Introduction
Congratulations on choosing our wonderful product!
The “Abrites CAN Gateway” is a device designed to work with AVDI, to help connect different modules on bench. This product can synchronize CAN communication between devices with different CAN speeds. The main need for this product arises from the difficult process of connecting all parts in cars/trucks on bench. In its first iteration, this device provides the ability for all parts of a Mercedes truck, connected to the immobilizer system, to be easily connected for various diagnostic and advanced procedures, such as virginizing, personalizing a module, and key programming. In future iterations, this product may also be used for other functionalities if there is a need for a gateway. In this user manual, we’ll walk you through the process of connecting both AVDI and ZN181 – CAN Gateway Set, using the software and making the right connections to the electronic units you are working on. AVDI should be used with ABRITES software produced by Abrites Ltd. ABRITES is a trade mark of Abrites Ltd
