  Has anyone used the Launch X431 PAD III from 2017 on both Euro and Asian cars with success? I know it's not the newest model, but I'm more interested in stability, speed, and wide protocol coverage. Can it handle newer ECUs or is it just for older systems? Curious if it's still worth buying in 2025 or better to look for a different device?

  Had mine since 2020 and it's still a workhorse. Battery lasts surprisingly long and updates were decent for a while. If you're not chasing the latest ADAS calibrations or dealer-only features, it does the job. Bonus: works well offline too.

  If you decide to get one, check out ECUTools - they stock original diagnostic tools and have good support. I bought mine there, and they helped choose the right firmware version for my needs. Worth browsing https://ecutools.eu/
