DISplus, also written DIS Plus, is BMW's workshop Diagnostic Information System tester, associated with a larger stationary diagnostic unit. The term is commonly used for the equipment and its working environment; DIS also identifies the diagnostic software used on compatible equipment.
Capabilities and connections
BMW's period training lists vehicle diagnosis, coding, programming and individualisation. The tester could connect through the workshop network or to the appropriate diagnostic head, OPS or OPPS. Exact measurement equipment, vehicle coverage and available functions vary with the configuration and installed release.
The SSS transition
BMW's equipment description states that with the cited Progman release, DISplus no longer performed coding and programming directly. It could initiate a request to the Software Service Station, which carried out the operation. Diagnosis remained a DISplus function.
See the equipment
The period BMW training manual shows DISplus and GT1. A DISplus is not the same object as the yellow diagnostic head, which is the separate vehicle interface.
Where it sits in the equipment family
MoDiC III used a separate orange head; the later workshop family included DISplus and GT1 using appropriate diagnostic interfaces. These systems and software releases overlapped in service. The yellow EDIC/DK head is a vehicle interface rather than the DISplus workstation.
