is Launch X431 Pro Elite scanner better than Snap-on

[@damiandelapp5490]

Just purchased one $440.00 Its a no brainer, At $150 for most shops when you stop by 3 shop visits and its paid for!

[@HouseDoctorRay]

You got that right. I recently bought a used Toyota that only had one key fob. I bought a generic fob from Amazon and programmed it using the Launch. Saved a couple hundred dollars by avoiding the dealership.

Great down to earth review, much appreciated

[@esousa486]

Another GREAT video ..... I has purchased a $170 scan tool and you are CORRECT, as it is very "basic" ... I think i will buy this one , as I am sure with 4 different vehicles (presently), it should pay foe itself, quickly "Thanks" for posting this one . 👌👍 Rick

I recently bought a used car that only came with one fob. Bought a generic fob from Amazon and programmed it using the Launch. Saved myself a fortune.

[@luiscastillo530]

You could buy 3 of this for the price of the base snap on scanner an hold its own compared to the upper models

[@tenengetienne9454]

Thanks for the video I have one question how to use toolbox features on the scanner

[@HouseDoctorRay]

You have to be connected to WiFi to use most of them.

Can this model do a ECM / injectors reset on a Mercedes W205?

[@HouseDoctorRay]

I don't know all of the specifics by vehicle. Go to their website and use the 'contact us' option. www.launchx431online.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwveK4BhD4ARIsAKy6pMLev36oWN9odmKX5q58_6GINxmQoVH-7qZ_SaYgvsuT2MVoUyYiPxkaAk2aEALw_wcB

[@rickslife]

There are many versions of this, which one to buy is super confusing.

[@HouseDoctorRay]

Check the software time period and renewal costs. Launch has been around a while so I don't think you'll end up with a 'dead' scanner like might happen to smaller companies.

[@rickslife]

@ thank you!

[@moseskinoti-d6k]

Can you change the language for the navigation panel for various vehicles using it?

[@HouseDoctorRay]

I believe so but it would be application wide, not vehicle specific.

[@markkemp7531]

Can this be use to reprogram transmission

[@HouseDoctorRay]

If you're talking about programming it to match the VIN after a replacement I don't think so. It will do TCM resets on some makes but will not get a new transmission to work on a GM or other VIN matched transmissions.

[@crodriguez2004]

What would you recommend for a code reader under $100 . . Any recommendations would be appreciated . . Thank you

[@HouseDoctorRay]

This obviously won't have the same functionality but will help you with basic troubleshooting. amzn.to/3YYvCLu

[@DownloaderVideo]

Come on man…less than $100?…..It is your car for God’s sake….invest some money and get something decent.

[@miketigra8995]

There is a scanner (attachment) called Delphi - does same bi-direction and has same functionality I'd say🤷‍♂️

[@clevc112]

Wish you could send a link to the update software file.

[@clevc112]

I can not get mine to update correctly. It keeps saying the file is missing or damaged and to delete and download again. Every time it does the same thing...

[@HouseDoctorRay]

Have you tried contacting their customer support?

[@clevc112]

@@HouseDoctorRay it was the overseas one. I returned it.

[@ANDY-we7mr]

GOOD VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARING THAT INFORMATION VERY USEFUL BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE TOPOLOGY MAPPING AND BIDIRECTIONAL CONTROL 😊

[@TheRevolutionx111]

It does not have Topology but it does have bi-directional. I believe the whole line of X431 have bi-directional functionality.

[@888mladen]

Really? I hope you do know what bidirectional means.

[@888mladen]

Anything is better than SnapOn because it is ripoff.

[@LifesAbe-ach]

Launch wasted there time ... Poor product review . Biggest selling point of these are the special functions options .

[@HouseDoctorRay]

😢

[@harveyadams5453]

So what makes it better than the Snap-On scanner you did not list any specifics that proves it's better than a Snap-On scanner

[@rickylee2477]

The price point and comparable features

[@DownloaderVideo]

You have to get a second mortgage to buy a nice Snap-On.
