ONTARIO, Canada – Launch Tech USA has introduced its latest scan tool, the X431 Launch Pad. With its large 9.7-inch IPS color touch screen and Windows 7, multiple applications can be utilized simultaneously and at “blazing speeds,” the company says. Performance is further optimized with an automatic vehicle ID and module search feature, greatly reducing the technician’s guesswork and diagnostic time, according to the company.
The Launch Pad also boasts the latest in OBDII wireless technology with a patented communications chip that utilizes LPT (Large Packet Transfer) Technology, offering the fastest and most stable OBD wireless diagnostics experience in the industry, the company adds.
Launch Pad also comes with a 30-day free trial of Identifix Direct-Hit. Identifix Direct-Hit features an integral application that automatically identifies the vehicle through Legacy AAIA Vehicle ID. With the simple input of symptom or DTC information, Identifix Direct-Hit displays experience-based confirmed known fixes right on the spot.
“From our unparalleled success of the Launch GDS introduced last year, Launch has demonstrated its superior level of proficiency in bringing to market PC-Windows based Diagnostics platforms that work,” said Harlan Siegel, VP of diagnostics. “The X-431 Launch Pad is a next level continuation of a value packed innovation from Launch. Technicians can perform wireless-to-the-vehicle diagnostics, view graphs, and record PID data, while obtaining real world repair solutions via Wi-Fi all at the same time.”
The Launch Pad’s capabilities also are expandable, the company says. Optional modules for a labscope, sensor simulator, battery tester and J2534 passthru device can be added.
As with all Launch Proline scan tools, coverage for Asian, European and
domestic are included, with a free, one-year subscription. Users can update via the Internet with one click, and update a single car line in less than 45 minutes, the company noted.
