OPS OBD2 diagnostic hardware kit for BMW & MINI incl. DIS & SSS

OPS OBD2 diagnostic hardware kit for BMW & MINI incl. DIS & SSS Review



OPS OBD2 diagnostic hardware kit for BMW & MINI incl. DIS & SSS Feature

  • OBD2 diagnosis, programming, Canbus
OPS diagnostic hardware kit for BMW DIS SSS & For motor vehicles after E65 BMW used for the first time fiber-optic cables as standard for communication between control units. The optical data buses are known for their high data transmission rate and they are not susceptible to electromagnetic interference. The optical buses in question are the MOST bus, which is used mainly for consumer electronics in the car, and the Byteflight bus, which is specifically responsible for safety standards. OPS was to code, identifying and programming (CIP) via the Software Service Station (SSS) was developed, and we saw before, use it as part of the BMW diagnostic system (DIS) from DISPlus and Group Tester to One (GT1). It is also intended for testing and programming tasks of the E65 series, and takes the place of the diagnostic head. OPS was developed for rapid programming of control units. If you use it at the SSS, no diagnostic or technical measurements are possible, as no measuring technology is involved, therefore OPPS / OPS is mainly used to program the control units (flashing). Communication with the vehicle to both via the MOST and via the OBD interface take place. The OBD interface is required to the OPPS / OPS to supply energy, and it has communication properties via which the vehicle can be identified, including the data to be programmed can be determined. From CIP version 7.0 on, it is possible to delete fault code memories via OPPS / OPS. Delivery: - OPS diagnostic head - New with 24 months warranty - 16 Pin OBD Cable - New with 24 months warranty - LAN cable (RJ45) - New with 24 months warranty - Hard disk for IBM T30 SSS with the programming software version 32 and 1 hard drive with DIS V57, in German language - used with 12 months warranty

Your Wireless Devices Are Now OBD-II Tools
Finally, an automotive scan device that truly allows you to take advantage of popular consumer wireless technology. The OT-2 is an OBD-II Wi-Fi/USB Interface for Smartphones and handheld devices with access to the LogWorks Mobile app, as well as PCs. Connecting to your vehicle's onboard computer network via its OBD-II (On Board Diagnostic) port, located under the dashboard and standard on virtually every car and light truck manufactured in the US since 1996, the OT-2's built-in 16-pin OBD-II connector is capable of reading up to 16 channels of diagnostic information generated by your vehicle�s onboard computer network and integrate it into an Innovate Modular Tuning System (MTS) "Log Chain." The OT-2 then makes this information available to you via your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad or PC as a hotspot (also via USB connection in the case of the PC).

The free LogWorks software channels this information into several different diagnostic datapoints. These include a dyno digital dashboard, a programmable system of performance oriented gauges; a fuel efficiency meter, allowing you to track your driving habits and see them in real-time; a data logger which allows you to track, record and even e-mail yourself different pieces of data for viewing offline; and an OBD-II scan tool which gives you the ability to read and erase diagnostic trouble codes and their definitions. Additional features include compatibility with all Innovate Motorsports MTS (Modular Tuning System) devices, the ability to update the OT-2's firmware via a USB connection to the Internet and access to select LogWorks Mobile software functionality without an OT-2 connection.

What is OBD-II
Beginning in the 1980s new cars and trucks began to be wired with a variety of computerized diagnostic systems designed to improve efficiencies, simplify troubleshooting and minimize the need for repairs. These systems produce indicators known as diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) internally, usually indicating something out of the ordinary by illuminating the "check engine"/malfunction indicator light (MIL) on the dashboard of your car. In the 1990s these systems, codes and the hardware connectors used to access them were standardized in North America as OBD (Onboard Diagnostics) and later OBD-II. Automotive technicians have long utilized specialized high-end machinery to read these codes, passing the costs on to consumers, but now you can get access to the same diagnostic codes and additional information quickly and inexpensively right on your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and PC with Innovate Motorsports' OT-2.
