Actron CP9680 AUTOSCANNER Plus OBD II/ABS/Airbag Scan Tool with Color Screen

Does the job.

This is a great generic scan tool!!! I got this one to replace another Actron scanner I’ve had since 2008! I read a few negative reviews about not reading airbag and ABS codes and such, but you have to realize this is a cheap generic scan tool. It reads codes, data and readiness monitors. It’s not a $10k Snap-on scanner. So don’t expect it to be. I’m a professional auto technician and I would say Actron makes the best quick scanners in the business!!!

This is an Excellent Scanner for the DIYer's....it has Been a Huge Improvement Over My Old Scanner, This Actron is Easier to Use, the Screen is Colored and Much More Clearer for Viewing....it Gives What Would Be the Top Fix the Trouble Code(s) that is Present....for Me this has Been a Very Solid Investment, the Only Item I Wish Would have Come with this Scanner was the USB Cable......

I have been looking to upgrade my older scanner with one that has ABS/Airbag capability for a while. Did a lot of research prior to purchasing this unit. So far it has worked as it claimed it would. Noticed that some people were complaining about connecting to the Actron website to download the current software, but I had no problem at all, download took about 8 - 10 minutes. (USB cable for download doesn't come with the unit so you will need to purchase one if you don't have one already) This scanner is very intuitive to use if you have any experience with a scanner, if you don't it comes with a get started reference guide which is easy to understand. When connected to the OBDII port it recognizes the vehicle and is ready to go. All of my vehicles are domestic and I haven't had the chance to use it on a foreign make yet so I can't evaluate how it will do. My only complaint is that it didn't come with a storage case of any type. I am very particular with my test equipment and bought a foam lined hard case on line to store this scanner in. If this scanner works as long as my old one it should be the last scanner I ever need to buy. Don't pay list price, if you are patient you can get it for less on sale.

Works really well. Have used on all of my cars to reset codes and check them: 2004 Lexus sc430, 2005 Chevy s10 and 2005 Scion xB. No complaints. Pretty intuitive device. Actually made by Bosch and same as Bosch units, just a good bit cheaper. The manual says Bosch. Must have tool for the average home handyman/mechanic. Same one used by local Advanced Auto.
