Professional Full-System Diagnostic & ECU Programming Tool

The LAUNCH X431 PRO5 SmartLink 2.0 is a professional-level diagnostic platform designed for garages, automotive technicians and workshops that need advanced vehicle diagnostics, bi-directional testing, ECU coding and programming capabilities in one system.

The latest PRO5 configuration features the SmartLink 2.0 VCI, supporting J2534 Pass-Thru, CAN FD and DoIP communication. It also supports DC 9–36V heavy-duty vehicle communication, allowing the VCI to be used with compatible commercial vehicles when the appropriate truck software and adapters are purchased separately.

Special offer: BST360 Bluetooth Battery Tester included free with this package.

Key Features

Full-System OE-Level Diagnostics

The X431 PRO5 provides access to multiple vehicle control modules and systems rather than being limited to basic engine diagnostics.

Depending on vehicle make, model, year and software coverage, functions can include:

• Read and clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)
• Live data and parameter monitoring
• Full-system vehicle scanning
• ECU identification
• Actuator / bi-directional testing
• ECU coding and adaptations
• Component matching and initialisation
• AutoVIN vehicle identification
• Diagnostic reports
• Advanced system diagnostics

SmartLink 2.0 – Advanced VCI

The supplied SmartLink 2.0 VCI is one of the main advantages of the latest PRO5.

It supports:

• J2534 Pass-Thru
• CAN FD
• DoIP
• Wireless and wired diagnostic communication
• SmartLink remote diagnostic capability
• DC 9–36V communication for compatible heavy-duty vehicles

The SmartLink interface can therefore be used not only for normal vehicle diagnostics but also as a communication interface for compatible OEM diagnostic and programming software.

Important: OEM programming normally requires the relevant manufacturer’s diagnostic software, account and/or subscription. Heavy-duty truck software and required non-standard adapters are not included with this package.

J2534 ECU Programming & Online Programming

The PRO5 can function as a J2534 Pass-Thru interface, allowing compatible OEM software to communicate with the vehicle ECU.

This can be used, where supported, for operations such as:

• ECU software programming
• ECU replacement programming
• Updating ECU firmware
• Programming replacement modules
• Restoring ECU data
• Supported module reprogramming

J2534 compatibility covers a range of manufacturers, but actual programming availability depends on the vehicle, ECU and manufacturer’s software/service system.

The PRO5 also provides manufacturer-specific online programming/coding functions where supported, including supported BMW and Mercedes-Benz applications.

ECU Coding & Advanced Adaptations

The PRO5 provides advanced coding and adaptation functions for supported vehicles.

Depending on the vehicle, these can include:

• ECU coding
• Module replacement and matching
• Component initialisation
• Adaptations
• Vehicle configuration
• Supported online coding
• Activation of supported vehicle functions

Function availability varies by vehicle make, model, year, ECU and software coverage.

Topology Mapping

With supported software versions, the X431 PRO5 provides Topology Mapping, giving technicians a visual representation of the vehicle’s electronic control modules and their communication status.

This makes it easier to identify affected systems and locate communication or network-related faults without relying solely on conventional ECU lists.

Full Bi-Directional / Active Tests

The PRO5 supports bi-directional control on compatible vehicles.

This allows the technician to send commands to supported vehicle systems and observe their response, helping to determine whether a component or circuit is operating correctly.

Examples can include supported:

• Fuel pumps
• Cooling fans
• Valves
• Relays
• Actuators
• Windows
• Locks
• Lighting systems
• HVAC components
• Other electronically controlled components

The exact active tests available depend on the vehicle and ECU.

50+ Professional Service & Maintenance Functions

The PRO5 provides 50+ service and reset functions, with availability depending on vehicle coverage. Common functions include:

• Oil Service Reset
• EPB Reset
• BMS / Battery Registration
• ABS Bleeding
• SAS / Steering Angle Calibration
• DPF Regeneration
• Injector Coding
• Throttle Adaptation
• TPMS Functions
• AdBlue / SCR Functions
• NOx Sensor Functions
• Gearbox / Transmission Adaptation
• Suspension Reset
• EGR Adaptation
• AFS / Headlamp Calibration
• Clutch Matching
• Turbo Matching
• Sunroof Reset
• Window Calibration
• Air Suspension Functions
• Brake Service Functions

The exact list of available functions varies according to vehicle make, model, year and ECU.

FCA AutoAuth Support

The PRO5 supports FCA Secure Gateway / AutoAuth functions for supported FCA/Stellantis vehicles.

An appropriate AutoAuth account/subscription and vehicle-specific authorisation may be required.

VAG Guided Functions

For supported Volkswagen Group vehicles, VAG Guided Functions can assist technicians with certain complex procedures by providing guided on-screen instructions.

Supported applications can include Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Škoda, with availability depending on vehicle and software coverage.

Remote Diagnostics

One of the key SmartLink 2.0 features is its remote diagnostic capability.

The PRO5 can be used to connect with compatible LAUNCH diagnostic equipment or supported remote technicians, allowing assistance with difficult diagnostic cases without necessarily having the required high-end equipment physically in the workshop.

Remote service availability may require additional services or subscriptions.

Expandable Workshop Platform

The PRO5 can be expanded with additional LAUNCH equipment, including:

• BST360 Bluetooth Battery Tester
• X431 TSGUN / compatible TPMS equipment
• X-PROG / X-PROG3 for supported immobiliser and key programming functions
• VSP-600 VideoScope
• LAUNCH ADAS calibration equipment
• Compatible heavy-duty diagnostic accessories

This allows the PRO5 to become part of a broader workshop diagnostic system rather than a standalone scan tool.

Tablet Hardware

The current SmartLink 2.0 version is based on:

• 10.1-inch touchscreen
• Android 10
• 2.0 GHz quad-core processor
• 4 GB RAM
• 64 GB internal storage
• 7,000 mAh battery
• 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz Wi-Fi
• 8 MP rear camera
• 5 MP front camera
• SmartLink 2.0 VCI

These specifications refer specifically to the newer SmartLink 2.0 version. Earlier X431 PRO5/SmartBox versions have different hardware specifications, so they should not be confused with this model.

Heavy-Duty Vehicle Support

The SmartLink 2.0 VCI supports DC 9–36V communication, making it suitable for compatible heavy-duty vehicle applications.

Please note: this does not mean that full truck diagnostic software is included.

Heavy-duty diagnostics require the appropriate LAUNCH truck software package and, where applicable, the required non-standard connector/adapter.
