A quick introduction from James, our AI presenter.

Touchscreen Windows Diagnostic & ECU Remapping Netbook Kit

A complete professional automotive diagnostic and ECU remapping package supplied with a Grade B touchscreen Windows netbook, professional multi-brand diagnostic VCI, 8 additional diagnostic adapter leads and aluminium storage case.

This package is ideal for garages, mechanics, mobile technicians and experienced automotive users who want a compact Windows-based diagnostic system with additional adapter coverage for older and non-standard vehicle connections.

The system is supplied with the automotive software already installed and configured, together with training material and 12 months of Diagnostic Central professional technical support.

Over 15 Years of Diagnostic Experience & More Than 15,000 Customers

Diagnostic Central has specialised in automotive diagnostic equipment for approximately 15 years and has supplied diagnostic products and equipment to more than 15,000 customers.

Before concentrating on our own website, we were also a high-volume eBay seller, regularly supplying around 10 complete diagnostic systems per day alongside a much larger range of automotive diagnostic equipment, interfaces, cables and accessories.

More importantly, we don’t simply sell diagnostic equipment – we are mechanics and use diagnostic equipment ourselves in real workshop environments.

That hands-on experience influences the hardware we select, the software we supply, the training included with our systems and the technical support we provide after the sale.

When you buy a Diagnostic Central system, you’re buying from an established UK automotive diagnostic specialist with years of hands-on workshop experience and thousands of systems already supplied.

Additional automotive utilities and supporting software may also be installed depending on the current configuration of our systems.

Training Included – We Don’t Just Give You the Equipment

Professional diagnostic and ECU equipment is only useful if you understand how to use it.

That’s why our complete systems also include training material to help customers become familiar with the equipment and software supplied.

• Approximately 6 hours of ECU remapping and map-editing training videos
• Training covering the principles of reading, modifying and writing ECU files
• Guidance covering use of the supplied ECU read/write equipment
• Diagnostic training videos covering common vehicle diagnostic procedures
• Supporting material to help you understand the supplied diagnostic and ECU software

12 Months Diagnostic Central Professional Technical Support

This is one of the biggest differences between buying a Diagnostic Central system and simply purchasing diagnostic equipment online.

Every complete system includes 12 months of access to our professional technical support team.

Our support department consists of six trained mechanics, each with a minimum of 10 years’ experience.

This means you’re dealing with people who understand vehicles, diagnostic procedures and real workshop problems rather than a general customer-service department reading from a script.

Our support team is available:

• Monday to Saturday: 9:00am – 9:00pm
• Sunday: 4:00pm – 9:00pm

During your 12-month support period we can assist with:

• Using the supplied diagnostic equipment
• Using the diagnostic software
• Locating functions within the software
• General mechanical and diagnostic advice
• Help interpreting diagnostic information
• Troubleshooting equipment and software problems
• Guidance with common diagnostic procedures
• Remote assistance through AnyDesk
• Remote correction of software/configuration problems where possible
• Demonstrating supported diagnostic procedures directly on your own system

If you get stuck, our team can often connect remotely to your netbook using AnyDesk, see exactly what you are seeing and either correct the problem or show you how to perform the required diagnostic procedure.

This is genuine ongoing technical support for 12 months – not simply a product warranty or an email address to contact if something stops working.

Professional Multi-Brand Vehicle Diagnostics

The supplied Delphi/Autocom and WOW software provides extensive multi-brand diagnostic coverage across cars, vans and commercial vehicles.

Depending on the vehicle, production year and fitted control modules, available functions can include:

• Read and erase diagnostic trouble codes
• Manufacturer-specific diagnostics
• Full vehicle/system scanning
• EOBD / OBD-II communication
• Real-time live data
• Engine management diagnostics
• ABS diagnostics
• SRS / airbag diagnostics
• Transmission / gearbox diagnostics
• Climate control diagnostics
• Instrument cluster diagnostics
• Body and comfort system diagnostics
• Immobiliser diagnostics
• TPMS diagnostics on supported vehicles
• Service interval reset
• DPF/FAP diagnostic and service functions
• Adaptations and adjustments where supported
• Actuator and component testing where supported

Available functions vary according to vehicle manufacturer, model, production year, engine and fitted control modules.

Intelligent System Scan – ISS

On supported vehicles, Intelligent System Scan can scan multiple control systems and display the fault codes stored within them.

This provides a quick overview of the vehicle before allowing you to enter an individual control system for more detailed diagnosis.

Intelligent System Identification – ISI

Intelligent System Identification helps identify the compatible controller fitted to the vehicle and automatically select the appropriate diagnostic parameters.

Automatic VIN Identification

On supported vehicles, the diagnostic software can read the Vehicle Identification Number directly from the vehicle and use this information to assist with identifying the correct vehicle configuration.

Live Data

View real-time information from compatible sensors and control modules while the vehicle is operating.

Live data is particularly useful when diagnosing intermittent or performance-related faults where a stored fault code alone does not provide enough information.

Flight Recorder

Where supported by the selected diagnostic VCI, the flight recorder function allows diagnostic parameters to be recorded during a road test.

This can be particularly useful when investigating intermittent faults that only occur under particular driving conditions.

Vehicle Voltage Monitoring

Supported diagnostic interfaces can monitor vehicle supply voltage during diagnostic operation and provide a warning if the voltage becomes unsuitable.

Maintaining stable vehicle voltage is particularly important during diagnostic procedures, adaptations and programming operations.

Older & Non-Standard Diagnostic Connections

The additional adapter leads supplied with this package are particularly useful when working on older vehicles that do not use the standard 16-pin diagnostic connector.

The exact adapter required depends on vehicle manufacturer and model, and the presence of an adapter does not guarantee that every function will be available on every vehicle.

However, having the adapter set available gives the workshop considerably more flexibility when dealing with older vehicle generations.

ECU Reading, Writing & Remapping

In addition to vehicle diagnostics, this package includes a separate ECU read/write and remapping interface together with supporting software.

This allows experienced users to read compatible ECU files from supported vehicles, work with those files using the supplied software and write compatible files back to supported ECUs.

The package also includes WinOLS and additional ECU-related applications for users wishing to learn about ECU map files and calibration editing.

DPF, EGR & Lambda ECU Software

The system includes separate specialist software applications for identifying and working with relevant areas of supported ECU files, including DPF, EGR and Lambda/O2-related ECU data.

ECU Safe and additional ECU utilities are also included.

Important: Any modification to a vehicle’s emissions-control system must comply with the law applicable to the vehicle and its intended use. The inclusion of software capable of modifying ECU files does not mean that every possible modification is legal for use on public roads.

ECU Remapping Training & Live Support – Important Distinction

The package includes extensive training material for ECU reading, writing and map editing, but our live 12-month technical support service does not include advising customers what changes to make to an individual vehicle’s ECU map.

When assisting remotely, we cannot physically inspect the vehicle, independently verify its exact ECU configuration or guarantee that all vehicle, VIN and ECU information supplied to us is correct.

Incorrect ECU identification, an unsuitable file or incorrect data being written to an ECU can corrupt or lock the control unit and potentially prevent the vehicle from starting.

For this reason, we do not remotely instruct customers what map modifications to make to a particular vehicle.

Instead, approximately 6 hours of ECU remapping and map-editing training videos are supplied so customers wishing to learn can understand the equipment, software and principles involved.

Our normal 12-month support remains available for the diagnostic equipment, diagnostic software, general mechanical/diagnostic assistance and system troubleshooting.

Why Buy From Diagnostic Central?

Diagnostic equipment that looks the same externally is not necessarily the same internally.

Over approximately 15 years specialising in automotive diagnostic equipment, we have tested and used a wide range of diagnostic interfaces from different manufacturers and suppliers.

Our workshop experience has shown substantial differences between apparently similar diagnostic interfaces in areas including:

• Internal component quality
• Circuit-board construction
• Communication circuitry
• Relays and electronic components
• Overall build quality
• Vehicle communication reliability
• Long-term reliability

Two diagnostic interfaces can look almost identical in an online photograph while being very different internally.

Our equipment is selected based on years of experience testing and using diagnostic hardware in real workshop environments rather than simply choosing the cheapest available hardware.

Grade B Refurbished Touchscreen Netbook

Please note that the touchscreen netbook supplied with this package is a Grade B refurbished unit.

Every computer is fully tested and fully functional before being configured as a Diagnostic Central diagnostic system.

Grade B means the netbook will show cosmetic signs of previous use. Depending on the individual unit, this may include:

• Scratches or marks to the casing
• Scuffs and general cosmetic wear
• Wear around edges or corners
• Marks to the rear casing
• Light cosmetic wear to the screen

These cosmetic marks do not affect the operation of the netbook or diagnostic system.

The touchscreen netbook is Grade B refurbished. All other equipment supplied with the package is new unless specifically stated otherwise.

Computer Specification & Substitution

The exact make, model, colour and specification of the touchscreen netbook may vary according to stock availability.

We reserve the right to substitute the computer for another unit of equal or higher specification and/or value where required.

We will never intentionally downgrade the computer specification, and the supplied software package will remain equivalent.

Product photographs are for illustration purposes and the computer supplied may differ cosmetically or by model.

Choose Your Diagnostic VCI

This package is available with a choice of diagnostic interfaces, allowing you to select the VCI that best suits your requirements and budget.

The exact availability of individual diagnostic features can vary according to the VCI selected and vehicle being tested.

24V Commercial Vehicle Use

If you intend to use the diagnostic interface on a 24V vehicle, we recommend purchasing our 24V to 12V OBD Power Supply Adapter.

Important Vehicle & ECU Coverage Information

No multi-brand diagnostic or ECU programming system supports every function on every vehicle or ECU.

Diagnostic coverage depends on the vehicle manufacturer, model, production year, engine, communication system and individual control modules fitted.

ECU read/write coverage also varies according to ECU manufacturer, ECU type, hardware/software version and available communication method.

If you require a particular diagnostic or ECU function on a specific vehicle, please contact Diagnostic Central before ordering with the vehicle and ECU details where available. We will advise on suitability wherever possible.
