8 Installation of the HGS PassThru Software
8.1 Provision of HGS PassThru
Since 2010, the Euro 5 standard has been applicable for all new vehicles. It regulates, among other things, the type-
approval of vehicles with regard to emissions. With the Euro 5 standard, manufacturers are obligated to provide
independent repairers with unrestricted Internet access to all information relating to the maintenance and repair of the
vehicles.
Only Euro 5-capable devices may be used to to program the ECUs. HGS PassThru is an interface used to install the
latest software version from the online portal of the manufacturer on the vehicle ECU. The PassThru function is an
add-on and does not replace the diagnostic procedure. Here, Hella Gutmann establishes a direct communication
between the manufacturer's OEM server (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and the vehicle.
Provision of the software varies depending on the manufacturer. The following options are available:
• Download the PC software
• Request the PC software on CD or DVD
• Online solutions
Here charges may accrue depending on the manufacturer e.g. for:
• Registration
• Licenses
• Software
The software content (scope of information and function) varies depending on the manufacturer. Some manufacturers
provide the legally required functions and information only, whereas others provide additional data.
