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

Having used many other brands of diagnostic tools, 'Launch' contacted me to review their latest Launch X431 Pro Elite diagnostic that can diagnose 100+car brands and 1000+ car types with 2 year updates and full bi-directional control.
I put it through its paces and test what it can do comparing it to my Autel Maxicom MK808! There are some amazing functions that are advertised with this Launch and for the money it seems a great choice !
I go deep into the tools, clear lots of codes and checking out the bi-directional capabilities, I then give my overall opinion.

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

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 !!

[@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!

[@ANDY-we7mr]

Yes both haven't got topology mapping has it got key coding bidirectional control 😊

[@ANDY-we7mr]

GOOD VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARING THAT INFORMATION VERY WELL EXPLAINED I HAD A BRAN NEW AUTELL DIAGNOSTIC MAXI SCAN OFF EBAY AND IT WOULD NOT CONNECT TO MY FORD FOCUS MK3 DOES THIS HAVE TOPOLOGY MAPPING 😊

[@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

[@njbiker2008]

Thanks!

[@GrooveOn]

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

[@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

[@TheoSmith249]

@@GrooveOn well, I completely understand that decision. 😉

[@GrooveOn]

@@TheoSmith249 plus I was commuting back and forth from Scotland to London so a few more mpg was 😊

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]

@@GrooveOn A Mercedes V Class, The parking brake pull switch is not working at all, I'm getting a orange brake light on in the dash constant, and then in the centre its say Brake test Rig to Brake !

[@GrooveOn]

@@superprinz1 try the steps I wrote

[@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

[@njbiker2008]

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

[@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]

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.
