Does the job exactly as stated and intended with dealer level coding and programming functions. I was sceptical, but it does exactly what it claims. It's got the functionality of the larger launch devices, just tied to one brand (or group of brands) as advertised. Screen is nice and clear and easy to read in direct sunlight. Item is small enough to keep in glovebox . Menu structure is not the easiest to use, but if you have used other launch or similar diagnostic products, it's fairly intelligible. Supposedly has a built in battery, but it turns off when unplugged from vehicle, so no idea. Review: Brilliant diagnostic tool, but don't fiddle too much without knowing what you're doing! - This is a brilliant bit of kit and has helped me out various times since my purchase. But my advice would be, don't fiddle too much with settings that you're unsure about. I managed to accidentally reset my DDE CAS, resulting in my car only turning over, but not firing. And I got an error code - EWS tampering. I managed to sort the error, by reverting to original values for the DDE CAS and then I was able to start the car again. But definitely be careful. Overall, I am very happy with this product. It really is great value for money, it's very easy to use and it is a nice size device. It is handy being so portable, as I just keep it stowed away in my car, so it's always close by, if I need it. There are a ton of free features on this device, there are even some special functions and it is a great buy! ## Features - 🚗ECU Coding: 2026 year LAUNCH X431 Creader Elite for B.M.W obd2 scanner allows you to recode adaptive data for certain components after making repairs or replacements, and make the ECU recognize the replaced part.
