Launch X-431 Pro 3S+ Scan Tool Review

[@bobbyr8071]

50s kid has lost so much weight he should be called 25s kid now. Looking good man! 👍👍

[@mainacio895]

Thank you for your time, I found the review very informative. As I'm a beginner in the field of system diagnosis, I have a specific purpose in mind for this device - to assess cars before making a purchase. I would greatly value hearing about your experiences in using it for this particular need.

[@ShaheehAlJazeerra]

REALLY IT VERY HELPFUL AND WE HOPE LEARN MORE SPECILLY ABOUT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SOLENIDE FAULTS AND HOW TO CHECK THEM WITH LAUNCH SCANNER OR WHICH FUNCTION TO BE USED TO TRACING THE FAULT CODES OF TCM THANKS .

[@MrClarck100]

That's a great video, finally a proper review of the Launch. Maybe it's a thought to get the key programmer and try it out. I have a Chinese scanner that does most things but it's not as advanced as the Launch. I really need to get my hands on one of these.

[@jhncvngh]

Thank you Mr Jason we are love you so much

[@djautomotive8738]

I upgraded my launch diagun to this x431 because lot's are not supported from diagun and i'm dispointed because diagun and x431 are same function and they telling x431 is upgraded software but it's not. Mostly lot's of my diagnostic experience are disapointing from this scantool. Powerfull when supported.

[@williamh.hutchinson2858]

Can someone tell me if it's possible to reset the codes in the Mini Cooper footwell module with this scanner?

[@faustogonzalez8397]

Thanks for your video !!

[@WV591]

good review TU. they can skip all other plugs and lower the price few hundread. I doubt if anybody has ever used any of them.

[@DzevatS]

How is the customer support since it's an international model that's not supported by Launch USA?

[@Gary_in_NoVA]

Exactly. This is the only reason I haven’t bought it yet.

[@MrYourfavoritesub]

You are a national treasure.

[@brucebratschi4300]

I purchased one but before actually using it attempted to talk to someone in tech support. I could not find anyone to talk to and for warranty you have to send it to China. I sent it back for those reasons.

[@supersabrosinho]

This comment is amazingly helpful. I'm not sending a 2k+ tool overseas in the middle of a job. Thank you!

[@noctambule9032]

How is this comment not highlighted for others to see? This is very useful information that could easily make or break getting this scanner. Halfway into this video I was sold on this scanner, but after reading this comment I’m moving on to something else. I’m not okay with having to ship my scanner overseas if it ever decided to act up. A product is only as good as it’s warranty and customer support.

[@wesleyashton9813]

Could use one of these at home but may be too expensive just for occasional self repair use

[@gutrali]

I just checked pricing ... $2500 including all the universal cables. Why would we ever care about this device

[@edflores1015]

Could you program with this like abs modules programming to the vehicles vin and other programming?

[@cainarnold1]

I know this comes with no tech support but when it comes time to having to redo the update where do you get the updates from? I know it's not from launch Tech USA

[@josemarialopez8538]

Great vids, keep em coming. Q? Can i code an e53 abs module just w the launch scanner?

[@psychocrys]

Great video ❤

[@utahyork3338]

I'm not great at diagnosing problems, but if you tell me the problem I can usually fix it. These scan tools are very handy in finding out the problem, but pricing is a little too steep for me. It would be nice to see something as functional in the $200-$400 range. Maybe future technology will bring pricing down a little more for us home DIY'ers.

[@gutrali]

Yeah, the pricing usually forces home DIY'ers to google the "other" software options usually available for older makes/models. For example the e46 BMW has several software packages and cables available. Not one of them is over like 60$. There is nothing you can't program yourself... from a new key to removing the dead area in the center of the temp gauge. This is one major reason I dont want to buy a new car. Who wants to be locked out of all the internals of their new investment? Yuck

[@92BGLancer]

Get an autel mx808. They're good and will read all modules. They're around 400 dollars not too expensive.

[@jeffcurrie123]

There is a launch device I think it's the c919 for like 400 has great reviews. I'm not sure about he features

[@adriannyasia]

Nice! I just picked this tool up and had an issue with a vehicle I was diagnosing a few days ago. I called Launch, gave them my S\N and found out that this particular Launch is not recognized by Launch tech USA. I mean, it's an authentic Launch tool, but it's a "global Launch" according to the operator. I was wondering why some American cars keep coming up as import. Is your unit a global spec as well..? I'm curious. Hope I didn't get duped! Smh

[@philipshaw9485]

Yes you got duped , you have pobably got it from ebay, the add may have even had your nations flag placed in it. Bad news! the warranty isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Try to email these bandits after youve made the mistake of downloading there counterfeit updates and it loads a multitude of permenant ghost faults into the vehicles ecu

[@CJ.A-C]

just stop buying launch easy

[@PCMB4LyFE]

Looking good 5K

[@torqenv812]

The subscription fees every 2 year are insane

[@abduhlrivers45]

The first time I put it to my f10 intelligent diagnosis worked great. But now after updates it does not find the vin automatically anymore

[@jamesmetz5147]

The cost on the things that need to be added and the yearly cost could get too be a problem. Do you have any incites along those lines. That may make another video.

[@dieseldawg7132]

I made a video the amount you have to pay to get special functions is ridiculous

[@rydevip3678]

I just bought 1

[@OldboyWOW]

CAn you see the injectors mgr and etc? Cuz i didnt saw that option in your video. And i have thinkdiag which doesnt show injectors live data to all actors, only to certain

[@moseskinoti-d6k]

Hey Bro need help, looking for a tool that's able to change the language on navigation system for multiple cars

[@G20-i2m]

Can you check the coils individually when the engine is running ?

[@eap.productions]

Turn each one off to see if engine runs any different.

[@judeoliveresteron415]

Hi everyone. I need help on my Launch X-431 Pro 3S+ I bought this march 2022 and i just use it twise. i dnt see anymore the pictures the we use to diagnose the car you know the “ intelligent Diagnose”, Local Diag, Service Function etc. i dnt see it no more in my tablet screen. Hopefully you can help me with this. Thanks

[@antonispk6760]

Can you restore a corrupted frm with launch xprog3?

[@nattan3226]

will this work on heavy equipment construction machineries?

[@sebczajna700]

Which difference its vs. Topdon or Thinktool? Thats the same tool?

[@lloyddecker2965]

love your video very Indepth like to ask u if this scanner can do a vin rewrite have older charger the ecu go's bad and have to have a locksmith rewrite my vin in the new used pcm like to just do it my self if this x431 does a vin rewrite

[@burntnougat5341]

After bad experience with a Foxwell scanner, I'm kinda suspect about adequate software support for these Chinese all in one scanners. Pasoft suffices for E46 for me

[@jankof76]

Yeah, foxwell really didn't do it for me either

[@SMOKEY-JAYS-DIESEL]

Xtool D9 pro is better than this one for sure!! I know this because I had the same launch that you are using I also did a review not very good and send it back and got the Xtool D9 pro which is way better

[@dewaynepotts7081]

Will this tool disable the auto shutdown that new cars does after 30 minor running

[@joseleite7729]

can you reprogram clusters? for example chevy traverse Clusters fail

[@psychocrys]

I have this x431 pro3 elite and the xprog programming tools I like the easy navigation use and range of vehicles.. my Intelligent Diagnostics vin link works with all the bmws so far new updates fixed it for most autos euro and American all but Saturn's lol the malfunction king of cars😂

[@cesarjorgemurillobarientos1813]

Nice

[@MrClarck100]

Do you know if this scanner can do online programming, say if you change a DME or a CAS module to program it back into the car?

[@mariaevepate2460]

Good day everyone I tried diagnosing Benz c250 2003 with my Launch X-431 Pro 3S+ but I couldn’t find the (benz38) connector location Can someone please help me ??

Would this be exactly like the x431 diagun?

[@bryangeronimo5524]

So about the tpms does it come with that extra tool??? Thanks and great video

[@Carlitosway211]

No

[@izack367]

does this supports coding such as injector coding abs and all the easy stuff?

[@psychocrys]

Yes

Hey, im wondering if this scanner works for 2012 ram 5500? Specifically chaning the PTO settings from stationary to mobile

[@Владимир-р4з]

[@dayntubee]

How does this scanner compare to think tool pro3? Better or same?

[@kingbolen_official]

Both work similar but Launch x431 has the open system that you can stall app or access google on the device.

[@martinidoyle]

This scanner is better then ista

[@CHIBA280CRV]

Dude change the settings on the top right from Metric to English..it will change the values. 😂it’s better to know what you are trying to show and tell before doing so.😊

[@rohitchaudhary73]

Hello sir very good information scanner price

[@VaporGearhead]

No support for the tool in the USA.

[@josewhodat4488]

Can anyone confirm if this is the same V7.0?

[@joshgreenwood13]

Can this code air suspension on f01/f02?

[@garyjay1774]

With Respect you are wrong.. You illustrate the dangers of reviewing a device that you have just acquired and you have little or no hands on knowledge about its operation. This becomes the blind leading the blind. For instance you say: “for some reason ‘intelligent diagnosis’ does not work on BMWs, so I’ll skip that”. Why? This is important. As someone who accepted these early reviews and bought a Launch scanner over two years ago, I can assure you that it was my major mistake. Launch works ok on some vehicles, but often cannot complete functions on the most common models. Requested updates take weeks or months to arrive, or are completely ignored. Currently, my two year subscription has expired, so I have to use ‘Local Diagnosis’ to address the installed files and updates that I HAVE PAID FOR. Now Launch org. inform me that Local Diagnosis will cease to function if I do not log-in within 30 days, or pay $800 for another two years of substandard files and updates. I OWN A BRICK!

[@psychocrys]

Never had any problems and support has been interactive and feedback has been timely when requested... they even provided full training courses for xprog too. Sorry your experience hasn't been as good perhaps your critique helped launch fix errors with the scan tools operation in the last 2 yrs...

[@psychocrys]

Intelligent Diagnosis vin#decoder has worked well with most auto but not so good with Saturn's 2000-2010???

[@irneskajtezovic2357]

Hy im intersted how to know if code is new or old ...let say fixed but not deleted?and how you can look for codes and pending codes?and does these scaner have lm test?thank you

Launch sell chinese units whhich are not covered by any warranty allthough they claim to. When you download there Counterfeit upgrades and your vehicle then stores permanent faults in it's ECM's and launch tell you that your unit is not covered under warranty because it's a chinese unit, even though there all chinese units you will then realise that youve been robbed. BUY ANY PRODUCT FROM LAUNCH AT YOUR PERIL!!!!
