I recently bought the CRP 123 Premium by Launch off the Snap On truck that comes weekly to the worlds largest Yamaha Golf Car Dealer I recently started wrenching for after 15 years as a truck driver. I picked it up for $50 used.
It's an entry level professional grade diagnostic tool with an amateur price tag and can be bought new for not much more than a $120 from I've seen online.
I've used it on my '03 XJ8 Sport and so far it works as intended. Quite happy with the purchase and it has really good reviews from what I've seen .
I was able to take it home for a week and try it out first which was cool.
It monitors and streams 88 functions of the engine live on a 4" colored screen and does graphs. I haven't, as of yet, used it to it's full capability as it also does the Transmission, ABS, and Airbags.
For those looking for a little more than just a code reader, it's a good buy and supposedly works on all Asian, European, and American gasoline vehicles from 2001 on to I believe 2017 and diesel from 2004 on. It updates via a computer and USB cable.

Just got my CRP 123 Premium off the UPS truck today from Amazon. I downloaded the updater software, updated with the latest modules (including the Jaguar one), and connected it to my 2003 XJ8 and...it gave me a connection error. Tried it a few times, then took it over to my wife's RAV4. It worked fine on there. Grrr. I'll give it a try again tomorrow, but, poor start here.

He may have one of several fuses blown associated with the port on his car. I forget which ones but as I recall there's one in each fuse block in the rear kick panels and one in the trunk.
Or possibly bent pins.
It works great on my car. It's obviously not the scanner.

I bought this Launch X431 for my Maserati and found that it works fine with my ‘06 XK8 and my ‘00 XJ8. It’s not cheap but it reads all the modules just fine.
