50s kid has lost so much weight he should be called 25s kid now. Looking good man! 👍👍
Thank you for your time, I found the review very informative. As I'm a beginner in the field of system diagnosis, I have a specific purpose in mind for this device - to assess cars before making a purchase. I would greatly value hearing about your experiences in using it for this particular need.
That's a great video, finally a proper review of the Launch. Maybe it's a thought to get the key programmer and try it out. I have a Chinese scanner that does most things but it's not as advanced as the Launch. I really need to get my hands on one of these.
Can you check the coils individually when the engine is running ?
I know this comes with no tech support but when it comes time to having to redo the update where do you get the updates from? I know it's not from launch Tech USA
Do you know if this scanner can do online programming, say if you change a DME or a CAS module to program it back into the car?
REALLY IT VERY HELPFUL AND WE HOPE LEARN MORE SPECILLY ABOUT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SOLENIDE FAULTS AND HOW TO CHECK THEM WITH LAUNCH SCANNER OR WHICH FUNCTION TO BE USED TO TRACING THE FAULT CODES OF TCM THANKS .
Thanks for your video !!
Hey squid did the launch tablet allow you to reregister the new seat heater thanks cody
Great video ❤
Hey, im wondering if this scanner works for 2012 ram 5500? Specifically chaning the PTO settings from stationary to mobile
I upgraded my launch diagun to this x431 because lot's are not supported from diagun and i'm dispointed because diagun and x431 are same function and they telling x431 is upgraded software but it's not. Mostly lot's of my diagnostic experience are disapointing from this scantool. Powerfull when supported.
Looking good 5K
Would this be exactly like the x431 diagun?
Great vids, keep em coming. Q? Can i code an e53 abs module just w the launch scanner?
Здравствуйте, подскажите какой лаунч полноценно подойдет для диагностики, кодирования программирования автомобилей мерседес w220 s 320? для себя и работы на сто спасибо заранее
Will this tool disable the auto shutdown that new cars does after 30 minor running
The first time I put it to my f10 intelligent diagnosis worked great. But now after updates it does not find the vin automatically anymore
Thank you Mr Jason we are love you so much
Привет ! 😀 Эта версия лаунча может делать онлайн и офлайн кодирование ? Какая версия лучше , глобал или евро ? Есть у версий разница ?
can you reprogram clusters? for example chevy traverse Clusters fail
good review TU. they can skip all other plugs and lower the price few hundread. I doubt if anybody has ever used any of them.
Can someone tell me if it's possible to reset the codes in the Mini Cooper footwell module with this scanner?
So about the tpms does it come with that extra tool??? Thanks and great video

I'm not great at diagnosing problems, but if you tell me the problem I can usually fix it. These scan tools are very handy in finding out the problem, but pricing is a little too steep for me. It would be nice to see something as functional in the $200-$400 range. Maybe future technology will bring pricing down a little more for us home DIY'ers.

Yeah, the pricing usually forces home DIY'ers to google the "other" software options usually available for older makes/models. For example the e46 BMW has several software packages and cables available. Not one of them is over like 60$. There is nothing you can't program yourself... from a new key to removing the dead area in the center of the temp gauge. This is one major reason I dont want to buy a new car. Who wants to be locked out of all the internals of their new investment? Yuck

Nice! I just picked this tool up and had an issue with a vehicle I was diagnosing a few days ago. I called Launch, gave them my S\N and found out that this particular Launch is not recognized by Launch tech USA. I mean, it's an authentic Launch tool, but it's a "global Launch" according to the operator. I was wondering why some American cars keep coming up as import. Is your unit a global spec as well..? I'm curious. Hope I didn't get duped! Smh

I purchased one but before actually using it attempted to talk to someone in tech support. I could not find anyone to talk to and for warranty you have to send it to China. I sent it back for those reasons.

How is this comment not highlighted for others to see? This is very useful information that could easily make or break getting this scanner. Halfway into this video I was sold on this scanner, but after reading this comment I’m moving on to something else. I’m not okay with having to ship my scanner overseas if it ever decided to act up. A product is only as good as it’s warranty and customer support.
How does this scanner compare to think tool pro3? Better or same?
@kingbolen_official

Both work similar but Launch x431 has the open system that you can stall app or access google on the device.
How is the customer support since it's an international model that's not supported by Launch USA?

With Respect you are wrong.. You illustrate the dangers of reviewing a device that you have just acquired and you have little or no hands on knowledge about its operation. This becomes the blind leading the blind. For instance you say: “for some reason ‘intelligent diagnosis’ does not work on BMWs, so I’ll skip that”. Why? This is important. As someone who accepted these early reviews and bought a Launch scanner over two years ago, I can assure you that it was my major mistake. Launch works ok on some vehicles, but often cannot complete functions on the most common models. Requested updates take weeks or months to arrive, or are completely ignored. Currently, my two year subscription has expired, so I have to use ‘Local Diagnosis’ to address the installed files and updates that I HAVE PAID FOR. Now Launch org. inform me that Local Diagnosis will cease to function if I do not log-in within 30 days, or pay $800 for another two years of substandard files and updates. I OWN A BRICK!

Launch sell chinese units whhich are not covered by any warranty allthough they claim to. When you download there Counterfeit upgrades and your vehicle then stores permanent faults in it's ECM's and launch tell you that your unit is not covered under warranty because it's a chinese unit, even though there all chinese units you will then realise that youve been robbed. BUY ANY PRODUCT FROM LAUNCH AT YOUR PERIL!!!!
