I'm halfway through and wondering if it's worth it to watch the rest of this to see if you figured out how to use this. The two most important buttons, you ignored. Health report and system selection. That's where everything you are looking for is. Secondly, the mall is not based on what is installed in your device. Walmart doesn't just carry things you don't own. Same here. Those things are for other devices that don't come with them, not for yours which has the stuff you said it doesn't. Maybe if you update it first, you'd see it all. Now if I bail and you figure it out, just know that I don't have a lot of patience.

I have a launch X431 V Pro, it works fine on the Asian and Euro cars but can't say for the American cars. I was thinking of upgrading to the pro 5 but now am thinking twice. Thanks for the review

Was watching just to see if you would figure it out lol. I have x431v+ and expired subscription and it still will do most bi directional controls. Only issue I have had was stallantis sgw issues with new rams. Paid for autoauth to hook up and still need to renew dodge Chrysler for it to read dtc or gain access to bi directional. Also tried with 12+8 and still won’t allow me to had to renew service for those. With it expired it would still connect and read my 17 ram 3500. So for those of you looking yes it works and does a good job of it. Though I did have to use for scan to calibrate a valve body on a 6.7 ford

You need the Red Launch the Black one isn't for American cars but the red one is

Thanks, Find the same thing but not as bad with my X Tool.

I just noticed as well your check engine light isn't illuminated in the on key position meaning your vehicle is not communicating. It's not the scanner it's your car

Thanks for your advice I was thinking about buying one but I change my mind

you can program keys also

Oh wow. I was thinking about getting that. I have a XTool D8. I was going to get a bigger, more professional tester.

😂 Come on man. The VCM won’t power up off of the data link connector and no communication with the PCM should tell you that there is an issue on the vehicle side not the scan tool.

I myself have the launch x 431v+ pro elite and love it. I noticed while you're using the profile you're saying you can't perform any actuation tests or special functions and you didn't realize or see while you're making the video that your modules are saying not equipped you either have a bad wire on the car or you're not connected right with the scanner that's why you can't have access to anything check your car out and make sure all your connections are proper and you'll be able to utilize the scanner as intended

Thanks for the effort. When I read through their high dollar offerings they didn’t say much about American-made vehicles. They seem to be focused on the Asian market. The whole idea with scanners of not knowing what you’re gonna get until you buy it is a bunch of BS. Send that baby packing back to where it came from. When a potential customer asks ‘can you do such and such?’ Any the reply is ‘maybe’. Game over!

what scanner would you recommend for the price range of $800-1700 ? thanks bro for making the video

NOT LAUNCH FOR THE USA, ONLY FOR EU! The seller should’ve informed you about that

when you did your update did those features from the mall become available?

How to change the mileage with the tablet thank you

Can this be used to reprogram used toyota keys?

Will it do a running power balance

I just got one and it comes with 2 year free updates.

Is their anyway to verify mileage with this tool?

U should got the one with no ip restrictions

I'm a professional tech doing full time diagnostics and programming.. Don't let this video turn u off to this tool. While I appreciate the effort taken to provide content, this video is full of misinformation and user error. Fact is the launch/thinkcar etc x431 based scan tools are among the best/highest functioning scan tools avail for the money. I use this exact tool daily and can't recommend it enough. No tool is perfect but this one is a must have.

Awesome. This is the kind of information that people appreciate. Please keep us updated. Keep away from Crappy unboxing videos.

Does it do throttle relearn for Honda accord?

He needs the truck pack

I HAVE A LAUNCH X431 V PRO ,,, BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT LAUNCH WOULD MAKE ANYONE HAVE TO PAY FOR THOSE SPECIAL FUNCTIONS. BECAUSE WHEN THE TIME COMES FOR ME TO UPDATE MY SCAN TOOL IF THIS REMAINS THE CASE I WOULDN'T BE BUYING A LAUNCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does this do ECU tuning?

Wow! That is really sad 😔

ma poi hai risolto il problema ?

For a professional shop setting everybody that we deal with stays with autel, there must be a reason.

This launch x431 is amazing good but just for European cars not USA

do you want to sell it, if yes I want to buy it. do you agree

posso sapere dove sbaglia ? ho lo stesso problema sono un principiante . fatemi sapere

Snap on Scanner WORKS Every time.....just saying.

I just buy the x431 pro 3s + that very slow data respond compare with my old Gscan2

So I have the x431 diagun v. I was excited to upgrade to this one but I don't know now. What do you think?

Snappy on is to dam expensive and American scanner companies are restricted in giving all newer vehicle systems. It’s hit or mis because the dealers will not allow snapon to have everything to keep the new car dealer shops happy.

BUYER BEWARE LAUNCH DOES NOT HONOUR IT'S WARRANTY

Is this your first scan tool? Why didn't you do the updates before craping on the tool. My x431 pro v+ has all those options you said were missing. I didn't have to have a power cord to use. As mentioned by other posters you don't have the key interests on position. Snap on fan boi.

Is this worth buying???

It is indeed a shameful and surprising thing, and what is strange is that other companies provide most of these programs integrated and free of charge with updates, and there are also copied, cheap and even free programs that perform most of the tasks. It seems that this company and its counterparts are asleep in the honeymoon.

think tool Pros have 34 special functions you can do coding much better scan tool for half of that price

Hella gutmann users maybe here ?

My man doesn’t know how to use a diagnostic tool at all 😂

What is tyre called in English? Thank you for the vid. Also, tyre would be correct. "tyre" is (Commonwealth English= England) or "tire" (North American English)

good quality elm 327 and a good odb2 app is all you need really for most cars, newer stuff like 2015+ you might need the xtools dongle or launch dongle paired with a good tablet

🤷‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ LMAO 🤣🤣 THIS REVIEW IS JUST LIKE THE ONE I DID LOL I'M NOT TOO FOND OF LAUNCH ANY LONGER

How much is it??

Mate you have a brick that will try to lock you out when your free updates end. Ive have mine for 2 years, I was offered the world and like you got very little in return. Even with the most common vehicles, functions like writing new injector codes etc is not available ('not within range"). Am I going to pay for another 2 years of updates that still wont function? You gotta be joking!

Mate you haven’t got a scooby doo how to use it 😮 you need a Walmart 10 bucks reader

Damn that's enlightening and annoying at the same time.

I have launch diagun and upgraded to x431 v+ they said upgraded version. Their is no upgraded any launch scantool they are all they function and limited to access mostly american vehicles. Mostly modules are not supported and you cannot much program keys and keyfob in this scantool you have to buy another piece garbage xprog to do key programming if does do programming. This is too much price for this kind of scantool.

This is a piece of sheite for that amount of money.

I think this guy is more of a tool than the scanner is! 😂. Totally clueless.

Not every tool works on every car .... You mega tool may do a cheap car & your cheap reader may do a mega quality car 😂...... Play with it & learn.

A perfect tool to corrupt your car. Disconnect asap. Thanks for posting this.

I think you don't have a clue about this scanner.

Man u got tons of functions but u don't know how to use it 😂

Chinese junk for the money you should get all the subscription spend the money and get something that has all applications

Your lost..

Be real man! You dont even know how to use it. I own the same scanner and been using it for quite a time now.even bought the x-prog3 now and started programming with it. As for functions you need to enter each module separately to use the functions related to it.

X431 pro5👎

Jesus what a waste of time. Glad i forwarded through most of this. Let's find someone who doesnt know how to use the device at all and have them do a "review" ... great idea... NOT🤦‍♂️ Seriously, delete this video 😆

are you a comedian?. Watching this video gives me a headache and sympathy. you don't seem to know how to use the whole tester, but you still make a video about it? ashamed for you. you really don't have to pay separately for the functions, and all the necessary functions can be found if you use the tool correctly.
