  • Easy to use for the average DIYer, great battery life.
Set name: X431 PRO3 V+ Elite
I’ve been using the LAUNCH X431 PRO3 V+ Elite for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best diagnostic tools I’ve added to my setup. Right out of the box, it feels solid and well-built, and the tablet-style interface makes it super intuitive to navigate—even if you’re not a tech expert. What really stands out is the wide vehicle coverage. I’ve used it across multiple makes and models, and it consistently delivers accurate, fast diagnostics. The bi-directional control is a huge plus—it lets me run active tests and troubleshoot issues much more efficiently than basic scanners ever could. Features like live data streaming, coding, and special functions (like oil reset, EPB, SAS, etc.) work smoothly and save a ton of time. Battery life is solid. Whether you’re a professional mechanic or a serious DIYer, this tool strikes a great balance between capability and ease of use. ... show more

  • Easy to use
Set name: X431 PRO3 V+ Elite
The LAUNCH X431 PRO3 V+ ELITE is an outstanding diagnostic tool that has significantly improved the way I approach vehicle diagnostics. Its wide compatibility with various car brands and models is impressive, making it an essential tool for both professionals and enthusiasts. The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to navigate through the different functions and features, even for someone who isn’t a seasoned technician. The scan speed is fast, and the diagnostic accuracy is spot on, allowing for efficient and reliable fault detection. I particularly appreciate the bi-directional control feature, which lets me test various vehicle components directly from the device. The live data stream is incredibly detailed and helps in diagnosing issues with precision. Additionally, the build quality is solid and durable, and the large screen provides clear, easy-to-read information. The device connects easily to vehicles, and the extensive database of repair solutions and component tests is incredibly helpful. ... show more

  • Pretty good
Set name: X431PRO 5
I had a launch x431 v4.0 before and bought this one to upgrade. I love the launch scantools. It does 90% of the functions I need. I very rarely have to grab the snap on or autel scanner. For people stuck on the fence between a pro5 or smaller x431v4.0. the only real difference i see is the jbox for programming modules through manufacturers websites. It works well,I have tried it with gm,Chrysler,ford and a couple of others with no problem. I do wish they would send the link to download drivers for the j box because they are a pain to find online but they are out there. It's a great scan tool. The bigger screen is a huge plus.its very easy to use,the topology is a very nice feature that my old one did not have and the battery life is great. I use it all day and have to charge it only once a week. The only problem I have so far is the diagnostic app crashes sometimes when you use Google at the same time but I'm sure that will be fixed with an update. ... show more

  • Great scanner, worth the buy
Set name: X431PRO 5
Had a 2012 Chevy Suburban come in with a throttle-related code. Hooked up the PRO5, pulled the code, and used the bidirectional controls to command the throttle body open and closed while watching the live data - confirmed the actuator and TPS were both working fine, which pointed me straight to a wiring issue.

  • DO NOT BUY INSURANCE THROUGH ASURION
Set name: X431PRO 5
i WOULD GIVE A 1 STAR IF I WAS REVIEWING JUST FOR ASURION, BUT THAT IS NOT FAIR TO THE SELLER AND I love this Launch X431 PRO 5 – it’s an excellent diagnostic tool and worked perfectly for my vehicles. Unfortunately, when it failed and I filed a claim under my Asurion/Verizon Home Device Protect coverage, Asurion required me to mail in the unit and then valued it at only about $63 after roughly one year of use, even though tools like this still sell in the $1,100–$1,500 range. Because of that huge depreciation and the claim fee I had to pay, I ended up without my scanner and with far less than it would cost to replace it. The scanner itself is great, but buyer beware of extended insurance through Asurion – in my experience, they did not come close to covering the real cost of this device. ... show more

  • The "Launch Store" is NOT the manufacturer
Set name: X431PRO 5
Be careful. Rufus reports support for various makes and models, but when I contacted the seller to ask why the Maserati make wasn't linking I was told, "We are sorry the scanner can only do programming on Benz and BMW, and it is not compatible with the car, this is not a quality issue. All Launch scanners sold on Amazon belong to the Online Product category. All our products are imported from the LAUNCH TECH headquarters in China, and all our technical support and warranty services are provided by the Launch R&D department. We are competitors and sell different models, so LAUNCH TECH USA won't offer support to the users who bought scanners from Amazon." I gave 2 stars because it did work well on both my BMW and Mercedes. I knocked of 3 stars because the product was misrepresented, and the seller is misleading, calling themselves the "Launch Store," which implies you're buying directly from the manufacturer when you're not. ... show more
