FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. — Mahle Aftermarket Inc. is launching a second generation of its workshop diagnostic tools Mahle TechPRO and Brain Bee Connex.
The developers have redesigned the user interface and improved usability further, the company said, so it now guides workshop teams intuitively and more efficiently through the respective application, enabling smooth vehicle diagnostics.
All important tools are available at a glance to simplify the workflow; the new VCI connector with integrated DoIP (Diagnostics over Internet Protocol) enables flexible and powerful diagnostics of vehicle systems via the internet; and the robust housing is specially designed for everyday workshop use, according to Mahle.
"Digitalization is finding its way into independent workshops. This makes it all the more important to provide teams with a diagnostic tool that meets the new requirements and supports them in their work. With TechPRO 2, we're making workshops fit for the digital future," Philipp Grosse Kleimann, head of the aftermarket business unit, said.
The tools feature icons and video tutorials to guide technicians through the diagnostic process in a self-explanatory manner. An integrated camera captures the vehicle identification number with one click and starts the correct application automatically.
The new Smart Scan function provides workshop staff with additional information on the fault codes read from the vehicle, such as OEM service bulletins, recall data and repair tips.
With the flexible license models, the diagnostic device can be configured according to individual requirements. Shops can book diagnostic level, subscription terms and accessory packages according to their individual requirements, the company said.
Existing customers of previous versions continue to receive support and benefit from regular updates.
TechPRO 2 and Brain Bee Connex 2 are also compatible with the Mahle Cyber Security Pass (MCS Pass) so independent shops can continue to access vehicle diagnostic data that is encrypted by security gateways.
