Computerized and
high performance.

Reads and deletes fault memories, tests
and activates components, displays actu-
al values or looks up parts catalogues – the
ContiSys VCI offers you all of this and much
more.
This multifunctional diagnostics solution
was developed to satisfy the extensive de-
mands placed in the service area. In an in-
terplay with the simple and intuitively ope-
rable computer software ContiSys DSI, the
vehicle interface communicates with every
workshop PC via a modern, secure WLAN
interface. And it always remains up-to-date
if required thanks to the ContiSys Update
Plus software updating service.
