The Vident iSmart diagnostic tool is a professional car diagnostic tablet in workshop quality for independent workshops and commercial use. Unlimited use without expensive updates: this device does not switch off, so you can use it without limitation – at no additional cost for updates!

The Vident iSmart offers absolute in-depth diagnostics and is professional measuring equipment for everyday workshop use.

The devices are leasing returns from a company in another EU country. After purchase you receive a 12-month warranty in the event of defects and 24 months of free telephone support.

The Vident iSmart is aimed in particular at users who need in-depth system diagnostics and do not simply want to use basic OBD readout functions. Modern vehicles have a large number of networked control units that are responsible for engine management, chassis, safety systems and comfort functions. 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 exactly where the Vident iSmart comes in. Thanks to its extensive software structure, the device enables diagnostics at control unit level, so that even complex fault patterns can be analysed systematically. These characteristics make the system interesting both for independent workshops and for specialised diagnostic businesses.

Technical principles of modern vehicle diagnostics

Communication with electronic control units

Depending on their equipment, modern vehicles have between 20 and over 100 electronic control units. These communicate with each other via various bus systems such as CAN, LIN or FlexRay. The Vident iSmart uses a powerful communication interface in order to address these systems specifically and read out diagnostic data.

Communication takes place via standardised protocols such as:

• ISO 9141
• KWP2000
• CAN bus
• UDS (Unified Diagnostic Services)
• SAE J1850

Thanks to support for these protocols, the Vident iSmart can communicate with a very wide range of vehicles – from early OBD2 vehicles through to modern models with complex network technology.

Fault code analysis and system diagnostics

Reading out fault codes is a central part of vehicle diagnostics. In many cases, however, it is not enough simply to clear a code. What matters is the interpretation of the stored data. The Vident iSmart therefore supplies not only codes, but also additional information such as:

• Fault description
• System assignment
• Environmental data at the time of the fault
• Live sensor data for analysis

This makes it possible to analyse faults systematically and to narrow down the actual cause.

Platform for diagnostic systems and additional modules

The Windows-based setup of the Vident iSmart allows not only classic diagnostic software, but also the integration of additional modules that simplify everyday workflows in the workshop. These include, for example, oscilloscope extensions, video endoscopes or OE information portals. Workshops that specialise in systematic fault finding in particular benefit from combining several tools on a single terminal.

Advantage over tablet-based diagnostic solutions

Compared with pure Android or proprietary diagnostic tablets, the Vident iSmart offers the advantage of providing a classic computer environment. Applications can be extended, data exported and maintenance protocols processed further directly. This workflow is considerably faster, especially for technical reports, warranty claims or diagnostic attachments.

Areas of application in practice

Thanks to the large number of service functions, the Vident iSmart is suitable for a wide variety of workshop types – from classic independent workshops through to specialists for diesel, 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 with complex fault patterns

Many modern faults do not occur permanently, but only under load, with temperature changes or in certain driving situations. Real-time values and graphic evaluation make it possible to trace such faults precisely. Comparative values against known standard parameters also simplify diagnostics and reduce misinterpretations.

Supported vehicle 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 fully supported up to 2025. Which vehicles and functions are actually available always depends on the manufacturer, model, model year and control unit. The 3-year update guarantee ensures that coverage keeps growing and that new vehicle models are added continuously.

Practical benefit of the wide range of adapters

The large number of adapters ensures that older OBD1 variants and brand-specific special connectors are also supported. This point is particularly decisive for vehicles from the 90s and the early 2000s, as many modern universal devices no longer cover these systems.

Support for professional workshop processes

Documentation of diagnostic results

An important part of modern workshop work is the documentation of diagnostics and repairs. The Vident iSmart makes it possible to save extensive diagnostic reports. These can be used for internal documentation or for informing the customer.

Traceable documentation is particularly decisive for warranty work or complex repairs in order to present workflows transparently.

Support for systematic fault finding

The combination of fault codes, live data and actuator tests allows systematic fault finding. Mechanics can, for example, compare sensor values directly with target values or activate actuators specifically in order to check their function.

This makes it possible to narrow down many faults more quickly and to avoid unnecessary part replacements.

Technical added value for diagnostics and maintenance

The Vident iSmart represents a comprehensive platform for professional vehicle diagnostics in independent workshops. The combination of broad vehicle coverage, in-depth diagnostic functions and an expandable system structure enables efficient analysis of modern vehicle systems.

Thanks to support for numerous control units and diagnostic protocols, the system is suitable both for maintenance work and for complex fault finding in commercial use. Workshops benefit in particular from the ability to combine diagnostics, documentation and system analysis on one central platform.
