2.Differences:

Price (high to low): X431 V+> V> Pros V1.0

• Hardware configurations: X431 V+ is the best (10 inch screen+ 8-Core 1.8GHz+ 1920x1200 screen resolution+ Rear 8.0 MP/ Front 5.0 MP camera+ 7000mAh/3.8V).
• Online Parameterization: both Launch X431 PROS V1.0 and X431 V+ support for VW/Audi, while X431 V doesn't support.
• Online Calibration & Matching: Only X431 PROS V1.0 supports, X431 V and V+ don't support.
• Guided function: Both Launch X431 V+ and PROS V1.0 support, but X431 V cannot.
• Compatible with X431 HDIII: only X431 V+ can do full comprehensive HD truck diagnostic functions for cars and trucks from 12V to 24V.

In a word, if you have a sufficient budget and need a Launch diagnostic tool with high quality, Launch X431 V+ is good for you. If you want to have a device with guided function and can perform online parameterization and calibration & matching, Launch X431 PROS V1.0 is the most cost-effective. Launch X431 V 8 inch tablet is also a good full system diagnostic tool with 31 reset functions, no IP limited, and supports vehicles up to 1000+, works directly without activation!
