1 / 7LAUNCH X431 IMMO Plus key programmer with PROG3
The LAUNCH X431 IMMO Plus is a vehicle key and immobiliser programming tool paired in the listing description with the PROG3 programmer. It also claims all-system diagnostics, bidirectional tests, ECU coding and more than 39 service functions, so it is aimed at automotive professionals rather than basic fault-code reading.
At a glance
- The listing describes an X431 PROG3 programmer alongside key and immobiliser functions including key learning, matching, adding and deleting keys.
- Claims include engine and gearbox ECU cloning, full-system diagnostics, bidirectional active tests and ECU coding.
- The tablet platform is specified as Android 10.0 with an 8-inch touchscreen.
- The listing claims more than 39 maintenance services, but says functions vary by vehicle make, model and year.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Combines key and immobiliser programming claims with broader diagnostics and ECU coding functions.
- Bidirectional control can send commands to vehicle systems, complementing code reading and live-data functions.
- The listed PROG3 supports reading and writing EEPROM and MCU data, according to the product description.
Cons
- Specialist key programming and ECU operations are vehicle-dependent, limiting the usefulness of the advertised breadth for any particular vehicle without compatibility confirmation.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The product title, features and hardware details contain discrepancies: the title names X431 IMMO Plus with PROG3, while the model field says LAUNCH X431 PLUS, the dimensions are unusually large for a diagnostic tablet, and power is listed as corded electric despite a stated 6300mAh battery. The listing also claims 2 years of free updates but gives a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Confirm the exact selected model, dimensions, power arrangement, update entitlement and vehicle-specific functions before buying. The DoIP feature requires an extra adapter cable, and diagnostic and coding functions vary by vehicle.

Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Automotive locksmiths and repair professionals needing key and immobiliser programming alongside diagnostic functions.
- Workshops that can confirm compatibility for their target vehicles and make use of bidirectional tests, ECU coding or module cloning.
Less suited to
- Drivers seeking a simple OBD-II code reader for occasional home checks.
- Buyers who need confirmed key, ECU or service-function support for a particular vehicle without checking make, model and year compatibility first.

Customer feedback reports positive impressions of functionality and ease of use, with some customers describing the tool as useful for their needs. That is relevant to a tablet offering diagnostics and programming in one unit, but experiences may depend on vehicle compatibility. The overall rating distribution is not uniformly positive, so the favourable comments do not guarantee a good fit for every workshop.
Positive themes
- Customers report useful functionality.
- Customers mention ease of use and a smooth interface.
- Some customers describe it as worth the cost.
Frequently asked questions
Does the listing include the PROG3 programmer?
The product title and feature text claim an X431 PROG3 programmer is included. The explicit included-components field only lists one LAUNCH X431 IMMO Plus, so check the selected listing to confirm the bundle.
Will it program keys for my vehicle?
The listing describes a range of key functions, but states that functions vary by make, model and year. Confirm compatibility for your exact vehicle before purchase.
Are all advertised functions ready to use with the listed kit?
Not necessarily. The listing says diagnostic functions vary by vehicle and that DoIP use requires a separately purchased adapter cable.
How long are updates and warranty coverage?
The listing claims two years of free updates, while its manufacturer warranty description states one year. Confirm both terms with the seller or manufacturer.
