ECU Programming And Coding. It’s Easier To Run

Reliable ECU Data Backup,Faster Recovery And Less Downtime

• When customizing your vehicle, there is always a question: will it be able to revert the changes in case of human error, system failure, or data loss that bricks the vehicle computer?
• This is where the “Backup/Recovery ECU Data” function can prove to be very useful.
• Unlike traditional car scanner backup methods that can be labor intensive and inconsistent, LAUNCH X431 PADVII provides a simple mechanism to back up all your ECU programming and coding data.
• It allows you to make a copy of your current Coding, Adaptations, and other info (such as Advanced ID and Live Data) of a selected control module, and save them as a file into your scan tool as a backup.
• To restore coding or programming values, just select the backup file you need and you’ll effortlessly get reverted back to the old settings/coding in a control module.
• For now this function is compatible with Ben.z all series, and B.M.W F/G/I chassis.
• **NOT universally compatible. Function menus may depend on vehicle’s make, model and year.

Programming Online For Benz And BMW, Save Your Labor Greatly

• Launch stores the Benz & BMW’s massive programming data in the cloud, rather than relying solely on a hard drive, so you won't lose access if something happens to your hard drive.
• Launch  PAD VII saves time to guide your programming directly. Unlike any scan tools before, it practically anticipates your next move by guiding you through every step you need to find the solution patch while avoiding the steps you don’t, within a highly intuitive user interface that’s simple to learn and operate.
• With this automatic Online Programming, you’ll have the confidence to tackle more challenges than ever before. The only requirements are a stable and solid internet connection, and an external battery charger for your successful operation.

>> Can I Use The Diagnostic Tool To Program Audi, VW, Porsche … Besides Benz And BMW?

• Answer: Yes, provided you have installed, downloaded the manufacturer’s programming software, and paid for the valid subscription.
• With SmartLink C VCI Box (compatible with J2534-1 and -2; value of 2000+ bucks), you can cost-effectively add new OEM applications for 30+ car brands, with no need to purchase separate, expensive OE scan tools for each brand.

>> What Happens If I Don't Program A New ECU After Installing It On My Car?

• Answer: Nothing will happen, because the system doesn't know how to react, since the PROM that governs the circuits of ECU “what to do” is blank.
• It cannot command the injectors to open or the coil(s) to fire. It cannot command the fuel pump to send fuel. It cannot read the external temperature, or even the temperature of the coolant, because there are no instructions defining what is hooked to the ECU, and there is no information to tell the system when to open the injectors, or for how long.

Please Note:

1. Online Programming: **Please reach us to get the "X431 PADVII online programming activation method".
2. J2534 Reprogramming: **Note: Reach us to get the J2534 Operation manual.
