Delphi has continued to develop its tool for technicians to access vehicle data with the integration of Volvo into its security gateway solution. The integration has been pushed out with the BluTech diagnostic tool’s latest software update, meaning it can now automatically obtain Volvo authorisation tokens. This allows technicians unrestricted access to diagnostic functions.
“Everyday tasks like reading and clearing fault codes are no longer straightforward on today’s connected vehicles,” said Phil Mitchell, European workshop solutions manager at Delphi. “Our solution streamlines this process, allowing technicians to efficiently perform their jobs without the hassle.”
Security gateways limit access to certain diagnostic functions, allowing only authorised access. It’s a process designed to safeguard connected vehicles from being compromised through hacking.
“Trying to manually gain access through these gateways is incredibly time consuming for busy workshops,” said Mitchell. “Technicians need a VM authorisation token for each job, requiring workshops to manage multiple portal accounts and handle the headache of purchasing credits and invoicing. Delphi is taking away that hassle by simplifying the whole process. Register once, and we’ll do the rest.”
Workshops using Delphi’s DS180 BlueTech diagnostics tool with DS car and light commercial vehicle software, get direct access to Iveco, Mercedes-Benz and Smart, Stellantis, Volkswagen Group and now also Volvo, with Renault and Dacia accessible via pass-thru.
Delphi’s automated security gateway allows garages to seamlessly service security-protected vehicles whilst DTC-assist functionality provides technicians with guided diagnostic assistance.
“Purchasing the diagnostic tool is just the starting point,” said Mitchell. “We offer complimentary e-learning diagnostic courses to software license holders, giving them the confidence to undertake complex diagnostic processes.”
Delphi said it will continue to expand VM coverage in future software releases. The company also offers training courses and further information through its website.
