Bosch announced it released the 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 software updates for the ADS and ADS X series scan tools. These updates further improve the user experience by introducing a “Manage Photo” feature, allowing technicians to launch the camera or upload existing photos to scan reports, special test and calibration reports, the company says.
The software updates also add new special tests, systems applications, more 2022 coverage and new 2023 vehicle coverage.
Bosch says these updates were developed with the user experience and performance of the entire workshop at the forefront in anticipation of new vehicle models entering the market.
“Manage Photos” Feature for Scan Reports: Technicians will now have the ability to launch the camera or upload photos from the gallery after completing a DTC Scan. The photos will appear in the scan report after the DTCs.
“Manage Photos” Feature in Special Test & Calibration Reports: During a Special Test or Calibration Report, technicians can select ‘Manage Photos’ to launch the camera or upload existing photos to add and label photos within the report. This feature serves as a helpful reference tool for technicians who may need to refer to past repairs and services when performing a special test or calibration.
New 2023 and More 2022 Vehicle Coverage: The ADS software updates include coverage for domestic and foreign 2022 and 2023 vehicle coverage including various models from Buick, Jeep, GMC, Mercedes, Alfa Romeo and more.
Bosch says ADS users with a current subscription can install the updates after automatically receiving the download.
