Question:
Is it possible to use Launch X431 PRO5 to work with X431 Key Programmer? If yes, how to do it?
LaunchX431.fr engineer replied:
Yes. X431 PRO5 SmartLink and PRO5 SmartBox can work with X-431 Key Programmer to read transponder, generate transponder, detect frequency, detect Ignition switch coil signal, generate remote (LAUNCH X431 remote), set type of super chip, set type of wireless remote, unlock Toyota smart key, etc.
X431 Pro5 SmartLink (new) has a Type-C connector that can directly connect with X-431 Key Programmer. Besides, it also can connect with X431 i-TPMS Tool, and X431 X-Prog3 to do 315/433MHz Sensors’s activation, programming, relearning and diagnosis, and ECU &TCU clone.
X431 Pro5 SmartBox (old) doesn’t have a Type-C connector, but you can buy an extra OTG USB Micro to USB-C Adapter to perform the same functions mentioned as the new Pro5.
Customer feedback:
Launch X-431 Key Programmer it works on the X-431 Pro5, but you need to buy an OTG USB Micro to USB-C adapter. Of course, you could add it to the set, even instead of the regular USB included in the set. I know because I bought such a device and I have an X-431 Pro5, I connected it via the mentioned adapter and it works without any problems. There is one important “but” the adapter must support OTG otherwise it will not work.
