Great video Steve and I love how you explained all the different communication protocols and such. Very informative. Thanks for sharing
I’m pretty pumped about this scanner, really like using it. I appreciate ya Tony.
Like the topology map, That's cool, Thanks!
You made such an amazing video man. Keep up the great work! Thank you
Launch is my front runner for aftermarket. it's just quick. Low lag love the video!! The old saying is obsolete with new tools they absolutely can make you a better mechanic!!
Yup, I’m a convert! Really like using this tool.
I unboxed the same tool today and damn! i love it. makes me feel like a pro already.
Hey, awesome! Great tool to have.
First launch product i bought was in 2020 just bought the 2024 model can t wait to receive it and use the topology map ❤!! So much time gained!!
It’s a great little scanner. Always the first one I grab.
That looks like a really good scan tool, i have my autel 808 at home but its pretty limited, i can definitely use one like this, great video!
This is my first full-function scanner since the old Modis. I really dig it.
Very nice & informative...Thanks Steve..
Thanks, much appreciated!
Thank's
Have an issue with a 2002 Thunderbird dash lights. I'm figuring out I need to get into one of these scan tools with bidirectional, topology etc even for something this old. newest car we own is a 2021 Bronco which for now is under warranty. I'm not a pro, but do a lot of my own work. Is this the one to get? Or should I be looking at something different? There's so many of these on the market that its super confusing. I'm a Ford guy, but do some work on imports occasionally. Would like something that does all makes etc, but i'm seeing that there is no "perfect" scanner. Also I clicked your link to check out the product and it wasn't working.
In my opinion, Autel and Launch are the brands to look for. They are stable tools and get constant updates. The frustrating part is that there are so many models to choose from. This is mostly because different distributors all want a unique version of their own.
Great Video, Looks to be a great piece of kit. Can't seem to find anywhere if this will reset service functions on Porsche cars, my Topdon will not allow any service reset functions.
I decided to search a 992 911 (2020 MY) Here is a list of the special functions available for that car:
Reset adaptive cruise control personalization
In the airbag module, it can teach combination sensor, teach reversible, belt tensioners, teach seat occupancy detection
Surround view camera calibration
In the DME, it can set adaptations, adjust electronic adjuster for turbo charger (bypass flap), delete adaptations, injectors, ready status, short tests, tank, leakage test
On the front end electronics, it can teach flap servo motors
In the Instrument cluster, it can display warning event memory, and clear if necessary. It can reset maintenance interval, and set the total mileage.
It can calibrate the night vision system
In the PCM/CVR, it can deactivate production mode and it can reset to factory settings
In the Porsche vehicle tracking system, it can teach driver cards
In the rear spoiler, it can activate the service position and it can teach the rear spoiler
In the remote communications unit, it can deactivate flight mode and it can do a PVTS function test
Finally, in the tiptronic transmission control. It can do an oil filling service.
@@ToolDemos Thanks
Nice review. I just bought a similar scanner. A 2024 Launch X431 Pro3 V+ 5.0 Elite. I have not had a chance to use it yet but it looks like a nice tool.
I already had a few other scanners like a Thinktool Pros which is similar to this Launch, an Otofix D1, and an Innova 5610. I'm just a DIY'er but work on cars quite a bit and I like being able to access all of the information that I can. I've had the Thinktool for about 2 1/2 years and it has really helped me out.
I just found your channel but look forward to checking out your other videos.
Thanks and welcome to the channel. Like you, I’m a DIYer who does a lot of work.
Definitely increases collateral damage when reckless discharge of parts cannon occurs
Well said!
Sorry to be asking another question regarding this Launch product, here in the UK it is not listed as the ELITE model as you show as the model on screen, seems all other countries say it is the LAUNCH X-431 PRO 3 ACE ELITE but not here in the UK. Launch don't seem to answer any questions either regarding different models and what the different capabilities offered. Does you outer box/carton say that it is an ELITE model? Thanks
I wish I could remember, but it’s been too long since it went out to recycling.
Do you have a link to the lift

Great video! I have autel scan tool! Can you review those? Is there a yearly subscription for then item you have?
Thanks, I’m up for a review of an Autel. There are no subscriptions with this tool. They do updates though, first two years are free. You can still use it without updates, save some money.
Hi, is a PC running on Windows required for registation and updates?
No, the scanner itself has a wifi connection.
@@ToolDemos Thank you 🙏
How does this one compare to the x431 pro3s+ v5.0?
The biggest difference is that the pro3 Ace is newer and has the new DBSCar VII connector. That will allow you to communicate on CAN FD networks and (if you get the upgrade) do DoIP sessions online.
Can you program car keys with this specific tool!
On some models, yes. On other cars you'll need a key programming tool.
Will this work with the x431 oscilloscope?
Yes, just need to purchase separately.
I have VW, is there one you would recommend for a DIY user that is $150 or less?
If you haven’t heard of VCDS, it’s worth a look. Full version is out of your price range, but they have a 3 VIN limited version here: www.fcpeuro.com/products/audi-vw-vcds-diagnostic-interface-ross-tech-vchv23 That’s very close to your price and it is nearly the same as what the VW dealership uses
Any idea the difference between launch x431 pro3s+ and the x431 pro ace elite?
The hardware on the Ace is newer, and it can communicate on CAN-FD
@@ToolDemosthanks so much for the response!
how much will this diagnostic tool do for a 2012 Ford edge sport or a 2018 infiniti Q60? module programming? brake bleed? tire pressure sensors? I was leaning on the XTOOL D8W because it can pull the security pin # but now im not sure. jeez there's just so many Im not sure which to go with...
This will do all but programming. As far as pin numbers go, this Launch has access to AutoAuth. With your login, you can get past all SGMs.
Is it better than a Launch crp919x bt or crp919e bt or crp919max?
Yes, it has a bigger screen, bigger battery, more functions, topology map, etc…
I'm looking for a scan tool. Buy directional I have two older Ford vehicles both with EVAP system issues. I want to buy something that will work with early 2000s just for myself I don't do this kind of work for a living but it would be nice if it worked on other vehicles but we don't buy brand new vehicles. Would you have any recommendations for around $500 or less? thank you.
This little tool by Launch is very powerful, can do bi-directional control on Fords and is very inexpensive: amzn.to/49LdypX
For something that can do all vehicles I recommend the ThinkDiag 2, but it requires a subscription: shrsl.com/4dmxp
Also, a video that will help you to understand the pros and cons is here: ruclips.net/video/yNKTOdyetOc/видео.htmlsi=c5uxL9RsmG-hgcvI
@@ToolDemos Thank you very much for your information. The first one sounds ideal but I am inclined to buy something else in a couple years or so... I would like one that works with most vehicles. Is there any that are bluetooth that do not have yearly upgrade costs? If I don't get another vehicle, do I have to still upgrade? I can spend a little more money for a better one. Would like to stay under 500.00
Thanks again!!
@@KelleyLeach the Autel MK808 is a classic, well known and reliable. It’ll get you what you want under $500. Updates are mostly to add newer cars.
@@ToolDemosis there a great scan tool that offers topology mapping for under $500?
@@lydellleopold5884 no, none that I know of. That seems to be a feature of $1000ish tools.
Please upload more vedios!
how to oparate Launch 5 pro latest version step by step?
Request from Bangladesh (asia)
That’s a good idea, I’ll see what I can do.
Hello, thanks for the video. I have a doubt in which Launch model to buy... Do they all have same car compatibility?
Been checking on: Pro Ace, Pro Apex, PROS, Pro3s+, TT, DYNO, ... Too many models and I am confused.
Does this one you do the vid about include Tesla / EV? Thanks.
Too many versions for sure, every distributor has their own specs. This one does not include Tesla, but there are some that do.
@@ToolDemos Thank you very much for the answer. I ended up buying this same model but for Europe. The only thing I didn't like much was the internals, I checked them and hardware is kind of very old (2018) so it's confusing they call it: NEW 2024.
Anyway, awsome device!
does it have any apps??? web browser?? google?
Yes it does. Basically a ruggedized android tablet
Which model is this?
X431 Pro3 Ace
What OTHER vehicle can it do a Cylinder Balance Test on? 1989 Chevrolet Camaro 305 TPI V8 ? Others?
Ford is the only brand that has that particular test that I know of
@@ToolDemostoyotas have it too.
Can this tool read real milage?
Yes it can, but only on vehicles that allow it.
@@ToolDemos And if I am not wrong it can even manipulate mileage 😎
Hey, Steve. I just emailed to follow up on our last conversation.
Okay thanks.
the battery is 6000mah. The crp Models have 6300mah
Good to know, thanks
This is support online programming
No, you’d need a J2534 device to program.
