Launch X431 PRO 5 Scan Tool: 2026 J2534 Tool, ECU Online Coding, Topology Mapping, Upgraded of X431 V+, Bi-Directional Diagnostic Scanner, with SmartLink C V2.0, CANFD & DOIP, 2 Years Update

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.

Best diagnostic tablet for the money. Easy to use and straight forward. Tons of features haven’t been able to even go through everything yet. Haven’t came across a car it’s not compatible with. Connecting and scanning is fast.

The scanner is a great tool. You can do a lot of things, upgrading Honda ecus and others modules (no reprogramaing) It's an excellent scanner and I have solved a lot of problems with this Pro5. I have the j2534 issue, I couldn't use it as passthrough at the first time but I had to figured out and now it's working with an old software version over windows 11. I opened a case and they didn't give me any feedback, poor launch customer support. Now I also got the immo plus and I'm testing it.

X431 pro5 is incredibly easy to useThe interface is intuitive and user-friendlyso even if you're not tech-savvy, you can quickly navigate through the different features and functions.Plus,the tool comes with an extensive library of diagnostic information that covers a vast range of vehicles, so you can be confident that you'llbe able to diagnose and fix any issues that come your way. Another great feature of the Launch X431 Pro5 is its speed.It can perform quick and accurate diagnostic tests on your vehicle, saving you time and money in the long run.Plusthe tool is wireless, which means you can use it anywhere in your workshop without having to worry about cords getting in the way.

Very easy to use and seems to work for most vehicles that we repair

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.

Bought this wanting to use the j2534 to program modules. Launch does not support this model in America. I contacted over seas support to find out that they do not have a j2534 software yet for North America. Don’t waste the extra money to get this because if j2534. They have other great models like the x431 pro v4 which does pretty much everything. They have a very weird way to market their scan tools. Multiple scan tools that are pretty much the same but they charge different prices.

Nice scanner! I love it
