How it works

Two roles. One session. Full remote diagnostics.

The on-site VCI is mapped to the Technician’s PC at device level — your OEM software sees it as a local USB or network interface, with no remote desktop involved.

eLinehub VCI Mapping architecture — Before: physical VCI connected locally. After: VCI mapped over internet via eLinehub cloud to remote Technician PC

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost for mechanics?
Mechanic software is always free. Remote connections are billed in Credits to the Technician. Technicians can buy Credits through Pay as you go or choose a subscription plan. See pricing for details.
How does the free trial work, and what happens afterward?
Technicians automatically receive a free trial when they register, with no credit card required. After using the trial, they can buy Credits through Pay as you go or choose a subscription plan. Mechanic software remains free.
How is eLinehub different from using remote desktop software?
Remote desktop tools share a screen — the OEM software still requires a locally connected VCI on the remote PC. eLinehub maps the workshop VCI directly into the Technician’s PC at device level, so no VCI is needed on the Technician’s side at all.
Can I use eLinehub with my existing team structure?
Yes. eLinehub supports role-based access — multiple Technicians and Mechanics under one account, with governed sessions and per-user access control.
What happens if the connection drops mid-session?
A VCI connection may be restored after a brief interruption. This does not restore an interrupted OEM procedure; follow the manufacturer’s recovery instructions.
Which eLinehub features require Windows?
You can create or accept orders and chat in your browser. Mechanics can pay online for orders, and Technicians can buy subscriptions in the Web App. Sharing a VCI and establishing the remote diagnostic connection require the Windows desktop apps on both PCs.
