In fact, it can be seen that except for the CRP series, which has fewer functions, the functions of other products are only slightly different.
For example, the biggest difference between the PRO3(V+) series and the PRO5 series is that: PRO5 supports Benz and BMW online programming, but PRO3 V+ ELITE does not support it.
As the flagship product of LAUNCH X431, the PAD series has the most functions.
