- X431 PRO3 V+ Elite, 2026 Bidirectional Scan Tool with J2534 Protocol

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.

Excellent diagnostic tool, I do own some Autel and SnapOn scanner and the X431 is working as good or even better in some programing functions than the ones mention before, easy to use and pretty simple to understand even for a beginner it will be a great tool. I'm pretty happy with the X431 and will recommended to anyone DIY or professional it will be a great help diagnosing most car problems.

Having used this scan tool for a week at my work I can say it preforms very well. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. It has several functions that I use nearly every day, such as putting rear brakes in maintenance mode. I purchased this scanner so that I could have my own since the shared one in the shop is constantly in use and for my own DIY projects . So far it has served me well.

It dose program keys but for some cars you need to go to the dealer and get the key code to program the keys. It would be great if it could pull the key code from the vin and program the keys. Great tool. I dose every thing that it said it would do

I purchased this tool because I want to be able to fix just about any issue my vehicle could have without going to a shop. I landed on this Launch unit because of the J2534 functionality at a reasonable price. I like the way it scans all modules and lays out a "map" of them. So far it has worked on all of my vehicles and a few friends vehicles. The hard case holds the tablet and accessories well. I also purchased a USB borescope for it and it works awesome. Overall I would definitely recommend this for the pro or DIYer that wants more functionality.

had to send it back to China for 1 month it was not even one year old went to use it today same problem it would not turn on. They did contact me after the poor review and were concerned with the issues. I depend on this tool every day so i had to sublet the jobs and did loose think it shood have been replaced with a new item it was not even one year old. I bought an Autel MS906Pro it was not much more and i Keep the Launch for back up.

I have used Launch scanners for years, they are very reliable. I love the fact that you can get into every car and check for codes and do programing if needed, very user friendly. I had a little trouble with the last one I bought, but spoke to the place I bought it from and they took care of me fast. they gave me a brand new unit. Thank you so much I will buy again when I need another scanner or other tool. last part of this review was up dated 8/1/23. i had a unit that stopped working( a first because they are very reliable) and they took care of it right away, great product and great support..

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.

so far it's doing everything it was supposed to.still have some more testing to do.

Excellent package at an excellent price and 2 years updates included in price. Absolute gem, gives other higher cost diagnostics a goal to reach, I've used several and own 2 others but this does everything I've asked of it so far and is my main go too tool. Highly recommended even for diy and professional garages
