Autocom serves as a comprehensive diagnostic hub for professional mechanics and fleet technicians who require deep access to vehicle electronic control units (ECUs). Designed to work in tandem with the ICON hardware interface, this software suite—comprising separate CARS and TRUCKS modules—enables users to communicate with practically every system in a vehicle, from engine management to advanced safety sensors. Unlike basic OBDII readers that only skim the surface of emissions data, Autocom provides dealer-level insight, allowing for bi-directional control, coding, and complex system adaptations on Windows 10 and Windows 11 environments.
Key Features
- Secure Gateway (SGW) Access: Solves the growing challenge of locked modern vehicles by acting as a certified bridge to manufacturer security servers. This feature allows technicians to legally and easily unlock ECUs on brands like Mercedes-Benz, Fiat, Chrysler, and Volkswagen to clear codes and perform active tests.
- Intelligent System Scan (ISS): Scans every controllable system in the vehicle automatically to generate a complete health report. Instead of checking modules one by one, ISS pulls fault codes from the transmission, ABS, airbag, and climate control systems in a single pass, displaying a quick overview of the vehicle's condition.
- Flight Recorder: Captures real-time sensor data directly to the hardware unit while the vehicle is being driven, without requiring a laptop in the passenger seat. This is critical for diagnosing intermittent faults that only occur under specific load or driving conditions, allowing mechanics to analyze the data safely back at the workshop.
- ADAS Calibration Support: Includes dedicated workflows for calibrating Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, such as lane departure cameras and adaptive cruise control radars. The software guides users through the precise setup targets and conditions needed to recalibrate these safety-critical systems after windshield replacements or collision repairs.
- Guided Diagnostics: Goes beyond simple error codes by linking specific faults to probable causes and verification steps. This function utilizes a massive database of vehicle-specific intelligence to suggest the most likely repair path, reducing the time spent swapping parts or guessing the root cause.
- Original Data (OE) Integration: Utilizes official vehicle data for accurate component activation and coding. Whether programming a new diesel injector, resetting a service interval, or initializing a replacement battery, the software ensures the commands match the manufacturer's exact specifications.
Use Cases
Independent automotive repair shops rely on this tool to handle a diverse range of European, Asian, and domestic vehicles without turning away customers due to software incompatibility. It is also indispensable for heavy-duty fleet maintenance managers who need a single platform to service delivery trucks, buses, and trailers, ensuring minimum downtime through quick and accurate troubleshooting.
With its frequent database updates and robust support for the latest security protocols, Autocom remains a primary choice for professionals seeking a reliable, all-in-one diagnostic solution.
