5. Installation of the HGS PassThru Software

5.1. Provision of HGS PassThru

Since 2010, the Euro 5 standard has been applicable for all new vehicles. It regulates, among other things, the type-ap-
proval 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 manu-
facturer'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

provide the legally required functions and information only, whereas others provide additional data.
