Great video: ordered the tool and a F22 hoodie!

[@FritzRamos]

Thank you! 🤜🤛 I actually need to get another hoodie myself. Lol

[@davidfrank2824]

Would you happen to know with my 2011 X5 with the 3.0 diesel engine that now it's an off-road vehicle. Will this be able to recode the engine? If I removing the EGR valve and a DPF? If this one would not do it do you happen to know which one I could get that would allow me to? Either way I plan on buying one of these scanners just to keep in the car. I really enjoyed your video. I think you provided more information than anyone else did reviewing this product.

[@coenwag]

Hey Frits, do you need a subscription for this unit? Can you reset the steering angle sensor with this? Sorry no time stamps in the video

[@HumbertoCortes]

Nice video, I wish I would have gotten this pro 2.0 vs the elite one.

[@heshams774]

What is the difference between x431 Elite 2.0 and x431elite 2.0 FCG

[@user-ud1wj4ni2z]

Can that scan tool read the transmission temperature

[@georgemacdonald3087]

Very confusing. It is not called "x431 Elite 2.0 Pro" on the box. It is called "Creader Elite V2.0" It does not say x431, 2024 or Pro anywhere on the box, the user manual or the unit itself. Even more confusing is the fact that it is not mentioned in the Launch web site.

[@bryandiaz3108]

Can this short circuit counter reset on frm? Like the tool 32?

[@shorn77777]

can it communicate to peripherals (modules connected to K BUS). Or CAN BUS E 46.

[@Jaidc1]

Can this tool remove elv lock

[@todotune2767]

But what about the coding, can it code the ekpm?

[@sasovrtic2501]

Can i delite adblue sistem falier with this scaner?

[@usvijim7826]

How does this compare to the Otofix? Smog due in 11 months, no catless DP though

[@FritzRamos]

For the money it's hard to beat the Launch, especially if you don't care about the extra features. But it's hard to go back once you've tried the otofix. For me, I would still pay the extra for the otofix. However, if I were using it as needed (less than 6 times a year), then I would save money and go with the Launch.

[@johnkim821]

Are the higher priced $600 scan tools as capable as the X431 in regards to BMW's? I like what this scanner can do for the BMW's, but since I own other brands of cars as well I'd like to look into "multi brand" scanners?

[@beforebefore]

There are upgrades available to add other brands.

[@educationaltvshows9950]

Upgrades that cost arm n leg

[@juantwo322]

There’s one for BMW, Audi & VW same price I believe, but is it better?Willing to spend more for a better unit..

[@educationaltvshows9950]

Then get the universal unit. Launch 919, Autel, Xtool, Otofix or similar in about 300 + - pricerange.

[@meeragray7441]

This thing is a scam! I bought one of these to reset the battery on my e90 335i the thing does nothing but basic codes unless you buy each additional feature for 70$ each. You cant reset anything...got a return label coming and going with something else.. buyer beware

[@ProgramTheVoid]

Let me know what scan tool you get next, I got bmw 335i too and looking to code my injectors

[@meeragray7441]

@CyberLabyrinth I'm grabbing a mhd tuner for now just so I can register my battery and a few others and then decide if I wanna buy the licence and tunes at a later point

[@senpailonestarr2787]

I agree I bought it for my Nissan and it doesn’t have a Nissan selection and can’t auto detect my vin.

[@michaelstark777]

Thanks for your post. I was considering buying one. I'll keep looking.

[@billtred4044]

Also beware of this dude... Dial into this old YT video "BMW E39 5 Series Airbag Light Reset" then read the comments

[@ericliu6692]

Code isn't working

[@louismat319]

will this work for other vehicles aside from BMW?

[@educationaltvshows9950]

NO!

[@TheManzoormd]

Will this work on 2019 BMW X5 xdrive40i ? Thanks!!!

[@kingbolen_official]

Yes

[@cargofan1477]

Hi Fritz, cost in Germany ~500€

[@kingbolen_official]

Under 189,00€ on amazon DE

[@thomasdiersch1181]

Make sure you are looking at the one for BMW. There are a lot of variations on the 431 scanner. Some are over 1000$ 😮

[@guidomeglio4800]

Thks for a video Bro. I have a problem compensation EWS - DME on E65 series, and i think this scan can resolve my problem.

[@thomasdiersch1181]

$259 in Canada

[@FritzRamos]

What?! Even with all the coupons and discount codes?

[@thomasdiersch1181]

yes @@FritzRamos even tried to buy to US delivery and took the hit for US to CDN exchange. No joy!
