Launch UK releases next-generation diagnostic tool

Launch UK has launched the X431 PRO 3S diagnostic tool. Offering a full fault system diagnosis for a comprehensive list of American, Asian and European vehicle manufacturers, Launch says it is “one of the most reliable, all-encompassing diagnostic tools available.”

New for 2016, the PRO 3S is based on the Android 5 operating system. Launch claims the tool provides greater speed, reliability and ease of use over other diagnostic tools. Available as a 10.1-inch LCD tablet, the multi-touch tool can read and clear DTCs, read a car’s data stream and perform actuation tests at lightning-fast speeds.

The X431 PRO 3S has been designed to connect vehicles and workshops with wireless and Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to browse the internet and access and share instant maintenance information. The product has 16GB of on-board storage, while also supporting a 64GB Micro SD external memory card. A built-in social network service enables users to connect to a community for help with diagnosis, while remote, real-time diagnosis is possible with the Golo option. Users also have access to a car database and repair tips, allowing for a faster and more efficient performance. Other features include photo, video and multimedia functions and the ability to access live data when in operation. Module coding, resets, re-learns and bi-directional capabilities are also possible.

The tool is supplied in a protective rubber sleeve with all relevant connectors and adaptors.

Dave Richards, Launch UK managing director, said: “We are excited to launch the X431 PRO 3S as it has enabled us to bring an even greater, in-depth, multi-functional diagnostic tool to the UK market. We also offer a one year software update and two year warranty, and for a limited time, a Golo Carcare and Easy Diag is also included in the price.”
