
14:54You can also click on this button here
14:55that says vehicle test. So this will
14:57come up and it'll give you like a full
14:58report. I've got a better bit better of
15:00this actually offer a real vehicle. So
15:03you see this gives you all the
15:04information on the vehicle.
15:06Faults
15:07etc.
15:09And it gives you a general little
15:10overview of the vehicle, which is quite
15:12good.
15:13And if you click on this button,
15:15you can share report
15:16or you can compare the report. So very
15:19useful.
15:20If you share the report, you can put it
15:22in a customer's email address or a
15:23friend's email address and send it off.
15:27That's pretty good. I'm going to show
15:29you guys
15:30the
15:31in action now
15:32and then we'll come back
15:34and we'll talk some more about this
15:35lovely tool.
15:36So here we are in the car and this is
15:38the Citroen.
15:40The first of two cars I'm showing you
15:42guys
15:43this lovely device in.
15:45So here's the device itself. Let me just
15:46quickly turn on the ignition.
15:50Now we've got the ignition and you see
15:52battery voltage here and if you click on
15:53battery voltage,
15:55it'll give you
15:56a nice steady battery voltage and if you
15:57start the car,
16:02should see it
16:03dip and then spike as you can see.
16:06Now we've got 13.2.
16:07Let me just charge the battery. Let me
16:09just turn the ignition back off now and
16:11back onto that.
16:13So that's the battery testing mode on
16:15this, which is pretty good.
16:16At least monitoring battery voltage.
16:18You can go into diagnose.
16:20You can have an intelligent diagnose
16:22feature
16:23as well as like
16:25we already talked to be about before
16:26this clip.
16:28If we click on Citroen
16:30and then click okay,
16:32it will start loading up.
16:35You just see just how quickly this gets
16:36into a car.
16:39Just take a few moments to get
16:41and if we go automatic search
16:44and then it comes up with the VIN.
16:47Incidentally, it doesn't do it by in
16:49when you got the intelligent diagnose
16:50I'll show you in just a second. It
16:51didn't actually pick that up and if you
16:52go to a system scan,
16:54there should be one fault code on here.
16:57Yep. Make sure it's on the on position
17:00and it will scan everything.
17:04So why is this doing this thing? It's
17:06just picking up all the different
17:07modules and what's equipped and what's
17:09not equipped.
17:12Fairly straightforward.
17:15And this is just all the systems that
17:16are on the vehicle.
17:19So if I give you can also go
17:20individually if you want to look at one
17:21of them. I was in the wrong menu. If you
17:23go to health report
17:25and it will do the scanning. As you can
17:27see it's got one already got one fault
17:28code in the engine management system,
17:29which is an old
17:31permanent DPF code, I believe. This has
17:34changed since I last scanned it.
17:37You see this is also charging as I
17:38mentioned earlier on. It's also charging
17:41off the car itself where it's plugged
17:44in, so it means you're never going to
17:45run out of battery, which is great.
17:47And you know it's actually got any
17:49internet connection at the moment, which
17:50means you can use it without the
17:51internet.
17:52And you see
17:54P1445
17:55additive adding
17:57injecting the particle emission filter
17:58is exceeded beyond maximum threshold.
18:01It's not really that important.
18:05What is is there's an old code that
18:07won't clear down.
18:10So if we go read fault code
18:14and you can also search the code on here
18:15and it will take you online.
18:17It's all pretty good, but we don't need
18:18to do that testing yet.
18:22We do clear fault code.
18:24Clear again.
18:26Uh pop the mileage in.
18:291 7 [snorts] Bear with me two seconds.
18:365 8
18:399 8 is the mileage on this lovely car.
18:43So quite a high mileage diesel.
18:45Still going really strong. This is
18:47seller for you those of you who are new
18:48to the channel.
18:49Switch the ignition off and on again. I
18:51do like the fact that guys you through
18:52everything while you're doing it.
18:55We got to wait
18:5710 seconds to give you a bit of time.
19:01It won't clear this fault code.
19:03But this is how you clear fault codes on
19:05it. So fairly easy and fairly
19:06straightforward. When we clear fault
19:08turn ignition back on.
19:10You'll hear the beeping just a moment.
19:14There it goes.
19:16That kids look when I took the car it
19:18decided to tell me it needed fuel just
19:19when I got home. The car is still there
19:20but
19:22that's not really what we're looking to
19:24do. We got some OBD T functions so it
19:25just gives you information about what
19:27protocol it's running.
19:28Useful.
19:31We end this session cuz we don't want to
19:33look at that too much. The main thing I
19:34want to show you on this particular car
19:35is
19:36I've gone off it. Bear with me two
19:37seconds. Happens sometimes.
19:42Back on here.
19:45Click okay and go back through this
19:46quickly.
19:47It said luckily it loads fairly quickly.
19:50And let's go into the individual systems
19:52to see what I want to show you guys when
19:53you get on here.
19:55Obviously you can unlock extra features.
19:56I've already shown you a bit of detail
19:58on that already.
20:00Then we go all man search. You'll pick
20:02up the VIN.
20:04And system selection. We're going to
20:06engine system. Make sure the ignition's
20:07on.
20:09It'll load up.
20:14Yeah what I want to show you guys is the
20:16data stream.
20:19So we'll do uh an and conditioning. So
20:22we'll go coolant temperature, engine
20:24speed,
20:26and we'll also go
20:30I think that will be all right for now.
20:35And then you got individual As you see,
20:37the engine's not on, so there's no
20:38engine speed. Let me start the car
20:39again.
20:41You can see then you get your RPM
20:45and your engine temperature cooling
20:46temperature.
20:47I've not long run this car, so as you
20:49can see
20:50quite a decent temperature.
20:52You can record this if you want,
20:54which is a very useful feature.
20:57And then you can set time and date, so
20:59that's quite good.
21:00And what I like to do with this
21:02particular feature
21:03of recording I'm not going to save that
21:05one
21:06is I'll take the car finish this car
21:08when I know it's good and take it for a
21:10test drive
21:11and record a set of um measurements. And
21:15then I've got something to compare it
21:16back to after the fact.
21:19So for instance, if you know I've got a
21:21um
21:23got a misfire or something, I can look
21:25at certain features. You can also graph
21:26this, so you can combine them. Let me
21:29click these two and click combine and go
21:30okay.
21:31You should get a nice little graph,
21:33which is very handy for monitoring
21:34issues.
21:38We can also
21:40go back and take one off and you can
21:42have one
21:43and just have the one cooling
21:44temperature.
21:46That was pretty good. We'll switch over
21:47to a different car now and then we'll
21:48come back.
21:49Another really cool feature I can show
21:51you on this particular car is when you
21:52plug it in to the car This is a Vauxhall
21:54you can see in just a moment.
21:562013 Vauxhall Meriva We can look at 2014
21:59admittedly.
22:00When you plug it in
22:02that will mean you can reach the OBD two
22:04port.
22:07Once you plug it in,
22:08you'll start auto scanning.
22:12And it's going to bring up the VIN
22:14in a few moments
22:15like so. And then you should click
22:17confirm.
22:22It will move on to scanning the systems
22:24and it gives you a quick scan and health
22:25report.
22:27As you can see, it's starting scanning
22:27now. It's a few fault codes on here.
22:30Nothing overly major.
22:33Then it gives you a health report with
22:34the
22:36all sorts of different things.
22:41With you filling in details, all this
22:42will be filled in too.
22:45We have
22:46What do we have? Injector not
22:47programmed.
22:49DPF, DPF region not possible.
22:54And not present. There's a couple of
22:56present codes and a couple of
22:57non-present codes.
22:58Not too much. And if we roll down, we
22:59have the ECM ones, which is lights.
23:04I believe or not controlled body module.
23:06That's going to be because
23:07the car's not started. And for some
23:09reason it keeps bringing that code up
23:10with this particular vehicle.
23:12We can back out now.
23:14And then we can go into a system.
23:17Let's go into the system.
23:20And it gives you lots of information.
23:21Obviously you got the full system, data
23:23read, fault code read.
23:25Let's read the fault codes.
23:28Have a look. We've got fuel injector not
23:30calibrated.
23:32Uh fuel injector serialization not
23:34present.
23:36Not present is restricting the DPF.
23:39And the DPF code's being caused by the
23:41fuel system codes.
23:43I just got to get around to fixing it.
23:45This is the wife's car. I can use it
23:46fairly regularly, so well,
23:49regularly enough to make it
23:51difficult to get hold of
23:54to fix it. But yeah, we'll get that done
23:56sorted soon. I'm going to hopefully do a
23:57video on reprogramming the injectors.
24:00Probably with the other tool I use, but
24:03for now
24:04that's this.
24:06We will actually quickly will let me
24:08start the engine.
24:11What I want to do is just quickly clear
24:13these codes down.
24:15We'll just clear all the codes down.
24:19And then we should have the new
24:20communication code gone because the
24:22engine is running. We still got the
24:23other two codes mainly.
24:25There's nothing too much to worry about.
24:27Let's find out how much soot is in the
24:28um
24:31ECU in the system. So, data stream.
24:34And if we go to
24:36Where's my exhaust? Exhaust after
24:38treatment, and then we can go
24:43differential
24:45differential pressure sensor
24:48and soot accumulation, and then click
24:49okay. That will do right for now.
24:53Just to show you guys you can read stats
24:55and read different sorts of systems and
24:57different sort of things.
24:58So, you've got 35% soot accumulation
25:01accumulation. We can change also on
25:03here.
25:05We can graph it if we need to. So, it's
25:07all pretty cool. Lots to look at, and we
25:09can have all these on the
25:11Got the voltage for the um
25:14different things as well. And what I
25:15like about this as well, if we go back,
25:19you also you can record all this, which
25:20gives you lots of data like I said in
25:22the previous clip.
25:25We can also have engine speed in here.
25:27But if you want to look for something in
25:27particular, we can type in and search
25:29it.
25:30Let's go DPF.
25:33And then click okay.
25:37It brings up all the DPF codes.
25:41We can unclick those, but probably
25:43wasn't a very good thing. It come up as
25:44a label on here too, so that's quite
25:45interesting.
25:49Let's click off these ones.
25:52And then if we go
25:56DPF. That's not
25:58Then we do second hand type.
26:04And then it gives you a list of all the
26:05DPF. That's what I wanted to show you
26:07guys.
26:08See all the DPF, and then if you go
26:09select all, you can um
26:13click okay.
26:15And it'll load all these up into one
26:16little graph for you.
26:18It's fairly decent.
26:21You can see the voltage is running a bit
26:22higher on here. Like I said, being
26:23charged from the thing definitely keeps
26:24everything
26:25running nicely.
26:29And obviously you got all sorts of
26:29different things we going into. We're
26:30going to fuel system data.
26:33And we've got all the other lovely
26:35modules to check.
26:36And can deal with stuff with.
26:38We also have uh
26:40transmission control, ECM, and the
26:43restraint system.
26:44Obviously, as I've said earlier in the
26:46video, you have other options too.
26:49So definitely a lot to look at. And I
26:51may have said in the previous clip that
26:52you do need an internet connection. You
26:54do need an internet
26:56um I can't even say the words. You do
26:58need an internet connection to um
27:01use some of the features on here when
27:02you're out and about. Some features work
27:04okay and others don't.
27:07Obviously as well in here you've
27:08obviously got Vauxhall right down the
27:09bottom here, so there's lots of options.
27:11I'll just quickly see that.
27:13Loads fairly quickly as well.
27:18I mean it's a fairly quick device and
27:19the screen's really responsive as I've
27:21probably told you guys before.
27:23But you also have the option to do an
27:26OBD2 scan.
27:28So sometimes you just want to scan OBD2
27:29codes from as you click on the bottom.
27:34And it'll just detect what the actual
27:37serial what serial system it's using.
27:40What CAN bus protocol or whatever it's
27:43using. And there we are. And it comes up
27:45and identifies it all.
27:47And you click enter.
27:50And it gives you some more information
27:51on here. Sometimes this is useful for
27:52different things.
27:55Overall it's a very handy little scan
27:56tool. And we'll go back into the office
27:58now and talk some more about it.
28:00So now you guys have seen this on work
28:02on two different vehicles, a Citroen and
28:04a Vauxhall.
28:06What do you think? Let me know in the
28:07comments below. And I'm going to move on
28:08to some pros and cons now.
28:10So for me, big pro is the battery life
28:13is near unlimited.
28:16With long you got to plug into a
28:17vehicle, can recharge off the vehicle.
28:18So that is very good.
28:20Another pro is I like the size and
28:22compactness of it even in the case.
28:25It's um
28:27you know fairly nice and compact. So if
28:29you want to keep it in the car and slide
28:30it under the seat,
28:34nice a good place to keep it if you want
28:35to if you have any problems. It'll
28:37probably end up becoming my travel
28:39gun tool.
28:40One I take with me everywhere
28:43rather than the big one. It's a bit
28:44bulky in comparison. Also another pro
28:46for me is the case. Case is lovely.
28:50up but it's like a nice little holder
28:51for your cables
28:53and it's a very nice case.
28:54So that's another pro.
28:57And yeah, there's only now we want some
28:59cons. There's not too many to be fair.
29:02Only one real con I can find with it is
29:08it's not really a con, it's more just of
29:09a nitpick.
29:11It can sometimes confuse itself
29:13if you're doing stuff or you need to
29:15freeze up
29:16and you have to restart it.
29:18But must have had just a
29:20problem with this model. But it is a con
29:22sometimes you have to restart. Doesn't
29:23really cost you anything but a bit of
29:25time
29:26when we're out.
29:28So
29:28bear in mind.
29:30And another con is it can be sometimes a
29:32bit annoying if you're out and about and
29:35it decides to send you an email to log
29:37in because basically to log into this
29:39you
29:40you're prompted with a thing and you
29:41send your email address and it sends you
29:43a code back.
29:45And sometimes that can be really
29:45annoying if you're in a place with poor
29:47signal and or and you can't get the code
29:49up.
29:50So that is another problem.
29:52If you click on here it's like where you
29:54send your email address here and it will
29:55send you the code. It's a bit of a
29:58a bit of a pain.
30:01But apart from that they're the only
30:02that's the only couple of cons. It's a
30:04really good device and I've really
30:05enjoyed using it. And
30:07if you made it this far into the video
30:09please drop a like, subscribe if you're
30:11new. Let me know what you think of this
30:13tool or launch products in general or
30:15King Bolen products in general. I'd love
30:16to hear your thoughts
30:18down below.
30:19And as I said
30:22thanks for watching this so far. So now
30:24we're going to move into my final
30:26thoughts and
30:28the all important spanner rating.
30:31And
30:32my final thoughts is it's a lovely,
30:33compact, really useful tool
30:37perfect the home DIY guy or the new
30:40tech.
30:42If you're just getting into a
30:46It covers a vast range of different
30:47features. Just the stuff included in it
30:51is pretty good. And obviously I should
30:53have said this is another pro.
30:56My brain wasn't quite working.
30:58But definitely another pro to this is
30:59the fact that you can buy the extra
31:01features
31:02and they're not too expensive. So if you
31:04need to do a certain job, if you're new
31:05to working on vehicles and
31:08you'd like not sure what you need, pick
31:10this up would be a good start, I think.
31:12Because then you would buy the
31:13additional features that you need as you
31:15develop your skill set. So really
31:17[snorts and clears throat] good for
31:20new and up-and-coming or DIY guys who
31:23like you're expanding your confidence
31:25and as you go up the ladder
31:29you'll definitely be useful to know.
31:31And obviously this is fairly
31:32inexpensive. I believe they're around
31:34£200
31:36off Amazon, so not too bad at all.
31:39That being said, I'm going to give my
31:40spanner score now. And my spanner score
31:42is a four spanner rating, so four
31:43spanners will pop up here as always. And
31:45anyone who watches the channel regularly
31:46knows four spanners is a really good
31:48rating.
31:49So this is a really good tool. And if
31:50you're looking for a
31:52great
31:53stand tool that will see you through
31:55most things,
31:56I do highly recommend picking up this
31:58one. And not just because they sent it
31:59to me, because I generally do feel that
32:01it is
32:02a really handy piece of kit that will
32:04make your life easier and quicker.
