Lowering, fan speed change and more with a scanner?

I was able to lower my car and a few other things with a scanner which was a launch x431 scanner tool.

Anyone else happen to use one of these before for more than just code scanning?

With all adaptors needed for every make and model including software, price comparison means little.
