Launch Creader 3001 can be compared with older Creader models 5 or 6. Like the old models, the 3001 only performs diagnostics on the engine block.
It doesn’t recognize any other car systems (automatic gearbox, airbags, ABS).

Based on all this, we can conclude that Launch Creader 3001 has the same functions as the Elm 327 adapter running on Android or iOS.
The difference in price between Elm 327 and Launch 3001 is explained by the fact that stand-alone scanners such as 3001 are initially more expensive in production.
Summing up, we can tell that Creader 3001 is suitable for a personal use by people who do not want to clutter up their phones with extra software, and are looking for free and properly functioning programs on torrent trackers and in the Internet.
