Are you locked out of diagnostics?
Are you locked out of diagnostics? Getting reduced functionality? Are you noticing more and more vehicles locking you out of their diagnostics? Have you reduced functionality on vehicles you previously had compatibility with?
Tech’n’Tools has the answer through the Delphi BlueTech DS180 VCI Diagnostics, with no diagnostic tokens or credit card details needed.
Delphi Diagnostics is pre-approved by the following vehicle manufacturers: Alfa Romeo, Audi, Cupra, Dacia, Ford, Fiat, Iveco, Jeep, Mercedes-Benz, Polestar, Renault, Seat, Skoda, Smart, Volkswagen and Volvo.
Delphi BlueTech DS180 VCI Diagnostics
Delphi Technologies has developed its latest diagnostic tool, the BlueTech VCI, to enable independent workshops to tackle maintenance and repair tasks that would otherwise be passed on to a dealer or diagnostic specialist – featuring integrated DoIP, security gateway, ADAS calibration, and Passthru support.
The DS180/480 (without/with a tablet) also provides support with trouble codes with its DTC Assist – guiding technicians though fault-finding procedures thanks to a database of thousands of real-life workshop repairs and displays expected live data values on screen so you know what to test and what results to expect. It gives the probable causes of over 1,700 fault codes across many marques.
The hardware on existing DS tools provides DoIP via an external adaptor, with the DS180 it is integrated, a third CAN channel has been added and this device is remote diagnostic compatible. A flight recorder enables you to perform a one-man road test; by selecting your parameters and hitting ‘Record’ you can review the data when back in the workshop.
One of the biggest USPs of the DS180 is the integrated security gateway access. Since 2018, Fiat began producing vehicles with a new Secure Gateway Module, removing direct scan tool access from the OBD-II connector for any of the networked modules not related to OBD-II emissions, restricting maintenance and repair functions.
Upon clearance with the VM, normal duties can resume, such as clearing fault codes and resetting service information, component activation and programming adaptations. Workshops must sign up with each manufacturer and pay each of them, each time access is required.
With the BlueTech VCI, Delphi plays the middleman – by purchasing a one, two or three-year license, authorisation is automatic, and you can open up as many gateways as you like within the Delphi subscription.
