Read the info carefully we can see we’d better use usb communication mode because an unstable signal could cause ecu damage.

ECU may be damaged due to erratic reading and writing data of Bluetooth or WiFi on bench mode. Do use USB to connect the tablet and connector.

Will Lauch X-PROG3 Work with Diagzone, Xdiag or Prodiag?

Does Launch X431 X-prog3 work with xdiag, diagzone or prodiag activations?  Diagzone compatible xprog3? Is it working with prodiag? Will it work with xdiag? These are frequently asked questions of   Launch X-PROG3   (also called GIII) programmers. X-prog3 is compatible with Multiple X-431 Series   X-431 V ,  X-431 V+ ,   X431 Pro5 ,  X431 ProS ,   X431 Pro3s+ ,  X-431 PAD V ,  X-431 PAD VII , X-DIAG Pro3 diagnostic tablets. This programmer works not only for programming keys, but for working with ECU and gearbox. But when comes to key programming you need to know what you doing there is not too much info in the Diagzone/Prodiag software.   What worked and failed? Here are user reviews. *You are at your risk. We don’t provide technical support to 3rd party software.   Prodiag: Yes It works with prodiag. Prodiag provides usb connection with virtual comport. It works fine to read ECU and gearbox clone. For example, VAG DQ200 gearb...

Launch X431 V+ or PIWIS-III for Porsche Diagnosis?

I have the Launch X431 V+ Pros Mini which I purchased new from obdii365 for $1079. I also have a PIWIS III clone V38.90 that i purchased from another website for $1429. I purchased the Launch X431 V+ with the intent of using it to flash a used control module for my car. When I discovered that the Launch X431 V+ could not do that I purchased a PIWIS III clone with the intention of selling the Launch X431 V+ but I have not got around to selling it yet because it is so much easier to use then the PIWIS III.Here is what I have done so far with each one. Launch X431 V+ : Cleared all the fault codes stored in the car. Activated the Aux setting in PCM (PCM/CDR) I had to add an aux cable to the PCM to make use of this one. Changed the number of flashes for one touch turn signal from 3 to 5 (Front-end Electronics) Activated Comfort entry windows up/down via keyfob (Front-end Electronics) Changed the speed when the doors auto lock, 3 mph to 20 mph (Front-end electronics) Changed the speed when...
