2024 Launch X431 Elite Full Systems Bidirectional Tool Fit for Ford Lincoln Mercury, All Free Resets Diagnostic Scanner, AUTOVIN, Battery Registration, Key Programming, Lifetime Free Update

I think this device is a really great asset to have if you work on cars. It is very handy and is actually able to do A LOT. Like seriously the amount of features this thing has is pretty ridiculous. I really like the familiar candy bar look and feel so it makes using the device with one hand very easy. It's pretty tough as well (I have not dropped it) but with the thick orange bumper it has all the way around it I feel like you can use it to chock up the wheels HAHA (For legal reasons do not try that). But in all seriousness, I am definitely happy to have this and think it will help me fix my car a lot easier and faster in the future!

Got this to keep in my durango as the transmission is having hard shifts. This vehicle does not have the "gateway" (can security firewall) that was implemented later. I had been using a >1k scantool to do the birdirectional transmission quick learn every couple of months for about 5 years now. This is essentially a tenth the cost of that and works just as well. Cheapest standalone bidirectional tool to my knowledge.Plan to keep it in vehicle. This also provides other manufactures OBD and most CAN live data pids (graphs up to 4).X431 is a great platform, however the menus are not always intuitive and could be improved. Most of the big names are just rebranding this. No subscriptions is a huge savings. This is my second vehicle specific bidirectional x431 scantool, also have one for GM for over a year now that I keep in my truck.It would also be nice for this to have a battery built in, but for the price I can't complain at all.

There are no FREE LIFETIME software updates. Pages 26 thru 31 of the user manual state that after the first year, software updates are only available by subscription. Furthermore, all reset special functions software is only available by subscription and is disabled when the subscription expires. This tool will be of limited use without a subscription. The subscription cost is unknown.AMAZON - THIS LISTING NEEDS TO BE CHANGED.

* Its always good to have a vehicle diagnosis scanner at home.* It helps to keep a close eye on the vehicle issues and you will never get any surprise issues.* I use this every weekend to make sure everything on my Jeep is upto date.* Its very simple and easy to use.* Plug on to OBD port and it gives live stream data/status of the vehicle.* This scanner comes with all error codes for FCA vehicles.* No subscription fee.* it will get future updates over the wifi without any fee.* You can email your report from this to anyone or your email to keep a record of that.

Works perfectly with my 2011 Audi A5. Was able to code car, shut off seat belt stuff, and other settings, fast and easy to use once you figure it out, Don't use the online coding, that was very confusing and didn't tell u what u were coding the car to, easier to go through the coding helper under each module, works great for reading DTC's and clearing them out the system, very happy with purchase

This is an essential tool now days for a lot of car owners that cannot afford the prices of dealerships. However, you'd better have a good bit of automotive knowledge in systems and acronyms, as well as being a very patient person. You have to discover which system holds the task you need to perform unless you are doing the basic auto-diagnostics. I sent a question to Kingbolen about the key programming ability of this tool and have gotten no response. I also purchase this tool in the FORD version of which I submitted a question to Kingblolen of compatibility and did get an answer on that question, though that was a before the sale type question. I had already discovered the answer and ordered and received the tool by time I received the answer. I ordered an X431 Mini Pro3 2 years ago that my subscription ran out on, and I deemed it more economical to go with the Creaders and Lifetime update rather than pay out the ying yang on updates every year. Keep in mind though that all of these are from China when you expect US support, it will not be the greatest. I do plan to purchase the GM model and the Honda model of this tool, although I do hope I will find them at a reduced price being I do not use these things on a daily or even a monthly basis. Now days, I only use them on my own car repairs and close friends. I don't even own a GM product, nor do I care to, but I will get the tool to help my friends out. I rated the tool a 3 overall because it does deserve that, would be 4 if the price had been ($119) like my Ford version or a 5 if it were in the ($99 or below) range. This is my opinion, but I am only a 72-year-old retiree that has been an old school mechanic for about 50 years. I say that being I was 12 years old when I rebuilt my first tractor engine (Oliver Super 55) on the farm. Therefore, If I were a younger and more educated to the newer electronics of today's automobiles, I may have given a higher rating as well. Is the tool bad, NO!, Is the tool good, YES! Is the toll great, THAT WOULD DEPEND on your own use and evaluation. My question on the key programming may have gotten misplaced in the air of digital/electronic environment of today's world, so I'm not giving a bad name to Kingbolen. I have seen great reviews on Kingbolen support of these tools.

Excellent tool for the money! I was very impressed with the bi-directional control and live data. It has a lot of features that aren’t included with some of these other budget scan tools. If you have a Chrysler vehicle this would be a great tool to keep in the glovebox or under the seat. Very compact design. Or even a great addition to you toolbox if your a professional. The Chrysler specific capabilities would definitely come in handy if you work on a lot of these vehicles.

Excelente equipo de scanner.Funcional, completo p la marca chrysler

This product only has bi-directional capabilities with a subscription to bypass the vehical gateway

Works really well, though it is somewhat slow. Great for the purpose.

Producto de buena calidad lo recomiendo

Non ci sono molte recensioni in italiano di questo articolo, è un ottimo strumento di diagnostica per auto ( nel mio caso SEAT Tarraco ma analizza anche audi, volkswagen e skoda ).Necessita di una connessione wi-fi per scaricare gli ultimi aggiornamenti, a differenza di altri apparecchi simili che scaricano gli aggiornamenti dal pc o su una sd card.Supportato da diverse "lingue " si utilizza dal display touch ( molto preciso e sensibile ) , offre davvero moltissime funzioni di controllo errori , cancellazione o modifica,.Rappresento le mie primissime impressioni, avendo utilizzato l'apparecchio superficialmente per un test veloce, ma già dalle prime digitazioni si comprende che non è il solito strumentino economico, certo non è una disgnosi professionale ma ci va vicino.Il prezzo attualmente è molto vantaggioso in funzione di una riduzione del 20 %.Dispone dell' l'opzione di inviare una mail col rapporto diagnosi .L'unico spetto davvero negativo riguarda le dimensioni del display, davvero piccolo, di conseguenza anche i "caratteri " risultano piccoli.Questa è una prima analisi dello strumento di diagnosi, ritengo di consigliare l'acquisto, aggiornero la recensione in futuro.

Price great info for price point impressive
