Actron CP9190 Good OBDII scanner
The good thing about this scanner is the live - graphic data on OBDII vehicles. Also new automotive scanners must have CAN system (Controller Area Network) if they want to gather information from the vehicle. The ACTRON CP9190 comes with it.
You can find out about the code or codes, the meaning of the code(s), check the freeze frame data to see when the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Ligh=check engine light) came and in which conditions, It is really helpful when you do a diagnosis. With the Live data check the parameters of the condition of the engine. The only thing is that it doesn't come with special test than other automotive scanners but other than that it is good equipment.

Actron CP9190 BEST PRICE
Actron CP9190 BEST PRICE, Great Technology.
Works great right out of the box. Everything you need. Good that it can be updated. Case makes it safe and secure and convenient for travel. Was doubtful how good it might work on foreign cars. Worked great on my son-in-laws VW Jetta. Recognized vehicle immediately and gave and defined existing code. A good investment since our car warranties are expiring soon and will need to self diagnose our cars. Best price I found was at Amazon.

Actron CP9190 Elite AutoScanner
Actron CP9190 Elite AutoScanner
It has done all I asked it to and all the accessories were with it. I plan to ask it more in the future as I haven't had a chance to hook it up to the computer and upload data for review yet. But in the short time i have had it, it had been a tremendous help.
Actron CP9190 Elite Great Product.
Just what I was looking for, would have given 5 stars except for the software and update process is not the greatest. I paid $269.00 and I think it is well worth this price, even more if they would revamp the update software and update process!

Actron CP9190 REVIEW
Actron CP9190
This item is exactly what I was looking for. It works great, and I am completely satisfied. Shipping and condition of product were excellent as usual.
Actron CP9190 great investment
I first bought the cp9150, I was not impressed with all it does for the money. Then for extra $100 i bought Cp9190. I must say this has all the functionality you want from scanner.
PROS: easy to use, light at night display and the keys are nicer than cp9145 series. For the money CP9145 don't do much compare to other models, other models do even more then cp9150 Also don't get cp9145, the cables in Cp9150 which is the same unit as cp9145 except the cables and the carring box is worth the money spend for CP9150. Altough I was not impressed with its functionality for the money. no cable to upgrade from computer. you can't print the data. However, CP9190 is real deal for the money. It does so much compare to the CP9145 series.
The software comes with cp9190 is fantastic and update from USB make all worth the money.
CONS;
CP9190 is made in china compare to CP9145, CP9150 series made in US. It has freeze several time during active data collection. This could be manufacture default.
After all, If you have the money go for this unit cp9190. IF you don't care about OBD I go for cp9180 or cp9175. But if you really need the OBDI and budget is tight give CP9150 a trial. But I was not impressed with functionality compare to the Cp9190.
Actron CP9190 AutoScanner It worked for me.
I bought this to diagnose a misfiring cylinder. I had the same problem previously, and the dealer charged me $400 for diagnosis and repair. With this one use, I "broke even".
The code scanner worked well. The graphing feature is of limited use. I'm hoping future software updates will make it more useful. You can't press the buttons too quickly, or they won't work. I had to call the "help line" to install the driver so my computer could recognize the scanner via the USB cable.
Actron CP9190 Scanner Works Great.
Works great. Has already paid for itself in helping to diagnose problems several times. Clear instructions and very easy to use. All of my vehicles are out of warranty now and I must attempt to repair myself. Being an old shade tree mechanic and not very up to date on the newer systems, this tool has helped me come up to speed. Most of the dealers and shops around here want at least 75 bucks just for a diagnostic check. At the very least this tool will allow you to see what codes are present and help give you a leg up on those high and mighty service writers at the shops.
Actron CP9190 Elite Pleased Purchaser.
I bought this product after having taken my 2002 GMC truck to the shop four(4) times repeatedly for the check engine light coming on. I spent $342 trying to fix the problem. After checking my truck with the new scanner I found that all I needed was an $11 gas cap to stop check engine light from coming on. Never again will I be taken advantage of by the service department.
