Launch X431 V vs. Pro mini vs. Diagun IV

I purchased the Launch X431 Pro Mini off http://www.obdii365.com/wholesale/launch-x431-pro-mini-diagnostic-tool.html This tool works on the  2020 Porsche Macan S  (mine was built 14 Sept 2019, delivered 20 Dec 2019 – takes a while to get from Germany to Australia), I just proved it. Mine came in a retail package with all the paperwork, part number/specific registration code, etc. via DHL in 5 days. I was able to register with the main company and I have 2 years of free updates… I’ve actually updated the vehicle manufacturers software twice, so launch are obviously active in keeping up with new vehicle changes This software is much more user friendly than VCDS, Durametric Pro, BMW Software (ISTA-P, NCS, BMW Standard Tools) which I have. BTW, I tested the software on Kia Cerato(Forte5), Rio & Australian Holden Astra BK as well as the Porsche, & works perfectly on these brands as well.

Ferrari 4200 clutch wear calculation diagnosis with Launch X431

I recently had an  Launch X431 , and I realize that the  clutch wear calculation on my Ferrari 4200 is incorrect. So yes, it is not a Ferrari, but there is no reason why it should be different for the prancing horse. Have other people noticed this problem on other Maserati or Ferrari vehicles? Do you have diag reports (SDx, MVDCI, Leonardo, Texa or others) where these values  ​​appear? 1 / How is wear calculated? It is quite simply the difference between the current wear and the theoretical maximum. For this, the system makes the difference between the position of the clutch release bearing when the assembly is new and the current position. The formula is simply (given in the Maserati training manual): The thickness of 5.6 mm represents the maximum wear, reduced to the stop.
