Here is a tutorial about how to upgrade the “X-431 HD” app to the “X-431” app on the Launch X431 PAD V Elite with SmartLink C (X431 PAD5 LINK HD). The new app covers the same function as the old one but combines resources from the passenger car app into a single app. This makes it easier to use and allows for better interaction between functions.

Finally, it will turn to X-431 PAD5 LINK HD interface
