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 have used a handful of different diagnostic scanning tools of different brands and I can honestly say that this scan tool surpasses all of the other scan tools I have ever tested and personally used. In my opinion this scan tool is faster in diagnosing faults and clearing of fault codes. I was even able to diagnose a fault code on one of my vehicles that I was not able to clear with any of my other diagnostic scanning tools. Such a relief to see no more engine light on my console cluster. This scanning tool is by far more superior and functional than what I have used to and used before. It is also easy to operate and it is user friendly. I am not a full-time mechanic and I work on my own and that of my friend’s vehicles. It has done everything I needed this scanner to perform so far with the best outcome so I have no complaints of how and what to expect from this scanning tool. The fact that it out performs all of my other scanning tools that I have and used before is already a win in my books so far and worth the cost of the scanning tool. I can see that I will save a lot of money by getting accurate diagnostics results with this scanning tool.

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!

This thing is great for BMWs, I’ve performed a fuel pump bleed procedure, registered a battery replacement, removed a permanent brakelight trouble code/warning by performing can bus system resets. only thing I haven’t done with the with this thing is tried to do coding, I will edit the review once I get into encoding. I watched a few videos on YouTube about this thing before I bought it, it’s awesome. Basically I assured myself that it was a good buy, before even buying it. There’s things that you need dealer software to perform, the scanner is a way around that. Now I don’t need. ISTA/diagnostic lol…. You’re able to reset adaptations on the scanner, I’m telling you it’s great. Can confirm it is bidirectional.

“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.
