Launch X431 Pro Elite Review

[@nightstorm9128]

I have this tool,,You can buy extension for the cable on line,,You don’t have to buy the extension from launch,,A generic one works just fine,,Payed 15 euro for mine..

[@jessejameson154]

For anyone undecided about buying this tool.....I can't guarantee you will not be sorry. I purchased one last year and it's been bulletproof. To the point where I look forward to using it. It can be used as diy or professionally. The features are outstanding for the price. Next item on my buying agenda will be the tpms wand accessory.

[@dkastra26]

Why not a crp919x bt or Else? Cheaper is also with coding

[@william8108]

Did you mean “I can guarantee you will not be sorry”?

[@sliderdriver1]

Ive got a launch 129 evo pro from launch.does the basics and does dpf,tpms,battery relearn etc.just the job for a quick roadside plug in with a few extras .free lifetime updates too. Probably the best 260 quid ive spen.gets into models that my snapy wont even recognise!

[@marcmorris-kb9ry]

Got a launch mot and doing good for price.....communicated with a few things that our 4000 euro Texa doesnt want to funcion with..

[@SimonCoates]

It's getting more difficult to choose which diagnostic tool to get. I've thought I'd narrowed it down to the XTool D8W but this Launch X431 Pro Elite looks interesting for the price. It seems the competition between the Chinese brands is really ramping up.

[@shahislam9450]

Stay away from the xtool d8w. I've bought it and can do no reset functions at all. Doesn't support Scr reset Adblue level reset Service maintenance on Chevrolet Dpf regen on Skoda. Waste of money the xtool d8w trust me. I would stay away from the xtool line completely. Safes bet autel, lunch and topdon are up and coming

[@SimonCoates]

@@shahislam9450 - Thanks for the info. When you say it can't reset functions do you mean the 'special' functions? It surely can reset standard OBDII faults etc.

[@remotaurog]

Launch have good products ,I'm very happy with the Bluetooth 919 ,132 pids for Mazda 6 ,when I switch to obd 2 it has more .

[@jessejameson154]

This a lunch really is very good. I've had it nearly a year without a single glitch and I've never had an instance where it wouldn't have a feature I needed. It's not the fastest on the planet to recognise a VIN but you get used to that pretty quickly

[@robertmobileman8304]

Nice one Jimmy , was great to meet your at the NEC on Thursday, humble gezza

[@Tryingtimes007]

As an enthusiast the “bi-directional 919E “ has been invaluable not as posh as this model, I’ve replaced the NOX sensor 2 and looking at the mileage of this Vivaro now my NOX sensor 1 has now decided it needs attention, I’ve erased the fault code if it appears again in a week or so then it’s yet another £250. Happy motoring.

[@DiyMech]

Launch X431 CRP 919 BT E or X almost identical except has benefit latest BT dongle and is slightly cheaper than the pro elite 😮 👍 worth a punt for the advanced DIY'er or even pro ?

[@stevesaward3219]

Hello Jimmy Will this unit Code Skoda diesel injectors ? I bought a Xtool ip616 which says it codes Injectors but on the skoda it says function not supported had to borrow a tool to complete the job. Thanks for all your great videos keep the good work up

[@Christophergriffiths1972]

I’ve got exact same one Jimmy but Bluetooth and it doesn’t always display the scan modules like that, but just on certain vehicles. Mine scans just like yours and also does a high speed scan. Mine is 2 years old now so maybe they’ve changed the software but mine works a treat. Cost wise I paid £1050.

[@chucky2316]

I just bought a dedicated launch cready looks good for the money jimmy does everything

[@TheTwelly]

I would think that you could get an extension cable for it Jimmy.

[@shaunblakemore7150]

Nice tool, I do like the ones with the topology though 👍

[@pablo123b]

My trafic has an anti pollution error count down, can this unit reset it? I was thinking its possibly thr NOX sensor?

[@philmeechan2666]

I was looking at this model, but wondered if worked well with PSA models ?, specifically the Boxer

[@johncassels-y7f]

Jimmy I have that Launch diagnostic with same cable.....Can I buy the Bluetooth Dongle to suit this model? 3xcellent video again Jimmy 👍

[@chippiepaul232]

honest review as always

[@MichaelSmith-wr5pj]

Exact same as the TopDon ArtiDiag Pro, great tool for a back up

[@ChrisMclaughlin-f1x]

Can you prime a Audi/BMW FUEL pump with this ? Can you view the pre supply pump pressure in live data ?

[@MummaBear]

Vauxhall's are Renault Mercedes are Renault, what are Results? 😮

[@edwardf8109]

Unsure if you’ll see this as the video is a few weeks old. Do you know if this tool will show soot levels (grams) for a 06 BMW e9x diesel (335d) i tried a launch x431 Elite 2.0 and while it showed dpf data such as dpf pressure across the filter and allowed me to regen and reset the dpf, i couldn't find soot levels anywhere so sent it back.

[@RogerM88]

Hope you could do an Autel MaxiAP AP200 review. It's a Bluetooth OBD2 adapter by Autel, that you can download the Automaker data of choice. Seems a great tool for a DIYer, and even for yourself when traveling.

[@hadiamrane]

Isn't that the same system that launch also have? I know that with the launch software (I have one from Thinkcar, but it's the exact same and uses also launch software) you have to have a subscription (you get first 2 years for free) to use it and have to renew it after every year otherwise it won't be usable. Is the Autel the same?

[@RogerM88]

@@hadiamrane Not sure but I think for around 15€ you buy the Automaker software, without subscription.

[@hughmarcus1]

The biggest issue with Autel is that support is non existent. There’s lots of Land Rover owners who swear by the AP200. After I got locked out of my account & I got zero response when trying to reset the password I gave up on it.

[@timbo19751975]

This is a good ( for some functions on certain cars ) but no where near the level a professional needs. It's £60. It's not going to do anything serious.

[@samsonacc8081]

​@hadiamrane according to launch x431 you don't have to renew after 2 years, tool will still be usable with whatever is on it?

[@matthapaq9618]

Hi mate thanks for your all video and your time to help all of us with your knowledge,, Mate do you recommend this launch x431 pro or Autofix on your previous video ? Which one is better or both do same job, thanks Matt

[@ahmadlbl]

Hi friend i think 🤔 This launch had ecu coding, otofix d1 lite version not supported

[@matthapaq9618]

@@ahmadlbl Hi mate , thanks for I just bought it and it is a fantastic device it gives me 3 years free updates All I need is for the 2004-2017 cars model only and it’s really worth it . I do recommend for all guys, don’t forget to add a micro SD card it gives you free spaces and much better options to save pics data as I add 2T SD card ,, Cheers Matt

[@ahmadlbl]

@@matthapaq9618 Great bro, good luck

[@jb1555]

Jimmy I've been eyeing this up for a while. Can you see how it fairs on PSA stuff for the SCR, Eloys and DPF functionality? A lot of kit can't read it well. Cheers

[@sliderdriver1]

Im sure you can get cable extenders jimmy?

[@guywilloughby3383]

A lot of talk on the internet about this being a Chinese copy and when you look at this product on the launch UK site it's about double the price? Reasons for that anyone?

[@ORileysAutos]

I don't believe launch UK sell this model

[@guywilloughby3383]

@ORileysAutos OK I will have a punt.

[@DIZZYDAZZLER2011]

Will this be good for modern BMW's in terms of updating idrive maintenance etc

[@timbo19751975]

No. Youll need dealer level tool like icom or ista.

[@frankhoer6894]

Can anyone confirm if this works with a 2023 Iveco Daily 3L. Maybe with the bypass cable?

[@dgammell]

Does this model have topology

[@ionutgeambasu6491]

GOOD TOOL

[@wayneoriordan6749]

I'm being pushed into gateway does this have that I've got snap on d9

[@peterparsons3297]

have you had anything to do with XTool and any thoughts

[@timbo19751975]

Avoid.

[@paulstreet1117]

Hi how does this model compare to the CRP919? Can it do alot more? Cheers

[@kingbolen_official]

Launch X431 Pro Elite can do more ECU coding features compare to CRP919.

[@pdonneky]

Thanks Jimmy

[@Apex180]

Is this fully supported by Launch UK ? or are you on your own ?

[@ORileysAutos]

Like I say in the video... its not from launch UK its launch China

[@Apex180]

@@ORileysAutos missed the bit at the end. seems like a solid option, just missing the topo map like you said. Am also sure that you can get a longer cable for the odb port so you could extend that to outside the car. Be interesting to see if any of these can do key programing.

[@RideBikes_Walkplaces]

Hi bro. Do you have a link to this specific one? I can't see it on launch uk website.

[@ORileysAutos]

It's not a uk product... link in the description.. my affiliate link is kingbolentool.com/?ref=iq39r3l2

Great video. Cheers

[@stuartwestwood5347]

hi all . is there a launch tool OR any tool infact at diy enthusiast level £300 ish that does Ford regenS and adblue resets ,.. been looking and can`t see one that does both

Can they reset the NOX SENSOR?

Yes

Not bad for the price that.
