Vident iSmart900 – Professional vehicle diagnostic tool for all vehicles from 1994 to 2024
Unlimited use without expensive updates: This device does not shut down, so you can use it indefinitely – without any additional costs for updates!
Now NEW: Supports all vehicles from 1994 to 2024. Please note that this is not compatible with systems like Autocom, Modiag, or Carsoft. The Vident iSmart900 offers comprehensive diagnostics and is professional-grade measuring equipment with a recommended retail price of over €3800.
The devices are lease returns from a company in another EU country. After purchase, you receive a 12-month warranty against defects and 24 months of free telephone support.
The Vident iSmart900 is specifically designed for users who require in-depth system diagnostics and want more than just basic OBD readout functions. Modern vehicles have a multitude of networked control units responsible for engine management, chassis, safety systems, and comfort features. A powerful diagnostic system must therefore not only display fault codes but also provide access to live data, coding, adaptations, and actuator tests.
This is precisely where the Vident iSmart900 comes in. Its comprehensive software architecture enables diagnostics at the control unit level, allowing even complex fault patterns to be systematically analyzed. These features make the system attractive to both independent workshops and specialized diagnostic centers.
Technical fundamentals of modern vehicle diagnostics
Communication with electronic control units
Modern vehicles, depending on their equipment, have between 20 and over 100 electronic control units (ECUs). These communicate with each other via various bus systems such as CAN, LIN, or FlexRay. The Vident iSmart900 uses a high-performance communication interface to address these systems and read diagnostic data.
Communication takes place via standardized protocols such as:
- ISO 9141
- KWP2000
- CAN bus
- UDS (Unified Diagnostic Services)
- SAE J1850
By supporting these protocols, the Vident iSmart900 can communicate with a very wide range of vehicles – from early OBD2 vehicles to modern models with complex network technology.
Error code analysis and system diagnostics
A key component of vehicle diagnostics is reading fault codes. However, in many cases, simply clearing a code is insufficient. The interpretation of the stored data is crucial. Therefore, the Vident iSmart900 not only provides codes but also additional information such as:
- Error description
- System assignment
- Environmental data at the time of the error
- Live sensor data for analysis
This makes it possible to systematically analyze errors and narrow down the actual cause.
Product description
- Vehicle coverage: Over 78 American, European and Asian brands from 1994 to 2024.
- Diagnostic functions: Full functionality for codes, live data, freeze frame, function tests, ECU information, adaptation, matching and coding for numerous vehicle systems.
- Service functions: Performs important services such as oil service, mileage interval reset, EPB, ABS, SRS, BCM/SIR reset, DPF regeneration, steering angle sensor calibration and battery configuration.
- Fast diagnostics: Automatic and manual VIN identification for quick access to control units. One-touch auto-scan with code reading and clearing, as well as vehicle-specific system recognition.
- Live data analysis: Customized live data in text and graphic form, capable of displaying up to four data points simultaneously.
- Data Manager: Stores thousands of vehicle data entries, customer data, vehicle IDs, fault codes, repair instructions, and diagnostic results.
- Data logging: Interactive data logging sessions and remote control enable direct contact with Vident Technical for rapid troubleshooting.
- Windows-based system: Supports additional applications such as oscilloscope, video scope, and technical OE data.
- Free updates: 3 years of free software updates included.
- Free support: 24 months of telephone support after purchase.
Platform for diagnostic systems and add-on modules
The Windows-based setup of the Vident iSmart900 allows not only classic diagnostic software but also the integration of add-on modules that simplify daily workflows in the workshop. These include, for example, oscilloscope extensions, video endoscopes, and OEM information portals. Workshops specializing in systemic fault finding, in particular, benefit from combining multiple tools on a single terminal.
Advantage over tablet-based diagnostic solutions
Compared to purely Android or proprietary diagnostic tablets, the Vident iSmart900 offers the advantage of a traditional computer environment. Applications can be extended, data exported, and maintenance logs processed directly. This workflow is significantly faster, especially for technical reports, warranty claims, or diagnostic attachments.
Performance overview
- Intuitive touchscreen interface
- Service reset
- Expandable hardware slots
- Reading and clearing control unit fault codes
- Detailed error code explanations
- Vehicle-specific repair assistance
- Actuator test and real-time parameter display
- Interactive color circuit diagrams
- Storage of vehicle histories
- Programming and coding of individual control units

Practical applications
Thanks to its wide range of service functions, the Vident iSmart900 is suitable for a variety of workshop types – from traditional independent garages to specialist workshops for diesel engines, electronics, or vehicle coding. Used car dealers also benefit, as control unit data can be documented before the sale and faults rectified before delivery.
Live data analysis for complex fault patterns
Many modern faults do not occur continuously, but only under load, during temperature changes, or in specific driving situations. Real-time data and graphical analysis allow for precise tracking of such faults. Comparing values to known standard parameters also facilitates diagnosis and reduces misinterpretations.
Supported vehicle brands
Alfa-Romeo, Audi, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Citroen, Dacia, Daewoo, Daihatsu, Dodge, Fiat, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Isuzu, Iveco, Jaguar, Jeep, Kia, Lada, Lancia, Land Rover, LDV, Lexus, Lincoln, Mazda, Mercedes, MG, Mini, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Proton, Renault, Rover, Saab, Seat, Skoda, Smart, SsangYong, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota, TVR, Volvo, VW and many more.
Support for specific vehicle segments
In addition to standard passenger cars, the system also covers many light commercial vehicles, which is particularly interesting for delivery services, fleet operators, and service companies. This broad coverage eliminates the need for additional brand-specific devices.
Scope of delivery
- Panasonic Toughbook CF-53 (Refurbished) including 3 years of updates
- Vident Bluetooth Multiplexer
- OBD2 diagnostic cable
- OBDII adapter
- charger
- Mercedes Benz 38-Pin Adapter
- Fiat 3-Pin Adapter
- GM / Daewoo 12-Pin Adapter
- BMW 20-Pin Adapter
- Kia 20-pin adapter
- Nissan 14-pin adapter

Practical benefits of the wide variety of adapters
The wide range of adapters ensures that older OBD1 versions and brand-specific connectors are also supported. This is particularly important for vehicles from the 1990s and early 2000s, as many modern universal devices no longer support these systems.
Support for professional workshop processes
Documentation of diagnostic results
Documenting diagnoses and repairs is a crucial aspect of modern workshop operations. The Vident iSmart900 allows for the storage of comprehensive diagnostic reports. These can be used for internal documentation or to inform customers.
Especially in warranty work or complex repairs, comprehensible documentation is crucial to transparently illustrate work processes.
Support with systematic troubleshooting
The combination of fault codes, live data, and actuator tests allows for systematic troubleshooting. For example, mechanics can directly compare sensor values with target values or selectively control actuators to check their function.
This allows many errors to be identified more quickly and unnecessary parts replacements to be avoided.
Added technical value for diagnostics and maintenance
The Vident iSmart900 represents a comprehensive platform for professional vehicle diagnostics. The combination of broad vehicle coverage, in-depth diagnostic functions, and expandable system architecture enables efficient analysis of modern vehicle systems.
Thanks to its support for numerous control units and diagnostic protocols, the system is suitable for both maintenance work and complex troubleshooting. Workshops particularly benefit from the ability to combine diagnostics, documentation, and system analysis on a central platform.
