With central access to accessprotected diagnostic content from various manufacturers via SDA, the workshop ensures its competitiveness, as it can continue to carry out extensive diagnostic work on a wide range of vehicles in a time-saving and efficient manner.Ħ In addition to a valid licence for control unit diagnosis (SD), the prerequisite for using SDA is a stable internet connection and the use of a diagnostic tester of the current KTS generation from Bosch, such as the KTS 560, KTS 590, KTS 350 or KTS 250. Even the service reset may no longer be possible. Active diagnostic work, such as calibrating driver assistance systems, is then no longer possible.

Without access to protected diagnostic functions, the workshop can often only perform passive diagnostics on a customer vehicle, for example reading out fault codes.

The costs for using the protected diagnostic data are already included in the licence fee for control unit diagnosis (SD). With SDA, the workshop does not have to worry about billing and charges. For this purpose, as with the opening of an online bank account, an online identification is carried out by an external service provider using the employee's identity document. As part of the one-time registration process, online user identification may be required in addition to creating the Bosch ID. Another advantage of the Bosch ID: From November 2021, it can also be used to book technical training courses at the Bosch Service Training Centres. The workshop employee can use their personal Bosch ID not only to access protected diagnostic content within ESI 2.0 Online, but also for a variety of other Bosch applications both professional and private such as e-bike or smart home applications. To this end, Bosch is in close contact with the various vehicle manufacturers to include further manufacturer solutions in SDA in a timely manner. With more vehicle manufacturers gradually protecting their vehicles from unauthorised access, SDA coverage is continuously being expanded.
