Secret of Launch Tech's Product Naming Rules

By ECUTOOL August 4th, 2025 1489 views
Here’s a simplified explanation of **Launch Tech’s (元征) product naming rules in English:  

1. Product Series (Main Categories)

Launch Tech uses letters at the start of product names to show the type of device:  
- X-series (e.g., X-431) → High-end diagnostic tools (most advanced, works with many car brands).  
- C-series (e.g., CReader) → Mid-range or basic code readers (cheaper, simpler functions).  
- P-series (e.g., PAD) → Portable/tablet-style devices (easy to carry).  
- T-series → Tire pressure tools (like TPMS sensors).  
- G-series (e.g., golo) → Smart car gadgets (for internet/cloud features).  
- A/ADAS-series → For advanced driver-assistance systems (like lane-keeping cameras).  


2. Numbers = Model & Upgrades


- The numbers (like 431 in X-431) tell you the base model.  
- Higher numbers or Roman numerals (III, IV, V) mean newer versions.  
  - Example: "X-431 V" is newer than "X-431 IV".  
- Some numbers show special features (e.g., "CReader 8001" vs. "9001").  


3. Extra Words = Special Features  

- **PRO / PLUS** → More professional features (e.g., **X-431 PRO**).  
- **Lite / Basic** → Simpler, cheaper version.  
- **EV** → Works with electric/hybrid cars (e.g., **X-431 EV**).  
- **ADAS** → For calibrating car safety cameras/sensors.  
- **TPMS** → For tire pressure systems.  
- **PAD** → Tablet-style device (e.g., **X-431 PAD VII** = 7th-gen tablet).  


4. Examples

1. **X-431 PAD VII** =  
   - **X-431** (high-end tool) + **PAD** (tablet) + **VII** (7th version).  
2. **CReader 9001** =  
   - **CReader** (basic scanner) + **9001** (model number).  
3. **golo 7** =  
   - **golo** (smart device) + **7** (7th generation).  


Note:
- Names can change slightly for new products.
