🚀 LAUNCH X431 V+ PRO Elite 4.0 Bidirectional Scan Tool: Global Version with 2 Years of Free Updates & More! Review

I purchased this tool after installing a remanufactured transmission that required Quick Learn. It was your first time using the tool, but getting the "Special Feature" was pretty easy. With the engine running, simply follow the prompts to complete the Quick Learn and shift the transmission as instructed, apply the brake simultaneously and rev the engine to a specified RPM and the transmission will relearn in seconds. Worked very well and learned my transmission properly, although she had never

Excellent product. Has worked in every car I've tested so far and will definitely give more insight into new car models. The VIN is not scanned for every car, but there is an option to enter the VIN manually or select a vehicle from a list. It is very convenient to quickly find and solve the car problem and even show you the problems your car may have without showing the warning lights on the dashboard. I have updates for the next 2 years. for all car models, and if you ever need to factory…

I have been a technician for 35 years. I had multiple scan tools and code readers. For the price, this tool is hard to beat, if anything. Shop to renew your subscription. The initial 2 year upgrade is a great deal included with your purchase. While there are some things he won't do, what he will do outweighs them. I have 3 startup scan tools and this one updates quickly. Most importantly, if you have any problems, you can easily contact online support. They are always responsive and…

I compared many scan tools before deciding to buy the Launch X431. It has more functionality than many other scanning tools I've reviewed. Love the fact that it comes with a TPMS tool. Another nice feature is that the VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) is housed on the side of the scanner body. The large screen is also a plus. I also like that the operating system is based on Android, which I assume will continue to be supported as updates are released. A few years ago I had another brand of

, I noticed a review that mentioned that prior to registering and downloading major software and vehicle updates, information was emailed to make the product work. This does not apply to the version X431 V+ (upgrade) just received. They may have increased their security, but I was able to register the device immediately using the serial number and activation code that came with the product. I believe the activation code was the key to registration which the fakes don't have. In other words, if…

This article is the real deal. So Launch is made in China no matter where you buy it. The manufacturer then sells them to distributors around the world, in the US it's Launch Tech USA, then they label different versions of Torque, Pad 2 and 3 etc. They don't make what they buy to resell or to tool suppliers to license like Matco etc. Each company adds minor changes to the look and name of the device, but at its core it's the same machine with the same software updated annually from the same…

There is a lot of controversy surrounding this tool, read on and I'll spare you the research. This is not a false tool. Everything in the box looks original and legal, nicely packaged. There are two divisions of the same company that make similar instruments: Launch USA and Launch China. This is a Chinese model. This is very similar to the US model. I chose this model for the same reason you are here, it's more economical. I've been using it daily for two months with good success. It has all…

I love this thing. In my opinion it is worth the money. It does what all those overpriced $8,000 snap-on devices do for 1/6 the price. Snap on can't write information reading software for cars, they have to rely on the manufacturer to tell them everything. So in that sense they are no different. And see, it's the only real way that matters. Everything else is just fluff and fluff that you don't need. Buy this thing instead of getting ripped off. Now there's something I think the company needs…

I was looking for an OE level scan tool for my father who has an auto shop in Mexico. I did a little research and found many scan tools with OE level diagnostic capabilities, but I needed something that would not only work with cars sold in the US, but also with cars from Latin America as they offer different models. I have found that all scanners/computers have DTC reading, scanning and plotting capabilities, but Launch x431 pro 3 v 2.0 offers much broader coverage of not only basic functions…
