Which one should you choose?
- CRP919E - the best value. Same platform as the BT version, with a cable. If the car is parked and you work at the driver's door, nothing is lost.
- CRP919E BT - choose it to walk around the car with the tablet, diagnose while driving, or work under the bonnet without a cable.
- PROS ELITE - a cable-connected tablet with coding and a broader service library, for people who prefer a hard connection.
- PRO V5.0 - the most capable of the four: 8" screen, wireless connector and 37 service functions. Pick it for daily workshop use.
Good to know
- None of these tools has a security-gateway (SGW) function for the newest cars. If you work on recent VW/Audi, Mercedes, Renault, Nissan or Chrysler/Jeep/Fiat models, contact us first.
- Updates are optional after the free period: the tool keeps working on the installed software.
