X-431 i-TPMS Tire Pressure Monitor System Service Tool Work with X-431 Scanner and i-TPMS APP Supports 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 can 1) Replace the sensor 2) Activate a sensor 3) Program the Sensor ID 4) Query the OE part number 5) Generate tire pressure detection reports I can't fault the tool, and the price-point is typical of this kind of professional instrument.

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.

Could not connect to my xdiag and when downloaded app, could not read any sensors

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.

When Sarah from next door mentioned a tool that could read tyre pressures so easily, it felt like she was sharing a well-kept secret for all those daily school runs. Living in bustling Cardiff, having something dependable to keep my car in check while juggling teaching, yoga classes, and running errands with the kids felt like having a trusty companion. This tool is great for quickly dealing with those pesky low tyre pressure indicators without needing a trip to the garage. Although I'm not very tech-savvy, with a bit of guidance, I found it straightforward to manage. I did face a small learning curve when syncing it to my phone, but the process eventually became smoother. Now, I can just relax, knowing it’s supported by tech assistance if needed. It's quite empowering to have that bit of independence for maintenance right at my fingertips.

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.

PROS -paired with LAUNCH X-431 tablet (or app), this is a hugely useful tool for the appropriately equipped car -easy to use, even with gloves on -lightweight -long lasting battery CONS -takes quite a while to charge (will not take PD power) -complicated piece of kit, not for the newbie NOTES -phone app not as functional as X-431 tablet MY STAR RATINGS: 1* substandard, mostly cons 2** barely acceptable, cons outweigh the pros 3*** meets the basic requirements, cons balance the pros 4**** good product, pros outweigh the cons 5***** exceptional, all (or almost all) pros

It works great. I had 4 sensors programmed in just a few minutes.

This unit is worth every penney! I just replaced all my tire sensors due to the age of them. They were starting die from the battery age. After replacing I tried to activate the new sensors and one sensor would not activate cause the rest not to register. I then took the truck to the dealer, they said they could not activate the sensor. I went for several months without an activation. After purchasing the Launch TPMS tool I was able to activate the sensor on my truck and saved having to replace that one sensor. This tool is highly recomended. Thanks Launch

Works like a hot dam! Charge, point at sensor and it logs it, Activates it and can reset them Wicked tool

Product is working great. Saved money buying the programmer and tire sensors over a tire shop. Not having programmed tire sensors previously it was a little cumbersome. This paired well with my launch scanner. Over all with the money saved and the time saved programming myself, I’d say it’s well worth it.

Extremely well made TPMS programing tool. It has a rubber coating just like most true automotive diagnostic tools. Won't slip with greasy hands. First off this tool must be paired with an Android phone or a scan tool. I paired it with my phone easily... Just scanned the code on the back of the tool, installed the app, done. There is a orange square on the end of the tool. That must be around the valve stem for this to work. The battery on your TPMS valve must be good as well. It will not recognize a valve stem with a dead battery. I tried it on my 2011 Tahoe... And couldn't get it to recognize and valve. Obviously dead batteries because I tried it on my Husband's 2017 van and it recognized them immediately. Mind you at first it did not, lol but my husband knocked off a hubcap in the fall and hasn't bothered putting it back on, and the tool recognized that valve in seconds because I was able to put the square opening Around the valve where as I could not with the hubcaps on. Lol so I had him remove the other 3 hubcaps and it registered them immediately as well. So the tool works well but the batteries must be good in the stem and you must be able to put the tool around the valve stem for it to work. I hope this helps in your decision making. Oh, lol and my husband now has all 4 hubcaps back on his truck
