A professional automotive diagnostic tablet designed for the workshop
Diagnostics begin with an overview: the module topology immediately shows which control units have faults, which are not responding, and how they communicate. The bidirectional test then controls the actuators, while built-in troubleshooting guides and training videos assist with the intervention. Secure FCA SGW and Renault SGW gateways are supported, as are DoIP and CAN FD protocols without an additional adapter. The SmartLink device also supports 24 V heavy-duty vehicles with software and a heavy-duty adapter sold separately.
