Expertise matters in the world of vehicle diagnostics, and a new high-end professional diagnostic tool from Launch UK embodies years of aftermarket understanding.
Developed from the PRO 5 Plus, the new Launch PRO 5 Link features the super remote diagnostics solution SmartlinkC, which is a new development that allows a technician to call on a remote service provider, who, using a SmartlinkB interface, will connect to the vehicle remotely and use their in depth experience, expertise of OEM and aftermarket diagnostic tools, to carry out almost any diagnostic or programming function, on any vehicle.
With super remote diagnosis, any diagnostic function is possible, significantly reducing the need for technicians to purchase additional diagnostic tools or outsource diagnostic issues, meaning the vehicle can be fixed faster.
Launch UK remote services are powered by Asus, a global force in the provision of remote automotive service.
Access to the Launch Smartlink service platform is either paid for annually by subscription or pay-as-you-go and an access fee.
Service fees vary, dependant on the requirement.
Covering both passenger car and commercial vehicle diagnostics, this advanced interface supports multiple communication and diagnostic protocols, including DOIP, CAN FD, J2534/1/2, D-PDU, RP-1210/C, 5GMHz wi-fi, Ethernet, USB 2.0.
