Hi. need help to choose device.
I published this thread in other forum, maybe was no the correct place. I know in this forum there are a very good specialists in this themes:
Thinking to buy a scan tool but I'm not sure what choose between 4 models. I seek large functions including automatic gearbox oil temperature, coding injectors, live data, actuator test in adiction to the basic DCT ABS, BRAKE, reset and regeneration particles filter.
I had see this models:
Launch x431 cpr129x
Foxwell NT624 elite
VDM V4.7 Wifi
Ancel FX600

What do you think about that? What do you think is better than the other or if you know there is another with better functios (in this price line please...)
I have different cars, one of them is a 2005 LR Freelander1 automatic gearbox. I have others brands and models more moderns. That's the reason why I need the best scan tool of this list or another similar recomended.

Thak you very much for your help!!!
 
I tend to buy the diagnostic software for each vehicle I have as it's more specialised.

However I do have one general purpose all makes diagnostic device called WOW, which uses Delphi software on laptop.

It allows advanced diagnostic and tuning options like injector coding.
However the Delphi software wouldn't remove the CRASH status on my FL2, so I needed to use LR software to do that.

I've no experience with the 4 you mention though.
 
Thanks. I'm agree that the best is software specialised for each vehicle. I'm looking for a device who diagnose principal elements and some special functions.
Thanks again
 
Yes, it look very interesting. Do you know if it has automatic gearbox oil temperature (very important to change the fluid), coding injectors, live data, actuator test and regeneration particles filter?

The temperature of the fluid doesn't need to be 1°C perfect. A temperature of + or - 5°C is sufficient, and that is easily done using a cheap infrared thermometer on the bottom of the gearbox casing. ;)

The diagnostic tool I linked does Injector coding on my FL2.
It does gearbox solenoid activation on my FL1 auto.
It connects to all modules to read and clear codes on the FL1, FL2, Kia and Fiat.
It reads some live data, but not all modules provide live data. I'm pretty sure it reads gearbox temperature though, although I didn't use it for the reason above.

It even does a Proxi Alignment of the Fiat 500 ECUs, when a replacement module is installed.

I don't know about DPF regen, but it probably does it.

I've not used it on anything else so far, and actually only use mine as a backup diagnostic device, as I have manufacturer specific diagnostic software.
 
Ok thanks. Its enought information about this device. I had seen some thing in internet about R3 and R1 and have to see differences. It could be my favourite now.
Thanks again.
 
Hi. I bought this model. Really is cheaper than I spected to spend. It seems do all that you said. For this price I'll test the operation. I believe in your experience.
