WHAT IS J2534 AND HOW WILL IT HELP ME?
J2534 OR PASS THRU technology is a protocol or software language that EU5 legislation has approved in agreement with all European Car Manufacturers. In essence it allows Independent Aftermarket garages to purchase inexpensive tools like the CARDAQ+, then go online to an OEM internet portal, register themselves, pay a subscription, then download the OEM software for either ECU flash programming or diagnostics, depending on what the individual OEM allows. With this software installed on a laptop and in conjunction with CARDAQ+, they can then diagnose or program vehicle ecus just like the dealers can.

It is important to note that each OEM has different Terms & Conditions of use, different charges for the use of their software, different periods of time that a subscription can be bought for, and most importantly different levels of capability within their software. Some allow FULL diagnostics and programming just the same as the dealer, while others allow only flash programming of ECUS. Where we list links to OEM websites it is imperative that you check carefully exctly what each OEM offers before commiting to paying for a subscription.
Some OEM examples of FULL diagnostics and programming are:
Jaguar Land Rover
BMW
OPEL/Vauxhall
Toyota
While examples of flash programming only are:
Mercedes
FORD
