LAUNCH X431 diagnostic equipment has multiple series and models. This time we will compare the differences between LAUNCH X431 PRO3 ACE and LAUNCH CRP919 tools.
Note: In terms of supported functions, the functions of PRO3 ACE, PRO3 APEX, PRO3S+ 5.0, V+ 5.0 (V+ is also called PRO3) are the same.
In addition, the functions of CRP919E and CRP919X are the same, as are the functions of CRP919E BT and CRP919X BT.
The structures of PRO3 and CRP919 are very similar, with the same A and C USB connectors, the same power button and camera, except that PRO3 is larger in size. In addition, there is a bracket on the back of PRO3, while CRP919 does not have a bracket on the back.
Both PRO3 and CRP919 are compatible with CAN FD and DoIP protocols.
Both have VAG boot function.
Both are able to activate hidden high-end functions.
The PRO3 comes with a box with a special connector for OBD1 vehicles, so the PRO3 can diagnose vehicles dating back to 1984. The CRP919 does not have this connector, so it is suitable for vehicles from 1996 and later.
PRO3 is compatible with ADAS, CRP is not compatible with ADAS.
PRO3 ACE has 41 special functions or service functions, while CRP919E BT has 35 special functions.
PRO3 has a topology map function that many people like when diagnosing, while CRP919 does not have a topology map.
PRO3 also supports Smartlink HD heavy-duty modules, while CRP919 does not support truck software.
From the functional interface, when you go to Other Modules->Toolbox, you will see that PRO3 has more icons than CRP919, which means that PRO3 has more module extensions than CRP919.
PRO3 supports modules: Oscilloscope, S2-2 Sensorbox, Multimeter(S2-2), BST360, Immo Programmer, Video Scope, Current clamp, EM 101N Oscilloscope, EM 101N Multimeter, Key Programmer, ES200 Insulation.
CRP919 supports modules: Video Scope, TPMS, BST360
When we try to do a vehicle diagnostic, you can see that we get a topology map on the PRO3. On the CRP we only get a list.
The advantage of the topology diagram is that it displays any module with code in the diagram and has logic, so you don’t have to scroll through it.
As far as the drive test goes, just a quick scan shows that both devices are showing pretty much the same screen. Going into the data stream screen. You can see that they both show 161 items.
We can display the data stream as a chart. Due to the size problem, CRP919 can only display 8 charts at a time, while Pro3 with a larger screen can display up to 12 charts. And Pro3 supports rotating the screen to display vertically, while CRP919 can only display horizontally.
In general, PRO3 is a higher-end diagnostic device than CRP919, and of course it is more expensive. Both products are competitive in their respective price ranges, and which one should be chosen depends more on the user’s needs and budget.
