Same for me. I got it to go into vehicle settings a couple times but usually it just goes into the read codes mode and there's no clear or simple way to navigate out of it. Doesn't help that it's pretty damn slow.

I just got the Launch Creader Elite 2.0 for my 2011 LX570.
I bought it to force the A/C actuator initialization. Only my driver's A/C vents blow cold air, and it's miserable to drive right now. Anyone been able to do this or successfully? It seemed like I could manually move the servos, but I was never able to get cold air coming out of the other vents. Seems like it connects and does what it should. I changed some settings successfully.
I think the culprit is error B1449 Air Outlet Damper Control Servo Motor Circuit (Rear). I'd like to be able to flash reprogram the A/C amplifier module, but I couldn't figure out if the Launch.
Any ideas? Thanks for getting this thread going...very helpful.

Ok so bought this and now about to update the software.
Is it me or when the unit sleeps that the download process is paused and you have to reload again?
Weird.
under what menu is the TPMS reset? I think I found it but it’s asking for a transmitter ID code. Please don’t tell me the code is on the TPMS.

I've found I need to navigate to generic OBD2 reader then back to the VIN reader (Toyota/Lexus specific) in order to get it to provide the other menus.
I will try that. Thanks.
Hi guys, what am I doing wrong?
If I need to reset TPMS sensors, how does this unit detect each sensor code? Is this capability possible?
I took our LX to a tire center to get to acquire the ID codes (TPMS sensors are already installed).
I entered the ID codes for all 5 tires and registration failed.
Ugh. I am this close to throwing this against the wall because the menus absolutely suck.
