Already Paid For Itself
I finally updated to X431 Pros Elite from my old code reader, and its massive step up. If you actually work on car, this isnt just a toy~ The biggest win here is bidirectional control. Being able to command fuel trim, injectors, and speed sensor directly turns diagnosis into actual science. I had a rough idle issue and used the active tests to rule out bad injectors in minutes-saved me from throwing $300in parts at dealer. Full system access is another big plus. With the AutoScan - the intelligent scan of ABS, SRS, transmission, and body modules, not just the engine- you can immediately access all trouble code and their definition. the live data graphing is clear and fast, making it way easier to spot weird sensor behavior compared to staring at static numbers. I have tested it on my Audi, my wife's Toyota, and a few friends' trucks - coverage is rock solid. Overall, this diagnostic scanner pays for itself. Highly recommended! ... show more

A powerful diagnostic tool for the price!
This scanner is on the pro level. The first time I used the bi-directional controls to cycle the fuel pump on my Silverado to test pressure, I was really surprised. No more guessing if a relay was bad or running wires to test things manually. The relearn and reset functions actually work – I have successfully done an electronic parking brake service mode on a SUV and a throttle body adaptation on my neighbor's VW. The live data graphing is smooth and really helps spot intermittent issues. The build quality is solid. It feels professional, not like a toy. The 8-inch screen is bright and responsive, even with greasy fingers. The included case is actually useful. Now, the real talk: 1. It's a wired connection. I knew this when buying it, and it's stable, but it does mean you're anchored to the driver's seat. If you absolutely need to walk around the engine bay with the tablet, this isn't the model for you. 2. Manage your expectations on "programming." For basic adaptations and resets, it's fantastic. But for true ECU flashing or key programming, you're looking at expensive add-ons. The description is clear about this. So, all in all, it meets all my needs as a DIY home repair enthusiast and can even handle most of the tasks a professional repair shop would handle. 100% worth the money!! ... show more

Excellent scanner/programmer
I purchased the X431 Pros Elite for its bidirectional capabilities. This scanner / programmer is full of functionality. The X431 scans all of the vehicle modules quickly and even identifies problems I didn’t expect it to! It has a large screen and is user-friendly. It did take about an hour to install all of the updates after initial startup. Other than that its ready to use out of the box. There is a convenient folding bracket on the back to hang the X431 on the steering wheel. The X431 gives you the ability to configure or calibrate any device you have to replace, it is far more than just a scan tool. I really like the real-time data streaming. The X431 can be used to test actuators, making troubleshooting a breeze. Only limitations I’ve found are A/F mapping and changing transmission shifting characteristics. Other than that, 10/10 would recommend! ... show more

Great Tool to Have
Bought a 2015 Porsche Cayenne with a headlight out, I was able to code a new headlight module with ease and save a ton of money over taking it to the dealer. It will be a great tool for reading codes, coding, and also able to reset the service intervals. It appears to work on almost every manufacturers vehicles as I was also able to reset codes on my friends newer Ford. Would definitely recommend ... show more

Powerful diagnostic tool
A great scan tool for shop work. Setup was simple, updates are easy, and that touch screen is responsive. Auto VIN scan pulls all system codes so I can see the problem immediately. Clicking a code jumps straight to the module. With bi-directional control, it's able to kill injectors and reset adaptive memory on most modules makes diagnosis way faster. It reads live data flawlessly, catching misfires and O2 sensor issues instantly. ... show more

Fantastic Scanner for the Pro or advanced DIY user
The X431 PROS Elite is an excellent scanner. I've used it on my 911 to check and clear codes as well as reset maintenance indicators. The coding for Porsche is extensive. Tons of information on line on rennlist detailing how to code different options. Important to remember that the scanner is still functional after the two years of updates expires. If you choose not to update, everything continues to work, you just don't get updates fr newer vehicles. There is also an option to update only a single manufacturer to save money. For DIY users this make this an even better value. since you probably don't need access to every car make on the planet. When you are ready to move up from the basic scanners and do advanced features like coding, the X43 is the way to go. ... show more

Powerful and Solid Scan Tool for the Price
This is a review of the LAUNCH X431 PROS Elite bi-directional scan tool. Considering the price point, I believe this scan tool it targeting the advanced DIYer that wants to work on their own vehicles. However, do not let the low price fool you. This is a very capable scan tool, and would be a suitable tool for the professional mechanic. There are many expandable functions for the pro, like support for ADAS, oscilloscopes, a battery tester, IMMO programming, borescope and key programming. Reporting can also be customized for business use and shared with customers. Remote diagnostics is also possible, which connects you with other mechanics. Vehicle coverage includes most brands on the planet. It comes in a tough carrying case that protects it from hard knocks. The tablet itself is also tough feeling, and should not be easily damaged bouncing around a toolbox. It's 8 inch screen is bright and clear. Boot up is a bit slow, but once running, it is fast. Moving between functions and modules is quick and simple. WiFi connectivity is fast. Its battery holds up over several days, and would probably last a couple of days under constant use. There are nearly 40 service functions avail on the X431. It has very useful live data stream graphing capabilities, as well as pre and post repair reporting. In short, this is a great bi-directional scan tool for its price! ... show more
