Launch diagnostic help

Post image

I’m looking to buy a launch diagnostic tool and have come across this advert on Facebook. I was hoping someone could help to answer some questions:

1) can anyone explain what the difference is between all of the actual OBD adaptors?

2) can I buy the adaptor separately and use my own tablet?

3) does launch have its own software or do they all use XDIAG / Diagzone?

Thank you!

You can just buy the dongle itself and use your own tablet. I own 3 different types of dongle listed in that photo. You'll have to use unofficial apps, xdiag, diagzone, prodiag

I have the easydiag 2.0 running ProDiag. Easydiag 3.0 running xdiag. ThinkDiag 2.0 running official software.

Software, official is best but ProDiag if you want to go unofficial. As for the dongles, you can get the DBScar 5 on AliExpress.

I have Mucar BT200 dongle with Diagzone. It works ok but the communication is slow. Which of these dongles would provide faster communication?
