Launch X-PROG3 - Professional device dedicated to programming car keys and immobilizer systems (IMMO), reading/writing ECU, EEPROM, and MCU, compatible with the Launch X431 series

Discover Launch X-PROG3 – the professional device dedicated to auto workshops and service centers working with immobilizers, keys, ECUs, and control modules. Designed to cover a wide range of modern vehicles, X-PROG3 offers top tools for key programming, reading/writing ECU/MCU/EEPROM, module cloning, and much more.

Main functions

• Compatible with the Launch X-431 diagnostic scanner series: X431 V, V+, PRO3, PRO5, PAD V, PAD VII etc. Allows integration of the X-PROG3 programmer into the workflow of auto diagnostics and programming.

• Key & immobilizer (IMMO) programming: immobilizer type recognition, read/write key chip, generate special keys, remote control matching, "all keys lost" function for many models.

• Read/write EEPROM, MCU, CAS4+/FEM: access data from immobilizer chips or modules (MCU) and then rewrite or clone where necessary.

• ECU/TCU cloning and replacement: for modern platforms (e.g., VW/Audi MQB, BMW, Mercedes etc.), supports cloning or ECU/TCU replacement without full disassembly in some cases.

• Support for multiple vehicle systems: immobilization, locking system, instrument cluster, automatic transmission, body system, steering column, etc.

• Regular software updates: the list of supported vehicles and modules is constantly expanded, making the product viable long-term.

   

COMPLETE IMMO FUNCTIONS (immobilizer):

Key advantages

• A single device covers multiple functions (keys + immobilizer + ECU/TCU) – efficient for specialized auto service centers.

• Support for European, Asian, and American vehicles: VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, and others.

• Time saving: many operations can be done without extensive disassembly, reducing risks and service time.

• Professional: designed for workshop use, supports complex scenarios like "all keys lost," transmission modules, data cloning, etc.

• Extended compatibility with Launch diagnostic equipment – integrates perfectly into modern service workflows.

Recommendations

• For full use of functions (e.g., ECU/TCU cloning) a compatible Launch X-431 tablet is required (PRO3, PAD V, PRO5 etc.).

• Software updates can be purchased separately after the license period expires (e.g., 2 years for IMMO functions).

• Programming and cloning operations require experience – recommended for use only by qualified personnel.

• Make sure to purchase the original Launch product to benefit from technical support and official updates.

• The list of supported vehicles and modules is continuously updated.

Benefits for auto service centers

• Reduces costs by replacing multiple separate devices.

• Significantly reduced diagnostic and programming time.

• Technical support and online updates.

• High reliability, robust construction, and professional performance.
