Resetting Service Reminder - Launch X-431R
#46
There are offers on eBay from China and I just bought one. Here is the link:

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.

After finding the English language option and getting the firmware to update, it has worked to reset the oil service reminder lights not only for 991 but also in my Macan and Cayman GTS. It is not that intuitive to figure out but it does work and the price is hard to beat.

@2001f4s - definitely interested to see how you make out with the Creader product.
As @wanlong found, the seller says the X431 has been discontinued.
In the mean time, I guess I'll have to find a generous dealer or a local Durametric.

I made an offer on this product:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/152163265079...S:1123&vxp=mtr
it arrived last night. Software update was pretty straightforward. It supports a pile of manufacturers.
It walked me through a menu where I got to select which of the 3 maintenance minders I wanted reset. I selected #3 (the oil change) and it worked perfectly.
If anyone wants photos of the various screens as you go through the process, I'd be happy to hook it up again and post them.
I made an offer on the eBay listing and ended up getting $10 off BIN price.

That is hilarious! First time I used mine it didn't do a dam thing. 10 trys later it reset the service reminder only to have it come back one day later. Fiddled with it again and if finally gave in. Not the sharpest tool in the box for sure. Requires multipale atemps. Good news is that it reset my 2007 MB service reminder as well..

I too was happy to just have the damn thing working. Now I have 3 other units that I can use to level my table.

Looking for the Launch X-431 R online (or equivalent) but eBay looks out of stock. Has anyone found one for sale recently? Oil change in my C4S took 30 minutes, but finding this is taking much longer!

What he said, anyone buy anything recently that works? Most of the links in this thread are no good anymore.
