I review the Kingbolen K7 bluetooth scanner. It has over 31 resets, and works on over 100 car manufacturers. It is bidirectional and can perform actuation tests such as: window, rear mirrors, sunroof, door, solenoids, wipers, headlamp, and fuel injectors to name a few. Some of the resets are: Oil /SAS/EPB/TPMS Reset, Battery Matching, ABS Bleeding, IMMO Matching, Injector Coding, etc. I like how the scanner is expandable and you can add things like a borescope to it. It is pretty fast, has auto vin, and a quick browser that can access the internet. I tested it on a Lexus and an Acura and it performed very well.

I have this K7 for some weeks now, but on Audi OBD connectors the VCI (the Bluetooth OBD dongle) doesn’t seem to fit correctly. Other brands (not so much, but had others) seems to fit ok. On Audis I have to push it on very hard, and it looses connection now and then.

@GarageKing 6 месяцев назад

I find the connection tight as well, there is a steel spring tab on it that makes it tight, maybe a little too tight. Maybe it prevents the thing from getting knocked off? I find it tight on the Audi and BMW.

Can this change the odd my one stuffed out car doing 130.000 km got a new one but the problem is the new cluster done 630866km

@GarageKing 11 месяцев назад

Hey thanks for the comment. You can reach out to Kingbolen as the scan tool is really good, but the options vary between the different manufactures. You can reach out to them on RU-vid @kingbolen_official is the channel name. Thanks for the comment :)

What is a “video scope” you refer to in the end?

@GarageKing 6 месяцев назад

Hey There, this is it amzn.to/3vo3QLJ and my understanding was that you could use it with the K7; however, I learned (after I shot the video) that this may not work with the K7 which is unfortunate.

@ahmadlbl Год назад

Hi friend it seems very similar to launch crp 919E work the same, which one you like it more you tried both of them

@GarageKing Год назад

Hey there, if I was sitting in the vehicle and didn't have to get out I like the 919E. But if I have to get out or walk around then the K7 is better as I really like the bluetooth. In terms of what they can do, they are both similar. I do lean towards the 919E as I had a Launch CRP429 before so I'm familiar with the Launch menu and functions.

@ahmadlbl Год назад

@@GarageKing i see my friend, maybe kingbolen can it do more functions, iam sure their is a cooperation between kingbolen and Thinkcar thinktool company, they are making good tools

@GarageKing Год назад

@@ahmadlbl Yes they are great tools, this K7 did remind me of the Thinkcar, but I have never tested the thinkcar so I can't say. You really can't go wrong with either one.

Can I use it to change the map of my ECU and gain more power or economy?

@GarageKing 9 месяцев назад

I don't think it can do that, it sounds like you want to tune your engine. I think that must be done with one of those devices where you can buy on line tunes, or you can take your car in and they will change the ECU map based on dynometer settings.

How do you access the camera?

@GarageKing 8 месяцев назад

Hey There, very easy, on any page you are on, or from the main menu just swipe down from the top. A menu will come down and you can video or use camera.

Can I fix central lock using this device?

@GarageKing 9 месяцев назад

depends on which vehicle. I find the functions vary between vehicle manufacturers

Hi can this work with x prog3 launch?

@GarageKing 11 месяцев назад

Good question and to be honest I'm not sure. You could reach out to KingBolen as they are huge distributor and are good with answering questions.

@@GarageKing how do I reach out to them did email but no response

@GarageKing 11 месяцев назад

@@locksmithsandcarprofession2428 Hey There, so for the late response, I'm on vacation so just checking comments once every day or two when I can. They do have a RU-vid channel so I would make a comment on one of their videos to see if they respond. Their channel is called "Kingbolen Auto Scanner Center"

Can you do key programming?

@GarageKing 10 месяцев назад

I believe it can, but for which vehicles I'm not sure. It varies from vehicle to vehicle.

@richardr788 2 месяца назад

In general, I would say older vehicles.

hello, can this tool be used to code diesel injectors?

@GarageKing 21 час назад

As far as I know yes, as long as its not for commercial trucks. Must still be for passenger trucks.

FAKE to read mileage history

@GarageKing 7 месяцев назад

Not sure what you mean by mileage history, do you mean how many times the mileage was changed? Or the current mileage? The programming does vary between manufacturers.
