Review on LAUNCH X431 PRO3S+: Upgraded Ver. of X431 V PRO, Bi-Directional Scan Tool with OE-Level Full System Diagnostic Scanner, Key Programming, ECU Coding, AutoAuth for FCA SGW - 2 Years Free Update by Edward Mcnamara

I have used Launch X431 V Pro extensively over the past two years. It has worked flawlessly on all vehicle makes and models. I mainly work for BMW, which has very sophisticated electronics. The launch software has never let me down, even when working with BMW diesel vehicles. In the last two years I have also had excellent support from the supplier Ucar Tech, both through their customer Facebook group and through face-to-face meetings. a prop. When I was ready to upgrade my hardware I was interested in supporting Launch and Ucar Tech. With the help of Ucar Tech I decided to buy the new Launch X431 PRO3S+ Version 2.0 2021. Arrived in 2 days. The hardware was a huge improvement over my previous X431 V Pro. I would say when the PRO3S+ is plugged in and running a diagnostic it is twice as fast as my previous model. The new launch is based on the Lenovo TAB M10 TB-X605FC and features a 10-inch touchscreen, Android 9 and a 1.8GHz octa-core processor for speed, visibility and ease of use. The PRO3S+ includes HAPTIC feedback, which is a great feature for working with an instrument that has tactile positive feedback. The upgrade from the V Pro also adds 5GHz WiFi speeds - the upgrade took easily ½ to ⅓ the time of the previous model. The 7000 mAh battery easily lasts the whole day in the garage despite the increased screen size and computing speed. The PRO3S+ offers many new features (feature range is impressive for a third party product that works with native brands). . I have used bi-directional functions, brake service, oil service and a few others. It's just that at this price point it really becomes the cheapest tool in the toolbox when I consider its usefulness versus cost. I have no doubt that the upgrade was worth it. For those who use their launcher with any frequency, this is not a problem. As for potential new Launch users, I can say that a few years ago some professional mechanic friends recommended me to consider Launch as a diagnostic tool for several car models. I'm glad I took her advice!
