 Actron AutoScanner CP9185 shorts out in storage June 14, 2010
Edward Mcdonald
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Two years ago I purchased the Actron Elite AutoScanner CP9185. I used it once to trouble shoot a problem with one of my cars. Today I tried to use the unit to trouble shoot a hard start problem with another car and it would not power on. A call to technical service indicated that something must have shorted out during storage and I would need to send the unit in for repairs. Because the unit is now out of warranty I must pay shipping both ways (estiamted at $20). Cost to repair the unit is $76 per hour plus parts. If I want an estimate for repair costs that is $60.00. If I send the unit in for repair and the esitmated repair cost is higher than I want to pay, I have spent $80 and still have a unit that doesn't work. Lowest possible repair cost is $96 assuming no parts are needed and the work can be done in less than an hour. This is just too much money to spend on a unit that breaks during storage.
Needless to say I am very disappointed with the quality of the Actron Scanner. I have learned my lesson, I will never purchase another Actron (SPX Corporation) product.

They only display a handful of the 108 PIDS that are read; there is virtually no information as to how to interpret the readings; the MAF reading is in lbs/min while the information Alldata gives is in volts. You only get what you pay for, so if you're looking for something better than a code-reader, this is it and not much more.
Actron Scanner is easy to use March 18, 2010
Corlen R. Charnell
For a long time I didnt think they made any new scanners that worked with the original ALDL OBD1 computers. I actually purchased a special Serial cable set up and tried some "free" software for my laptop, but quickly discovered that's not nearly as practical as this simple portable unit. After reading some reviews I made the purchase and was delighted when it was just as easy as plugging in and selecting the year, make and model of the car. I really like the ability to create a short list of things you need to view, and only wish there was a way to save them so I dont have to create the list each time. Other than that, this was exactly as advertised and it really made setting the TPS a snap compared to using the voltmeter and jumper wires.

I know computers and the web access program for updates will not load on Windows 7, 64-Bit... I have made a mistake and should not have made such a large investment. Would not have if I knew this in advance. I have sent Actron e-mail requesting information on updates for Windows 7. No reply yet. will update this feed back if I get a fix. if not I have no choice but to return this back to Amazon. My loss, I really needed this tool in my world. I got a reply from them and the just of it was Ya, We know there is a problem with 64 bit operation. and we are looking into it. There is no deliver date form the tech people. I am using it with out updates. not sure if it is work right.
