X431 Pro 5 you gotta watch this…. I’m surprised 😮 but no how you would think!

[GunnyNinja]

I'm halfway through and wondering if it's worth it to watch the rest of this to see if you figured out how to use this. The two most important buttons, you ignored. Health report and system selection. That's where everything you are looking for is. Secondly, the mall is not based on what is installed in your device. Walmart doesn't just carry things you don't own. Same here. Those things are for other devices that don't come with them, not for yours which has the stuff you said it doesn't. Maybe if you update it first, you'd see it all. Now if I bail and you figure it out, just know that I don't have a lot of patience.

I have a launch X431 V Pro, it works fine on the Asian and Euro cars but can't say for the American cars. I was thinking of upgrading to the pro 5 but now am thinking twice. Thanks for the review

Was watching just to see if you would figure it out lol. I have x431v+ and expired subscription and it still will do most bi directional controls. Only issue I have had was stallantis sgw issues with new rams. Paid for autoauth to hook up and still need to renew dodge Chrysler for it to read dtc or gain access to bi directional. Also tried with 12+8 and still won’t allow me to had to renew service for those. With it expired it would still connect and read my 17 ram 3500. So for those of you looking yes it works and does a good job of it. Though I did have to use for scan to calibrate a valve body on a 6.7 ford

I myself have the launch x 431v+ pro elite and love it. I noticed while you're using the profile you're saying you can't perform any actuation tests or special functions and you didn't realize or see while you're making the video that your modules are saying not equipped you either have a bad wire on the car or you're not connected right with the scanner that's why you can't have access to anything check your car out and make sure all your connections are proper and you'll be able to utilize the scanner as intended

[chrismacri]

I just noticed as well your check engine light isn't illuminated in the on key position meaning your vehicle is not communicating. It's not the scanner it's your car

NOT LAUNCH FOR THE USA, ONLY FOR EU! The seller should’ve informed you about that

[rickwalters]

Thanks for the effort. When I read through their high dollar offerings they didn’t say much about American-made vehicles. They seem to be focused on the Asian market. The whole idea with scanners of not knowing what you’re gonna get until you buy it is a bunch of BS. Send that baby packing back to where it came from. When a potential customer asks ‘can you do such and such?’ Any the reply is ‘maybe’. Game over!

I'm a professional tech doing full time diagnostics and programming.. Don't let this video turn u off to this tool.

While I appreciate the effort taken to provide content, this video is full of misinformation and user error.

Fact is the launch/thinkcar etc x431 based scan tools are among the best/highest functioning scan tools avail for the money. I use this exact tool daily and can't recommend it enough. No tool is perfect but this one is a must have.

I HAVE A LAUNCH X431 V PRO, ,, BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT LAUNCH WOULD MAKE ANYONE HAVE TO PAY FOR THOSE SPECIAL FUNCTIONS. BECAUSE WHEN THE TIME COMES FOR ME TO UPDATE MY SCAN TOOL IF THIS REMAINS THE CASE I WOULDN'T BE BUYING A LAUNCH

[Jpilgrim]

😂 Come on man. The VCM won’t power up off of the data link connector and no communication with the PCM should tell you that there is an issue on the vehicle side not the scan tool.

[javedhossain]

Your vehicle obd port has an issue or your key is not turned to ON position. You dont need to connect to the cigarette lighter port to power up.

[phillipjlynch]

Awesome. This is the kind of information that people appreciate. Please keep us updated. Keep away from Crappy unboxing videos.

[gavinseepaul]

Thanks for your advice I was thinking about buying one but I change my mind

[Jc-bouu]

I just got one and it comes with 2 year free updates.

[garyjohnson]

You need the Red Launch the Black one isn't for American cars but the red one is

[kevinstill]

Oh wow. I was thinking about getting that. I have a XTool D8. I was going to get a bigger, more professional tester.

[notfound.....]

For a professional shop setting everybody that we deal with stays with autel, there must be a reason.

[carlosk]

I was thinking about a launch but I saw in the comments on amazon that they like to nickle and dime you on the special functions... I assumed it was just on the low end model (which fair enough) but nickle and dime you on a 1800$ plus charging you for scan tool to be update.... is robbery...

[bigblockcutlass]

Thanks, Find the same thing but not as bad with my X Tool.

[HOTRODRICO]

what scanner would you recommend for the price range of $800-1700 ? thanks bro for making the video
