Snap-on announced that its diagnostic platforms have been approved by Mercedes-Benz USA and certified by Auto Authentication Authority (AutoAuth) to access Mercedes-Benz vehicles' gateway modules. This approval applies to Snap-on Wi-Fi enabled products operating the latest software, specifically for 2021 and newer model vehicles.
Automobile manufacturers are increasingly implementing secure gateway modules to protect vehicle networks from unauthorized access, requiring registration and authentication for aftermarket scan tools to access certain diagnostic functions. This approval ensures that Snap-on tools can continue to service these advanced vehicles.
The Snap-on Security Link solution provides a uniform method for diagnostic platform owners to access these secured vehicle systems. This feature is included with current software at no additional charge, enabling technicians to perform OEM secured functions with ease and maintain comprehensive service capabilities.
