Remote ECU Programming & Diagnostics Solutions
Built for technicians, tool providers, and multi-site operations — across brands and VCIs.
eLinehub maps your physical VCI over the internet so remote specialists can run ISTA, XENTRY, ODIS, FDRS, and every other OEM tool as if they were sitting next to the car. Below you’ll find the right starting point — by role, or by the vehicle brand and VCI on your bench.
Solutions by Role
Choose the solution that fits how your team works.
Each role has a dedicated setup guide, compatible VCI list, and workflow overview.

Remote Desktop vs. Hardware Relay vs. Software VCI Mapping
Hardware relay solutions and eLinehub both deliver true remote VCI access — the differences come down to what the workshop needs to provide upfront and what the solution costs to deploy and operate.

Remote Diagnostics FAQ
Answers to the questions we hear most often from technicians, tool providers and workshop chains.
QWhich is better for my business — eLinehub or a hardware relay solution?
A
Both deliver true remote VCI access with the Technician’s own OEM tools. The key difference is deployment: hardware relay requires purchasing matched relay devices at both ends, ties you to one vendor’s compatible VCI list, and typically charges per session or via a platform fee. eLinehub is software-only — it maps any J2534 or DoIP VCI the workshop already owns, with no hardware to purchase, and runs on a predictable subscription. If your workshops already have a compatible VCI, eLinehub is usually the faster and more cost-effective path.
QDoes the workshop need to buy any hardware?
A
No. The workshop runs the free eLinehub Mechanic app on an existing Windows PC and connects their own VCI to the vehicle. No relay hardware, no OEM software licence, and no subscription is required at the workshop.
QWill my XENTRY, ISTA or ODIS credentials be visible to the workshop?
A
No. All OEM software, online accounts and licence keys stay exclusively on the Technician’s PC. The workshop shares only VCI device access — they have no visibility into your software environment, credentials or customer data.
QWhich VCIs are supported?
A
Any VCI with a Windows USB or Ethernet driver is compatible, including VAS6154A, BMW ENET, SD Connect C4/C6, JLR DoIP VCI, MDI2, VCM3, MicroPod II, and all standard J2534 PassThru devices. A full compatibility list is available on the Download page.
