My first comment is below to Robert Maggil. Basically I said dont bother with this scanner. After owning a Launch X431 Pro for two years, I am still struggling with its half baked files. Yesterday my irritation boiled over; I needed to code new injectors in a Mitsubishi Triton ML diesel. A common enough vehicle! But as usual Launch reads the original codes ok, then tells me my new codes "are out of range". Ive been here before with other makes. You need to get the file updated when and if Launch Tech's get around to it. Meanwhile, my clients think I'm the clown, not Launch. Last year, I got promises for an urgent Subaru update; over several months, I did eventually get to code the code injectors, but I eventually gave up and the file remains a mash of petrol and diesel data that is useless to the workshop.

Thank you for video
Question
How much the update & it will be for all cars
Thank you

[DannysSaladBar]

Exactly, to reprogram your cvt transmission after replacing it, the dealership will charge 500 plus the cost of towing the car to the dealership will set you back minimum 600-700 dollars with that money you can buy the x431 pro mini that has the ip chara learn transmission programming function which is very simple to do, just scan the qr code on your new transmission and it will do it for you.

Just picked up the x431 pro3s+. It’s an awesome tool, but a major learning curve.

[TheTatoloco]

Have you done any video on tuning scan tools like Cobb for a VW or Subaru

[hasanaydin]

Hi do you have to connect the scanner to the internet or dose it works with out internet connection its better if it works with out internet connection and you only connect to internet for updates
Thanks for the good vidoe

[aljonalfonso]

Would you recommend this for asian cars? Toyota, Honda, Nissan and some chinese cars?

[djwdeaf]

I've owned one of these since 2020, have not renewed the software since 2022 when it expired and was going to buy a new scanner because of renewal cost of like $4-500 but if u go to renewals in the App Mall I got a full year for $135. I have the HD truck set as well.

[abdelrahmanmohamed]

Could be used without subscription with all functions?

[philgarcia]

I'm sold on it . Thanks for the information you have provided.

[newerak]

I am looking to use the x431 v4 to turn off the seat belt ding, as well as turn off open sliding door ding, and leave back up camer on. How do i do this? 2019 mercedes sprinter

[AaronWalske]

Auto Fun, is that the launch x431 pro made in China or launch tech usa? Mine is from China. What are the differences?

[IsackMichael-povo]

Hello if the tablet get demage can be replaced by another tablet of the same specification? Or you have to purchase another launch complete?

[George-fm]

Hi, Great video...I'm just a home mechanic but have 3 different cars. Will the Launch X431 Pro work on my 1996 Mercedes SL500 R129 ? with the OBD1, as that's the car I'm really getting it for. Also do you have any videos on this model ? Thanks George

[Tony-rfls]

I recently purchased a Launch X431 Pros V for use on a 2021 Iveco Daily 50-180 Euro 6. Would you have video on scheduled servicing reset of vehicle service light and zeroing the DPF regeneration counter.

[georgef]

Does this x431 have topology like other brands?

[micaht]

I just returned my Ancel V6 because the bi-directional functions did not work on most vehicles. Can anyone verify that this actually does things like turning windshield wipers and headlights on and off ? How much is the yearly fee for updates after the free period? Does this charge you to unlock special functions like the. Think diag brand? The scan tool brands are very unclear in their advertising and mislead many people it makes it really hard to narrow down a good choice

[McAdamsMechanics]

Do you need to buy the diagnostic tools or does it come with everything out the box?
