Ohhh I just ordered one now but I just had the old style for 20 Year

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Hope that u enjoy it 😀

[@jonathanmonger111]

This tool is great. I bought one and I have been using it for almost 3 years now. The device is not allowing me to input my shop information.

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Did it let you register though?

[@Zaparoonie]

Well done, thank you.

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Thank you 😀

Hi Alex, I just bought this from Amazon unboxed set up Wi-Fi updated it all fine took it to my car plugged it in now it won't turn on sent it back.what is the next best machine to buy

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Really?! Did something went wrong with the update? I'm using Otofix d1 now and it's amazing to be honest. I've got a discount code for it on my Linktree

[@MarkVojvodich4PCT3]

I bought this same unit. After the initial charge of the unit, once the battery started to die I went to charge it again and it would not charge. I contacted the company and since it was China based, it was hard because it takes up to 24 hour response. However they did respond and told me I had to go through the vender I purchased it though, which was Amazon. After figuring who the amazon vendor was it was a ping pong game. Both the vendor and Lauch Tech kept pointing the fingers back and forth at each other, as to who needed to handle it. In the long run I am left with a worthless new paperweight. I do not recommend ANY Lauch Tech Products....

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Hello. At any issues like this through amazon you have got 2 years for them to replace or refund you usually. How long ago have you bought it?

[@MarkVojvodich4PCT3]

1 YR AND ALL i GET FROM BOTH IS THE RUN AROUND@@AlexTheGrumpyOne

[@romanjosan6858]

Hello . I have an audi a4b5 1999 year 1.8 APT and I would like to know which scanner would go well with it but not be very expensive? please very much thank you very much

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

The best for the audi is VCDS and I have got a discount code at the moment with Marshall Industrial to get some money off 😀 It's Alex1223

[@FoundernFintech]

Is there a way to see all the options in the "mall"? Such as via a website? Its not easy to see what is available and what they do before buying. It would seem more value for me to purchase the Mercedes Full Function (as i have 2x Mercedes C Class) rather than individual software modules. But there's little description via the tablet to tell. Hence looking for more information. Thanks

[@Howardtripper]

Rather buy the 129x it has more functions and is a better tool

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Yes, that is also a good choice and personally would recommend

[@FoundernFintech]

@@AlexTheGrumpyOne except if you’ve already bought the diagnostic tool that’s being reviewed 🥲 So no feedback on the mall ?

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Hello. Sorry I'm trying to get back to all the comments. As far as I'm aware I haven't found any yet. The best way Is to contact the technical team to be honest. I do apologise if its not a good enough answer

[@alexgardiner3977]

Wow that's what I want to know as well

[@russelblackwell6041]

can you do an auto brake bleed for a 2013 subaru forester xt turbo try to diagnose why my brake pedal is poor

[@FinallyOnRecords]

Does this read misfires ?

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

U talking about live data or fault codes on each cylinder?

[@LETS_OGG]

Hi mate can you tell me why I’m only getting 192 on live data and not 464

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Hi there. That would be different on every single car, model and year. Also diesel to petrol. Depends how many things the car got.

[@LETS_OGG]

@@AlexTheGrumpyOne oh ok mate thanks for that also not bringing up any codes or faults all normal on report but saying repair state 1 what’s that main when not showing a issue with car

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

@LETS_OGG as far as I'm aware that means you haven't got any codes on it bud. As long as you are connected to the correct model it should be fine 😀

[@LETS_OGG]

@@AlexTheGrumpyOne ok mate thanks for your help appreciate it

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

@LETS_OGG no worries at all 😀

[@gefreiterkurzmaul]

This device advertises misleading spec on 16gb ROM. Actual size is less than 12gb. Go to settings and select storage and it will show the real storage size.

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Thank you for sharing it. I'll check on my one

[@gefreiterkurzmaul]

@@AlexTheGrumpyOne check the setting on the screen, it will show as available space/full space. And the full space is already below 12gb.

[@kevincoulimbe3974]

Yes very good too I love it hey can you help me out I went to the mall and bought the crank sensor and cam sensor relearn software update for 38 dollars each where do you find that in scanner under what

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

For those sensors you should only need to clear the fault codes and then start it up and system will pick the signal up

[@marvintan411]

Alex! Greetings from Singapore! Do you recommend this tool for personal use or is this over spec? I'm not a mechanic nor a workshop owner, just want to know the fault code when something comes up.

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Hi there. It all depends on the type of cars you will use it on and also how far in to the systems you want it to go.

[@KarlKKC]

Can it do brake caliper windback for electric handbrake?

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Hello. Sorry this one can't do it. I have got videos on other units that can 😀

[@MrVek7]

Hi good video can this tool tell car is has a new battery fitted on car that need this doing when a new battery needs fitting

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Hi there. 123x model 2024 comes with BMS reset function, which is the battery reset 😀

[@Christopherh28861]

Hi Alex, just wondering if you could help me out I have this exact tester I’m not as clued up as you as I’m not a mechanic I just like to identify faults. I have a Vw transporter that is throwing up a p0299 underboost fault I’m just wondering if I could use this to identify the exact problem using live data. As it only throws this code up when I’m driving under load say getting enough speed up joining the motorway kicks in and goes into limp mode. Thanks

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

On something like that you can record the live data of the map sensor and also boost pressure and rpm. To see when it happens

[@Christopherh28861]

@@AlexTheGrumpyOne thanks for the advice 👍🏻 getting fed up with it spent thousands at garages and comes back the same. You aren’t in West Yorkshire are you?

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

@Christopherh28861 no unfortunately I'm all the way down in Kent. I hope that it does help. Have you looked up the code on youtube or forums to see possible solutions?

[@marklytle6376]

Can you program new key fobs with this unit. ? Thank you for video.

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Hello. No unfortunately you can't with this one

[@gavingoff4056]

Nice one.

[@MrBikedrummer]

Hello. Great video. I just received this unit yesterday. I don't see any brake or ABS functions. Please let me know if I have to do something special. I'm going to call the company now. I have a 2008 Chevy Impala LTZ. I wanted to check abs functions per wheel. Thanks 👍

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Hi there. Is yours the same.model? You checked live data?

[@MrBikedrummer]

@@AlexTheGrumpyOne I've been so busy I haven't played with it yet. Does it need WiFi to connect through Bluetooth to the little OBD2 plugin?

[@MrBikedrummer]

Forget my questions... 4 weeks ago I had this one. I returned it and bought an XTOOL D8 BT

[@MrBikedrummer]

Yes. I did run live data. Doesn't matter now. I have the D8BT THANKS for replying to me. Subbed 😊

[@robertcampbell292]

Do you have to buy or download anything to get the info shown in your video. I have a Pontiac g5.

[@alexgardiner3977]

Thank you Alex what about when you add a software I didn't hear you say anything about that but am happy with your explanation of the tool am still learning my own

[@arvindracing]

How to use the ABS BLEEDING function

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Will depend on each car. It will actuated the abs unit and open the valves when u bleeding brakes

[@mrb9502]

Hello Alex will the scanner also relearn a crankshaft position sensor. thanks

[@voltisagolli565]

Can it open break caliper for electric handbrake?

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Hello. Sorry not on this unit. Check my other videos on some other units that do it. Like topdon ones

[@thegad650]

Just purchased one but it does not read parking sensor fault, any advice please, transit custom

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Yes this model only reads 4 units as a basic model. I've mentioned it in the Video and description. You would need a slightly different model that does all the units in the vehicle

[@thegad650]

Thanks for getting back to me Alex, that was the only reason I bought it for, you live and learn

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

@thegad650 sorry if it's my fault. But I'm pretty sure I'm mentioned in my video and description that it only talks to 4 units. Did u buy it through amazon?

[@thegad650]

Yes I got it from Amazon

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

@thegad650 if it was recently u can send it back and say that u got wrong model and get voucher to buy a slightly different one

[@alfiecampbell5680]

You didn't show the steering angle reset

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

I can do a video in a future

[@danieleagles]

Can you set linear valve offset with it?

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

I am not 100% sure. I think u can only do throttle body
