DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE

Key Features to Look For

When selecting a diagnostic machine you should check for:

1. Vehicle Coverage & Protocols

A good machine supports a wide range of makes and models, across petrol, diesel and even electric vehicles (EVs). The advanced models from LAUNCH support DoIP, CAN-FD and other modern protocols.

2. Service & Calibration Functions

Beyond reading fault codes, top units offer service resets (oil light, EPB), ADAS calibration and module coding. These features enhance workshop capability and client trust.

3. Remote & Smart Diagnostics

Remote assistance and cloud connectivity are increasingly valuable. For instance, some machines allow video remote diagnostics and expert support in real-time.

4. Software Updates & Support

Because vehicles evolve fast, your diagnostic machine must be supported with regular updates. The models cited include typically three years of software updates.
