Actron Autoscanner Review : Best Price

Works great. Has already paid for itself in helping to diagnose problems several times. Clear instructions and very easy to use. All of my vehicles are out of warranty now and I must attempt to repair myself. Being an old shade tree mechanic and not very up to date on the newer systems, this tool has helped me come up to speed. Most of the dealers and shops around here want at least 75 bucks just for a diagnostic check. At the very least this tool will allow you to see what codes are present and help give you a leg up on those high and mighty service writers at the shops.

I bought this to diagnose a misfiring cylinder. I had the same problem previously, and the dealer charged me $400 for diagnosis and repair. With this one use, I “broke even”.

The code scanner worked well. The graphing feature is of limited use. I’m hoping future software updates will make it more useful. You can’t press the buttons too quickly, or they won’t work. I had to call the “help line” to install the driver so my computer could recognize the scanner via the USB cable.

This item is exactly what I was looking for. It works great, and I am completely satisfied. Shipping and condition of product were excellent as usual.

I first bought the cp9150, I was not impressed with all it does for the money. Then for extra $100 i bought Cp9190. I must say this has all the functionality you want from scanner.
PROS: easy to use, light at night display and the keys are nicer than cp9145 series. For the money CP9145 don’t do much compare to other models, other models do even more then cp9150 Also don’t get cp9145, the cables in Cp9150 which is the same unit as cp9145 except the cables and the carring box is worth the money spend for CP9150. Altough I was not impressed with its functionality for the money. no cable to upgrade from computer. you can’t print the data. However, CP9190 is real deal for the money. It does so much compare to the CP9145 series.

This is a low priced ABS scanner!!! It does work GREAT if your Car/Truck is on the list of supported Vehicles. It only works for Domestic Cars and Trucks, 1996 and newer because it plugs into the OBDII port and most ALL cars/trucks didn’t have OBDII until 1996. It doesn’t work on ALL Domestic Cars/Trucks which kind of does SUCK also!!! It’s also starting to now get Outdated. It doesn’t support anything past 2005!!! That’s now 5 years. That’s kind of pitiful. Some people have ABS problems with their Vehicles that are less then 5 years old. It also doesn’t work on ANY Imports!!!
