(MENAFN- PR Newswire)

Groundbreaking Performance, Enhanced User Experience, and Unmatched Flexibility for OEM and Aftermarket Scanning

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Opus
IVSTM, the leader in intelligent vehicle support solutions, proudly introduces DriveSafe2 ,
the next-generation diagnostic tool created to enhance performance for collision repair professionals and multi-shop operators (MSOs).
Based on the popular DrivePro2 platform, DriveSafe2 will launch in the collision market in 2025.
MSOs and collision professionals are invited to preview DriveSafe2 at the MSO
Symposium on
Monday,
November 4 ,
and
at
SEMA
booth #33071 in the South Upper Hall, November 5-8 .

Advanced Design and Cutting-Edge Performance
DriveSafe2 builds on the success of DriveSafe, already the industry's top tool for MSOs and collision shops, by delivering advancements in speed, functionality, and user control. It's powered by Intel processors, up to Core i5, with options for a high-resolution 10" or 13" Gorilla Glass touchscreen, optional wireless VCI, built-in CarDAQ J2534 VCI, and ultra-fast 5G and Wi-Fi connectivity. Designed with durability in mind, DriveSafe2 is housed in an industrial-strength Opus IVS enclosure, offering configurations from 512GB to 2TB of internal storage, extended battery life, and an optional docking station for flexible shop use.

We're excited to introduce DriveSafe2 as the next step forward in collision diagnostics.

Enhanced UI and Comprehensive Diagnostic Suite
DriveSafe2 includes a refined UI that builds on the familiar DriveSafe experience, offering enhanced workflow and real-time feedback.
Featuring AiVS Scan , an AI-powered, on-screen diagnostic tool, and
IVS
True
OE
Scans , where users can request authentic OEM scans with OE software and detailed reports, DriveSafe2 ensures precision in every diagnostic. The tool's QuickADAS feature enables on-screen ADAS calibrations, and ADAS MAP helps identify and manage calibrations directly with CCC integration, making DriveSafe2 an invaluable tool for ADAS management in collision space.

Seamless Switching Between OEM and Aftermarket Scans
A standout feature of DriveSafe2 is its capability to transition smoothly between OEM and aftermarket scans within a single device. Technicians can use the DrivePro Scan Tool Hub to access aftermarket tools like Auto Enginuity and Autologic, and the 13" model's FarSight Mode comes with pre-installed OEM software such as Toyota GTS+, GM TLC, Jaguar Land Rover, and others-allowing users to apply their own OE licenses. This integration consolidates all diagnostic capabilities into one tool, simplifying workflow by eliminating the need for multiple devices.

Innovative My CarDAQ Mode for Flexible Application Use
The 13" DriveSafe2 model introduces My CarDAQ Mode , a fully managed virtual machine (VM) environment that lets technicians install additional applications beyond diagnostics, including software for
Estimatics, HR, payroll, and more. This virtual setup provides secure, reliable operation with easy backup and restore capabilities, marking a first in diagnostic tools by combining both business and
diagnostic
functionalities.
