Today’s vehicles contain huge amounts of electronic data and that information needs to be protected from potential cyberattacks and hacking. Illegal intrusion into a vehicle’s safety system can cause malfunctions and affect safety functions. Worst case, it could lead to fatal accidents on the roads.
Many vehicle manufacturers have started protecting their vehicles with diagnostic Security Gateway (SGW) and firewalls to prevent unauthorized access. The number of vehicle manufacturers that use SGW will increase. At Impact Diagnostics we think Autocom ICON offers one of the strongest solutions for vehicles fitted with a secure gateway. 

​Autocom Icon Security Gateway can access locked vehicles To be able to perform diagnosis on SGW-locked vehicles you need a diagnostic tool from an approved and OEM-certified supplier. Autocom is both approved and certified.
By using our diagnostic tool Autocom ICON, you can seamless erase fault codes, activate components or adjust and perform functions like service light reset on SGW-locked vehicles

Approved and certified solution

Our SGW solution is approved and certified by Mercedes-Benz. We have also added Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Jeep (FCA). Several car brands will be continuously added to our solution, such as all affected VAG (e.g Audi, Volkswagen, Škoda etc) and Renault.

The number of accessible SGW-locked vehicles will increase in our software continuously. It is therefore important to keep the license valid at all times.

Recently PSA Group have added the Tech2win subscription as standard included in the GDS2 Subscription. I think this is great news. I recently installed this remotely for a customer using Teamviewer and took some screengrabs along the way. This works with Passthru tools such as drewtech Mongoose GM, Drewtech cardaq, Cardaq m, Bosch KTS and even Ford VCM3. However it does not work with Autel Passthru :( you will need to make sure the relevantd drivers are installed. 

​Purchase the length of subscription required, in my case the customer already had a GDS2 license so didnt need to worry about ordering again. 

​Like with your GDS2 Installation java installation is critical so please check install now. JAVA WEBSITE
