OEM level diagnostics with the CRP919X Bluetooth

OE-level (Original Equipment level) diagnostics refer to the in-depth diagnostic capabilities traditionally available through original manufacturer equipment. These systems provide comprehensive access to vehicle electronics, beyond what standard OBD-II diagnostic tools can offer. The Launch CRP919X BT sets itself apart by making these OE-level diagnostic features available in an aftermarket tool, allowing independent garages and technicians diagnostic capabilities comparable to those of dealerships.

Here are some key aspects of the OE-level diagnostic features of the Launch CRP919X BT:

In-depth system access: The CRP919X BT can communicate with all available electronic systems within a vehicle, such as the engine, transmission, ABS, airbags, instrument panel, climate control, electronics, and more. This allows technicians to obtain detailed diagnostic data that is normally only accessible to dealerships.

Advanced features: The tool provides access to advanced diagnostic features such as ECU coding, programming, and bi-directional control. For instance, ECU coding is essential for replacing, programming, or modifying vehicle components, while bi-directional control (active tests) allows for testing specific systems or components to verify they are functioning correctly.

Adjustments and service functions: The CRP919X BT also offers a range of service functions necessary for daily maintenance and repairs, such as oil service reset, steering angle sensor calibration, electronic parking brake reset, battery registration, and more. These functions ensure a complete and efficient service.

Extensive vehicle coverage: The tool is designed to work with a wide range of brands and models, making it a universal solution for workshops. This is especially important for OE-level diagnostics, as different brands and models may require specific approaches and tools.

With these OE-level diagnostic capabilities, the Launch CRP919X BT offers independent workshops a competitive advantage, allowing them to provide a level of service previously only offered by dealerships. This not only increases the efficiency and effectiveness of the service but also improves customer satisfaction through more comprehensive troubleshooting and maintenance.

Online and offline coding

The Launch CRP919X BT is known in the auto repair industry for its advanced diagnostic capabilities, including features such as online and offline coding. These features are crucial for a wide array of maintenance and repair tasks, especially when working with complex vehicle systems that require personalized adjustments and updates. Here is an in-depth look at what these coding features entail and how they contribute to the versatility of this device.

Online Coding:

Online coding, often also known as 'cloud-based' coding, requires an internet connection to access the most recent manufacturer database and updates. This process is essential for various tasks, including installing the latest firmware, updating vehicle software, or modifying a vehicle module's configuration. For the Launch CRP919X BT, online coding means users always have the most current information and software versions from vehicle manufacturers at hand, ensuring accurate diagnoses and adjustments.

Benefits of online coding include:

• Access to real-time updates from manufacturers, reducing the likelihood of compatibility or functionality issues arising from outdated software
• Ability to troubleshoot complex issues with guidance from the latest manufacturer information and community feedback
• Ensures all codings and adjustments adhere to current factory specifications
• Online coding possible with the car brands: BMW, Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, SEAT

Offline Coding:

Offline coding, on the other hand, refers to coding performed without direct internet access. This process utilizes the pre-installed software and data on the device. While it may not provide the real-time updates of online coding, offline coding is particularly useful where internet access is limited or unreliable, or when working with older vehicle models that don't require recent updates or changes.

Benefits of offline coding include:

• Ability to perform work in locations without reliable internet access
• Faster performance without reliance on network speeds, eliminating wait times for downloading or uploading data
• Immediate access to a wide range of diagnostic tools and software already installed on the Launch CRP919X BT
• Offline coding possible with the car brands: Ford, Mazda, Jaguar, Opel

Retrofit functionality:

Retrofitting refers to the installation of new features or technologies in older systems. In the context of vehicles, this could mean installing new software updates, adding new hardware components, or modifying existing systems to provide enhanced or additional features. Examples include installing rearview cameras, upgrading the infotainment system, adding advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), or even altering lighting systems.

The Launch CRP919X BT facilitates these processes through its retrofit functionality.

Activating hidden features:

The Launch CRP919X BT is capable of activating hidden or inactive features in vehicles. These "hidden" features are often built-in options that have been deactivated or hidden from standard use by the manufacturer, possibly for various reasons such as regional preferences, safety restrictions, or because they are reserved for higher trim levels or later activation.

Activating these features is a form of vehicle personalization and can range from enabling performance settings to making convenience options accessible. The CRP919X BT's ability to perform such adjustments, however, strongly depends on the specific car brand, model, and year of manufacture. Additionally, the available hidden features can vary greatly between vehicles.

Some of the car brands where diagnostic tools like the Launch CRP919X BT are often used to activate hidden features include:

• BMW: For example, activating digital speed display in the instrument cluster, changing automatic locking settings, or enabling additional lighting options
• Audi: Possibilities might include adjusting lighting, activating hidden infotainment features, or modifying performance settings
• Mercedes-Benz: Options such as enabling AMG options in the driver's menu, adjusting lighting, or activating additional convenience options
• Volkswagen: Activating features like driving modes, lighting options, or access to additional infotainment features
• Toyota: Possibilities might include personalizing door locking behavior, lighting, or activating certain convenience features
• Ford: Options for customizing vehicle settings, activating hidden performance settings, or modifying infotainment features

It is important to emphasize that activating hidden features should be performed within the limits of the law and the vehicle manufacturer's regulations. Some modifications may void the vehicle's warranty, affect vehicle performance, or even jeopardize road safety. Therefore, it is crucial that such work is performed by qualified professionals who fully understand the implications of the changes they are making.

The combination of these factors makes the Launch CRP919X BT not only a versatile and powerful diagnostic tool but also one that provides a sustainable solution for workshops, with adjustments and enhancements available as technology evolves. It is this commitment to progress, ease of use, and comprehensive functionality that sets the CRP919X BT apart in its field.
