X431 ECU & TCU Programmer (PC version) vs. X-Prog3 + X431 Tablet:

Pros:

  • Work standalone with PC software. No need Launch GIII X-Prog3 key programmerand X431 tablet.
  • Support VW Audi Porsche ECU cloning (thefunction is in the Data processing section).
  • The connection is more convenient.
  • It’s faster and more stable to read and write data (3x times faster than Android tablet).
  • It’s more convenient to process and transferdata on PC.
  • PC software adds MEDC17 ECUs IMMO off

Cons:

  • Notsupport immobilizer and key programming. If you need to program keys, choose x-prog3 with x431 tablet.

NOTE:

X431 GIII is not recommended to be used with V+/Pros. It only adds the key programming function for German VAG, BMW and PORSCHE. These tablets only have Bluetooth interface, without USB interface, and cannot perform ECU TCU clone function. Only PAD V, PAD VII and IMMO tablets (X431 IMMO Elite/X431 IMMO Plus) can do ECU TCU CLONE.
