- I figured it was time for an update on the main scan tool I use here at the shop. The subscription is up for renewal, and YES, I'll be getting it renewed. It's a great tool that they are constantly updating.

I had already ordered one b4 watching ur vids and being a main dealer mechanic for 30 odd years in the UK using main dealer diagnostic equipment i wanted better for work i do at home than i already have, gotta say all the vids on CZcams do not go into as much depth as urself ur vids are fantastic and in depth, keep it up mate great job.
Thank you for the kind words, I try to make these videos so people will really know how to use one. Take care my friend
I have a LAUNCH X431 V+ PRO 4.0 HDIII Heavy Duty Truck Scanner.
Finest scanner I have ever owned. It's different from yours but I totally agree with everything you said.
The software has been upgraded so many times that it's like having a completely new scanner.
It's worth the money, hands down. 👌
The weirdest thing I have saw with it was, it told me a door speaker power wire had a open issue when I was replacing a abs sensor on uncles truck, i confirmed that the speaker didn't work. Just awesome,
For the price, this is the best scan tool on the market right now and has been for the past 2 years.
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs agreed
Thanks for sharing your informative information, UK Shout out
Thanks for watching!
Worth every penny
agreed- once you know how to really use one, it can save so much time and effort
All the different models will drive you nuts. Then add in topdon vs launch vs kingbolen vs autel.
True. I can say this is the top tier Launch product and is updated nearly every day. It also has a very modern tablet with Android 10 running behind it. Some of the Autels are still using Android 4 !!
Great detailed video. I just upgraded to this from my Launch X431 CRP 919E Elite. I don't have the Google Play Store icon/app. How do it get that? Thanks
Hmm. I'll have to look. I think it was under Android settings, or it may have popped up after updating Android.
How does the old one compared to the new
Hi there. How does this compare to the Autel MaxiSYS Ultra? Does the Launch do pretty much everything the Autel does? Fraction of the price. Thanks for your help and video.
I find it to be more comprehensive than my Autel, and faster as well.
I am a 45 year mechanic I have this and it’s good
Glad to hear that you like it- I was hesitant to get it, but have been very happy with it
Woow i am a 12 year mechanic i have that
Hi i have the same Tablet with the smartlink c for HD models ...do you maybe know how to do a programing on ECM, on DPF system?
Yes. You don't really say what kind of programming, but under there are ways to turn on and off options on your car with this tool. I activated Cruise and Fog lights with mine.
Have a question before I buy one of these. Question is once your 2 year free update is gone does the scan tool still work on older cars without having to buy updates ?
Yes, I can confirm that it will continue to work fine after the sub ends.
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs thank you very much sir.
Did you have any problems with it being a global not USA serviced . I just ordered it but many say they couldn’t get it to operate because it wouldn’t accept their code ect . Any help would be greatly appreciated
See my other comment, but no, don't worry.
Which one do you think is better, launch or xtool d9s, which one do you recommend? Enjoy looking for one.
I have found that Launch is a better tool than Autel or Xtool.
10/4 hire quickly for the launch
Is the Google Play store unlocked? The older X431 units didn’t allow access to the Play store.
Yes! I was able to add a bunch of automotive apps to this one from the playstore.
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs Thank you for your reply! My X431 ProS Mini is up for renewal ($399 for 1 year) so I might just upgrade to the latest (and larger) Pro3S+ Elite since it’s $1049 and has two years updates.
Were you able to find out if they a compatible lab scope for it?
I ended up with this one: www.amazon.com/LAUNCH-Oscilloscope-O2-2-Scopebox-Analizador/dp/B0C9D7J996 It works fine.
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs That's interfaces with the 431 VS3+ Pro ?
Does this work on light duty diesel pickups?
Yes, GM, Ford and Dodge all are covered for their Diesel applications.
400 is not bad cause my max flex from Matco he wants 1800.00 for full unlock I was like nope I’ll just buy a new one
Ouch $1800- that is crazy
I've had trouble with mine, when I go to update the software, it will not let me select new version without paying money. I've called them and no go.
Is the unit used? Mine expires next month. Once the original subscription runs out, yes you will have to pay to renew it. They run about $350 a year here.
@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs no I bought it new, I've reached out to Technical support multiple times and I've yet to be answered
Your software must have expired. They are free for 2 years then after that its cheaper to buy the tool again rather than update. Mine just expired on my X431 V, $520 to update for a year and 850 to update for 2 years
Did you get it worked out???
@sheerwillsurvival2064 nope, I was only able to update the software for a year. Not 2, I've called everyone I could and have hit a wall everywhere. I was told the description was wrong and only had a 1 year free update. I will never buy another launch product.
HOW MUCH ARE THE UPDATES???????????
If bought on the tool, they are around $600 a year. If you go to the Kingbolen website, it's about 1/2 that. You can also buy renewal cards for these other places for even less. I paid $315 for 1 year.
Also mine dosent have the turbo matching function
Can't say I've ever needed to use that function. Sorry!
