Hella Gutmann unveils mega macs S 20
Hella Gutmann has announced the launch of its latest diagnostic device, the mega macs S 20. Unveiled at Automechanika Frankfurt 2024, the mega macs S 20 builds on the success of its predecessor, the mega macs ONE, and brings cutting-edge diagnostic capabilities at a cost-effective price.
Hella Gutmann’s mega macs X has stood out for its unique features, including selectable software modules, diagnostics over internet protocol (DoIP), and the ability to assess the state of health (SoH) of electric vehicle (EV) batteries. Now, these advanced features are available in a more affordable option with the new mega macs S 20, making it a great choice for workshops looking for a scalable and straightforward diagnostics solution.
"We’re giving workshops the flexibility to use their own Android devices for advanced diagnostics, without compromising on performance,” said Julian Goulding, Head of Sales at Hella Gutmann. “It’s a powerful combination of affordability, efficiency, and cutting-edge technology that sets a new standard for modern vehicle diagnostics."
Powering the new mega macs S 20 is Hella Gutmann’s smart diagnostic interface (SDI), previously only available on its flagship devices. It ensures maximum clarity and a quick, intuitive diagnostic process with support for DoIP and CAN-FD protocols.
“Technicians simply plug the mega macs S 20 dongle into the vehicle's OBD port and connect to it via their Android tablet or smartphone using Bluetooth or USB-C,” said Julian. “Two flexible software modules bring a choice of functions for workshops, from basic to advanced capabilities.”
The S2 license includes functions like reading/clearing error codes, service resets, and adjusting settings. It also comes with regular software updates and new vehicle model support.
Advanced functions such as mileage queries, coding, parameter viewing, actuator tests, and access to Hella Gutmann cyber security management (CSM) are also available with the S2 license. It means the new mega macs S 20 can also unlock cyber security gateways within a fraction of a second. With BMW recently added, CSM now supports cyber security diagnostics for 17 brands.
An S3 license unlocks premium features like error code-based repair suggestions, access to the Hella Gutmann knowledge database, and HV battery diagnostics PRO. This enables the mega macs S 20 to assess EV traction batteries using ‘Battery Quick Check’, a feature once exclusive to the mega macs X. For workshops specialising in advanced battery services, the S-Battery license is the perfect solution.
