Read full descriptionHide full description
RemoteService Connect connects your vehicle to your workshop for the duration of an agreed remote session. HOW IT WORKS ⢠Your workshop gives you a session code ā or a link or QR code. ⢠Connect your iPhone or iPad to the vehicle with the cable, adapter or interface your workshop specifies: ā Ethernet diagnostic cable on a USB-C Ethernet adapter ā Wi-Fi diagnostic adapter ā ICOM diagnostic interface, connected directly to the iPhone or iPad via a USB-C Ethernet adapter or in the same network ⢠Over the Ethernet diagnostic cable, vehicles of many manufacturers with DoIP are supported as well ā you simply choose the brand. ⢠The app recognizes on its own what is connected. ⢠Enter the code. While the session runs, your workshop can diagnose and code your vehicle as if it were on site. WHAT YOU SEE ⢠Automatic detection of the cable, adapter or interface ā and a step-by-step guide if something is still missing ⢠A notice while your iPhone or iPad sets up the connection, and a notice if the connection to the vehicle is interrupted ā the app reconnects on its own ⢠Connection quality and your vehicle's battery voltage ⢠A chat with your workshop ā text, photos and videos ⢠On iPhone, the running session on the Lock Screen ⢠One tap ends the session at any time. WHAT THE APP DOES NOT DO ⢠It never works on your vehicle on its own and only talks to it during a session you started. ⢠Nothing happens without a valid code from your workshop. ⢠No account, no ads, no tracking. SECURITY ⢠Encrypted connections. The chat and ā by default ā the diagnostic connection are end-to-end encrypted between your device and your workshop. ⢠Your workshop can additionally require end-to-end encryption and servers in the EU. YOU NEED ⢠A session code from your workshop ⢠The cable, adapter or interface your workshop specifies ā for a cable or interface connected directly to the device, a USB-C Ethernet adapter ⢠Keep the app open during the session ā iOS pauses apps in the background. ⢠Follow your workshop's instructions, e.g. switch on the ignition or connect a battery charger. The app is free and has no in-app purchases. Sessions are provided by your workshop.
