    Gentlemen,

    For anyone that works on their car of wants to have some insights to general health I highly reccoment you get the ThinkDiag tool. It appears to be the same software as Launch x431 but for just $120 and work with your Andriod or IOS device effortlessly.

    Each year will cost you $39 to resubscribe to the Ferrari Manufacture Software.

    It will be the best money you ever spend for your car. You can do everything: F! self learn, Clutch Read, PIS setting, manufacture specific cel.

    I have a coupon code that knocks it down to $100 bucks for those interested shoot me a PM. Here is the device and so info. I reccoment ordering from Amazon.

    Thanks

    Yes it can work for other models but that is dependent on the software they stole. It's bidirectional meaning it can imput and turn on sensor and actuators. Clutch read and PIS are not an issue. The amount of data this thing extracts from your car will blow your mind. You can set up live logging too of a pump, or O2 etc. Just buiy it.

    Some possible uses:

    ABS pump cycling for full brake fluid bleeding.

    Live data monitoring on the engine.

    Actuator tests if it can do them.

    Will the software be compatible with McLaren? I don’t see it listed.

    I bought a Foxwell NT510 Elite, but found it problematic in finding the right test program to run and the results were difficult to interpret. Would you say this device is better on all counts?

    I am wondering the same thing. Can someone (who has this unit) comment as to whether it will bleed the F1 system?

    Considering the OP has done that and the software is pretty much the same as the x431 - i would say it does .. can't be to sure with older 360 where various diag tools have trouble connect to TCU

    When you say “older 360”, do you mean 360s as a whole, or certain production years?
    Trying to figure out if this is only useable on 430 and up...

    I have an OLD OBDII reader and looking to upgrade to one with more capabilities. Reading through this thread may push me to actually buy one. Just a couple questions:

    1. I can check codes from the OBDii system on any car with no additional S/W, correct? I just need a manufacturer pack if I want to dig deeper.
    2. What does the "RESET" Subscrition bring? Can I not clear a code with the regular subscription? Is this for other operations beyond std OBD functions?

    Thanks for the help.

    BTW Amazon now lists a 2021 updated version for this unit. Same $99 price.

    Some older comments here but maybe it will help others. I have been trying to resolve the passenger seat weight sensing system due to a constant "airbag on" then "airbag off" message. When someone is in the seat it seems to function fine. I removed the seat the and in the meantime have set off the airbag light and symbol on the TFT screen. My AL619 and my Foxwell NT510 Elite (with up-to-date Ferrari software) cannot connect to the SRS. I have been reading about the Think Diag, probably the Think Scan Plus S7. Has anyone had success with that with a SRS in a 612 or other similar period/weight sensing F-car? Thanks.
