Why you should choose a Launch PAD II
Welcome to the world of clones/fake/ copy/poor workmanship poor quality diagnostic tools. However, this problem crosses all electronic equipment categories, and there are consequences with purchasing non-genuine machines.
Says Launchtech’s Vince Ainsworth: “We have been the distributors for Launch for many years now and have seen many of the tricks and stories going around. So we thought we would help you out and reassure you that you are buying from a company that takes responsibility as the NZ distributor seriously.
“Over the last several years we have seen many variations of fake/ copy/cloned units around. This could deliver you a HUGE and very expensive problem.
“Diagnostic tools have the potential to cause irreversible and serious damage to your vehicle’s onboard electronic Modules. Some of the workmanship inside fake/cloned units is very poor. It really is a massive risk connecting some of these scanners into the vehicle’s diagnostic port – replacing an ECU, or reprogramming back at the dealers, is not a cheap fix.
“We’ve seen it all. A popular way to sell Launch scanners is to sell off a range of Chinese websites, all boasting to be the official launch dealer. The Chinese domestic Launch is completely different in software and hardware. These companies selling them have rewritten/stolen copy English software to satisfy the bargain hunter.”
He said that as the official Launch distributors Launchtech guarantees that all the Launch diagnostic scanners it sells are direct from Launch head office.
“We make sure they are the best option for diagnostic scanning on 98 percent of vehicles on New Zealand roads. It is false economy buying from overseas and from a parts company that sell overseas region scanners. The last thing you want to do is buy a tool which fails to work as described, or find it’s a clone and cannot be registered, repaired or supported. Here at LaunchNZ we are only a phone call away.” Vince says the top-of-the-range Launch scanner is the proven Launch X431 PAD II. He says it is the fastest and has the most features. And now Launch has added various new functions which are free for all existing and new launch PAD II users. Launch has now included the following automatic reset functions on the PAD II: Service reset, 2. Brake Pad Reset, 3. Steering Angle Reset, 4. DPF Burn-off reset, 5. Throttle Relearn Reset, 6. Battery Reset, 7.Brake Bleeding – and more coming.
