Continental Commercial Vehicles & Aftermarket, manufacturer and supplier of ATE and VDO replacement parts, now offers a free mobile app, which allows easy parts lookup on the ATE-VDO Auto Parts Catalog.

Continental developed the application for multiple mobile platforms in partnership with Vertical Development and ShowMeTheParts.

Vehicle specific VIN scan feature

The new app, which is compatible with Apple iOS and Android mobile devices, allows the user to scan the vehicle’s VIN barcode through either the windshield VIN tag or the drivers’ side doorframe sticker. The VIN scan will identify all of the parts in the ATE-VDO Auto Parts Catalog that are related to that vehicle.

The new mobile app can be downloaded for free from the Apple Store for iOS devices and Google Play for Android devices. It allows users to quickly and easily search for compatible parts on any car or light truck on the market.

The catalog’s comprehensive database also contains product information, specifications, instruction sheets, photos, vehicle relearn procedures for TPMS and other details for VDO brand electric motors, door systems, engine management, fuel supply, TPMS replacement parts, REDI-Sensor Multi-Application TPMS sensors and ATE brand brake pads and rotors.

In addition to the VIN scan, the new app also allows users to search based on vehicle make and model and cross-reference with the touch of a button.
