Excellent tool
I've been using the LAUNCH X431 PAD VII ELITE in my shop for a couple of works now. It's really a reliable long-term investment. It connects quickly to the vehicle and pulls the Vin and system info. It comes with multiple adapter for older vehicle models.The vehicle coverage is good for our needs,handling most of the domestic and import cars that come through our doors The powerful bidirectional control and programmable functions work as advertised. I've used it for a number of resets and coding procedures,and it has performed reliably. The intelligent topology map makes the scanning straightforward and has been helpful in tracking a few electrical gremlins. The wireless setup is convenient.The 13-inch screen is very clear,and the touch response is good.So far,it hasn't frozen on me during use,which is a plus. Overall,this diagnostic tool has been one of the best I've ever used. I'd recommend it to other independent techs or shop owners who are looking for a good balance of features and cost.

Buy once, Cry once. Excellent Tool
For the record I am not a mechanic. I don’t work in a shop. Just a DIYer thats looking for the best possible investment for the next 10-15 years. Is it overkill for my purposes, yes but don’t care. :) First time owner of a diag scanner of this caliber. Built like an absolute TANK, massive battery, thick heavy duty cables and connectors. Easy to use interface but the functions will take some time to learn unless you’re a pro. Multiple OBDII adapters, EV and commercial vehicle compatible, hands down the best. The steering wheel holder is a nice touch but the kick stand is SOLID. Arrived in a massive carrying case and shipped fast! This device has helped me diagnose and cure the trans stutter in my 2018 Nissan sentra. Don’t let the price tag discourage you. It is well worth the investment for anyone wanting a “future proof” diag tool. Keep in mind there is an update fee after the initial 2 year window. Budget for this fee. My research shows it can be anywhere from $100-1500 depending on how many services you want updated. The Launch Academy feature is something I didn’t expect this device to have. Tons of educational material to watch at your fingertips. (Pics coming with the update)

El producto está interesante con bastantes funciones que aún estoy aprendiendo intenté buscar en las redes sociales pero encontré poco sobre este producto de alguna forma recomendaría un tutorial para este producto ya que yo no soy un experto técnico y aún me falta experiencia pero es necesario para la función en que me desempeño tal vez con el tiempo pueda aprender un poco más y yo mismo hacer un video compartiendo las funciones

I did a lot of research before splashing out on this due to the cost, but I have to say, so far, very impressed. This is the Launch Pad VII and is basically the 'world' version of the Launch 'Euro Tab III' which is sold by the European part of Launch, but is about £3000 cheaper than the Euro tab! This version only comes with the tablet and the VCI which plugs into the OBD port in the car. The 'Euro Tab III' comes with all the extra bits, so a boroscope, battery tester, key programmer and TPMS kit, but I already have the boroscope and battery tester which only cost about £50 max each if you buy them individually, and I don't have any need for the key programmer or TPMS in my work. The actual software on this tablet is identical to the software on the Euro Tab to my knowledge, and is really what you are paying for. So for me, it's a top of the range, dealer level diagnostic tool for a fraction of the price of either the Euro tab, or an Autel equivalent. The tablet is, as expected, very sturdy and will survive life in a garage, but I have to say, the actual hard storage case for the tablet is ridiculous, it is the size of a large suitcase! I honestly thought I'd been delivered the wrong item when it arrived, but it certainly isn't going to get broken or lost if you do choose to keep it in there! The tablet is a decent Android tablet, so on top of the Launch software you can use Google, have access to the Google Play shop, and hey, you could even use it watch Netflix if you wanted! This makes it great to google stuff, send emails, or watch You Tube tutorials for repairs if you need to while working on a repair. I have found that the internet does sometime drop out which is annoying as you have to reboot, but that's when I'm at the extremes of the router, so outside etc, I guess it would be easy enough to then hook it up to run off a hot spot on my phone, but having no SIM itself this could be an issue if you was a mobile mechanic etc? It does need the internet to work. A future version where you could pop in a PAYG SIM card would be great. The link up to the VCI is super fast and diagnostic set up is dead simple and very impressive, you simply run a smart search and then scan through any red bits, easy. I love the fact you can then run a professional looking diagnostic report which you can simply email back to yourself from the machine and then print out for the customer, you can even add your garage logo etc to make it look even better. You can then run a post report showing all the codes cleared after repair. Finally, a mention of the X431 'Fix' element. Basically, for every fault code you have two options, you can press a button which automatically runs a google search and brings back all the relevant You Tube videos and forum threads which is really helpful, or you can click on the X431 'Fix' button, this then takes you into Haynes Pro, BUT, on this version you need to buy a Haynes Pro subscription, I think, with the Euro Tab you get Haynes Pro included, but again, you are paying more than £3000 more! I already have a Haynes Pro subscription, so I have simply linked this up, this then takes you in to Haynes Pro where you can get all the details you need. Again, very impressive. I do need to add, doing it this cheap way means you do have to manually search within Hayne Pro for the fault code, on the Launch expensive version I believe it pre-populates the search, but I'm not paying three grand extra to save having to type in a fault code. I haven't had a need to use the 'remote diagnostic' where you can purchase eternal support to recode etc while the machine is plugged in, I tend to work on the older cars, but in my research this seemed to get good feedback. In summary, it is very expensive, and only you know if its value for money for what you need, but it is a current top of the range diagnostic tool, and it is very impressive and has certainly added value and saved me time. Overall, I can see this over time more than paying for itself. This is a cheap way of getting software this good, but with that, you have to do more of your own setting up etc. I couldn't find many actual reviews when I doing my research so hopefully this is helpful. Likewise, a lot of the sites selling launch tools are Chinese and have a feel of a scam, although no doubt they are all official Launch dealers, it was just for the price of this machine I preferred the security of purchasing through Amazon, and it was also as cheap as any of the overseas sites.
