Today we look at the all new X431 Pro TT scan tool by Launch…. a must see for anyone looking to buy a new scan tool. It is a high-end full bidirectional control diagnostic scan tool. This is a very capable scan tool and Launch is a brand that is the favorite of many technicians everywhere. If you watch a lot of the “Youtube Mechanics” you’ll now that a lot of guys swear by this brand. The new X431 PRO TT is new for 2024 and it’s sure to be a very popular item. One of the many great features on this tool is the live data graphing capabilities. You can select up to 12 live data pids, and display up to 8 individual graphs on screen at the same time. There are a lot of other high end scan tools that currently do not have this capability. This tool is absolutely worth checking out if you’re in the market for a high end, full function scan tool from a brand that many guys swear by.
In this video I show hot to use two different Autel scan tool accessories. The first one is the Autel MV108S video inspection camera (scope) along with the MaxiVideo app. The second demonstration is the Autel BT506 Bluetooth battery tester along with the battery tester app. I am using the all new Autel MP900Z-BT scan tool to demonstrate both of these accessories. The scan tool model is only about 1-2 months old at the time when his video was recorded. Both of these Autel accessories work very well and they would make for a great addition to anyone’s set of diagnostic tools.
This is the newest model in the Autel lineup of OBDII diagnostic scan tools. This Bidirectional control scan tool is the next step up from the 808 series. It includes several new features that the previous 808 series does not have. The new features include Wifi printing, Pre & Post scan, and license plate and VIN# scanning, etc. This new model has a 8 inch screen, (larger than the 7″ found on the 808) a 7700mAh battery (larger than the 5000mAh batter with the 808) and it also includes an 8 megapixel camera and flash. (the 808 series never had a camera or a flash) In this video I was asked to focus on the new software features that I mentioned earlier. In my opinion, Autel scan tools are hard to beat and they are my personal favorite of all the scan tool brands on the market. However, these new software features such as VIN# / License plate scanning need a bit more refinement before I could take them as serious features. I know Autel will get them perfected and when they do, these features will be a great addition to their scan tool line-up. However, right now they seem unreliable and they are a novelty, at best.
Bottom line – This is one of the best scan tools money can buy right now, in my opinion. If you’re looking for a pro level scan tool with a great reputation then look no further. The way I see it…. this is a top of the line scan tool that just happens to also have some new (extra) software installed, (VIN / plate scan) that I didn’t really need in the first place, so if that extra software isn’t working properly yet, it’s not a big deal because I would have purchased this tool even if that extra software was not installed. And honestly, I don’t know many guys who use their scan tools tablet to manage their customer / vehicle information anyway. Sure, some guys do, but most shops use a proper computer with software designed for running an auto repair business. To each his own.
This scan tool is awesome when used as a scan tool. One of the best! All that other software fluff is a novelty….. in my opinion anyway!
This is a comparison video to show the differences between the OTOFIX D1 Pro, and the D1 Lite diagnostic scan tools. Both of these scanners have full bidirection control and full live data on all modules in most vehicles. The D1 PRO scan tool does have a few more software capabilities than the D1 Lite but most of those are extras are for makes/models that are not sold in the USA, with the exception being Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. However, the D1 PRO has a larger screen, bigger/faster processor, double the RAM, and double the storage, a much larger battery, etc, etc. Overall, the physical hardware of the D1 PRO makes the tool feel much snappier and quicker than the D1 Lite (and the Autel 808 series) and it gives a much better overall user experience. Both of these scan tool are capable both capable of doing the same work 99% of time but the D1 PRO is much faster a nicer to use. The one notable difference that I have personally noticed, and I showed in this videos, is the speed of the full system scan. The D1 Pro scan speed is absolutely incredible. Be sure to watch my demonstration in this video. I’m sure you’ll be surprised, too!
In this video I review the OTOFIX D1 Pro OBDII diagnostic scan tool. This bidirectional scan tool is a step up from the Autel 808 (or OTOFIX D1 Lite) series of scan tools. It has a larger screen, bigger and faster processor, newer Android operating system, faster Wifi, double the RAM and storage, larger battery, and it even has a few more features and functions. This automotive scanner is terrific! It’s an OTOFIX branded tool that is made and sold by Autel, and it runs on Autel software. The OTOFIX line of tools is an excellent and affordable way to get access to Autel software, AND you get those software updates free for TWO years, instead of only one year. If you’re in the market for a new scan tool, the OTOFIX line of scan tools should be near the top of anyone’s consideration list…. especially the D1 Pro as shown in this video. It’s a REALLY good solid scan tool. Be sure to check it out!
