OBD solution for Renault and Alpine
Diamond version 2.34.0.0 is available
The OBD protocol for programming Hitachi BED 501 / BED 434 engine control units is now ready. A new Diamond software update has been released which allows you to optimize the engine parameters of Renault and Alpine brand cars by directly accessing the map area from the vehicle’s diagnostic socket.
The new solution allows the actual reading of the map area and the programming of the ECU in OBD mode without the need to remove the unit from the vehicle : it will be sufficient to make the connection from the diagnostic socket to start the machining process.
