What it does

OBD, bench and boot

OBD

BDM Motorola MPC5xx, Bosch bench EDC16 and MED9, MEDC17 TriCore boot, bench MEDC17 and MDG1, bench DSG Temic, boot MPC55xx, VAG FRF/ODX/SGO flasher, LR/Jaguar/Ford VBF flasher, DoIP (ENET), K-line and KWP, 24V industrial vehicles, older EDC15 and ME7 protocols, recovery mode and automatic checksums.

Bench

OBD K-line, CAN and DoIP ENET; boot and bench interface for ST10, C167, Renesas, TriCore, TC29x and MPC5777; BDM MPC5xx; a high-current power supply for boot, bench and BDM. All accessories included.

Boot

Full boot support on the TriCore and Renesas families through the bench interface, with the Diagnostic Tool for logging, power tests and acceleration tests.

Software

The VR search checks whether a virtual read already exists on the server before you open the car, which saves bench time on locked ECUs.

Slave or master

Which version?

A slave CMD reads and writes files encrypted to our file service: cheaper, simpler, and the tuned file comes back ready to write. A master version gives you the decrypted file to edit or send anywhere. Most new dealers start with a slave and never need more; tell us what you plan to do and we will say which.
