Description
The Launch X-431 Master is a direct replacement for the best selling X-431 scan tool. The Master has acquired all the diagnostic functions of the X-431, with a number of improvements. An all new integrated structure allows faster software download times, speeding up ECU communication and, at the same time, providing enhanced software security.
The new platform represents the highest level of diagnostic technology. Functions available include, read/erase DTC's, read datastream digitally and by waveform, diesel injector coding, component actuation, service light reset, brake caliper retraction, ECU coding and many other advanced functions. Updates come on an almost daily basis and 3 years such updates are supplied free with the X-431 Master. Electing not to renew the software contract brings no financial penalties of any kind. Warranty is 2 years.
One 16 pin connector is now used to communicate with all cars fitted with a standard J1962 OBD connector and this replaces the external Super-16 adapter needed for both the X-431 and Launch Autobook.
The X-431 Master has 24V operating capability enabling it to work with different input voltages, whilst providing unit protection from unexpected voltage surges.
An integrated thermal printer allows instant printing of all on-screen content, including the dynamic live date stream, and ECU identification.
The X-431 Master diagnostic kit will help your business grow by providing straightforward, ready diagnostics over a broad range of systems for nearly all cars found on UK roads.
The X-431 Master represents an essential investment for professional workshops.

Benefits of Leasing
Whether you're thinking of starting a new business or want to expand on your current garage and need equipment to get going, you're probably trying to decide on how to purchase that equipment
Often the best option is equipment lease.
Here are the reasons why:
- Improve Cash Flow
Leasing allows you to purchase equipment that is important to your business and keep valuable cash in your bank that may be used for other projects that are not as tax efficiemt/ You can use the loans that you qualify for to get other things the business needs. A business can only get so much money on loan so you want to use it wisely. - Ownership of the Equipment
We offer the customer ownership of the equipment at the end of the lease. No collateral required. The equipment is the collateral which means that you don't have to risk losing any other assets when you get a lease. - Unsecured Borrowing
The equipment that is leased is the only security necessary. No property is used as security. It doesn't take a lot of money to start leasing the equipment. Minimal Investment is always good for start-up - Fixed Rate Payments
All payments are fixed for the period of the lease and are only affected by changes in VAT and Capital Allowances - 100% Tax Efficient
All leasing payments are 100% tax allowable. Every payment that is made on a leasing agreement could qualify to reduce a business Corporation Tax bill

£625 plus VAT for 2 years or £475 for one year.
