One customer used Launch X431 PAD V Elite Scanner to do IMMO programming on his 2014 Ford Eco-Sport and got an error message “The Incode entered was not correct, please check and re-enter”. He renewed his device with one year update service for passenger vehicles before.
LaunchX431.fr engineer replied:
The X431 Pad V One Year Update Service for Passenger Vehicle doesn’t include IMMO Programming function. You need to buy Launch IMMO Software separately.
Some car models also need X431 X-Prog3 to work with PAD V for IMMO programming, but your car model doesn’t need it. If you work for many cars, it’s recommended to buy X-Prog3 as well. When the device prompts you to use X-prog3, you can use it directly.
Launch X431 PAD or PRO with X-Prog3 has less IMMO function than X431 IMMO Plus/ IMMO Elite IMMO versions. The IMMO specific versions have a higher level of IMMO software but the non IMMO versions have more PROGRAMMING Software.
X431 PAD VII/ PRO5/ PAD V/ PRO TT 5.0 + X431 X-prog3 will program keys for German brand only, such as BMW, Mercedes Benz, VW, AUDI, and Porsche.
To program immobilizer keys for other brands GM, Nissan, Honda, Ford, PSA, Renault, Chrysler. Toyota, KIA, Hyundai, etc, users should activate the IMMO software package license to the device. So you don’t need to buy a separate IMMO tablet.
After activation, Launch X431 PAD or PRO with X-prog3 series will have the same immobilizer function as X431 IMMO Plus or IMMO Elite.
The first time you activate IMMO software, you need to buy Launch 2 Years IMMO Software Online Activation. After the 2-year license expires in the future, you can buy one year or 2 years IMMO Software License depending on your need.
