Going though most popular diagnostic options of Launch #Creader Elite scanner in #Audi Q3, Audi A4, Audi Coupe, VW Golf MK7, and Fiat Grande Punto. I checked out how this #scanner handles such things as full diagnostic scan for faults, reading and clearing diagnostic trouble codes, adaptation value change, live data view and graph drawing, output tests of various vehicle components. Tested it agains more modern cars (2012 Audi Q3) as well as little bit older ones (2002 Audi A4 B6 and Audi Coupe with 1.8T engine swap). Also in unsupported vehicles like 2015 Volkswagen Golf MK7 and 2009 Fiat Punto.
I also went through some options like system upgrade, builtin apps update, diagnostic report sharing,

ℹ I'm happy to say that this device work very well. Diagnostic procedures are simple enough, Launch does not lockout other VAG vehicles from the Audi app (I've successfully used the Audi extension with VW Golf MK7 which is made on MQB platform just like Audi A3 8V). When it comes to functionality, you can compare it with VCDS or OBDeleven. It connects with all modules in the vehicle and shows you all the needed options: long coding, adaptation, DTC read and clear, basic settings, output tests, live data. Maybe the user interface is not as friendly, but all the necessary functions are there. The device also supports generic OBD2 protocol which I tested with 2009 Fiat Punto.

Pros
Supports full system scans, reading and clearing trouble codes, long coding, adaptations, live data, output testes and other VAGspecific procedures.
Includes guided functions with stepbystep procedures for most common jobs (injector learning, DPF regeneration, throttle body adaptation, headlights basic settings, EPB release).
Supports Audi cars as well as VW vehicles (tested on 2015 Golf MK7).
Builtin WiFi connection allows to download paid extensions, directly update the device, send diagnostic reports, lookup DTCs online, and even watch YouTube tutorials. All this directly on the device.
microSD card port for memory extension.
Builtin battery makes sure that the device will stay on when you need to cycle the ignition or crank the engine. Thanks to that Launch scanner will not reboot on voltage drops.
All the time you can see the cars voltage on the status bar, to make sure that the cars battery will not go flat during long diagnostic procedures.
Over all it's a high quality device bright display, high resolution, responsive system, high FPS, compact size, low weight.

Cons
No search field in live data selection list you need to browse the list manually.
Low volume of the builtin speaker.
Can't adjust font size would love to have smaller one to fit more data and complete adaptation channel name on the display.
