458 Launch/Leonardo/Galileo experts: proxi (proxy) alignment, key fob/transponder

I've done a fair amount of searching but there seems to be a whole lot of theorhetical and very little practical knowledge on these tools and topics.

I have 3 pressing issues on my month new to me 458:

Info is failing.
Need to cut/pair a key.
Want to retrofit cruise control.

I am aware that at least 2 & 3, and possibly 1, require proxi file modification on the body computer, and proxi alignment after the fact. Like many, my local dealer claims Ferrari North America will not allow them to install parts not purchased from FNA. Even if I install my own parts and prove they are from FNA, they want $3500 for a proxi file.

So, I find myself trying to make myself self sufficient for these and future issues. I understand that the Launch X431 is essentially a clone of Leonardo/Galileo, but they stopped updating it around the 458 (which obviously meets my needs). Is it capable of doing proxi editing/alignment, and key pairing (both the remote buttons and the immobilizer transponder)?

Related, there are loads of google results for tools that will do Proxi Alignment for other FCA brands like Fiat and Chrysler. Are none of these capable of doing the same for the 458? Ferrari wasn't spun out of FCA until 2016, so I would think that some of these corporate cousin tools should be interoperable?

If not, is acquiring a Galileo (which I understand to be the DIY/Home version of Leonardo?) for a single model line (or finding an indy with one/convincing them to order one) my only path forward? I've heard there are cheaper single-model license versions available in the 3-4k range, but I'm only seeing 6-7k for all of Ferrari? Does anyone offer "remote coding" as a possibility for some of these simple tasks?

 

Appreciate the input! Which model did you go with?

The Launch stuff is all so cryptic with the dozens of versions and price points, and then you add in the Mini which is either a bootleg or grey market being sold here without authorization. To hear that programming keys is yet another confusing solution makes total sense haha.

I too have seen that they mention retrofitting and coding as features, but it’s not clear if it actually does that for a specific model. And even if they claim it does, that it actually is successful. That’s what I’m hoping to hear first hand experiences of on this thread.

 

Thanks! The most pressing is adding the cruise control, which I understand to be modifying the body computer and then running a proxi alignment.
