X431 HD III 2019 quick start guide:
How does X431 HDIII work?
The HD III works as a vehicle communication interface device, which is used to read the vehicle data and then send it to the diagnostic tool via BT/WLAN communication or data cable connection.
The LED indicators enable you to easily identify the working status of the HD III.
1. Vehicle connection of X431 HD III
2. X431 HD III WLAN communication setup.
To establish the WLAN communication between the HD III and scan tool, proceed the following steps:
- Follow the steps mentioned in Section 1 to make a connection.
- Power the scan tool on and launch the diagnostic application
- After logging successfully, tap “Profile”)” -> “VCI Management (or “Diagnostic connector connection management)” -> select “Use Wi-Fi communication”, a pull-down option list appears:
1) Work as WLAN hotspot
Once enabled, the HD III and scan tool form a LAN network to make communication. In this case, the scan tool cannot surf the Internet.
2) Work as Network adaptor (Recommended)
Once enabled, a WLAN connection dialog box appears. Input the network name and access password until it is properly connected. In this case, the scan tool can surf the Internet and communicate with HD III.
3. Activate HD III & Download software
If you had a diagnostic tool of 12V passenger car configuration and intend to extend the diagnostics of commercial vehicles, follow the steps described below to activate the HD III:
Note: Please make sure that the diagnostic tool is properly connected to the Internet before proceeding this step.
- Launch the application, and log in the system using the existing user account of Passenger Vehicle Configuration, and then tap “Personal Center (or )” -> “Activate VCI (or “Activate Connector )”.
