The part shown in the image "image_2.png" is the LAUNCH X-PROG 3 (known as GIII). This is not a regular fault scanner, but a very advanced programmer specialized in programming car keys, immobilizer systems, and cloning car computers and ECUs. It is an additional unit usually connected with large "Launch" scanners (like the X431 Pro or PAD series) to activate complex programming functions.
