CAS has announced that E-ZDS, the software developer for G-scan, has just released the next major software update for the G-scan family of scan tools.

CAS President and CEO, John Jenkins comments on this first major release of 2021, “It’s great to see the amount of new coverages introduced with this release. Jaguar and Land Rover were extended quite a bit as were the Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge vehicle lines.

“I am also excited to see the release of an ever-increasing number of ADAS calibration capabilities as E-ZDS is adding a number of 2020 vehicles. In the past, repair shops could wait 2-3 model years for coverage to arrive. Now with ADAS services, a number of our customers are demanding more current vehicle coverage. E-ZDS has been addressing this situation with their software development.”

It was also noted E-ZDS has security access capabilities for both the FCA vehicle line as well as Hyundai and Kia making the Gscan-3 and Gscan-2 the only known non-OEM scan tools to offer this OEM authorized dual security access capability, says the company.

The newly added vehicle coverages include a large amount of 2020 model year vehicles, multiple Mercedes Benz models, 2018-2020 Fiat Chrysler, and 20+ other car lines. Expansion areas include diagnostics, maintenance functions, and ADAS calibrations. Also made available is a multi-page ‘What’s New’ PDF file for downloading from the CAS website.

Customers under a current subscription are encouraged to update their G-scan immediately to take advantage of all the latest additions and enhancements. G-scan owners wishing to purchase a subscription are encouraged to call their CAS representative.
