Original Launch X-431 OBDII Diagnostic Scan Tools

Launch CRP919E ,  CRP919X , CRP123X V3.0 diagnostic scanners do not have built-in CAN FD protocol. To diagnose the latest GMs, you will need an extra CAN FD adapter. Here we will show how to use and connect the  CAN FD adapter  with these scanners. NOTE: CRP123X or CRP123 older version does not have CAN FD compatibility. Requires CRP123X  V3.0. CRP919E/X BT (the Bluetooth version) has built-in CAN FD protocol, does not need a CAN FD adapter.   How to connect Launch CRP919E/CRP919X/CRP123X V3 with CAN FD adapter?
