ABRITES AVDI (Abrites Vehicle Diagnostics Interface) is a multi-make aftermarket vehicle interface and software ecosystem for diagnostics, service work and, with the relevant software and equipment, specialist electronic-module work. AVDI is the interface; the installed vehicle software, licences, subscription and accessories determine the work available. [1] [2]
Original schematic created for Tuning Wiki; published for use on this wiki. It shows a BMW example; actual vehicle connections and equipment vary.
Interface generations
Abrites identifies AVDI Plus as the newer hardware generation, adding CAN-FD and Ethernet connectivity while retaining legacy interfaces and support for most existing peripherals. The previous AVDI V4 is a legacy product; the maker says it is no longer sold as new. Availability and function of individual protocols must be checked for the particular interface and software. [1] [3]
Diagnostics and software
For supported makes, the basic AVDI software documentation lists vehicle scans, controller identification, reading and clearing diagnostic trouble codes, live data and actuator tests. Abrites also offers brand-specific software and paid special functions for tasks such as key learning, module adaptation, coding and ECU programming; these are not universal capabilities across every vehicle. [2] [4]
Abrites describes an annual subscription for software updates and online services, with support-plan and licence conditions depending on the package. Check the current terms, included functions and active licence before undertaking a job. Some operations require a stable internet connection and dedicated hardware. [2]
Accessories and connections
Depending on the procedure, AVDI can work through the vehicle diagnostic socket or with supported modules on the bench. Abrites lists the PROTAG key and transponder programmer and distribution-box equipment among its accessories. The exact key programmer, cables, adapters, licences and power arrangements depend on the job. [5]
The legacy AVDI listing describes a PassThru driver. Abrites' AVDI Plus page now describes J2534 PassThru, while a separate announcement calls its Plus PassThru upgrade forthcoming. Because the manufacturer sources are inconsistent, confirm current release status, interface and subscription requirements and any separate OEM software access before relying on it. [3] [6]
