Software functionalities improvement

Various functionalities and minor bug fixes have been implemented in this version. Below are the main enhancements:

Expert mode on PSA vehiclesThe Expert mode has been made more responsive than before, in PSA vehicles. This results in improving the access and the speed of expansion of the treeview for Engine systems

Improvement of the ISS report loading functionLoading the Intelligent System Scan report could take too long in some cases, resulting in the software hanging and the functionality being degraded. This function has been improved the software version 2017.21 making it possible to better manage the ISS reports for all the applications. This is particularly visible on Peugeot and Citroën brands, compared to the previous version of software.

Volvo FM iSHIFT – New clutch calibrationImplemented an additional functionality: “Programming clutch drag point”.This gives the possibility to perform the calibration of clutches having extreme settings.Without this new function, the calibration procedure would fail in the cases where the clutch wearing characteristics are above a certain limit.

Product Piracy – The Facts

99 percent of counterfeit hardware is sold online. Delphi only sell through authorized distributors and retailers

Software updates can only be completed with a genuine software License, and is a download only. Licenses are only sold through authorized distributors and retailers

Using pirated hardware and software could potentially compromise the vehicle’s integrity during diagnosis and repair resulting in unrepairable damage

Counterfeit hardware may not be capable of running the correct tests or decoding the information within the vehicle ECU

Pirated software has been found to be a very early hacked version (E.g. 2.13.3) made to look newer. The genuine software has grown – 68 Car and 73 Truck brands covering over 1856 models across all systems

The very old hacked version is sometimes labelled 2014, 2015 or 2016 software and is sold online. This doesn’t reflect Delphi genuine software and is far behind the current version sold by Delphi through the authorized distributors.

‘Delphi’ logo on the pirated hardware is of poor quality and incorrectly positioned

Genuine hardware has a rubber outer case. The pirated version is hard plastic

The upper part of the genuine hardware has a smooth matt finish. The pirated hardware is a cheap, rough, glossy coating

Only genuine hardware has full Bluetooth connectivity. Pirated versions do not.

Pirated hardware displays a fake CE marking, showing the product was ‘Made In China’. Genuine hardware displays an official CE marking, stating the product was ‘Made In Sweden’

Pirated hardware displays an out of serial number. If the unit displays ‘100251’, then the unit is fake

Pirated hardware is not capable of the ‘Flight Recorder’ function due to missing components within the unit

Genuine Delphi software will not ask you for a license key for activation

RememberCheap diagnostic tools aren’t good, good diagnostic tools aren’t cheap
