X431 PRO3 (V+) V5.0 Scanner, 2026 Upgrade All-in-One Bidirectional Scan Tool, Topology Map, Scan HD Trucks, DBSCar VII VCI, 55+ Services&Online Coding, All System,CANFD&DOIP, 2-Year Free Update

This thing is pretty cool, and instantly replaces my old scanner. It’s packaged in a durable case (I already dropped it once), and the primary OBDII adapter is housed within the scanner case, it’s always with it. There are a ton of different adapters for different manufacturer specific functions, and it’s got an adapter to OBDI as well. It runs on the Android OS, so when you get it, hit the settings button to connect to wifi, then once you’re connected, you login with the serial number and a verification code which get you into x431 app. Once you’re in and connected, login and run software update. Mine updated a bunch, and initially failed on some, but exiting the app after a run of software update allowed me to update some more ; it took about 3 runs to get them all, and then I was updated for all modules and supported makes and models (which there are a lot). Once you’re updated you can use the scanner, but you’ll need wifi to use some of the features such as the intelligent diagnose, which I generally have, but I was able to connect the hotspot on my phone while I was on the road. I often use the local diagnostic which doesn’t require an internet connection anyway. The VIN and general vehicle information populated quickly, after which you have the option to run diagnostics. I have a computer, but I find myself sitting in the vehicle and using the code lookup feature which searches the internet for posts on the code. I’ve been using it on popular brands like BMW and Toyota, but there’s a guy who still drives a Daewoo Nubira (somehow), and I want to see what it can read off of that. There’s a diagnostic history feature, so whenever I re-scan a vehicle, I can quickly select the vehicle from the list, but mainly I use it as reference to previous jobs I worked on. My previous scan-tool couldn’t reset service intervals, so I was left to using the unique stalk commands different manufacturers have, so needless to say, the resets have made things a lot easier for me in that regard. I would recommend everyone read the manual from start to finish to familiarize yourself with exactly how everything works. My friend has a snap-on, and it does the same stuff (so far at least), but he paid way more. You need to pay for updates once your initial subscription ends, but that’s par for the course with all these scanners. Overall, a good bang for the buck, considering all it can do.

Great item to have for every Mechanic. Can’t imagine what I did before I had this.

I've used launch equipment to diagnose multiple cars and trucks. It has performed very well. Easy to navigate and lots of options for indepth diagnostics. I have multiple added launch equipment and every device works very well! Highly recommend it for any automotive shop, Heavy Truck shop and heavy equipment shop with the add on of the hd truck scanner. As I am a heavy equipment mechanic and have used other diagnostic tools this device is just as good.

I bought this Launch X431 V+ a couple of years ago and have used it many times since then to diagnose problems with my own cars and those of family members. I'm strictly DIY and fix my own cars to save money. Most recently I have gotten great value out of it for a diagnosis and for checking a used car that I was considering purchasing. My 2005 Camry had a check engine light which was from an evap code related to a vent valve circuit high. By using the bidirectional controls, I was able to determine that all of the evap valves would at least click and that the system would hold pressure. That means that the problem was not a full failure of any component and was probably a small leak. Starting with the easiest components to check (and using some YT videos and a vacuum pump/gauge) it turned out to be the purge valve under the hood that was not completely closing and hence unable to hold pressure. Replacing the part was a good fix. The code reading and element activation helped make this a quick and convenient diagnosis so that I was able to complete the repair before our mandated annual inspection. This meant that I could do it myself and save at least several hundred $. (Besides saving on parts and labor, shops tend to replace more than they need too; there is a hefty incentive for them to do something like require replacing the hard-to-get-to cannister.) I've used the tool several other times to help diagnose various issues on my cars and those of family and friends. I also recently did a health check when I was test driving a used Lexus. The car had no check-engine lights and drove fine, but when scanned, it had 4 history codes and 4 current codes, some of which were related to ABS and the TPMS system so they were not emissions-related and severe enough to set the CEL. These things can still be expensive to fix and could prevent passing the mechanical inspection in my state. Given the market today, I knew I wasn't going to be able to negotiate the price down, so I passed on the car and saved myself potentially significant costs and headaches. Note that you can read codes with a cheaper code-reader, but with this thing you save and email yourself a full report to study later when sitting at the computer. Update [10/2022]. I recently got a check engine light in my 2014 F150 with a code for a circuit problem on the downstream oxygen sensor. Using the scan tool, I could see that there was no signal at all from the sensor (rather than some sort of bad signal). The most likely cause is a wiring problem and this was determined after about 5 minutes while sitting in the drivers seat. A visual inspection found rodent-chewed wires leading to the sensor. A bit of soldering fixed the problem and removed the CEL. Another reason for a DIY person to get one of these is that it is a great educational tool. You can learn a bunch by just looking at the data stream (and saving "known good" data) and watching how the vehicle operates when everything is working. The device itself is rugged and feels good in the hand. I've had no hardware problems. I wish it had a pull-out stand (e.g. for resting on the steering wheel), but I've never really had a problem using it as it is. I have two little quibbles so far: First, the software updates are, IMO, a little expensive for DIY users. It would be nice if there were subscription options that catered more to these users (maybe a charge for a single update or updates for only 5 cars or something like that). Please note that Launch, as part of a limited offer, provided a couple of years of upgrade in return for a positive review; but that has not affected what I've said here. Second, the software for the automatic evap test for the Camry mentioned above does not work right and I've sent messages to the company twice through the x431 software and have received no responses and this part of the software still does not work. Overall, I love this tool and don't think I'll ever be without a scan tool again.

Leistungsfähiges Multimarken-OBD2-Testgerät mit allen für Service und Reparatur üblichen Diagnose-, Service- und Codierungsmöglichkeiten. Zuverlässiger Betrieb, ergonomisches Design, gute Bildschirmqualität. Sehr gute Gesamtleistung, empfehlenswert!

Had a little difficulty finding updated codes, but finally succeeded. Works great , easy to use and reading the small screen was easy. Goes thru a number of diagnoses, provides error codes and then interprets error codes. Sometimes just identifies circuit and at other times specific relays, switches, connectors. Good value for my money!

The Launch X431 V+ PRO 4.0 covers most of the modules you will find in a variety of modern cars. Even as a novice i was able to complete a couple of jobs on my UK Ford Mondeo and experiment with the bi-directional functions to work windows and lock doors etc - safe options while i am learning. The 4 stars for ease of use is purely because of the many capabilities that take a little time to find; but they are there. Normal scanning and code clearing is pretty straight forward. Battery life is good and having the bluetooth adaptor stored in the main tablet is very handy. The main tablet is pretty robust and seems as though it will take the inevitable knocks. A variety of adaptors is supplied, so it will connect to most cars you might encounter especially here in the UK. The only small niggle i have is that the WiFi didn't pick my router up as well as my phone or laptop does. I have solved that with a repeater in my front porch. Very pleased with a comprehensive tool at a good price for the feature set.

Strumento ottimo, e' molto veloce nelle vetture nuove, un po' più lento nell'analisi di vetture di circa 15/20 anni fa. Costruito bene, software chiaro, tablet veloce nell'aprire le varie app che e' possibile installare a corredo per chi ci lavora come me. Dotazione cavi completa, unico neo nel mio caso mancava l'azzeratore TPMS nella scatola ... Ma la ditta molto seria mi ha indicato delle soluzioni sia economiche che per procurarmi il pezzo mancante per voler veramente risolvere al disguido. Sì sono scusati e ho trovato la soluzione ideale in accordo con loro. Amazon veloce come sempre software e prodotto originale. Richiede una rete wifi per alcune funzioni. Per come la vedo io per un privato e' oltre anni luce le aspettative (forse piu' adatto i modelli inferiori che sono meno dispersivi per le funzioni in meno che hanno), per un officina e' ideale da aggiungere ad altri strumenti piu' vecchi proprio per la sua efficacia nei nuovi modelli.

El equipo está muy práctico, casi de bolsillo, muy fácil de usar teniendo en cuenta que es básico.me pareció bastante accesible en manejo y precio.
