Everything You Need for Remote Automotive Work
Purpose-built tools that go beyond generic remote desktop software.
Remote Diagnostic Tool Sharing
Plug a J2534 pass-thru tool into the car at the shop; your own expert anywhere runs their OEM software — FDRS, Techline Connect, wiTECH, Techstream, ODIS — as if the tool were on their bench. Their PC runs the IgniteRemote desktop app. No per-job fee.
Every Tool Session Recorded
Every call the diagnostic software made and every answer the vehicle gave is kept and decoded — fault codes, VIN, part numbers — and every programming decision is logged before the car is touched.
Remote Desktop
Remote control from any browser, with quality presets you can lower for a weak LTE, Wi-Fi or hotspot link.
J2534 Tool Sharing — live
Share a J2534 diagnostic interface across the internet. The OEM application sees it in its own interface picker and works normally, while the tool and the vehicle stay at the shop.
USB-Only Mode — in development
A planned mode that forwards only USB data, with no video, for ECU flashing over LTE.
Flash-Safe — in development
Planned heartbeat monitoring, auto-pause and session recovery for remote programming. Today, tool sharing checks the link and battery voltage before a module write.
Low Bandwidth Optimized
Engineered for real-world conditions: mobile hotspots and cellular connections, not just the office network.
Security
TLS encryption in transit, approval at the remote computer by default, role-based access, and session audit logging.
USB-Only Mode
A mode that forwards only USB data — no screen sharing, no video stream — designed for ECU flashing and key programming over cellular connections. This is what we are building next; it is not part of the product yet.
- Designed for minimal bandwidth on 3G/LTE hotspots
- No video on the link — only USB data
- Planned alongside Flash-Safe heartbeat monitoring
- Aimed at USB key programmers and diagnostic tools
○ USB device: your programmer
○ Mode: USB data only (no video)
○ Flash-Safe: heartbeat monitoring
Planned — not available yet. J2534 tool sharing is the part that ships today.
