Launch CRP919E BT / CRP919X BT currently supports a range of extension modules, including Motorcycle diagnostic adapter kit, OBD1 connector, VSP600 videoscope, IMMO software pack, X-Prog3, X431 Key Programmer, X-Prog3 PC Adapter, i-TPMS tool, and BST360.
Is it possible to add more apps such as Oscilloscope App to the device?
Yes, it is possible.
While the Launch X431 Oscilloscope- S2-2 Sensor Box Oscilloscope (2 channels) and O2-2 Scope Box Oscilloscope (4 Channels) are only compatible with the X431 Pro series and higher-end PAD series tools, you can download third-party oscilloscope apps to enhance the functionality of your CRP919EBT/CRP919XBT.
For some users, having the ability to use Google, Hscope, and a scanner all in one device is crucial. Let’s walk through the process of adding third-party extension apps to your device.
About Launch X431 CRP919E BT:
The Launch CRP919E BT is a powerful automotive diagnostic platform that stands out with its:
- Intuitive interface
- Fast performance
- Unique ability to install third-party apps through a hidden Google Play Store (a rarity in competing scan tools)
Let’s look at how to unlock its full potential.
To access the Play Store:
Navigate to:
Other Modules → Files → ES File Explorer → APP
Locate and open the Play Store app.
From there, you can install useful applications such as:
- YouTube (for repair tutorials)
- Google Chrome (ensure updates to prevent crashes)
- Hscope Oscilloscope App
- And many others
Pro Tip: Leave frequently used apps running in the background for faster access—even after reboots.
About Oscilloscope Functionality via Hscope App:
Although not officially compatible with Launch’s own oscilloscope, the CRP919E BT can become a capable scope tool using the Hscope app, developed by Martin Loren and available on the Play Store.
- Hardware Compatibility
To use the Hscope app effectively, you’ll need compatible USB-based oscilloscopes such as:
- HS502 (2-channel, 12-bit)
High-resolution and sampling rates
Ideal for automotive signals (e.g., CAN bus, sensors)
- HEC 10008 (8-channel)
Supported, but Hscope app limits usage to 4 channels unless additional licenses are purchased
Note:
The app performs best with 2-channel scopes and high-resolution hardware. Lower-end 8-bit scopes may struggle with fast signals.
The Hscope app is incredibly versatile, offering a variety of useful features:
- Automotive Overlays: Includes options for 360° or 720° overlays and four-stroke cycle charts to assist with waveform troubleshooting.
- Long Captures: Record up to 26 minutes at 150 kilosamples per second, ideal for diagnosing intermittent faults.
- Multimeter Mode: Provides additional diagnostic flexibility.
- Customizable Settings: Adjust sampling rate, time base, voltage scale, attenuation, filters, and triggers to suit your needs.
While the free version of Hscope supports a single channel, paid licenses unlock additional channels and automotive-specific modules, with prices starting around $20—an affordable upgrade for enhanced functionality.
Limitations & Considerations
Hscope UI is less intuitive than PC-based software, especially when adjusting timebase/sampling settings.
No traditional Android home screen – Accessing apps requires using file explorers or shortcuts.
Conclusion
While the CRP919E BT doesn’t support Launch’s official oscilloscope module, its open Android platform allows you to install powerful third-party tools like Hscope. This transforms your scan tool into a multi-functional diagnostic device that can analyze waveforms, browse the web, and stream repair content—all from one compact unit.
