In sum:

Pro5 tablet has the same configuration. The biggest difference is the VCI. The new X431 Pro5 comes with Smartlink C 2.0 passthru while the old comes with Smartbox 3.0 VCI.

They all supports BMW/Benz online programming and J2534 OEM programming. The Smartlink 2.0 supports dual diagnosis mode: local diagnosis and super remote diagnosis.

As for local diagnosis, they are the same.



*Super remote diagnosis requires license from Launch X431. The license will be available on obdii365.com in May or June 2024.
