Key Features of the Bosch ADS 325 Scan Tool
Unmatched Scan Speed with Quick-Scan Technology
The Bosch ADS series incorporates significant optimizations in software communication and architecture, resulting in remarkably fast scan times. The Quick-Scan feature allows technicians to perform complete all-systems DTC scans in under 60 seconds on average. For many vehicle makes and models, these comprehensive scans can be completed in 30 seconds or less. This rapid diagnostic capability dramatically reduces the time spent on initial assessments, allowing technicians to move swiftly to the repair process and increasing overall shop throughput.
Seamless Access to FCA Secure Gateway
The Bosch ADS 325 is officially licensed by FCA, providing secure and seamless access to the Secure Gateway Module (SGW) found in late-model FCA vehicles. This secure access is crucial for performing essential diagnostic and repair functions such as clearing DTCs, conducting bi-directional tests, and performing calibrations. With the ADS 325, authorized users can quickly unlock SGW-enabled vehicles within seconds via Auto Authentication Authority, eliminating delays and ensuring efficient workflow. This feature is increasingly important as more vehicles incorporate secure gateway technology to protect vehicle systems.
Enhanced European Vehicle Coverage
Leveraging Bosch’s market-leading European ESI[tronic] software coverage, the ADS series, including the Bosch ADS 325, delivers exceptional depth and breadth of diagnostic capabilities for European vehicles. Thousands of OE-level functions have been added for brands like Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen, providing comprehensive, full-system code coverage. This extensive coverage extends across Domestic, Asian, and European vehicles, systems, and special test functions, making the Bosch ADS 325 a truly versatile diagnostic tool for shops servicing a diverse range of vehicles.
Integrated Repair-Source for On-Tool Information
The Bosch ADS series provides direct access to Repair-Source, an integrated OEM service and repair information system. This feature offers a wealth of resources directly on the tool, including DTC troubleshooting workflows, repair procedures, maintenance schedules, Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs), OE wiring diagrams, component location diagrams, labor times, and more. Technicians can access this invaluable information without leaving the shop floor and without incurring extra subscriptions or fees. Having Repair-Source integrated into the Bosch ADS 325 streamlines the diagnostic and repair process, providing technicians with immediate access to the information they need to complete jobs efficiently and accurately.
Expandable Capabilities with Accessories
