I've never looked for that, so I'm not sure. My car is in separate storage now, I'll try to remember to look when I have it back home, probably this coming weekend.

CRP919x Elite is going f$372 right now and claims to do all the coding plus diagnostic and reset functions. Will it work for me? I don't mind paying more but I also like to save money when I can and see no point paying more than necessary. There seem to be several with almost identical numbers, so it's really confusing. Thanks fthe advice and for all your posts on coding, I'm ready to take the plunge.

CPR919 line was not offered back when I bought mine, but should be fine by all reports. The lower cost units seem to have smaller screens, and lesser hardware specs (CPUs and RAM), but still do the same functions.

Thanks for the confirmation. I'll be ordering one and offering up my iCarsoft scan/reset model once I get it. I'm assuming this Launch tool will also work on BMW's? I can sell my Foxwell scanner too if it will.

Thanks for the heads up! Is there a main US based distributor? All of the websites selling these seem so sketchy.

@Arne2 With the X431 can you change the TPMS nominal tire pressure set points? From a google I see it can be done with the PWIS, not sure if that functionality is in the X431 as well.

thanks,

There are so many it is confusing, but this one on Amazon is shipped from Launch, instead of a third party.

I'm pretty sure I've seen it in there, Jeremy. In the Instrument Cluster section, I think.

Yes - System Selection > Instrument cluster > Brush Hidden/Modified > Search for Coding items

Search for 'Nominal' and all the TPMS choices come up. Note that they are listed with front (VA) and rear (HA) separately, and are not listed in PSI, or even kPa like the door jamb sticker shows, but in bar. (1 bar = 100 kPa)
