Every OBDX Pro scantool works as a J2534 pass-thru interface, and the GT also supports D-PDU. Find the dealership software 25 carmaker groups offer, plus aftermarket tools for tuning, programming and diagnostics.
Carmakers sell their own diagnostic and programming software to independent workshops and owners, usually through their service-information websites. Here’s what each brand offers that runs on a J2534 or D-PDU interface, and how to get it.
Check before you use any software. You must confirm that the software supports your vehicle, and that your OBDX Pro supports the OBD protocol your vehicle uses. The product pages list the protocols each tool supports, and our OBD2 pin guide shows which protocols your vehicle’s port points to.
Sold and supported by the carmaker. Most of this software needs a paid subscription, what’s offered differs between countries, and some functions, such as key programming, need extra registration. Some carmakers also need their own interface for certain functions.
BMW's main diagnosis and programming software for F- and G-series and newer BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce models. BMW recommends its own ICOM Next interface, which it says is faster than a pass-thru.
Details
How to get it
Outside the US and Canada, register at aos.bmwgroup.com and buy time on BMW's Aftersales Online System: diagnosis and programming from €9 an hour or €19 a day, up to €3,305 a year. In the US and Canada, subscribe at bmwtechinfo.bmwgroup.com (MINI and Rolls-Royce have their own sites). In Australia, BMW restricts some access to workshops with an EV certificate.
Requirements
Windows 10 or 11 Pro or Enterprise 64-bit, a fast and stable internet connection, and an external power supply when programming.
J2534 and D-PDU
Works with an SAE J2534 interface over USB (not Bluetooth, and no USB hub) using BMW's PassThruD driver from the ISTA start page. Some older models need an adapter, and the E31, E34 and E36 318i can't communicate through a pass-thru at all. Large head-unit updates can take a very long time over J2534.
Programming for E-series BMW and R-series MINI models; newer F- and G-series cars use ISTA. BMW warns that a battery charger isn't enough when programming: use a proper programming power supply.
Details

CAN FD: the GT’s product page notes it doesn’t support CAN FD, which some 2024 and newer vehicles need for programming and security functions. Check each product page before you buy.
When you program a module: keep the vehicle’s battery supported with a suitable charger or power supply, use a stable internet connection, and stop the computer from sleeping until the software says it’s finished.
04About this directory
This directory lists 52 dealership software products from 25 carmaker groups, and 47 aftermarket tools. Each one is listed because the carmaker’s own service site, the developer’s documentation or an official repair-information body says it works through J2534 or D-PDU. We last checked every listing on 21 October 2026; software we couldn’t confirm isn’t listed.
A listing isn’t a compatibility test, and we haven’t tried every product with OBDX Pro. Before you use any software, confirm that it supports your vehicle, and that your OBDX Pro supports the OBD protocol your vehicle uses. Prices, subscriptions and what’s offered in each country change often, so check the carmaker’s or developer’s site before you buy.
Software names and trademarks belong to their owners. OBDX Pro isn’t affiliated with these carmakers or developers.
