I've been getting familiar with the X431 Pad II AE that my shop provides, and it definitely has it's ups and downs. :silly:

Love the coverage and features. Does tons of stuff that Snap-On and Autel won't, which can be a real life saver in some situations. For example, I was replacing an HVAC module in a F-150 last month. New module requires a PMI procedure. Autel wouldn't do it, but the Launch said, "No problem!" :cheer: Saved us a programming fee and a lot of time.

Hate the way data is displayed, and the graphing. Drives me insane. :angry: :silly: The interface is also less than intuitive, and takes some getting used to.

Launch seem to cover more vehicle than anybody else, also in my experience they connect first time to difficult vehicles

My shop has a verus and big daddy autel, but I always go for my launch scan pad. I like that it's smaller and has the coverage. Like Tyler said, the graphing is a joke. Autoscaling is terrible. Snap on has the best graphing in my opinion but the verus takes freaking forever to boot up.

I from Kingbolen,we sell Launch scan tool.

Many guys ask this question
"what's the difference between X431 V and V+ ? "

Screen size:
V 8inch V+ 10inch

Exterior & Function : Same
That's no difference if you do light cars diagnose.

So,what is the difference ?
Think about the V+ & HD module if you do Heavy truck diagnose.

Here is the post:

1. LAUNCH X431 V+ supports Guiding Functions for VW,AUDI,SKODA,SEAT, while X431 V dose not support.

2. LAUNCH X431 V+ is compatible with LAUNCH X431 heavy duty modules (need to be purchased separately) and becomes a diesel-integrated diagnostic device with more powerful functions. LAUNCH X431 V Pro is not compatible with heavy-duty module. When you need to diagnose heavy-duty trucks, you need to purchase the heavy-duty full system diagnostic tool for $1,399 if you have a V. However, if you have V+, you only needs to purchase the heavy-duty module for $899, which is more economical and convenient.

3. The screen size of LAUNCH X431 V+ (10.1 inches) is larger than V(8 inches). One screen can display 15 data stream (Graphic and textual), three more than V, which is easy to navigate.

4. You can use LAUNCH X431 V+ longer and avoid frequent charging, because its battery life is 1.49 times that of V.

5.LAUNCH X431 V+ is based on Andoird 9.0 , with 8-core 1,8GHz CPU, while LAUNCH X431 V is based on Andoird 7.0 with 4-core 1,4GHz CPU. see less

Besides, the LAUNCH X431 V+ is equipped with Lenovo-tablet while X431 V PRO uses no-famous-brand tablet. So in terms of hardware, the quality of LAUNCH X431 V+ is better, and it can run faster. You can get better user experience and after-sales service with LAUNCH X431 V+.
