Launch X431 Elite 2.0 Pro - Bi-Directional Scanner for GM vehicles reviewed

I review the Launch X431 Elite 2.0 Pro, a Bi-Directional Scanner for GM vehicles and it performs very well. It have a number of reset features, actuation tests, live data, graphing, bi-direction, and best of all free updates !!

Great video. I'm getting one for Mercedes SUV. I'm a DIY guy. I have never used scanner before, but I'm a tech kind of guy. This thing is right up my alley 😊subbed

[@GarageKing]

Thank you for the comment, but when you order make sure you get one for Mercedes. This one is for GM only. Its what keeps the price down, you can get one specific to one manufacturer.

[@CarlWilliams-u3y]

On mall, you can add cars.

[@GarageKing]

@@CarlWilliams-u3y Yes you can, thank you for that

[@nicholascaruana8544]

Hi can you reset short circuit counter for bulbs with it or code in drl ..thanks

[@GarageKing]

Hello, that I'm not sure.

[@JasenFromBoston]

i am confused with the free lifetime updates we have. our subscription is for 1 year then we must upgrade or renew. how does this tie into free lifetime updates? updates are free but we can not access it without renewing our 1 year subscription ? idk

[@GarageKing]

How do you know if you haven't had it a year yet? Maybe after a year it just renews? I know on mine there was BMW and other software, that I could download, but it did not work because mine is GM only. So maybe the subscription auto-renews, maybe they can't put indefinite? I guess we will know in a year.

[@jamesmichael8549]

Is this the same as Launch Creader Elite 2.0 ? Is it free life time updates ? Does this do Compression test for the Spark plugs ? Does this do Fuel Pressure Test for Fuel Pump ?

[@GarageKing]

It may be in the same housing as the Creader 2.0, but I don't think its the same as the Elite 2.0's ( and there are different models of them) are manufacturer specific. So you get more, but only with one manufacturer. To answer your questions about the tests, I'm not sure.

[@harnas3848]

Are all these features available for a Mercedes dedicated scanner ?

[@GarageKing]

Yep, and its on sale: bit.ly/3zMcEh4 and if you use gk15 you will get an additional 15% off.

[@rafaelsouzapedrosa]

hey man i jus got mine today ..how to relearn the throttle body ?

[@GarageKing]

If you go into reset functions there is an "electronic throttle sensor reset" you could try that. For the actual throttle body relearn I'm not sure if this scanner will do it. This is a budget scanner, does most things, but not all. Also it is only for GM vehicles.

[@coreyslusars3341]

How do you like it

[@AbDp6718]

will it put gm truck into brake service mode

[@GarageKing]

As long as it’s not a commercial truck it should work

[@BR549_o7]

does this read O2 sensors?

[@GarageKing]

Yes

[@RuudyL]

The scanners that are sold on Amazon are clones, DONT BUY Launch does not support them, and the upgrading of these units are fake. I have found this out because I bought one and had a problem and called Launch Support, they said Launch does not sell scanners on Amazon, they are clones, soory we cannot help you, Lucky I still could return it

[@GarageKing]

Not sure about that, but there is the official launch store on Amazon? Maybe there are some clones, just like anything else.

[@JasenFromBoston]

thank you for that. i did notice my amazon one has a small stamp on the back barely visible. im going to try and register mine now see if it is fake.

[@BR549_o7]

@@JasenFromBoston was it fake?

[@coreyslusars3341]

Thx man!! Launch has a fake site on Amazon then called launch n everything

[@CarlWilliams-u3y]

You can add cars on mall.

[@GarageKing]

Good call and you are right, it is expandable.
