Launch X431 IMMO Plus vs IMMO Elite vs X431 V+ vs PAD VII

Jun9

Launch X431 Xprog3 with GIII is used to program Benz/BMW/VAG/Porsche keys and clone or replace ECU/TCU modules.What’s the difference among Launch X431 IMMO Plus,IMMO Elite,X431V+ and X431 PAD VII with Xprog3 ?

In sum:
IMMO Plus has the same key programming and ECU/TCU clone functions as IMMO Elite.The difference between these two is that IMMO Elite has basic diagnostics but IMMO Plus has full diagnostics
IMMO tablets support newer vehicle immo programming,i.e Volvo pre-2022,Toyota pre-2022,X431 V+ and PAD VII do not.
PAD VII supports online programming, others do not.
To clone or replace ECU or gearbox TCU with X-prog3,your tablet should have the ability to connect via USB.Lanuch X431 V+ only connects via Bluetooth, so X431V+ with GIII can not clone ECU/TCU.

Quick Tutorial on VW MQB Add Key & All Key Lost

VW MQB add key & all key lost functions have been officially released to help you reduce the cost of key programming significantly.

1. To activate the feature, you need to own KET TOOL PLUS or VVDI2+VVDI PROG.

2. All key lost requires third-party cooperation to obtain certain data, and may incur extra charges.

3. Support read immo data for MQB48 type (with NEC35xx chip) which can’t read by OBD or all key lost. Support add key and all key lost (need synchronize data).

Instructions
Before read the chip data on the PCB board, we need to lift pin or cut PCB wire first.

⭐Lifting PIN from CPU
1. Find the lift PIN(FVDD) position according to diagram.
2. Prepare a hot-air gun, set temperature to 355℃/671℉, adjust to the lowest speed, focus on the PIN(FVDD) when start operating.
3. After heating the PIN(FVDD), insert the operating knife under the PIN and lift it slightly up. DON’T lift up too much, just make sure the PIN disconnect with PCB.
4. Wait until the PIN cooling down, solder a thin wire or an enameled wire onto the lift PIN, use gummed paper to fix this wire on the back of CPU in case of any movement.
5. After Read/Write MCU operation, remove the soldering wire from the lift PIN(FVDD). Use the hot-air gun heating the PIN again, then solder the lift PIN back to PCB(original position).
⭐Cutting off wire of PCB
1.Find the cutting off the wire position, according to the remarked position and shape for cutting wire as the diagram shown.
2.Follow the instruction and operate slightly while cutting off the wire. Don’t use too much force, otherwise the PCB board will be damaged.
3.After cut wire successful, check the FVDD point whether disconnect with other reference points as the diagram shown.
4.After Read/Write MCU operation, need to recover the cutting wire position back as before.

WiTech MicroPod 2 Customer Questions & Answers

WiTech MicroPod 2 Customer Questions & Answers

Question:wiTech Micropod2 Clone Failed to Register Mopar, is there any solution ?
Answer:
Solution:
Chrysler tech authority for subscriptions use to work fine with clone micro-pod2 for programming with witech1 17.04 . Now Chrysler has changed from the normal site to now mopartsp.com that wants any obd tool registered and warning wiTECH 2.0 requires Mopar’s 2017 secure microPod II (WSP-31560 or above). The device you attempted to register to your account does not meet this criteria.
Ever since witech/tech authority moved to MoparTSP, micropod clones don’t work for ECU programming. This is down to all clones sharing the same serial number meaning you cannot get around the device registration. The process to register and configure the software is difficult if you are not in USA.
There is a limited range of approved devices, any other legit J2534 devices might work, might not.
With cda6 offline its one option to do ecu programming.

Question:
How to work online micropod2 through witech 17.04.27?
Answer:
-First you need to get a TechAuthority subscription, directly from TechAuthority or from AEtools (You can order a 3-day subscription).
-Then open the Witech program and when the Micropod 2 is detected click the “Next” button at the right bottom in the screen.
-In the next screen you have to enter your license credentials but the first option is only for dealers: username, password and dealer code.
-To use the TechAuthority account you need to click in the tab “change server” and select “Techauthority”, then you only need your username and passsword, not dealer code needed because TechAuthority access is intended for aftermarket or independent workshops.
With TechAuthority access we can use all functions in Witech 17.04.27 for diagnostics, calibrations and programming. We can Update or reprogram the PCM, TCM, TIPM… also we can program a new key or make “Restore vehicle options”, “Reset Ecu” and many other calibrations like “Learn ETC”, “proxy alignment”…, also we can install a new module and make a full flash or configuration. All of this is only possible for vehicles until 2017, for vehicles from 2018+ we need to use Witech 2.0.

Question:
Does wiTech 2.0 still have a DRB III emulator?
Answer:
The DRB 3 Emulator is no longer included with the wiTECH software, it was removed a few years ago.
You can download DRB3 from third-party resources and test with micropod2 clones. Security is unknown.
or go for wiTech VCI Pod which has DRBIII emulator included in default.

Question:
will be possible to work online?
Answer:
Yes, tested by many. Online subscription to TechAuthority works with both USB and WIFI MicroPod 2.
No difference if the Micropod 2 is clone or genuine, both of them work perfectly for diagnostics and programming, online or offline, with TechAuthority account.

Question:
Does wiTech Micropod2 Clone Work on Chrysler 2020 2021?
Answer:
2018 + FCA cars have new ecu SGW which need to be unlocked online WITECH 2.0 for diagnostic session or need to bypass SGW. wiTECH 1.0 will not be able to dial with 2018+ FCA models. wiTECH 2.0 is mandatory.
There are 2 Micrpod II clone interfaces available:
One is without WiFi. This one with wiTech 1.0 supports Chrysler till 2017/some 2018. No possible to work on Chrysler 2018 or newer
Tips:
If you have clone with serial number change 000000 will not work because the serial number is lower then recommendation per witech2 must have new Micropod2 number starting 31xxxx must higher able can using witech 2 diag application.
You can use witech1 17.04.027 but you need pay some set up this version pass FCA check up when you launch witech1 application ..BUT you can’t log in dealer connect if you have log in techauthority ID not dealer connect tech ID & dealer codes.

Question:
Will witech diagnose Chrysler till 2018?
Answer:Yes.

Question:
Can I install witech v17 on Windows XP laptop?
Answer: No. Recommend install witech on Windows 7.

Question:
Possible to connect WiFi with micropod ii?
Answer: Sorry, Miropod II does not support WiFi connection.

Question:
Does witech dianose Fiat Alfa as well?
Answer: You can try to diagnose Fiat and Alfa if you have online account. If don’t, it does not.

Question:
Will witech do dodge challenger 2016 diagnosis?
Answer: Yes, it will.

Question:
Does witech support Jeep Rengade?
Answer: Yes.
