⚠️ Important Compatibility Information
Before ordering, verify the exact X431 model, serial number, regional version, SmartLink hardware and current HD activation status.
The package is an HD expansion, not a complete diagnostic scanner. A compatible X431 tablet and appropriate SmartLink interface are required.
Truck coverage, Active Tests, service functions and special procedures vary according to manufacturer, vehicle, model year, ECU and software version. Older vehicles can also require specific physical adapters.
Why Choose the LAUNCH X431 Heavy Duty Upgrade?
Der LAUNCH X431 Heavy Duty Truck Software License & Adapter Kit is designed for workshops that already own a compatible professional X431 platform and want to expand into 24V trucks, buses and commercial vehicles.
It combines the essential elements for a first Heavy Duty expansion: HD diagnostic software, a 1-year update period and commercial-vehicle adapters.
With supported vehicles, technicians gain access to full-system diagnostics, live data, Active Tests, DPF/SCR functions, injector tests, ABS/EBS, transmission and trailer diagnostics while continuing to use their existing compatible LAUNCH X431 ecosystem.
