VN8810 – Reprogramming, Diagnostic Scripting and Remote Diagnostics

The VN8810 is a compact and intelligent diagnostic hardware device for various applications involving vehicle diagnostics. Accessing the vehicle is easily done via the OBD socket.

The reprogramming of ECUs or the execution of diagnostic scripts is handled by one single hardware device. Once flash packages or scripts have been transmitted, the VN8810 executes them autonomously in standalone mode or optionally controlled via a smartphone or tablet.

In addition, the VN8810 serves as the access point for remote diagnostics. As a result, the user can diagnose vehicles directly and interactively throughout the world without having to be on site.

ECU Reprogramming Diagnostic Script Execution Remote Diagnostics

Standalone Flashing

For reprogramming flash packages (configuration and data) are transmitted via USB, Ethernet, or Wifi from the PC to the VN8810. Once connected to a vehicle, the user controls and tracks the reprogramming via the keypad with Status LEDs – or alternatively with a smartphone or tablet.

Remote Flashing

Remote Flashing: Setting up the communications infrastructure with vFlash Remote and the VN8810 device.

For remote flashing the VN8810 is used as a remote interface in combination with the flash tool vFlash Remote. vFlash Remote connects over the internet to an access point that is already integrated in the VN8810 device.

Use cases:

Easy reprogramming of ECUs remotely - entirely independent of location and without much organizational effort or cost.
High degrees of flexibility and reliability, especially on vehicle test drives and offshore production plants.

Diagnostic Script Execution with vScriptDiagnostics:

Diagnostic scripts in C# can be developed on the PC or recorded with Indigo and then transmitted to the VN8810. Once connected to a vehicle, the user controls and tracks the script selection and execution via the keypad with Status LEDs – or alternatively with a smartphone or tablet.

Exemplary Applications:

Standalone execution of diagnostic sequences mainly for OEMs but also for suppliers
Preparing vehicle initial operations: Execute diagnostic scripts
During or after test drives: Report vehicle health check, fleet related report, ...
Vehicles production line, EOL testing (and aftersales):
- Creation of reports of ECUs for documentation
- ECU testing as well as cleanup or auxiliary operation of ECUs, e.g. clearing fault memory, reset adaptation values, enable security mechanisms, ECU reset
- Learn/parameterize/variant coding of ECUs

In the case of interactive remote diagnostics, the VN8810 as a diagnostic access point replaces the classic diagnostic tester and acts as a network interface.

Using a remote service on the Internet, the VN8810 communicates the diagnostic requests and responses between the vehicle and the remote diagnostic software Indigo Remote.

Advantage: Neither the diagnostic data nor an expert has to be on site – direct access to the vehicle is still possible at any time.
