Auto Programmer for Honda Measure Scope Third Generation:GNA-600

The HDS software package includes software to program three different platforms: the HDS Tablet Tester, the Teradyne Diagnostic System Pocket Tester, and the HDS PC version. The software covers all vehicles from 1992 to the current model year (except for the Honda Passport and the Acura SLX**). The software also includes all the necessary items to monitor, diagnose, and reprogram Honda and Acura control modules.

NOTE: HDS PC Software and a GNA600 Kit or Honda Interface Module is the replacement for the discontinued HDS Tablet Tester.

If a high-speed connection is not available, software updates can be supplied on a CD.

Initial software is delivered on a CD and updates are available over the Internet (DSL or broadband high-speed connection recommended due to file size).

NOTE: You must be a current ServiceExpress subscriber to enroll in the software program.

The projected software package subscription cost is $1,000*. Software subscriptions expire 365-days from the date of purchase. This provides the same updates at the same time as the dealers.

To enroll in the HDS software package subscription program, you must be a ServiceExpress subscriber. ( to subscribe)

Enrollment procedure:

If using a HDS Tablet or Teradyne Pocket Tester, a 2 GB memory card is required due to HDS software file size.

If using a HDS Tablet, a Type II PC card drive (internal or external) is required.

Vehicle Communication Interface (not included with HDS Software), the GNA600 Kit or a HIM to establish a communication link between the vehicle and PC/Laptop. Refer to (VCI) for further details.

When using a HIM with a PC, an RS232 port is required to connect PC to HIM (PC version software only). If an RS232 port is not available, a USB-to-serial adapter may be used to communicate between the HIM and your computer. Consult the Aftermarket HDS Multiplatform Software Installation Instructions for a list of approved adapters.

If using a laptop, we recommend a rough design model like the Panasonic Toughbook which provides the ruggedness needed for a service shop.
