Expert Review:
The Actron CP9125 is a reasonably-priced, no-frills OBD2 scanner that is dead simple to use. The CP9125 is very small and comes equipped with a single-line screen and two buttons. You won't find multi-mode this and that with the CP9125, but the added benefit of the rather basic design is the straightforward use characteristics. No batteries are required - simply plug the tool in to the OBD2 port of your car, and all of the codes are displayed on the screen. Press one button to scroll through the codes, and the other to clear the code. Some users point out the inaccuracy of the included code manual, but this complaint seems rather silly in today's 'Information Age' where your smartphone can allow you access to the appropriate internet forums full of information regarding your particular vehicle. The Actron CP9125 is very compact and will easily fit in the glove compartment or door pocket of your car, and is a great tool to have especially if your car is prone to throwing regular CELs that drive you up the wall.
