How LAUNCH SMARTLINK REMOTE DIAGNOSIS Operates
The LAUNCH SmartLink system is a triad of SmartLink C, SmartLink B, and the LAUNCH Super Remote Diagnosis Reservation Platform working in concert.
-
Smartlink C: The Client-Side Connector
For auto repair shops and technicians at the vehicle location, the X431 SmartLink C connects directly to the vehicle’s OBD2 port via the OBDII cable. It then establishes a connection to the LAUNCH Super Remote Diagnosis Reservation Platform through an internet link. For optimal functionality, the Launch J2534 Tool should be installed on a PC and also connected to the Launch Reservation Platform.
-
Smartlink B: The Expert’s Interface
Serving as the business end for remote engineers and technicians, SmartLink B connects to a Launch X431 scan tool, OEM tools, or other compatible diagnostic tools via a VCI/OBDII connection. Like SmartLink C, it also connects to the Launch Reservation Platform via the internet.

Activating Launch SmartLink Remote Diagnosis Functionality
1. For Launch X431 PRO5/PAD V/PAD VII users with X431 SmartLink C: Activation requires purchasing a Launch Annual Activation Card (1 Year) or a Renewal Card (Time Cards).
Option 1: Annual Activation Card: Provides function validity for one year. Renewal or a Time Card purchase is needed upon expiration.
Option 2: Renewal Card (Time Cards): Activation includes 3 free uses valid for one year. Post-activation, users can purchase additional 1, 10, 20, or 50 use cards. Users can replenish connections or opt for an annual renewal card.
2. For Standalone Launch SmartLink C users: Activation also requires a Launch Annual Activation Card (1 Year) or Renewal Card (Time Cards). The Renewal Card (time-based activation) differs slightly from the integrated X431 Pro5/Pad5/Pad7 SmartLink C activation process.
3. For SmartLink B users: Requires purchasing a Smartlink B annual renewal card for one-year function validity, renewable annually.
