Ferrari Diagnostic Tool for $775 (Launch X431 V Pro)

Charles,

Oddly enough I will be attending a Launch seminar this evening with one of the factory reps onboard.
I'm interested in the same unit for my F430 and will be paying close attention to its ability for gearbox diagnostic and activations.
Looks like it has what we might need for the F1 system and clutch replacement if needed and much more..
Thanks for sharing..

Maybe you can ask about when they will have e-diff functions?

Thank you

If you can find out more about the 360 support, that would be great too!

 

Thank you so much

One more question ..did you remove the actuator and turn the screws as per user manual ?

If so ..was it a major pain ?

Both STEYR Differential parameters or Ediff are classified as VCD or V=Version identification/C:Read fault, Clear fault/D:Read data stream
I will question the depth of this and what the future holds for SW updates..

Interesting. I have a Launch CP123, and it connected to my 360 easier than any other OBDII reader. I just picked up a Foxwell scanner, which came with the Ferrari software installed, but I haven't tried it out yet. Will be interested to see how this turns out. Was pretty impressed with my Launch reader, much better than the Actron readers I have

 

Good point ..it does not say anything about activation like other areas

I have the LAUNCH X431 Series IV which has the built in printer. Wonder if it has similar features as your tablet to communicate with an F360 or F599 as it does come with a diagnostic cable adaptor which can fit on the Ferrari OBD connector. Its actually a product designed in Germany and built in CHina. As a result the technical info in China is v limited even though they give fantastic service. I bought my unit 5 years ago and still get sales promo updates from their team. Very keen to hear from you Flyingbric242 as to how you went with the fty seminar?

 

Would be fantastic if your feedback is positive . Good bye to reliance on the SD2 and 3 for basic info we all struggle to get for maintenance issues. Just getting an appointment for an inspection in cities like HK is 1 to 2 months due to the number of cars here.

 

The Launch docs that state coverage are not reliable - they say they have 348 coverage which cannot be accessed thru OBDII as those cars are not OBDII.

My guess is Launch hacked the Ferrari software or Leonardo as IP theft in China is quite common.

 

Quite possible they reverse Engineered it but with a German Parent Co, I am not sure if that is the case. Very impressive list of code reading capabilities for the F599 though. Makes life a lot easier

 

Having software for a car that you can't connect to makes little to no sense which leads me to believe they copied the software. The amount of development time for every make / model would be so extensive that I just don't see it happening.

 

Gentlemen,

I attended the Matco/Launch event last nite and have the following to report.
1-To start there must have been 75+ techs there from every brand imaginable so getting a indepth discussions with the Launch rep was tuff.
2-Launch has now a newer version of the X431 V pro which is the Launch X431 Torque...he demo its features with the identical version sold through Matco.[Maximus]
3-Still digging deeper into the Torques additional ability's if any to support our Ferrari's when compared to the older version X431 V Pro.
If anyone has deeper insight to this later model [Torque] Please feel free to chime in..

Hey Guys,

Just finished conversation with Launch technical department and there is No additional diag abiltys between the X431 V pro or launch torque.
It will be hard for me to justify the addition $$$....

Thanks for posting!
I am surprised it can do an oil-life reset because (at least on my 458) the tool has to communicate with the factory server (as it is also checking for SW updates)

 

Here is a link of one video using the pro ..if you subscribe or search all their posts .you can see on different vehicles including a 458

Sorry to ask again ..but does anyone have the inside track to the developers so how to ask for e-diff functions and a fix to pis ?

I tried multiple contacts with launch and other forums with no luck

Thanks in advance
