Good day everyone GarageKing here a special episode I just got this in the
mail so I just took the shipping packaging off it but I want to open it
up in front of you guys it's a launch CRP 429 so let's open this up and see
what it is now I had a lot of trouble and almost sleepless nights trying to
decide if I should get the 429 or the 429 C and if you're wondering what this
is there you go it's just to block these reflections
from the chandelier so I'm not a professional photographer so let's put
that down just so we can see this thing here alright so let's open up and see
what is inside the box I'm not getting paid anything for this so I bought this
with my own money for the garage to work on some vehicle
so let's let's open it up and and see what's inside we have a nice bag it
seems like I don't know what's inside here if anything I guess it's a charging
adapter and a manual a manual for it okay so that's kind of nice just put
that to the side let's get to the more exciting stuff so let's pull this thing
open and here yes that's it what's in the box so here we go so here's our
launch tool now we should have a cord to plug into the car I'm sure because
there's no cord? oh there we go there's our cord so we have our OBD2 cord so
this will plug into the car and
here is our scanner and actually there's a plastic plug right here so we have a
nice plastic plug oh yeah for the edge of the tool there I guess it just came
out to protect it from the court okay so that's nice so here we have our launch
429c, I'm sorry 429 my mistake haha CRP 429 folks that's the one I decided
to get I'm gonna plug it in I guess it just charges up with the USB let's see
what happens now I did a whole bunch of research and there's very little
research on the difference between the CRP 429 and the CRP 429 C so I
want to talk about some of those differences so here we have a snapshot
of 429 and basically I won't hash over everything cuz I don't want to make this
a really boring video but if you read down it just says it supports the basic
diagnostic functions and eight common service and reset functions of the full
systems for overseas overseas mainstream models now the big thing is it says full
system so let's flip to the 429 C and here if we read that same line it says
it's forced the basic diagnostic functions and 11 common service and
reset functions are the 4 major systems for over C's mainstream model so this is
the 429 see at first glance actually looks better because it looks like it
has 11 service and reset functions but the big thing is it says the four major
systems not all the major systems so that's the big difference okay so here
we go now it looks like the biggest difference is just that the 429 has
wider coverage that's it but the 429 C has more reset features now when I was
going through the reset features and without boring you once again the
biggest reset features at the 429 C has that the 429 does not have is the 429 C
has electronic throttle relearn TPMS reset and gear learn other than that
they're identical but the 429 covers more models and it just seems to do more
so if you really need those three reset functions then I guess get the 429C if
it comes your vehicle but if you really don't know what you're doing and you're
kind of a garage guy like me that's why I thought the 429 was better
just because it covers it just seems to cover more the other thing I noticed is
the 429 seems to be a little bit more expensive everywhere I'm searching so I
don't know why but it just does seem to be a little bit more expensive so now
for my purpose 429 is better but research and for your purpose 429C may be better
just depending on what type of reset features you need so let's get back to
the video I hand okay so what I did is I left this thing plugging and charging it
took about six hours seven hours but now it's got a blue light so let's try and
see if we can turn it on and there we go it says welcome there's our CRP 429 so
we're gonna go start there oh there we go so select our language and this parts
pretty easy, it's actually really easy to set up you just you pick your language
and then once you pick your language you just got to scroll through and do all
your settings as well as your Wi-Fi and then you can do update so I'll let you
do this part on your own this parts actually quite simple okay so what I
want to do is I want to just make sure to update the machine so I'm gonna go
upgrade, so it's gonna refresh what I did is I just hit there's an update
putting on the bottom and I hit it and now it's just downloading these gear
main apps so it'll download and it will will update the machine
okay so let's turn this machine on now had it all charged up there we go
so we have the Machine up so I can go into reset there's all the things we can
reset so if we look at it we can actually do quite a bit of quite a bit
of things there you can go back we can go diagnose and there's all the vehicles
there one of the things I did it did take a while was I went to upgrade and
I'll refresh the software you have and you can see now it's all current
versions so everything is the current version so I went and updated everything
so even though I don't work on all these things I just went and updated them all
so it's got the current version of of everything in there then you can go on
OBD2 we got to be connected to the vehicle so I'll do a little test with
that but basically it's very very easy to use there's for your network
everything like that all your settings when we're doing the VIN scanning right
now and yes we have Audi q3 and now it'll go through a whole health report
you can see it's doing a whole health report on it okay and now I went to this
I/M and you can see all the stuff it's got so it's got a boatload of
information if we look right here there we go service do so that's what we want
to reset there we go so now maybe we can go back into reset and there we have a
few more here so let's go into oil reset there we go oil reset
so now we're in an Audi q3 so switch on ignition ignition is on so let's go
okay the angle I'm looking at there we go
automatic reset and there we go maybe it'll do it this way automatic and it
reset it and then it's got oil reset major maintenance those are the major
ones so now let's pan back up here and what
we're gonna do is we're gonna shut the vehicle off for a second and then we're
gonna turn it back on okay to join one of our services that are due so it could
be the major one so last time I couldn't find it what I did is I was going into
manual reset and then what happened is I couldn't find the q3 so I went back and
then what I did is just do it by vehicle model and then the q3 was in there so
then after I reset it, let's look here so we can pan back up let's focus on
there and shut the vehicle off and there you go it doesn't not say
no more service do so it every sentence so that's great the other thing we can
do when we're in here if you're looking is we can actually set it to whatever we
want so if we want to do a manual personal setting say you have a
performance car or you're doing whatever you can just input the mileage to next
oil change so whatever number you want you can do that and then it'll just come
up so that's a great feature so all in all I think this scanner is a really
really good scanner does a whole bunch of stuff every time I'm
pushing it's not the buttons not working if you're wondering sometimes I've been
pushing it through this video it's because I'm actually looking through the
phone as I'm filming it and there's a I guess it would be refraction of light as
what it's called so if I actually focus on the scanner itself and push the
button you can see I can push it rather quickly but then the problem is
sometimes I lose sight of where I'm filming so that's what that is it's not
a problem with the scanner itself and what else can we look at we can look at
diagnose that's what we already did exit the current diagnosis
that's just a menu of all the vehicles there you can go through so actually
quite a bit I can use this back I guess data stream oh sorry here because I know
freeze frame data we're not actually running it I wonder if we can get data
stream process and there's for this vehicle tons of stuff we can get so what
if we want our engine rpm we're not even running right now that but the key is on
the on position so if I just go okay it should come up as zero I'm thinking
engine rpm zero yeah so those are valid so you can just pick which ones you want
so that's that's really good let's go back or let's press our home button
again so anyway that's my video on the scanner
hopefully you even enjoyed my video if you have I hope you would subscribe if
you have any questions comments or concerns please leave them below I
answer everything GarageKing over and out I'll see you on the next one
