I read the reviews here and ignored them and went ahead and got this scanner. I even spent extra and got the couple extra OBDI adapters that it doesn't come with. When I first got it, it worked pretty good, though there was a hangup here and there when turning it on failing to boot, or it would freeze up when moving into the Menu's. Not all the time, just once in a while. I figured BUG, they'll have some type of Update at some point.(Still have never seen 1 update YET!!!) The problems just continued to get worse over time. Now it's a Paper Weight. I turn it on, the Actron screen comes on and then NOTHING, or it comes on and then the menu's are all jumbled or jumbled and upside down. I can't do ANYTHING with it. I replaced the 9 volt battery and that didn't do a thing. It's hardly been used and looks brand new and yet it's a pile of junk. When it was working it had some nice features for a scanner at this price range at the time. I wish I never got this thing!!!
I do have the Actron ABS scanner and it works great for the cars and trucks it supports. Never had any problems with that scanner. I emailed Customer Service and they had be try a few things, of could I tried what I could and said it didn't work and they never replied back to be. It's been another month or so, and so I decided to send yet another e-mail and see what happens. If I have to pay to get it FIXED, it won't be worth it. I'll have to toss it and buy another Scanner and never buy anything from ACTRON ever again. You know I've yet to ever see a ABS scanner update either from them. If you have any problems with whatever you buy from them, don't count on Customer Service to help you. I don't recommend any ACTRON products!!!!
If you need a good OBDII scanner WITH Domestic ABS Brakes Capabilities, INNOVA 3160 looks like a winner. Few low end OBDII scanners support ABS features, and right now on AMAZON the price is only $224.99. I really wish I had gotten this one, but I don't think it was around when I got mine. I also have ABS capabilities so I really only need a Scanner. Right now though I'm looking at maybe getting a much higher end scanner. I wish I could have given the Actrol CP9190 ZERO stars.
