ALLDATA, an AutoZone company, is marking its 11th year at the
annual SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) exhibition
with the launch of ALLDATA Diagnostics. This next-generation
technology turns a tablet (Android, Windows 10, or iOS) into a
powerful, professional scan tool – an industry first. It’s the only
scan tool solution with ALLDATA Repair® or ALLDATA Collision® built
in, which means that codes link directly to relevant OEM-direct
articles, as well as ALLDATA’s new interactive color wiring
diagrams.

Instead of housing scan tool software in a bulky, hand-held
unit, ALLDATA Diagnostics has a Vehicle Connection Interface (VCI)
device that attaches to the vehicle’s OBDII port. It links
wirelessly via Bluetooth to an Android, Windows 10, or iOS tablet,
giving techs the flexibility to perform scan tool functions
directly on the tablet from whatever location in or around the
vehicle best suits their needs. This functionality is a first in
the scan tool market, and only ALLDATA has it.
The VCI device is included in the ALLDATA Diagnostics
subscription price, eliminating hefty up-front costs for shops. The
system works with Android, Windows 10, or iOS tablets and requires
a subscription to ALLDATA Repair or ALLDATA Collision. There’s no
charge for software or data updates; they’re included in the
subscription price. ALLDATA Diagnostics will be available for
pre-sale at SEMA.
“We’re thrilled to bring this game-changing scan tool solution
to our customers,” said Mitch Major, Vice President, Commercial
Support, AutoZone and President, ALLDATA. “In addition to the
convenience of fully-integrated access to ALLDATA Repair or
Collision, shops can repurpose their own computer tablet and turn
it into a scan tool.”
ALLDATA Diagnostics delivers all the functionality technicians
expect in a professional-level scan tool, with coverage for
domestic, Asian, and European vehicles. They can retrieve and clear
manufacturer P, B, C, and U codes. The scan tool also reads and
displays PIDs, providing live sensor data from all modules/vehicle
systems and offers bi-directional component control.
In addition, ALLDATA Diagnostics offers full-system pre- and
post-DTC scan reporting. Shops can create detailed estimates and
repair cars back to OEM standards. Collision shops can perform pre-
and post-scans with PDF exports to insure vehicles are repaired
back to pre-accident OEM condition, a requirement mandated with
increasing frequency by insurers and OEMs.
Come see what’s new at SEMA Booth 10631, North
HallThroughout SEMA, ALLDATA representatives will be doing
live demonstrations of the company’s flagship products, ALLDATA
Repair and ALLDATA Collision, featuring the addition of 300,000 new
