This TV remote is fantastic for the person who refuses
to leave their sofa during the cold winter months.
Constructed and made in China, where quality products
have been fashioned for 100 years in labor camps, it
has all the right buttons to put you in a mood for
festive TV watching. Start off with the volume control
optimizer, silences out annoying screeching sounds
normally heard in cheap TVs, then move to the 3 in 1
picture zoom where you can spot goofs in films and bad
teeth in local news anchor people, and finally an
angler deflector which reduces glare from fading suns.
In all, a handy device for the constipated traveler.

My wife bought me this for my 03 PT Cruiser CRD and it worked fine. Also tested on an 04 Corsa CDTI and a Nissan X trail. It read all cars without a problem. Unfortunately all were healthy so could not try the reset facility.
Note.. As far as I can see it does not appear to reset the “maintenance due indicator” which is a big minus for me. Hence 3 stars, If I’m wrong then 5 stars.

The product was simple to use. Attached to the vehicle read the code and solved the problem. It happened to be a simple problem that I could have repaired without the scanner, but the scanner did shut off the check engine light. I do not know enough about the functions of the scanner to say more than that.

I just received my CP9145 Actron Scanner today… To say that I was surprised by the size of it is an understatement !! Although the Amazon review lists it as: 13 x 5 x 10 inches ; 4 pounds… of which the dimensions are ridiculous… I was not prepared for the large size of this unit. It actually measures about 9 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 1 1/2 and weighs out at a little over 1 pound with the cord attached.
I had recently had occasion to have a code read at Autozone on one of my vehicles… and they used an orange scanner which was a nice unit easily held in your hand. I guess I should have asked or noted what unit they were using… It looked a lot like one of the Actron units that I have recently looked at and was prepared to buy. The CP9135 caught my eye as a nice unit, but the CP9145 was somewhat better and at a good price… I really thought I was getting something similar or perhaps the same unit that Autozone uses in their business.
Well, I was totally wrong… This thing is huge, and you are barely able to wrap your fingers around the smaller bottom part of the unit.
Ok, enough said… you can see that I am totally unimpressed with the size of this thing.
I have recently been having a check engine light, on my 1995 Mitsubishi Galant come on. I know.. this scanner is supposed to only check 1996 and later. But my Mitsubishi has an OBDII hook up port… so, I was hoping that this would read my fault code. Well, it doesn’t, and it gives me an error that the unit may not be hooked up properly etc..
I also have a small handheld unit that just reads the code numbers… and it doesn’t read anything on the above vehicle either. I was hoping this unit would read the codes that are causing the problem… but it is no better than the simple two button code reader. Somewhere I am sure I have read that this code scanner will read OBDI codes… Well.. not on a 1995 Mitsubishi it won’t….. even with the newer OBDII plug in.
Also, I was aware that some reviews have been critical of the short attachment cord. I have to echo those sentiments. There is no reason to supply such a short cord with this unit. The next size up as an accessory, that you can buy for this unit, is something like 8 or 9 feet long !! That is totally stupid !! Why they don’t supply it with a 1 1/2 to 3 ft. cord or list it as an accessory, is beyond me !!
Those of course are my first impressions with the unit. It may perform flawlessly when attached to a vehicle that is of 1996 or newer vintage. It seems to read ok, and I have no problem with it’s workability at the present time.
My main problems with the unit, is it’s large size and short cord…. Mainly with it’s ergonomics. It is totally unhandy to use… and there are no good reasons for it being this way.
With further use of the unit, I may place an addendum to this review.. but I doubt that it will change my mind as to the useability or handiness of it. Thank you !!
Oh, I just wanted to add… The next time I am in Autozone, I am going to find out what unit they use to check codes for their customers… This gargantuan thing I purchased is not what I really want in my tool box. Again.. Thank you !!

I purchased this based upon the add that it’s for vehicles 1996 and newer. It(the add) fails to mention this is probably an older scanner that only has vehicles made to and including 2003. I have a 2005 Jeep and the engine wasn’t made until then. There are scanners that can be undated and that’s why I had to return it.
