Launch SmartLink VCI (comes with X431 PAD V/PAD VII/PRO5) does work as a J2534 programming device with many manufacturers.

Each time you open it it’s going to check for updates.

It doesn’t always successfully update so we’re waiting waiting waiting and we get a message for some updates.

Once update finished, wee’re going to connect to the vehicle.

It should pop up a screen to pick our j2534 communication device we are going to pick the Launch J2534.

You will see it connects with Launch J2534 interface

Many of these vehicles don’t allow used modules to be programmed so if you put a used transmission in you will likely fail programming it.

But some of them do go through just fine this one.

It’s a 2021 model. It is kind of hit or miss some of these vehicles will program the engine control module and the transmission control module in a sequential programming.

Select TCM module

It’ll drop down fairly rapidly most of these vehicles take 3 to 7 minutes to program the transmission.

Program ECU until completed.

Then it should pop up with a calibration confirmation screen even though it’s at 100% it’s probably doing a little bit of file cleanup.

So here we go we have the VIN number TCM programming it shows that it was complete.

I purchased the Launch X431 V+ with the intent of using it to flash a used control module for my car. When I discovered that the Launch X431 V+ could not do that I purchased a PIWIS III clone with the intention of selling the Launch X431 V+ but I have not got around to selling it yet because it is so much easier to use then the PIWIS III.Here is what I have done so far with each one. Launch X431 V+ : Cleared all the fault codes stored in the car. Activated the Aux setting in PCM (PCM/CDR) I had to add an aux cable to the PCM to make use of this one. Changed the number of flashes for one touch turn signal from 3 to 5 (Front-end Electronics) Activated Comfort entry windows up/down via keyfob (Front-end Electronics) Changed the speed when the doors auto lock, 3 mph to 20 mph (Front-end electronics) Changed the speed when...
