Autocom offers several different softwares. All developed for users within each specific area.
CARS
CARS is a competent tool with features like System Identification, System Scan and System Update. You can quickly perform service features, troubleshooting, adjustments and activations on vehicle systems thanks to a unique vehicle database that includes both passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
GENERIC
GENERIC is a fast and reliable OBD tool for performing statutory exhaust-related vehicle diagnostics. The information is retrieved via the interface of the hardware for vehicle communication and can be used for both cars and goods vehicles. GENERIC is used for periodic vehicle inspections and mobile inspections out on the roads, as well as by police, armed forces and schools.
TRUCKS
TRUCKS is an effective workshop tool for diagnosing and servicing light and heavy goods vehicles, trailers and buses. Using System Identification, System Scan and System Update you quickly get a reliable diagnosis, with the focus on features such as troubleshooting, configuration, adjustment, and calibration.
Under the tab “Workshop” you can change/enter information about the workshop as well as add mechanics. This information is used, among others, when you print or save test reports.
Under “Language” you can choose the language in which the program is displayed. Select the language and then press OK. The program will change language within a few seconds.
Under the tab “Hardware configuration” you can set COM-port for the diagnostic unit as well as update connected diagnostic unit with new software (firmware). There are three ways to set the COM-port: “Search”, “USB/BT” and “Bluetooth”.
1. Search
If you choose “Search”, the program automatically search for a diagnostic unit to connect to and then show information about the diagnostic unit that was found.
2. USB/BT
In “USB/BT” mode it is possible to manually choose a specific COM-port. You can also test the connection by pressing “Test”.
3. Bluetooth
Bluetooth Direct is an option where the diagnostic software scans all Bluetooth devices to direct access the VCI.
Note that for all cases, the diagnostic unit must be configured to the computer as well as supplied with voltage (power).
If the software still can’t find a diagnostic unit, you may have to troubleshoot using the “Windows device manager”. In that case, contact your distributor for more information. Also see the chapter Computer configuration.
