LAUNCHX431 1MM0 Plus with PROG3 Tool, All-System Diagnostics, ECU Coding Scan Tool, 39+ Services, Bi-Directional Control, 2-Year Updating

I've been a mechanic for over 15 years, and I have to say that the Launch X431 Pros V is one of the best diagnostic tools I've ever used. The device is incredibly easy to use, and it's packed with features that make diagnosing and fixing problems a breeze.It worked well on a 2012 Honda Civic that came in with an engine misfire. After connecting the Launch X431 Pros V to the vehicle and running a diagnostic scan, the tool identified a faulty ignition coil in cylinder #3. I was able to quickly replace the coil and clear the code using the tool, and the car was running like new again in no time.Another great feature of this tool is the ability to access live data from the vehicle's sensors. This has helped me pinpoint issues with fuel injectors, air flow sensors, and other components. The tool is also incredibly fast, providing results in a matter of seconds.Overall, I would highly recommend the Launch X431 Pros V to anyone in the automotive industry. It's a powerful and reliable tool that has saved me a lot of time and money. The customer support from Launch has been great as well, providing quick and helpful responses to any questions I've had. This tool has quickly become an indispensable part of my shop, and I'm sure it will be for many years to come.

I have had this for over a week and I can say for the price it is the best bang for the buck. I was able to use this on a 2002 GMC Sonoma. It worked great! I was able to diagnose the issues and fix what was wrong with the truck in no time. The Bluetooth adapter was fast and had no issues reading the ECU. It does take a few minutes to set everything up but once your done it boots pretty fast. You will have updates to perform. The packaging is nice and comes in a hard case with foam inserts to keep your scanner secure as well as the Bluetooth module. Comes with plenty of cables to connect to just about any vehicle to diagnose and repair. There are only two issues I have with this product but it isn't a deal breaker. The first is I wash there was an easy way to add more memory. It can except a memory card bu there is no way to access it without taking it apart. The second is the instruction manual. It is very basic. You'll have to figure out what tabs to push to get to the information needed. Other than that I would recommend this to someone who needs a more advanced scanner for the hobbiest or the professional.

Very Disappointed. I've used a LAUNCH X431 V+ PRO 4.0 2022 Elite Scan Tool for the last 2 years. I capture my reports on the unit and then upload them to my Google Drive account thru the app. This unit will not let me install any apps on it. It appears to be locked. I reached out to the seller and they were very friendly but no help. I thought about returning it, but I used AMEX rewards points to purchase it. I decided to keep it, but I am very disappointed that an expensive scan tool and IMMO device will not let me install software on it from the Google Play Store.

Thank you for this excelent product easy to use

This bidirectional scanner is actually pretty good. lt not only pulled the original PIN code from the ECU but walked me through reprogramming both keys in under 15 minutes. The "Security Access" feature works like magic on GM vehicles-no more waiting days for dealer codes.I also reached out to tech support via the email they provided in the description, and they got back to me that same night. lt's amazing!The extra coding functions surprised me-we've used it to reset airbag lights and even reprogram a Tesla Model 3's door module (yes, it works on EVs!). The 8-inch screen stays crisp in direct sunlight.At $1,399, it's pricier than basic code readers, but the time saved on jobs that used to require dealer visits has already covered the cost. lf you're serious about modern vehicle security systems, this is the real deal.

I have a 2004 F150 pickup and have had the service engine light come on several times over the years. I got a code reader in about 2005 that ran on a laptop since at the time almost any handheld scan tool was a couple of hundred dollars. As with much computer software, it is poorly supported and while it seemed to still run on my current laptop, I could not get it to read anything. So much for that. I thought I would check out some of the lower cost scanners since I was not looking for an ASE grade system for complete engine diagnostics, just to tell me why the service engine light came on, and to be able to turn it off. The Geartronic looked interesting, came with free online software updates (well, we will see how long that lasts) and was only about $23 on Amazon. After using it, here is what I found out. First, the manual that comes with it says it includes a CD that contains the User's Manual, DTC lookup codes, and etc. There is no CD that came with it. The paper Owner's Manual is a little booklet that is 3-1/2 by 5 inches in size with about 6 point font size, so better get out your magnifying glass to read it. The Owner's Manual actually refers to a KONNWEI KW 590 scanner unit, not the Geartronic scanner. While the manual was obviously written in China, it is actually pretty well written compared to many I have seen. If you want to scan codes to see the source of a problem, it will probably do OK. It revealed my proprietary Ford service code so I could figure out what was the problem. It also reset the MIL light to turn it off. The real time diagnostics were only marginally useful. The tiny screen makes any graphical display almost useless and the values bounce around anyway. If you really want real time diagnostics, plunk down some real cash and get a big screen. I will note that my 2004 model surely does not have a very potent computer compared to current models, so the input to my Geartronics scanner likely does not compare to what you would get from a new car or truck. The online support web site is REALLY basic. One page with no instructions, just a couple of tabs. You can update the software in the scanner or you can download software to your computer that allows you to print out your scanner readings by connecting the scanner via the USB connector and uploading the saved data to your computer. I found this feature pretty useless since I had no proper operating ranges to go by, so a reading of 0.63 volts, for example, means nothing to me. Most of the data was like that, so unless you have a service manual for your model, don't expect all these data to help you a lot. I tried the live data and it measured and saved 25 different readings over and over until it filled up the memory buffer. Again, these don't really give you a meaningful trend since they are taken over some unknown time (no time stamp associated with each set of 25 readings) and it is impossible to tell if a reading is within its random variation range versus producing some actual trend direction. So in my opinion, that feature is pretty much worthless. Having access to a lot of numbers does you no good if you don't know what they mean. One last item to note. I am not sure how fast the Geartronic can read data (or how fast my 2004 model transmits it). However, if you select one function, then select another function before it has completed the first action, it will tell you that it has lost its signal and you will need to turn it off and back on to re-establish the connection with the engine's computer. I was somewhat surprised by how slow it took to read the data (several seconds) but that would normally not be a major issue if you are wanting to perform a scan (which is pretty much a stagnant situation). So my bottom line is this: For $23, the Geartronic unit will successfully scan and identify trouble codes and it allows you to turn off MIL lights. The ability to see realtime graphical output seems to be of limited value on the tiny screen, and the ability to print out data readings may also have limited worth if the values of concern bounce around a bit. Given the crude online support website, I will not expect it to be available in 5 years when I might next need to use the scanner (so if you do get one, download the printer support software right away). For me, it is probably worth $23 to have a scanner that can identify trouble codes and turn off the MIL light.
