LAUNCH X431 PRO3 V+ 5.0 Bidirectional Scan Tool, OEM Topology, Scan HD Trucks, ECU Coding, 41+ Services, All System Diagnose, 2-Year Free Update

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.

I specialise in providing training for body shops, and one of the essential tools is a diagnostic tool. This one is perfect for conducting all kinds of diagnostic scans. Prior to any vehicle repairs, insurers and work providers mandate pre-scans to detect and identify any underlying electrical issues. These scans are crucial as they ensure that potential faults are flagged early on, allowing them to be incorporated into the repair plan. This particular machine stands out because it not only performs thorough diagnostics but also generates a comprehensive report, including a detailed printed document. The report highlights all the areas that require attention, ensuring nothing is overlooked. This level of accuracy and documentation is invaluable in the repair process.

I have used a lot of Launch tools over the years and this series is a huge step forward with it's menu system and larger display making it easier to carry out diagnostic work whilst running the vehicle. The menu facilities are quicker to function than previous models and the whole system seems more intuitive than older models.I have already had interaction with the customer services who are keen to hear feedback, which is refreshing. I feel like Launch are a company who want to build the best product rather than sell the most units.At this point, I have only used the live data and fault clearing capabilities but I have found it to be a huge step up in user friendliness and processing speed. The graph update speed is significantly improved over older models, this makes it easier to 'spot' intermittent sensors without worrying about spikes in the graph being related to a data rate issue.This purchase has left me astounded as to why I haven't purchased one myself sooner and although this is an expensive purchase for me, it does in fact represent an incredible value for money purchase that arguably would be hard to beat in terms of price per functionality items when compared to other brand name tools like this.

After much deliberation I purchased this device as it appeared to do everything I needed it to do.Firstly, it will not lik to an iPhone to link to the internet.Next I purchased specifically to bleed the ABS on a Porsche 996 - it is not supported!Finally, I wanted to unlock some factory features on a Skoda Kodiaq. The specific item for unlocking is not in the menu.Very disappointed and a lot of money too!

It’s done every thing I’ve needed it to do so far.Love it!

Great Design.Comes in a good protective carry case and the Tablet itself has a very Durable tough surround so good for the workplace . It has a good battery life and I really like the big screen. The Bluetooth option gives you freedom to move around with a good range from the vehicle. The Topology Function helps to visualise faults in the sub groups for those modules.. The online Code search is useful. I think this is an all round easy to use Diagnostic tool with a Good selection of Service functions !

Easy to set up and register. Recognised all the family cars straight away. Found faults did not know we had, plus diagnosed the engine light problem on my sons Mercedes. Thumbs up.

The tool is advertised as having topology but the one they sent me does not have this feature and its the reason I bought it in the first place, very disapointed.
