Launch X431 PAD VII Vs. Autel MaxiIM 608 Pro

 

Both Launch X431 PAD VII and Autel MaxiIM 608 Pro are high-end devices built for professionals. If you find yourself weighing between the two, you’ll want to know that Launch offers a more user-friendly gadget. The PAD VII has a much bigger screen which makes interpreting the results fast and easy.

Both scanners can use a J2534 pass-thru programming device. However, Launch X431 PAD VII allows you to add seven modules to improve functionality. It can also perform ECU programming out of the box. That’s unlike the Autel model that needs to pair with the J2534 ECU VCI.

The Launch X431 PAD VII runs on a 19000mAh battery, while the Autel MaxiIM 608 pro has a 15000mAH battery. You’ll get more juice out of the PAD VII than the IM608 Pro.

One thing worth noticing is Launch X431 PAD VII provides users with the option to purchase additional software in “Mall” in their app, includes heavy duty, Tesla software, etc while IM608 Pro does not.

PAD 7 has full ADAS capability while im608pro has limited capabilities for ADAS.

Therefore, if you want a flexible device where you can add functions as you like, Launch X431 PAD VII is our recommended diagnostics tool.

How to Solve VW Amarok Caddy 2018+ Remote Not Working After Programming

Here comes the general problem of VW Amarok Caddy etc. 2018+ UDS protocol vehicles: 2019 VW Caddy. I spent a few hours programming the Xhorse key using VVDI2 . Also tried TDB1000. Remote function could not be obtained. Every time the programming failed, the original remote stopped working until I scanned and cleared errors. I expected it to work when the transponder was added (Megamos AES). I can’t access remote learning with any of my tools, nor did vvdi2 let me program the remote. I was wondering if anyone could confirm remote learning with transponders or how to learn it if not. Solution: It is not possible for BH remote controls after 2018 at the latest. You will not get any communication with the central locking remote control customization. You need a dealer key 100% and then learn from ODIS. There is no after-market solution, VAG blocked the remote channel on UDS vehicles 2018+. Had the exact same issues with new caddies. So merchant key and Odis ATM since the c...
