Do you find that when you attempt to diagnose a car, the Bluetooth connection to the scanner is very slow and that all operations are quite sluggish? This is a fairly frequent issue, since every tool, particularly the OBD Diagnostic tool, need regular updates and maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll tell you how to solve it right away, and I\u2019ll also offer you some background information about the issue.<\/p>\n<p>The first frequent reason of this issue is that the local storage on your LAUNCH X431 Tab is full, and the second is that the DBSCAR Connector Software is Outdated.<br \/>\nLaunch X431 Storage is Full<\/p>\n<p>If your local storage on your tablet is full, you will experience a problem with the performance of Launch x431. Just like another OBD scanner, you need to free some of your local storage to make your Launch X431 app perform faster. Please refer to my guide here for information on how to resolve the LAUNCH X431 storage full. CLICK HERE .<\/p>\n<p>You can also free some storage on your Launch X431 by deleting some unused car brands or vehicles that are not available in your country. Don\u2019t worry, if you need that vehicle, you can download it again on your scanner.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t know how to delete some of the unused cars on your scanner, Please follow my tutorial below.<br \/>\nDeleting Vehicle on Launch X431:<\/p>\n<p>* Select the vehicle that you want to delete.
