Service Pack 7 adds several new features to Digital Wrench along with the addition of basic diagnostic functions for 2007 vehicles. Click on the links below for more information on these new features:
Whenever Digital Wrench connects to a SmartLink Module, it will check to make sure the latest version of SmartLink software is installed in the device. If the SmartLink version is too old or the module is not programmed correctly, the following screen will be displayed.
When the Ok button is pressed, the SmartLink Configuration Screen will be loaded automatically and the SmartLink will be updated. Once the SmartLink Module has been updated successfully the software can be used.
The Auto-Update function can be disabled (turned-off) by clicking on the Smartlink Auto Update Switch on this screen.
