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

I stopped buying Ferraris after the 550 because I can't fix the F1 or DCT boxes and the incestuousness of CANBUS ecus. When $1000 tools become a game changer I will start buying again. I would love an F12. Thanks nessus for posting about this and keep updates of your LAUNCH use coming. You are giving us hope!

 

I truly believe they won't be able to answer because they did not engineer the software and probably don't even know how to use it.

 

I think it is the same software repackaged for MAC tools ..so maybe a rep can help ???

Dave- When all you do is steal someone else's software, the technical depth is about like a dog watching TV.

 

flash32,
Thanks!

I have a version of Xdiag Pro V10.26 Why is your launch only at version V10.21. Also, not all that is shown works, at least on mine. Cannot access Beru Tyre Pressure system for starters.

 

Where do you see they have a German parent company? Looks like this is the parent company to me: http://en.cnlaunch.com/ I'm with Dave that they are just ripping off either Ferrari's own software or Leonardo. With all the data being transmitted over CAN its very easy to stick a CAN reader on the network and just copy all the commands another software puts out and create a knock off.

 

Possibly so but I’d expect the IP owners to come down on them pretty quickly especially if they are distributing in the US and Europe.

Hopefully not true though as for the average owner something like this is long overdue.

 

Guys - it's real simple - they have a product (software) that they can't support and software that does not work. Why? Because they did not write it - they copied it.

Not sure if you know but Mac sells the same unit just marketed under their name

Hey Dominick - yeah, I've seen that before. Looks like the splash screen is a bit different and they are not using the trademarked company (auto manufactures) logos.

BTW, I have this tool also - got it a few months back and have used it successfully on my Maserati to clear a TPMS fault. I have a factory SD2 though for Ferrari.

 

It is amazing ..good or bad ..how they cover over 72 brands with dealer level diagnostic

Oh you mean like Mircrosoft!

 

No, not Microsoft. Last I knew, aside from the long ago Apple stuff they write their own software.

 

Yeah but I can't say they support the products. Ever try and fail to get an answer out of MS?

 

On some, it almost reaches dealer levels, it does not carry out actuations on very much. I have only tried on Porsche and ferrari, it covers later Lambo a reasonable amount. My Autel does the same but only today neither the Autel nor Leonardo would access a 360 gearbox to read off parameters, despite several attempts. Neither of my scanners will allow some changes to clutch software other than PIS. They are windows into the ECU souls, not the fixes.

 

I've probably tried and failed to get an answer out of everyone I've ever known, at some point.

Beyond that, the significant number of computer users are willfully ignorant to begin with or don't read the manual. Or both. That isn't an indictment on Microsoft.

 

Anyone with updates on this? I have the Xdiag through mechanicservice6 but I can't use it until the app is updated and he's not answering his PM's.
About the only question I have is will it do PIS and abs brake bleed on a 360?
I've tried calling and emailing Launch and they've yet to return either,
Thanks.

 

PIS depends on your TCU model and if it does connect it will only enter whole numbers. Otherwise TCU functionality is excellent.
Brake bleed no but not really needed.

 

Back in 06 I put a CS TCU in my car so the PIS is adjustable. The ABS brake bleed just makes the job easier.
