LAUNCHX-431 i-TPMS Tire Pressure Monitor System Service Tool Work with X-431 Scanner and i-TPMS APP Supports All 315/433MHz Sensors - [Upgraded Version of TSGUN]

The device alone is only half the system of course, you can pair it either with an X-431 scanner, or a phone app: i-TPMS which you can download by scanning the barcode on the back of the device. Note - the phone app supports fewer features than the X-431 scanner.It's compatible with all 315/433 MHz sensors, which covers the vast majority of vehicles sold.The tool is quite lightweight - plastic build but reasonably robust and with nice big buttons so you can easily manage it with gloves. It's a rechargeable unit and mine arrived with no charge at all which is unusual. At this point I noted that the USB-C charging port is non-spec - it doesn't support proper USB-C cables - you need to use a cheap USB-A to USB-C cable. Annoying that they cheaped out here - meant I wasted an hour trying to charge it before swapping cables.In the meantime I scanned the QR code to download the phone app. Note you will need to have your phone settings to allow you to install apps from places other than Google Play - this is easily done and I won't go into it here.Once the app is installed you can easily connect it to the device. Note - when it scans for the device it shows up as a faded red box with the Serial Number. This looks like it's disabled, but it's not. You need to click it and hit OK. The hand-held unit during this time displays nothing to indicate it is being connected - in fact the unit doesn't really do anything until you start to use it via the app.Through the app you select the vehicle make, model and year and then you can work through the sensors using the keypad on the device.You can read the existing sensors and derive some information from them - more functionality here is available through the X-431. Through the mobile app you can1) Replace the sensor2) Activate a sensor3) Program the Sensor ID4) Query the OE part number5) Generate tire pressure detection reportsI can't fault the tool, and the price-point is typical of this kind of professional instrument.

I should preface this by saying this is only one half of what you need, but the other half can be filled by simply downloading an app. This is a small inconvenience for such a valuable tool to add to your arsenal though. With cars becoming more and more complicated, it can feel impossible to care for some of the smaller problems on your own. This handy little device helps a lot to bridge the gap and reduce the amount of times your need to check your car into a garage.That being said though, you do need to have some understanding of what you're doing to really use this thing. It's not just an ordinary tool that most people could understand how to use just by looking at it. The connectivity with the app is very easy though and helps you out a lot.I use this a lot with my car and its really helped to maintain it over the last month. I'd happily recommend it to any petrol heads out there looking to cut down on the garage costs of maintaining their motors.

I used the app, I'm not quite sure why you need a whole other deviceIt does work with the app okWorks with multiple frequencies which is helpfulIt's lightweightBattery life is pretty good

The reality is that this device can replace a very expensive tool and it is very easy and practical to use but I would definitely recommend reading through the whole user manual in order to understand all the functionalities that it has. The good part is that this has the ability of removing the tpms warning light which is very helpful. I gave this to my brother for him to use because he is very experienced with this type of device and I asked him what is his opinion about the product and he told me that so far it works great and it is easy to understand how to operate it. He compared it with a 1500 pounds device that he was using and he said that it works the same so everything is in order with this product and it works properly.

This TPMS tool is a great option if you want something straightforward for monitoring your tire pressure at home. It handles all the basics like activating sensors, programming, and diagnosing, plus it reads useful data like tire pressure and temperature. I found it easy to use with my car, and the connection to my phone is a nice bonus, making it more convenient when you’re on the move.The tool works with both 315 and 433MHz sensors, which is a plus for flexibility. Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone looking to take care of their tire sensors without too much hassle.

Everything seems to be so complex on modern cars today and repairing them requires a great deal of specialist tools.Launch is a well respected brand in the UK, and popular with both independent and small garages.This Tpms reader/writer is compatible with a lot of diagnostic machines from Launch and also works with some branded units.I have connected this to a Launch GRP MOT IV, which I have had for a few months and it required me to do a firmware update to allow the TPMS wand to connect, but once completed I found it simple to use, and extremely useful.Launch has some very good online tutorials which are simple to follow, and it is compatible with about 95% of tyre pressure sensors on the market.It is able to both read data from the valves and reprogram new ones and is a must have device for garages in my opinion.I have to say that I’ve found to be excellent value, very well made and robust, straightforward to use, and highly compatable with exsisting tech.I hope you find my review helpful.
