Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Mazda, Opel, Vauxhall (offline coding).
Customise hidden features: auto-fold mirrors, DRL brightness, seat memory, or Start/Stop deactivation.
Re-configure and sync ECU modules after replacements or updates.
⚙️ J2534 Programming
Full support for OEM programming through manufacturer websites (e.g. Ford IDS, GM Tech2Win, VW ODIS, Toyota Techstream).
Works as a Pass-Thru device via USB or Wi-Fi for dealer-level reprogramming.
Ideal for ECU firmware updates, module flashing, and VIN re-coding.
🧩 PMI Function (Ford, Lincoln, Mazda)
Automatically transfers data from an old module to a new one — saving time and avoiding manual reconfiguration.
🧠 Diagnostics & System Coverage
Accesses every electronic control system: engine, transmission, ABS, SRS, BCM, TPMS, HV battery, ADAS modules, and more.
Performs full-system scanning, live data monitoring, and component activation.
AutoVIN & AutoScan instantly identify the vehicle make, model, and year.
99 % vehicle coverage for cars from 1996 to 2025 +, including EU, US, and Asian models.
Vehicle history database allows quick access to previous reports.
🧩 Topology Mapping – Visual Diagnostic Intelligence
The colour-coded Topology Map provides a real-time visual overview of all ECU networks:
Displays communication lines between modules (CAN, LIN, K-line, FlexRay).
Each ECU is colour-tagged to show its operational state (active, faulty, offline).
Tap a module to view live data, freeze frames, or fault codes instantly.
Greatly reduces diagnostic time and ensures no hidden module is missed.
🔧 Active Tests and Bi-Directional Control
Run over 3 000 active tests directly from the tablet.
Trigger individual actuators to verify operation – windows, locks, fans, valves, lamps, pumps, injectors.
Power Balance Test evaluates engine cylinder performance and detects misfire issues.
Verify repairs immediately without removing components.
