Advanced Diagnostics Smart Card Calculator – No Cards

The Advanced Diagnostics SmartCard Calculator & Card Security System allows users to access AD online pin codes without the use of the Internet in the field.
For use on TCode Pro and MVP Pro machines only.

How does the SmartCard work?

The SmartCard Security System consists of a Calculator and a SmartCard. After the system has been selected from the main vehicle menu, the SmartCard is required for each vehicle manufacturer. The tester will display a CHALLENGE code. To continue, the user must enter this code on the SmartCard Calculator. A corresponding RESPONSE code is then displayed on the SmartCard Calculator, which must be entered back into the tester. Providing the CHALLENGE/RESPONSE codes correspond, access to continue will be granted. After each RESPONSE code is given, the SmartCard’s uses count on the smart card will be reduced by one.

To protect the SmartCard and SmartCard software, there are a number of built-in security features:

1. Each SmartCard can be used for a maximum of 5,000 times.

2. After 500 uses, the SmartCard will need to be re-charged via the Advanced Diagnostics website

The card has a total of ten recharges
providing the 5,000 limit.

3. Once the card has reached its 5,000 limit, a new SmartCard will need to be used.

4. The SmartCard is unique to each tester.

5. The user has 55 seconds to enter the RESPONSE code. If it is not entered within this time, then the tester will generate a new CHALLENGE code. This will continue to change every 55 seconds while no RESPONSE code is entered.

6. The user will have three attempts to enter a correct RESPONSE code. After three incorrect RESPONSE codes, the tester will have to be turned off and re-started.
