I´m working with Launch x431 and Brain Bee. To asian cars is more complete Launch. If it is to work in European cars i prefer Brain Bee.

i never see brain bee , how much did u pay for the launch ? i found the price of it variable online some offer it for 700 and some for 1500 what is the difference?

[kninio]

I use Bosch KTS 670, X431 is stone age compared it IMO

tried to edit post and couldnt :

it is purely based on your budget, my spec KTS was approx £10,000GBP
the X431 i paid £1700, you get what you pay for really, but wasnt impressed with the X431, id rather buy a used Snap on Modis (NO OTHER SNAP ON) or a bosch KTS570 or 670.

well i like the bosch one , but its to much $$$$$$$$$$ and i cant pay that much , that is why am asking for the launch x431..

Hi,I have launch x431 diagun about one year.Very good small diagnostic tool.Works good for me when I need connect other car makes.For audi VCDS is the best.

@ Sleeper Avant , Indeed , it always impress me the bosch one except the price of it didnt impress at all

@ Biturbo i have genuine vagcom and it help me all the way with vag cars , i just want launch one cos some times i must deal with peugeot or bmw so it could save me time then going to garrage for simple stuff , the one u have is chinise or genuine one? cos i think they replica it in china and that is why the price range is variable for it.

Brain Bee cost around 4900€. You need pay annual 500€.

I see that you need low cost solution, why you can´t purchase " clone " cables to solution? Example, OPCOM to OPEL.

My launch from chine,but if it is copy,then very good quality.For BMW,Peugeot,Opel and other makes is really good.Just for mercedes is not so good but still can work, just takes longer they have too many modules.Launch battery last my for 3 weeks I connecting about 3-4 cars in week.One more thing is good no wires, so you can be around car.

I bought from www.esldomino.com,but now you can get better price from www.aliexpress.com.Just advise always ask seller write small price ($100 or $200) when is sending item for taxes reason.

I have the Launch x431. Its great for a few reasons, one of which is you don't need to pay a subscription. You can update it whenever you like so there is no need to buy expensive updates all the time, particularly if you are not working on brand spanking new cars.
