LAUNCH CReader 6011 Review – Worth The Money?

Product Overview

This is a multipurpose code reader which can be used with a wide variety of vehicles. If your vehicle was built after 1996, then there is a great chance that you can use this scanner to diagnose any potential problems. It has full OBDII and EOBD capabilities, ABS and SRS diagnostics, and a large color display to present the information.

If your car is special in design or unique in some way, then you will probably not find a lot of use from this product, but for everyone else, you will be able to diagnose and save money.

Who is This Product For?

This scanner can be used by almost anyone, as long as your vehicle was built after 1996. If you are not sure if your vehicle is compatible, then you can contact the company, and they will be able to give you the relevant information.

This device is geared toward inexperienced users. You are given the basic codes and can clear some of them. This is a tool which will save you money in diagnostics but may not help you to fix your vehicle by yourself.

Out of the box, you have the scanner itself, a detailed instruction manual which has everything you need to get your scanner up and running, a nylon carrying case to protect the device, a protective case for the device itself, a MicroSD card, an OBDII connector cable, and a USB cable. You also have the software pre-loaded onto the device, though you may have to update the software if your car is a newer model.

Overview of Features
