How does the DA-ST512 get free updates for future Software Updates?

The DA-ST512 can be updated for free simply and easily by connecting the DA-ST512 to an internet connected laptop/PC via the USB cable that is provided with each DA-ST512.

The PC software update application is available to download from the Diagnostic Associates website Downloads page.  This application identifies what version of software is on the device for each of the purchased applications, and connects over the internet to determine whether a new version is available for update.  The device will then be automatically updated and ready to be used on the vehicle in a matter of minutes.

Applications can be trialled for free using the DA App Hub, for a limited number of uses before the application then needs to be purchased – This is our try before you buy service.

For Jaguar Land Rover franchised retailers the DA-ST512 collects feedback session data from the vehicles you connect to.  This data is sent back to Jaguar Land Rover when you connect to the App Hub software.  To ensure the data is sent back regularly after 50 vehicles the DA-ST512 prompts you to connect to the App Hub software.
