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
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.

Actron CP9580 No problems with supplier.
Actron CP9580 No problems with supplier.
Unfortunately this device does not work on my vehicle.
I live in Australia and have a 2002 Hyundai Elantra. The vehicles make and model can be selected from the list in the device setup however it will not communicate when connected ('link error'). I understand the protocol used on the same car in the US is OBD compliant. The make and model is available in the setup procedure so I assume it works in the US but for some reason it won't work in Australia.
I tried it on a later model Elantra in Australia (2004) and it connected but the functionality appeared very limited. It appears this technology in Australia is very 'hit and miss' for vehicles manufactured before 2006.
This is very disappointing but I have no problems with the supplier. The device arrived promptly and in excellent condition. The technical support provided was also very good. The durability and feature set is excellent for the price.
I accept full responsibility for the compatibility problem. I researched the issues as much as possible before purchasing however information is difficult to obtain on foreign vehicles and it is not possible to 'try before you buy' because they are not sold here. I was prepared to take the risk but it didn't work out.
Nevertheless I will keep the device and try it on later model cars.

Actron CP9580 Auto Scanner Works great - as advertised.
Actron CP9580 Auto Scanner Works great - as advertised.
Purchased because of ABS/Traction Control lights illuminated. At $100/ea for ABS sensors, I came out ahead buying this and finding our that the problem was the right rear sensor. Our cars are getting up in miles, and I expect this tool to come in handy a lot in the future.
Actron CP9580 Auto Scanner A mechanics awesome tool.
Since I'm still learning on how to use this gizmo I can't really explain how to proper use it right until I master it. However if you plan on odering one I suggest you add to your cart 4 AAA batteries, you don't need them because it will turn on when you plug it in on your car without the batteries. But if you want to mess with it away from your car and in your room or somewhere indoors then you'll need the batteries. I still enjoy my Diagnostic handheld device.

Actron CP9580 Auto Scanner Excellent!
Actron CP9580 Auto Scanner Excellent!
I don't have any complaints. This is the first scanner I have bought and has worked great. The code connect feature is very handy.
Actron CP9580 Auto Scanner It was a good choose.
It was a great it helpe me a lot on ford,Honda ,jeep. And it help me to solve and finde the trouble.
Actron CP9580 Auto Scanner Quantum Leap Forward in Vehicle Diagnostics!
In my teens I spent a lot of time with my uncle and his trusty Sun Tuner troubleshooting thousands of cars. So to be able to have most of that PLUS over 3 million ASE mechanics verified fixes all contained in a hand held unit is simply amazing!
Have tested it on my 2000 Saab that had an intermittent fault incorrectly diagnosed by my trusted shop as a mass air flow sensor issue. Using the CodeConnect diagnosis, research on Internet forums, and further conversations with the shop owner, we have finally isolated the problem as the throttle body. I don't know how I lived without a code scanner before... I was also able to reset a ton of old codes in my 2000 BMW Z3.
I also highly recommend spending the extra $10 for the case to protect this investment.
