With a powerful troubleshooter to handle problems, service stays service.

ContiSys

Easy, quick and safe

Today, even “simple” jobs often require electronic aids.

The EOBD Hand Scanner ContiSys OBD lends itself to

just these cases.

Range of functions

A number of other important functions can be carried

out in addition to EOBD engine trouble shooting. These

include resetting the service interval indicators (incl.

Condition Based Service, CBS), acti va ting electronic

parking brakes, and checking ABS and SRS (airbags

and pretensioners) as well as air conditioning.

Today’s standards require modern vehicles be equipped with more than one electronic control unit. Engine con-

trols have been joined by safety, body control systems, chassis controls, and often more. If a problem arises, only

first-class testing technology programmed with up-to-date, userfriendly diagnostic software can help.

Computer-aided high performance

In order to fully respond to service demands, often even

more power ful diagnostic solutions are needed. This

is exactly where ContiSys VCI comes in, whether it is

to augment ContiSys OBD or as a solution that will

stand alone in the workshop. In addition to well-known

ContiSys OBD functions, a broad range of other tests

can be carried out by using the simple and intuitive

computer software ContiSys DSI together with

ContiSys OBD. Windows™ software compatible, it runs

on all current computers. The vehicle interface com-

municates via a modern, secure WLAN port with any

workshop PC.

Rugged hardware for the daily grind

VDO offers a sturdy solution in order to meet the tough

challenges of the workshop: the ContiSys PAD tablet

PC. A computer specially developed for tough work-

shop environments, it takes the most difficult condi-

tions in stride.

Compact, high-performance and always up-to-date:

The OBD scanner with a plus.

A compact troubleshooting device must enable me-

chanics to make quick EOBD control unit diagnoses

for many cars. ContiSys OBD offers far more than that:

It supports many service and test functions (not limit-

ed to EOBD vehicles) that professionals regularly need

in the workshop daily. Systems such as ABS, SRS

(airbags and pretensioners), electronic parking brakes

(EPB) or air conditioning can be checked simply and

quickly. And it goes without saying that resetting service

interval indicators and correct adjustment of steering

angle sensors are part of its repertoire.

ContiSys OBD has a self-explanatory, easy-to-use

menu structure. The function keys are large and clear.

Understandable symbols make navigation through

user menus simple. And if the need ever arises, an in-

tegrated help system and accompanying CD-ROM

handbook can quickly provide the required know-how.

But ContiSys OBD can do even more

To meet the range of rapidly changing service de-

mands, VDO offers a Software Update Service: With

an annual subscription to ContiSys Update Plus it is

a mouse click away to ensure the test unit and its ad-

vantageous features remain up-to-date.

But there is no obligation to subscribe to this service.

The user can decide how current the function range of

the testing unit should be.

ContiSys PAD is the newest hardware generation

testing unit for the automobile industry

Its modern CPU design ensures long-term component

availability while keeping up with the demands of inno-

vation.

Suitable for use across the full range of brands, the

ContiSys PAD not only sets a performance standard, it

also meets all the tough requirements of workshop

operations.

Beyond that, the ContiSys PAD is flexible and easy to

handle. Light weight and small dimensions allow easy,

flexible, wireless use: using Class 2 Bluetooth radio

technology and 802.11 n standard WLAN. And hard

disk drive (HDD) changes without tools are just as

much a matter of course as removing a battery.

ContiSys PAD

A control center system: The diagnostic software.

ContiSys DSI

ContiSys DSI diagnostic software is the heart of the

multi-brand diagnostic system ContiSys VCI. Among

other things this is where the choice of vehicle, identi -

fi cation of vehicle systems, the activation of compo-

nents and the recording of data takes place. The user

can get help for repair problems and branch into other

software modules (e. g. catalogues). Despite the diver-

sity of functions, the software is self-explanatory and

can be used without any special training.

And if you still need help now and then, the hotline is

always there to help you.
