With the TopDon when you are on a page you wish to screen shot or video, swipe down from the top of the page, you will see buttons for Photo, and Video 😃 Also with WiFi, if possible select a 2.4 Ghz connection, not 5g as the range will be a lot further, and it travels through obstructions better around the shop.

You can always use steel wool to clean the battery terminals instead of the battery terminal brush. Depending on the coarseness of the steel wool (& the amount of force you use) it will take off less material.

Very true! I sometimes use a small wire brush also.

I can’t wait till the discount video comes out. Hoping I can get it and use it on my 2000 F250 7.3 and learn to use it via Mr. J.

Great seeing you put that Launch to work. I also have one but find it has very bad translations. Dare I say, dangerously bad? This Chinese scanner uses double negatives and acronyms with very delicate module operations. "Would you like to decline NOT resetting the throttle body?"

I use a Launch Torque 3 and an Autel MX808 to plug the holes. I kind of like the Autel better and it was 1/4 the cost @ about $380.

Hey, can you tell me if you got the new topology update launch recently released on this model? I know it got released for the x431v+ etc.

No this model does not offer topology.

Will that Launch tell you the battery condition and whether it is charging?

@JimmyMakingitwork

4 ай бұрын

It won’t tell you the condition but there will be a data line for voltage.

Looking forward to the review on the Launch scanner. From what I understand, Launch, Topdon and Thinktool all use similar programming. I don't know what is up with this "feels like" business. The ambient temperature to me feels like what the thermometer reads. Sounds like "climate change" mumbo jumbo to me.

It's true, it's fast and cool, good for working on cars, but the software I'm not sure if it's original, why I think so, because it can't be registered on any website provided by the manufacturer or Launch, I get sn: it's not correct so I don't understand how it's working. Because the device is registered and logged in, you can download updates. I watch videos from Launch and in the service functions there are, for example, icons + description, while in CRP919EBT there is only a description, so it also gives food for thought. Why is it different, it's also supposed to be Launch. Finally, purchase the update only from the person who purchased the device and you cannot count on the possibility of e.g. 2 years for the price of 1 year, as Autel does, i.e.: license $150 for 1 year, or $300 for 2 years, where Autel has promotions, e.g. 2 years for USD 150, i.e. one year for USD 75. so quite a difference.

Yeah, there may be differences based on where it’s purchased, but there shouldn’t be. I have not seen it. Although many mistakenly think there is a U.S. based and China based Launch. But they are all made in China. Some are serviced here, by Launch USA and others would have to be shipped back or serviced online from overseas. I think the risk is minimal since my last Snap On scanner the update was $1295 and $995 if you do it every 6 months. I could buy a new scanner every 6 months and still save money based on software alone.

How much is that scanner?
