This software utility is downloaded from the “Download Center” accessible after logging
into www.X431.com. When the ‘Save As’ dialog box opens, select ‘Open’ and follow the
on-screen instructions to install. After successful installation, you will notice a new icon on
your desktop called X431 Update.
Comprehensive, in-depth instructions detailing this and the entire update process are
available for download in the ‘Getting Started Guide’ located at http://x431usa.com/down-
loads.htm.
Do I need to use the X431 Software update utility?
Yes. If you attempt to simply copy the software onto the CF card, you will render the card
unusable, and will have to format it. The X431 Software utility has integrated copy-protec-
tion which “authenticates” your updates and puts them in the proper place on the CF card
for use with the scan tool.
Comprehensive instructions detailing this and the entire update process are available for
download in the ‘Getting Started Guide’ located at http://x431usa.com/downloads.htm.
There are many ‘system’ downloads on the download page. Which do I need to
download?
Most users only need to download X431 Update Tools, X431 Display Program, and X431
System Data. If you have PC-Link hardware, you may also need to download X431 PC-
Link Display.
Comprehensive instructions detailing this and the entire update process are available for
download in the ‘Getting Started Guide’ located at http://x431usa.com/downloads.htm.
Can I download more than one update at a time?
You may download as many files at a time as you wish, however most Internet browsers
only allow for a maximum of two downloads at a time.
What folder do I save the updates to as I download them?
The very first update you should download is the X431 Update Tools update. You must
select ‘Open’ when the ‘Save As’ dialog box appears after clicking the download link. You
will then follow the on-screen instruction to install this program. This is the X431 Update
software which is the “main” update you will download.
All subsequent downloads should be saved when the ‘Save As’ dialog box opens after
clicking the download link. The first time you select ‘save’, it will ask you where to save it.
You must create a new folder in your C:\ drive called X431 Downloads. You will be saving
all your updates into this folder.

How do I create a new folder called ‘X431 Downloads’ in my C:\ drive?

double-clicking it. When the window open, right-click on any blank area in the window
