• Topology Mapping 3.0: Provides a visual, color-coded map of the vehicle's network, allowing for easy identification of ECU health status and communication issues.
• Data Stream 3.0 (Enhanced PID Analysis): Visualizes multiple data streams, allows live data fusion from several systems, parameter grouping, and real-time split-screen analysis with the oscilloscope.
• ECU Programming & Coding: Supports ECU programming for BMW and Mercedes-Benz, and advanced ECU coding for many regular cars to unlock features and improve performance.
• 48+ Hot Services: Includes essential reset functions like EPB, Oil Lights, DPF, SAS, TPMS, BMS, Injector Coding, and Throttle Adaptations.
• 3000+ Active Tests: Allows direct control of vehicle components (fans, lights, horns, etc.) for instant fault verification.
• All System Scan: Reads and erases codes, displays graphic live data, and ECU info, with Auto VIN/Scan License for faster identification.

2.4 AI-Driven Multi-Point Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI)

The DVI system standardizes digital reports and uses AI-powered image analysis to auto-detect dents and scratches. It integrates with Autel TBE200 Tire Tread Examiner and ITS600 TPMS tool (sold separately) for detailed tire analysis.
