Software update at Hella Gutmann
Mega macs diagnostic devices from Hella Gutmann receive the first software update of the year.
Software update at Hella Gutmann
With the first of four annual software updates for mega macs diagnostic devices, Hella Gutmann has taken a decisive step towards the vehicle diagnostics of tomorrow. The multi-brand diagnostic devices from the mega macs series now also support independent workshops when working on vehicles that were previously only able to be diagnosed to a limited extent or not at all, such as the Tesla Model S and Model
Let's talk Tesla
The Tesla brand and especially the Model S enjoy a special status. The Californian manufacturer is breaking new ground in many ways - including in the service concept and vehicle network architecture. Until now, independent workshops were only able to communicate with the vehicles via the Tesla device toolbox 2/3. That is now changing for Hella Gutmann customers. Starting with the V65 software update, which will be released in February 2022, mega macs users will be able to diagnose the S and X models via the OBD interface. Further models are to follow.
A Tesla is also subject to potential sources of interference and must pass the general inspection (HU). By updating the mega macs software, independent workshops now have the opportunity to diagnose these vehicles and ensure their road safety. Technical data, error codes with explanatory text, parameter insight into safety-relevant systems, charging control, battery and thermal management and the option for important basic settings to carry out work on the brake system, the high-voltage charging connection and the air conditioning system help you. It is also possible to reset the steering angle sensor learning values and test the air conditioning system.
Cross-brand Cyber security management
The Hella Gutmann developers made another important addition in the cross-brand Cyber Security Management (CSM) function, which was implemented in the mega macs software just over a year ago. It is now available in every mega macs and allows verified users to freely diagnose vehicles with cyber security systems. Now CSM not only manages the security systems 'Security Gateway' from FCA and 'CeBAS' from Mercedes-Benz, but also the 'SFD' (Security for Vehicle Diagnostics) system from the Volkswagen Group. SFD was first introduced in the VW Golf 8 launched in 2019. Since then, the number of secured vehicle models has continued to rise. At the same time, the advantage for CSM-verified mega macs users increases. Vehicles such as the Audi A3 and Q4 e-tron, Cupra Formentor and Born, Seat Leon, Skoda Octavia and Enyaq as well as the VW Golf 8, Caddy, ID.3, ID.4 and Transporter T7 can now be diagnosed directly via the manufacturer portal.
By the way, every mega macs recognizes when it is dealing with a secured vehicle and initiates the necessary activation steps without the user noticing. Expansions of the CSM to other manufacturers are planned and some are about to be activated.
