Tried it without the update first. Didnt work. If I take off the reading glasses the Chinese looks like English. Lol. Used your detailed instructions and all went well after the update.

Cannot get mine to update now. Connects to the computer, but update keeps failing. Hoping eBay seller can shed some light

Ask the seller for the update link.

Other than reset, what else this thing can do? Can it query the DME for over rev?

It resets all service reminders. Doesn't do anything else.

Excellent seller, they shipped quick for being from China. Only 3 business days to Kansas City. Very responsive too.

Once received, I downloaded the software to update the device here:

When you first use the device, you may need to change the language to English. I select option 4, then kept clicking until I saw the word English.

The device works really well. Instruction can be found by googling "Launch Cresetter II." FYI, OBD port can be found behind the cover next to the foot rest pedal. Let me know if you have any questions. When connected, your car should be in the off position. Once connected and the device powers up, switch the ignition on (but engine off).

Cheers to a cheap alternative to Durametric.

I bought the X431-R but I dont see it on the list of devices on the link you posted

http://www.dbscar.com/pad/landingPag...etterII.action

Is the Cresetter II and the X431-R the same?

I just performed the initial setup and software update on mine this past weekend. I just clicked on the link you show and when when it scrolled to the X431-R, I clicked the update link and downloaded the software. Its just under 40 mb and worked fine. My biggest problem was setting it to English. I clicked on option 4 and I had to click forever before English showed up. If you want, send me a pm with your email address and I will email the file to you.

I should totally buy 100 of these, update the firmware, and change the language to English. Sell it for $99 shipped.

Anyone know another source? The original link appears to be out of units.

There are offers on eBay from China and I just bought one. Here is the link:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-LAUNCH-X...181198&vxp=mtr

The original one that I purchased would not update the firmware. The US Seller did take it back and I am awaiting a refund. He told me that they opted to no longer sell this option. Once received, I will let you know how I make out.

Thanks. It is not clear if that version will reset the maintenance minder. Did I miss something in the description?

When I bought mine from Diag-Master their Ebay listing said they had zero available.
I contacted them and they sold me one on 6-27. I received it on 6-30.
