LAUNCHX431 PRO Elite [2025 New Model] Fully Functional Bidirectional Scanner with CANFD&DOIP,ECU Coding,38+ Resets,FCA AutoAuth,Full System Scanner for All Cars,2-Year Update

I've used several different diagnostic tools (other launch), Matco scan tools, Autel and Snap on scan tools professionally before this one, and I can honestly say this device is the BEST I've used so far.First, it's considerably faster at auto detecting VINs if it's available for that vehicle and it has a simple to use interface with a lot of features. Our shop purchased an Autel scanner recently that is roughly $1200 ( not sure the model but it’s a pro scanner) I prefer this android OS interface any day of the week. Much easier to navigate and find what module you need.The live data can be graphed and overlapped for a plethora of things, and recorded while doing so, the full fault scan allows you to go straight into the module you want to access with one button, regardless of whether it has faults or not and the TPMS failure to my surprise is quick and easy to use. One noteworthy thing is that every time I've used TPMS so far, it's required internet access even though I've downloaded all of the manufacturers programs for it already, but it's not a hassle generally. Bi directional controls work quickly and easily, and even the oil life reset is almost always useful as it will tell you how to do it if you can't do it via scan tool, which is awesome. The screen is very sharp and clear perhaps 1080p or a little over, I guess), and since it's running Android, you can access the internet like a normal tablet if you need to Google something. It will offer an internet search of the code fault too after scanning to help you get some information of what you’re dealing with. The fact that the scan tool I used to use from Snap-on was almost 5 grand and was slower and didn't have all the features this one has says a lot, and I like Snap on , Autel for a lot of things, but I'm impressed by the simplicity , the features , the speed and intuitiveness of this scanner. I’d choose this one if you’re a Tech or serious Enthusiast looking to save a dollar , scan like a badass, and use all the automotive pro features they don’t want you to have to be able to diagnose on your own! Oscilloscope, Key Programming, Coding, ADAS calibration, Oil Reset, Steering Angle Sensor and Battery reset to name just a FEW!My only complaint is I wish it was blue tooth but this is minor and I believe you can buy it. I may do that!

What can i say? This pro level tool is everything you could need and then some. I've always been a Autelscan tool guy but launch is really starting to put out some great tools. Right off the bat something i have yet to see in another scanner is if your computer doesn't have the vin stored instead of manually typing in the vin you can actually use the rear cam to scan the vin and it works amazingly. I will say in low light it's not great but if you have a flash light on it, it will light right up. This thing is bidirectional which is one of those things you got to have as a professional mechanic.So far i have really enjoyed using this it's very user friendly faster than all my other scan tools, and has all the tools i need to diag and test components.Some of the features included are-TPMS-Brake Bleed-Battery Matching-steering angle relearn-throttle body relearn-dpf regenall of these and more are just plain and simple needed in this day and age. unfortunately we can't just not have the tool to do it. but, the great thing is we can now get this tool for a extremely affordable price. while using this the graphing features have really been spot on and comparing graphs and being able to record graphs has helped me a lot. being able to program keys is a quick side hustle as well. you can have it programmed in just a few minutes. the tablet itself doesn't seem glitchy it just works and gives a fantastic experience!

As soon as I purchased the Launch I put it to use.I was doing a brake job and used it to release these new ebrakes. Worked perfectly and saved me a bunch of time. It has SOOO many functions!! I will be learning new things with this X431 Pro Elite each time I use it! It’s very sturdy, connects fast, and I love the warning it gives to remind you not to leave it in the vehicle when you’re done!! Can’t tell you how many times I have left or almost left one of these scanners in a car!Overall all, GREAT product! And sooo many functions. This will be the first tool used when I start a diagnostic check!!!!

“Someone found a way to sell old tablets”I bought the Launch X431 Pro Elite hoping for advanced features like ECU coding, which were advertised. However, the device doesn’t offer these features out of the box. ECU coding is simply unavailable unless you purchase additional accessories, which isn’t mentioned in the product description. This is misleading marketing.Cons:1. No ECU coding: It doesn’t work without extra expensive modules.2. Overpriced: Cheaper scanners do the same thing, and live data can be accessed with a cheap OBD2 tool and free software.3. Poor customer support: They never replied to my emails.4. Overhyped marketing: It seems like they’re selling an old tablet with a diagnostic app.Summary:Waste of time and money. This scanner doesn’t deliver on its promises. I returned it and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for real functionality. Cheaper alternatives do the same job.
