Don't try to update online or tool will die.

Customer Rating:
Product seemed to work fine for about 8 months but I mistakenly thought it would be a good idea to update the software online since I was having trouble printing reports. Then it just crashed.
I called the company and got a lot of b.s. from people who clearly don't use their product. The first guy tried to blame windows 7, then when I told him I still have the XP machine I originally used to load their pitifully inadequate software he said I needed to talk to a software guy. The software guy said it was a known issue with this device that if you try to update the tool is "fried" and the only fix is to send it to them.
I may send it to them but at the moment I have a car problem so I will go out today and try to find a replacement, preferably from a different manufacturer.

It is apparently too much to ask for this company to put something on their website as a warning before a customer downloads what SHOULD be a working update. Or at least take down the update. As a sales strategy it does not work for me.

Actron CP9180 review

Customer Rating:
Works great,just the way I had hoped. Shows the code and clears problem code lamp on my car. Didn't seem to hard to use. Not crazy about the bag to store it in but it works. Would rather have a plastic box ect. to store it in.
Worth the money I spent for it. Googled the code that it showed and got lots of good info on how to fix my car.

Actron CP9180 AutoScanner

Customer Rating:
We bought this auto scanner to save money on car repairs. When your car is dead and the mechanic said he spent hours trying to figure out what was wrong with your car and that is a part of the $300 charge, he is actually hooking your car up to this scanner and it tells him what is wrong with your car. Well worth the money. The shipping was fast on this item, earlier than stated.

Great scanner for the money

Customer Rating:
I've now used this scanner on a dozen different vehicles. I'm the most popular guy on the block. The runtime diagnostics is especially helpful to identify tuning issues. Well worth the money.

Great product, paid too much...

Customer Rating:
I was delighted to find Amazon's discount on this item to $135.00, current trade price at the time was over $200.00, ordered it, arrival was timely. Surprise when Advance Auto Parts flyer arrives with a sale price of $94.00 on same unit. Bought that one too...saves wear and tear (students can be rough) on the OTC and Modis units. Timing is everything!
