In a nutshell, the tablet parameter is pretty much the same. They perform similar functions. The biggest difference is the VCI box, X431 Pro5 has the new smartbox 3.0, the Euro pro5 has the DBScar VCI.
Pros5 is the upgrade version of X431 V+. It will not do BMW or Mercedes online programming. The device itself does not come with built-in online programming (requires PAD V/PAD VII).
Euro pro5 can do online programming.
The smartbox of Pro5 can be used as passthru j2534 interface for OEM online programming. Euro pro5 DBScar VCI cannot be used as passthru device.
X-431 Pro5 is global version, no IP limitation. Euro pro5 is available at European dealers only.

1. J2534 ECU Programming
Serve as J2534-Compliant VCI - compatible with Toyota, Honda, Volvo, VW, GM, Chrysler, Benz, Jaguar, Land Rover; offering cost-effective access to data and OE programming downloads from vehicle manufacturers.
2. ECU Coding: Alter the Car on Your Demand
From manufacturer-specific reprogramming to full diagnostic capability, this LAUNCH diagnostic scanner also has the magic power “ECU Coding” to keep you on the cutting edge:
1)You can match, relearn, and code the newly installed ECU module after making repairs or replacements.
2) You can change the market-specific settings to activate higher-level car functions and disable unneeded features, breaking limitations.
3. Active Test: Enhance Your Experience.
This X431 scan tool also functions as a bi-directional car scanner to perform specific tests and functions without using the vehicle’s own controls to save time. For example: using the diagnostic tool to command the fuel pump. If the fuel pressure gauge shows proper fuel pressure, you’d know the fuel pump circuit and pump are functioning properly. The process just takes < 5 minutes. If testing manually? Three times as long!
4. Guided Functions
Guiding you to be an expert in automotive diagnostic.
Compatible with Volkswagen / Audi / Skoda / Seat etc.
5. Advanced ALL Systems Diagnoses
This LAUNCH diagnostic scanner can establish a data link to all systems and subsystems of the vehicle being serviced to:
1) Retrieve ECU information including unit type, version numbers, and other specifications, etc.
2) Read & erase DTCs to locate problem areas and clear the codes.
3) View Live Data of each parameter item.
4) This comprehensive scanning process is able to locate the faulty systems and retrieve the DTCs related easily. So you can work on all parts of the vehicle systems to enhance performance, save energy, reduce emissions, and everything else.
6. 50+ Hot Reset & Relearn Maintenance Services
You can easily choose multiple commonly-used service functions, follow their clear and precise instructions to complete complex projects much faster, including but not limited to the following:
And many more with expanding. Function menus vary by manufacturer, year, and model. Reach us for compatibility check.
NOTE: *Explore more service functions by accessing menus of “Vehicle Brand -> System Diagnostics -> Special Function”.

AUTOVIN--- Maximize Your Intelligence
8. AUTO VIN: Maximize Your Intelligence
This intelligent scanner will automatically identify the make, model, and manufacture year in one touch; help you match the right software so the diagnosis will be carried out fast and efficiently. You will also enjoy how smart it would be to record the test results as Inspection Report, being done by itself, letting you maintain vehicle health logs and share the information easily.
9. Remote Diagnosis
Users can carry out the remote diagnosis to ask for the remote control from other LAUNCH diagnostic tools (including but not limited to V+ 4.0), which are equipped with the remote diagnosis module as well, or from a PC client technician. This has realized the reality that a mechanic can diagnose an abnormal vehicle, which is even thousands of miles away.
