Actron CP9580 Scanner Easy to use

Actron CP9580 Easy to use.
Very easy to use and so far seems to do everything that it is supposed to do.
Several reviews indicated problems with connecting/printing to and from the computer.
I had no problem connecting or printing.
Just follow the instructions.

Actron CP9580 Scanner 
I held off buying this for a year but I am glad I bought it. It is very simple to use and shows info that many proffessional scan tools do not. Excellent buy. Amazon is a lot cheaper than advance on this product.

Actron CP9580 Scanner Works Great.
Helped me diagnose problems with my car before I went to the mechanic to get it fixed. Glad I purchased it.

i bought this scanner to scan my honda civic 2004 lx cuz i was tired of going to the mechanic for them to check my car. Everything works, very happy.

Actron CP9580 It works!!

Actron CP9580 It works!!
A bunch of reviews talk about issues with connectivity to a PC, but I think the most important thing is: "Does it work?"

The answer: Yes!!

I recieved it in two days with free shipping, and immediately plugged it into my troublesome car. I really didn't want to give my dealership another $50 just to plug their OBD, and who know how much to fix the issue. After telling the 9580 what my car was, it immediately gave me my error codes and possible fixes, which I will decide to do or just ignore. (My car has ~195K, and I'm not sure if I want to put any more money into it.) The good thing is I have a choice. I don't want a dealer telling me what I have to do, and at what price.

The bad (or just annoying):
-If you look at the picture, the key layout is a bit illogical. Shouldn't you put the up arrow at the top and the down arrow at the bottom.
-I noticed the programming date and it is ~Jun 2010, so obviously they don't support newer cars.
-As others have reported, you can't update it.

Actron CP9580L

Actron CP9580L
This product is the same one that is sold/rented at Autozone stores and I like it better than the regular model because of the carrying case that it comes in. For the price this is quite a versitile OBD II code reader with the ability to monitor vehicle sensor outputs realtime to assist in the diagnosis of engine issues. This autoscanner will only read ABS codes for the American car manufacturers, but it does read all other codes for all other vehicle manufacturers. I have used this particular unit on a 2004 Toyota and a 2006 Ford/Mercury without any issues. With the amount of sensors in todays vehicles, I don't take trips anywhere without my Actron CP9580 in my toolbox just in case I have to try to fix the vehicle on the road far from home.

Actron CP9580 Auto Scanner Great Little Tool.

Actron CP9580 Auto Scanner Great Little Tool.
This is the most useful tool I think I have every purchased. Not only am I able to read the codes on all of my vehicles, but it gives me the most likely fixes for each code. I own foreign and domestic vehicles, and this tester works on all of them, including the ABS codes.

Actron CP9580 Auto Scanner working fine for me
I reviewed all to many reviews before purchasing this product. I plugged this product into my 2004 Tacoma, figured out the problem and reset the check engine light. Problem gone. I do not think I will plug this unit into my computer so I cannot comment on what others have commented on the online software. Overall I am quite satisfied with this product.
