Launch X431 Pro Elite VS Autel Maxicom MK808 - Full In-depth Live Testing Review.

[@rosshannemann7772]

Got a baby launch for my boys Yamaha motorbike, bike shop told me wouldn't work on his bike ,well it does , light of ,fault clear no return. Thanks for showing

[@GrooveOn]

lovely !!

[@TulzIndomic]

Sell me plz

[@peterwill3699]

HI ,Ydidnt show us how you got to the data stream ? I am haveing trouble finding the function.

[@mule666]

I go for autel because they said it is most compatible for my bmw e39

[@ettorefrisenda5158]

It is quite simple. The reason you have the choice of scanning individual ECAs is, because if you know that you have a fault with the IBS, you just scan the ABS system or a fault with the gearbox you just scan the fault with the gearbox if you put in the health report, then it will take longer for it to scan the whole system just to save time really, and the Autel should have health report feature on it as well to scan the whole system

[@juanherrera2672]

How to check chain stretch on the launch ? thank you Good scanner for porsche as well fuel priming brakes adjust etc etc but has taken me a while to navigate. Some more intruction videos are needed IMO. Had to buy the I-tpms tool to do sensors another $140. took me a while to figure out. my first scanner. so far its been worth it. buy direct from launch its cheaper an they ship fast.

[@rushymoto]

Can it set injector trim codes and also set cruise control activation etc on Citroens?

[@thecolliman7674]

It would be interesting to see what the launch can do with the BCM electrical as I have BCM problem with my Range Rover.

[@GrooveOn]

Good point

[@mikedelroy1207]

Great video. Can you calibrate / carry out adaptations to replacement sensors. For example, if a DPF pressure sensor is replaced can the new sensor be calibrated. Thanks

[@prideandpinion]

Hi there, I'm looking to fix throttle delay for my mercedes w204. Read in forums all I have to do is to Increase the Pedal Curve from KLD1 to KLD 4. Do you think the x431 can do it? Or will I have to take the xentry route?

[@GrooveOn]

@@prideandpinion I improved my throttle response by using a module called sprint booster

[@stevenbarber2703]

i just got a autel i had one before a older one i find that autel you can do more programming wise never really got into the others :)

[@FreddyG687]

Which one of these two can do injector programming and an ECM reset on a Mercedes W205?

[@dannyreyna2753]

X431 pro3s + v5.0

[@Damiannott]

Keys programming ? any of then can do ???

[@GrooveOn]

@@Damiannott it will program car keys, however some makes like Mercedes it may not

[@AigarsDidzus]

As much I know it should do mercedes bmw vw keys and ecu but will need to buy launch xprog3 programmer separately

[@GrooveOn]

@@AigarsDidzus thanks

[@clevc112]

I just ordered the X431 PROS Elite, and mine is wired and only an 8 in. Screen?

[@GrooveOn]

hi there, yes the screen is an 8" I had also thought is was bigger from the description, but the bezzel makes it appear bigger.

[@SmartyMister]

Did you identify what the difference is between the X431 PROS and X431 PRO versions? As far as I can see the PROS doesn't have the Grey and Red plastic bezel , just Red, but are there any functional differences?

[@SmartyMister]

Thank you for this video. It has helped narrow down my search for an upgrade to my VGate OBDII code reader. Could you confirm that the X431 Pro Elite covers the Range Rover Evoque 2012 model please and what bidirectional facilities are there for the Evoque? Does it cover the SRS module. How comprehensive is the SRS module, as there are a number of airbags. Do you have to rely on an internet connection for DTC code descriptions, or is it built in, as in my existing code reader?

[@GrooveOn]

hi there, I can check for you and find out, I am 99% certain it will cover the SRS module and units.

[@njbiker2008]

Thanks!

[@GrooveOn]

Just to say am amazing thank you for your support, I hope my video helped you out and saved you money!

[@gaewing]

What will be the cost in three years to stay current?

[@Laralyon]

Does key/immobiliser programming actually work? Can I program a second key with it?

[@Archangel_012]

Just came here from some other video, showing key programming for a Toyota with this exact X431. So it looks like it works. It looked pretty easy too. I’m sure you can search for it easily here on KZbin, you can see for yourself.

[@GrooveOn]

Yes, it depends on the car make, for example Mercedes you wont be able to, but other cars you can programme keys. Some cars use a code that came with car such as Fiat .

[@milanbelic2513]

Good day mate. I'm looking to buy a used car in Europe. The problem is that most cars there have fake mileage. I don't know which car yet. If you can tell me which scanner ( which can I buy In Australia ) , can read the right mileage from the largest number of the cars. Thanks.

[@GrooveOn]

the Maxicom is a little cheaper and importantly allows you to connect to multiple cars.

[@AigarsDidzus]

The 3 different scan types are not the same...for example system scan will scan and tell you what modules are ur car equipped...scan health report diagnostic

[@paulosantana1200]

I have a launch now ...used to have a autel. Nigth and day diference for the best. Easy and very intuitive

[@nico-toscani]

launch is better for you?

[@Dolmat96]

Hi, i bought this thing last year the free update is for two year. After that can I still use the special function?

[@Dolmat96]

I mean launch pro elite

[@gilbertnatividad9777]

Very good video information. I wish to get the Launch X431 Pro Elite

[@trstreemanagement7545]

Do you do diagnostic tests as a paid service? I have a sl350 I’d like you to try find a fault.

[@GrooveOn]

@@trstreemanagement7545 I used to yes, where abouts are you

[@trstreemanagement7545]

Houston, Renfrewshire

[@GrooveOn]

@@trstreemanagement7545 nice, near the pub?

[@trstreemanagement7545]

Not far from the pub yes. Is there some way of connecting you directly?

[@trstreemanagement7545]

Would you be interested in coming over to run a test on my sl350? More than happy to pay for the service.

[@oscartheslayer9264]

I've got one, finding it's not great. Have of the features are not compatible when you come to use them. I've had basic obd2 scanners with more functionality

[@GrooveOn]

@@oscartheslayer9264 depends on your car

[@Il0vebagels69]

The thing I hate about all the types of scanners, is all the different years and models. The only reason I haven’t bought one is because I don’t want to buy last years version

[@GrooveOn]

@@Il0vebagels69 the scanners will come with all the different car models, some scanners will update, some require a subscription

[@thesheriff99]

Whilst functional comparison is great, the comparison nevertheless should be all encompassing and include the initial capital cost as well as recurring licence renewal costs. Surely, only then can you judge what you should buy and can afford long term!

[@GrooveOn]

thats a fair point , the unit will still work without the subscription, but it will not be up to date.

[@thesheriff99]

@@GrooveOn Thanks for the reply. I'll re-subscribe!

[@superprinz1]

Im not big into Lauch, but I did what I though was a brake reset, now have no hand brake and dash says in Brake test rig mode, can't seem to find away out of it, can you help please?

[@GrooveOn]

hi there, what car do you have? on Mercedes you can try this: 1. Vehicle stationary, steering centered, foot off brake, engine running, flat ground, open area about 100' or more across. 2. Press ESP Off; ESP warning light will begin flashing. When it goes solid, proceed. 3. Press brake pedal 4. Shift into D 5. Release brake 6. Begin driving 10-15 mph, steering > 90 deg, < 180 deg. You have to execute about a half turn. 7. When ESP light begins flashing, brake to a stop. 8. Shift to N 9. Release brake

[@superprinz1]

I was watching your video and saw you have a Dach cam can you tell me what it is if you have it I know it is good. t/k you

[@GrooveOn]

hi there, I use Garmin Dash cams, they are excellent, very reliable and small. It has speed camera alert, wi-fi to send video to your phone etc., voice control too. The model is Garmin 65W

[@njbiker2008]

Like i said you are why my car is looking like new i do not mind fixing the car just need to know how T/K you

[@TheoSmith249]

Does your SL350 have Active Body Control? not sure. My Sl500 does, and I'm looking to see if the wheel lift cylinders(Ride height) can be manually set. Also if the 'Rodeo' function can be engaged. Many thanks . great vid

[@GrooveOn]

@@TheoSmith249 I had a choice when I bought the car to get the ABC but decided it may give issues so went with the SL 350

That lil launch x431 is a beast for the money I haven't seen anything better than that I actually own one....trust me when I say autel is very good tool but you will have to pay around 900 to 1200 £££ to be able to do the same what launch x431 pro elite....the only thing I haven't tried out on it is xprog3 programmer....would like to see how it's works with it....if you have a chance definitely put it out

[@alexorehowski3387]

To be honest X431 is almost double of MK808 with hardly any better features.

[@SimonAlgra]

great video thanks well done

They should have update it to android 10 like the other instead of 7.
