Launch Tech adds high-end X-431 Euro Tab III to evolving product portfolio.
Launch Tech Australia continues to expand its portfolio of high-tech automotive workshop products, with the diagnostic scan tools and garage equipment specialist bringing the X-431 Euro Tab III high-end car fault diagnostic scan tool, incorporating the Android 9.0 operating system, to the local market.
The newly developed Euro Tab III handset slots smoothly into Launch Tech’s product ecosystem, with it effectively building on its well-established, powerful diagnostic technology, providing both broad passenger and heavy-duty (optional) vehicle coverage and numerous special functions.
It also notably comes with the Smartlink C VCI, which attaches to the vehicle’s OBD port and connects to the Euro Tab III wirelessly via Wi-Fi, paving the way for enhanced communication and a number of advanced functions.
X-431 EURO TAB III DESIGN AND FEATURES
The Euro Tab III measures in at 353 x 236 x 71 mm and sports a large 13.3 inch IPS touchscreen display (1,920 x 1,080 resolution), while under the hood it is equipped with a 2 GHz octa-core CPU, 8 GB of memory, 256 GB of storage and a high-capacity battery which harnesses quick-charge technology.

With the Launch CarSet database (powered by HaynesPro) fully integrated into the Euro Tab III’s diagnostic software, this takes the user directly from the DTC to a step-by-step testing routine, leading to the fault code solution.
