These tools have been on the market for a while. It's worth the extra $$ to buy one that spans all brands and has bi-directional bluetooth so you can have the dongle plugged into the OBD port and the computer with you anywhere around the vehicle. I started with a Launch and moved to an Autel with TPMS capability. I will say that TPMS is a bit overkill but it's nice having a built in activator, I can read all 4 sensors to the device then upload the latest location configuration all in one shot after a tire rotation. My wife didn't understand value of this device until I rolled down a window from outside of the car!

You're the man! Thank you for showing this to us GX guys

Here I was not wanting to buy anything else for my pair of GXs and you have to make a video of this awesome thing. Now I need it!

Wow Bob, looks like we should try that thing out! Happy 4th!

Purchased in anticipation of your the tranny drain and fill video. Thanks for all your great videos :)

@GXBOB I wonder if it can do the stuff the dealer would normally do for you - not sure what they are called - but settings like if the unlock door button unlocks just drivers door or all doors . Off hand I can’t remember the other settings that can be customized. Thanks for all you do for the GX community GXBOB.

It has so many options for customized settings i would be surprised if it didn’t. I’m not able to check as I’m at LAX on my way to a far away place. 😊

Can you adjust for tire size, for the speedometer and odometer?

Nothing is better than Techstream on a laptop in my opinion.

@@drewd8697 If you’re imagining doing all your car diagnostic and fixes with your laptop within reach then that’s fine but I can bring my scanner everywhere I go and use it at a moments notice. There’s no way I’m storing my $3000 laptop in my truck to go on a 4 day camping trip in the middle of the forest. Left side cargo area compartment has a perfect storage for your scanner.

Sir, Toyota X431 supports engine oil temperature reading. The exact function depends on whether your vehicle records that data. If the vehicle records engine oil temperature data, the tool supports viewing it. If the vehicle itself does not record engine oil temperature data it cannot be viewed.😊

@@prestonwatts7179 Hello, sir. The previous version did have support for the TPMS reset feature, so there was a description of support for this feature inside the details. However, considering that Toyota vehicles come with tire pressure sensors, this feature has been split into a separate retail component and needs to be paired with the 5011E Tire Pressure Device to use the TPMS Reset feature separately. We have sent the issue back to Product Operations and the new details will remove the TPMS reset feature.☺
