LAUNCH Creader Elite Bi-Directional OBD2 Scanner for Toyota Lexus, 2026 Full System Diagnostic Scan Tool, All Reset Service Code Reader, Battery Registration, AUTO VIN, Lifetime Free Update

It's look like you guys sent me bad items

had a hybrid system failure error in my prius prime and fiddling around with clearing codes while using this seemed to have done the trick! no idea why...

Connected fast and easy to my Toyota and functions great. Haven’t had any issues with it and I’ve used it several times.

The page seems to promise free lifetime updates, but the Creader Elite manual clearly says "Use of the dianostic software pre-installed on the tool is free of charge forever, but the free update period is only the first year." This page states repeatedly states things such as: - "Lifetime Fr-ee Update" - "Lifetime F.r.e.e Update" - "The Launch Creader Elite Engine Code Reader Tool for Toyota provides lifetime f.ree software update for all Toyota and Lexus vehicles without any subscription fee. One-click online f.r.e.e update to enjoy the latest feature and a wider range of models anytime." Notice the misspellings of "free" on the page as "fr-ee", "f.r.e.e", "f.ree". There are no correct spellings of "free". I suspect that misspelling are deliberate so that they can later claim that 'we never said it was "free", we said it was ""fr-ee", "f.r.e.e", "f.ree"' followed by some ridiculous explaination for what those acronyms mean. I contacted the manufacturer who seemed to confirm that there are not lifetime free updates, stating that the dealer marketing page represents the seller's personal understanding only. Maybe it's a good product, maybe it's not. Maybe it's worth an annual subscription. I will never find out because I can't support what seems in my opinion to be deceptive.

"I specifically purchased the LAUNCH Creader Elite Bi-Directional OBD2 scanner to fix a climate control issue on my 2018 Toyota Prius. The AC blend door actuators (servos) had lost their calibration, which happens when the system forgets the physical limits of the doors, causing incorrect air temperature and distribution. To fix this properly without tearing the dashboard apart, you need a bi-directional scanner capable of writing commands to the HVAC module, not just a basic code reader. This LAUNCH scanner handled it perfectly. I navigated to the bi-directional controls, initiated the 'Servo Motor Initialization' procedure, and let the scanner force the module to sweep the actuators and relearn their end stops. It worked flawlessly on the very first try and completely restored my AC system's functionality. The interface is super easy to use and intuitive. If you do your own maintenance or need to run active tests on your Prius without paying dealership fees, this tool is an excellent investment. Highly recommended."

Bought this tool for one reason. To turn off the seat belt beep on my 2018 rav4 it worked. Also on 2014 sienna as well. This scanner has a lot of features I mean a lot. Too many to mention. If you need a scan tool to do something on a toyota minus tuning fuel trims this will likely do it. The two draw backs are it a slower android device which is understandable given the price. Also the smaller version has no battery and will need to be plugged into the obd port or usb-c to work. Which i don't even consider a drawback as the is no battery to fail. I have an old cheap MaxiScan MS300 with no internal battery and its been in my daily for over a decade. Hope this one is the same way.
