Extensive vehicle coverage for workshops

The Vident iSmart supports over 110 car brands. Multi-brand workshops in particular benefit from being able to work on virtually all common vehicles with just one diagnostic system.

Cars up to model year 2025. The supported functions differ depending on the vehicle model, the model year and the control unit.

Supported brands

Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Citroën, Dacia, Daewoo, Daihatsu, Dodge, Fiat, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Isuzu, Iveco, Jaguar, Jeep, Kia, Lada, Lancia, Land Rover, Lexus, Lincoln, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, MG, Mini, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Proton, Renault, Rover, Saab, Seat, Škoda, Smart, SsangYong, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota, Volvo, Volkswagen and many more.

Important note on vehicle coverage: The statement "up to model year 2025" describes the overall period that the device can cover across all supported brands – it does not mean that every brand or every model is automatically supported in full up to 2025. Which vehicles and functions are actually available always depends on the manufacturer, the model, the model year and the control unit. The 3-year update guarantee ensures that coverage grows continuously and that new vehicle models are added on an ongoing basis.

Live data analysis & sensor diagnostics

The system enables the graphical display of live data from various sensors and control units. Workshops can compare several measured values at the same time and narrow down fault conditions more quickly.

• Lambda and air mass values
• Injection times
• Turbocharger pressure
• Temperatures and pressure values
• Target/actual comparisons

Particularly with intermittent faults or loss of power, live diagnostics provide important clues as to the cause of the fault.

Freeze frame analysis

Stored operating data from the moment a fault occurred helps to better understand complex fault patterns. This makes it possible to avoid unnecessary parts replacement and to carry out repairs in a more targeted way.

Service functions for maintenance and repair

The Vident iSmart supports numerous service and maintenance functions for modern vehicles.

• Oil service reset
• EPB service function
• ABS & SRS diagnostics
• DPF regeneration
• Steering angle sensor calibration
• Service interval reset
• BCM/SIR reset

Depending on the vehicle model, the available service functions may vary.
