The complete technical rundown.
Plug in and go — everything you need, in one case.
Good to know before you buy.
Yes. CR Elite includes lifetime free software upgrades. No annual subscription required.
Yes, absolutely. Unlike basic OBD2 code readers that only scan the engine, the CR Elite can access and scan all available electronic modules in your vehicle.
Not necessarily. Send your VIN to our support team and we’ll confirm AutoVIN compatibility within 24 hours. In the meantime, you can manually select your vehicle model — all diagnostic functions will still work normally. We’ll add your VIN to our database in the next update.
Please keep ignition on and engine off. Record freeze frame data first before clearing codes. Persistent hardware faults need physical repair prior to code clearance. For some systems such as SRS and ABS, certain fault codes can only be cleared after the underlying fault has been physically repaired.
The CR Elite P is the upgraded successor to the CR Elite. It transforms the traditional button-operated scanner into a smart 5″ Android touchscreen device, adding convenient one-click Wi-Fi updates and advanced ECU coding—all without needing a PC.
