In the ever-evolving realm of automotive diagnostics, precision, speed, and efficiency stand as the cornerstones of success. Positioned as the "Junior Version" of the flagship Throttle 3 in the X-431 Professional Line, the LAUNCH X-431 Torque Link Plus has emerged as a true game-changer. This professional-grade tool caters to diverse vehicles, boasting comprehensive features, a compact size, unbeatable pricing, and exclusive availability through CAS (Canada Auto Solutions).
At its core, the X-431 Torque Link Plus distinguishes itself with bi-directional capability, allowing it to communicate with and control vehicle systems in both directions. This means diagnosing issues and actively testing, adjusting, and calibrating various components. Servicing a broad spectrum of vehicles, including Euro, Asian, and Domestic models, the X- 431 Torque Link Plus has become an indispensable companion for automotive professionals. One standout feature of the X-431 Torque Link Plus is its adaptability to additional modules, elevating its capabilities to new heights. This all-inclusive package eliminates the need for separate tools, covering tasks from Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to battery diagnostics, IMMO diagnostics, and an integrated oscilloscope. Equipped with pre-loaded software modules, the X-431 Torque Link Plus empowers technicians to efficiently tackle diverse challenges. Affordability is a key factor in the X-431 Torque Link Plus's appeal, as its price stands out as unbeatable compared to market competitors. This affordability makes cutting-edge diagnostics accessible to a broader range of automotive professionals, leveling the playing field and ensuring that top-notch tools are within reach for all. Exclusive through CAS, Launch TECH USA's partner for Canadian automotive professionals, the X-431 Torque Link Plus ensures direct access to this advanced diagnostic tool in Canada. This partnership adds a layer of trust and reliability for professionals seeking the best tools for their trade.
The X-431 Torque Link Plus introduces the Tech-to-Tech Remote Diagnostics feature to take diagnostics to the next level. This enables seamless communication between the Launch X- 431 Scan Tool or a PC and the X-431 Torque Link Plus. It allows technicians to remotely diagnose issues, share insights, and collaborate on solutions, making it a powerful tool for individual mechanics and teams working on projects from different locations. As cars become more advanced, fixing them gets trickier. The X-431 Torque Link Plus tackles this challenge with its Smartlink C – a Vehicle Communication Interface. It's like a language translator for your car, ensuring its software stays updated. This is crucial when replacing parts or dealing with carbon buildup. But here's the real game-changer: the Smartlink C teams up with the Smartlink B. Together, they allow technicians to update a car's software from a distance. Picture this – a mechanic miles away can tweak your car's brain with the right tools. It's like having a virtual pit crew, saving time and creating a global network of car expertise. John Marlowe, Co-founder of Level5drive Incorporated, swears by the X-431 Torque Link Plus for smoother rides.
❝For us, the launch X-431 software is capable, intuitive, and robust. We've been using this software for years now, and it continues to outperform any other aftermarket diagnostic and calibration software that we've tested. Further, it allows us to perform adas calibrations using the procedures spelled out in the oe repair manual, which is essential to our business. The introduction of the LAUNCH X-431 torque link plus has been nothing less than a game-changer for our business. Now we get the benefit of the X-431 software suite, and when needed, we can use oe software on our laptop along with the J2534 capability built-in to the system. If we need to use software that we don't have, the built-in smartlink feature allows us a choice of remote providers spanning the entire globe! This has allowed us to greatly increase the range of services we can offer without needing to resort to having multiple devices and tools to access third-party remote services. Additionally, this equipment comes with a 2-channel oscilloscope. Anyone who does electronic systems diagnostics knows how critical a good oscilloscope is, and having the ability to monitor and document directly from the same scan tool is very convenient. This is a rare instance of a product that is available at a significantly lower cost than competitive systems with similar capabilities, yet gives up absolutely nothing in terms of performance. ❞
❝As the Director of Operations at Canada Auto Solutions, I am thrilled to express our optimism about the LAUNCH X-431 Torque Link Plus and the ongoing partnership with Launch TECH USA. The introduction of this innovative tool has significantly enhanced our in-house operations and solidified our commitment to providing top-tier automotive solutions to professionals across Canada. The X-431 Torque Link Plus has seamlessly integrated into our diagnostic processes, offering unparalleled precision and efficiency. We are genuinely pleased with the performance and capabilities of the LAUNCH X-431 Torque Link Plus, and we look forward to more fruitful partnerships in the future.❞
In conclusion, the LAUNCH X-431 Torque Link Plus transcends being just a diagnostic tool; it's a complete solution for the modern automotive technician. Marlowe's testimony encapsulates the LAUNCH X-431 Torque Link Plus as a comprehensive, cost-effective, and high-performance diagnostic solution that has not only met but exceeded the expectations of Level 5 drive Incorporated. As a co-founder and key decision-maker within the company, Marlowe's endorsement carries weight, painting a compelling picture of the Torque Link Plus as an indispensable tool that has truly revolutionized their approach to automotive diagnostics. With the X-431 Torque Link Plus, automotive diagnostics aren't just a task; they're a precision-driven experience propelling technicians into the future of auto repair, ushering in the next generation of remote diagnostics with the "Smart Link C.”
]]>The sensors used in ADAS are mainly cameras, radar, lidar and ultrasonic. They can detect light, heat, pressure, or other variables used to monitor the state of the car. They are usually located in the front and rear bumpers, side mirrors, inside the steering column or in the windscreen.
Advanced driver assistance systems usually include Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keep System (LKS), Front Collision Warning (FCW), Rear Collision Warning (RCW), Pedestrian Collision Detection (PCD), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Night Vision System (NVS), Parking Assist System (PAS) and Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR).
Canada Auto Solutions (CAS) offers Static Calibration and Dynamic Calibration Solutions to shop owners and operators in Canada. While Static Calibration needs to be performed in a regulated service environment, using a calibration tool and calibration patterns, in combination with calibration software, Dynamic Calibration does not require any calibration tool and calibration patterns. It requires calibration software to initiate an auto learning process, and then a road test is needed in a straight line and clear lane marking environment.
LAUNCH products, sold by CAS in the North American Markets, are equipped with ADAS Solutions that fit every automotive business calibration requirement. In fact, CAS is currently offering free software updates upon the purchase of its LAUNCH X-431 PAD III (offer valid on Dynamic Calibration) for a limited time only.
Proper ADAS Calibration helps save lives, therefore, the cameras and sensors used by these systems must be precisely calibrated and adjusted. Incorrect calibration resulting from windscreen replacement or wheel alignment can cause the system to deliver incorrect results or even fail completely, resulting in a serious accident or even a fatality.
CAS Technical Support Team is highly qualified and capable of installing, operating, and providing training to shop owners upon their purchase of ADAS Calibration Solutions by LAUNCH.

]]>Up until six years ago, Launch Tech USA was selling, installing and maintaining LAUNCH hoists in the Canadian market. However, this has stopped due to the challenging nature of the local after-sales support market. Hoists are considered heavy equipment that require specialized expertise to run preemptive maintenance, trouble shooting and on-ground support at the time of need.
As a result of the ever evolving, 20 year old, business relationship between the leadership team at LAUNCH and the leadership team at Canada Auto Solutions (CAS), Launch Tech USA has recently reintroduced its hoists to the Canadian market through CAS. Culminating a solid journey of success over the past three years between the two companies, CAS has recently been chosen as the partner of choice for selling LAUNCH products in the Canadian market including sales, installation and maintenance of LAUNCH quality hoists. This authorization by Launch Tech USA is testimony to CAS’s competency in designing, operating and expanding its sustainable, technically viable and locally available technical support system.
Last month, the first shipment of ALI / ETL / Certified LAUNCH Lifts has been received by CAS, paving the way for a strong return for LAUNCH hoists to the Canadian market. Mr. Chady Abdo, Managing Director at CAS said “it gives us great pleasure to be chosen as the trusted partner to reintroduce LAUNCH hoists into the Canadian market. I take this opportunity to thank Launch Tech USA for their confidence and for the extended technical training sessions”.
Just days after receiving the first shipment, CAS has successfully sold, installed and tested numerous LAUNCH hoists in the local market.
“This is a great start of the year for us at CAS, we are thankful and we will continue our effort to become Canada’s market leader in selling LAUNCH products” added Mr. Abdo.
