Use Your Existing VCI & OEM Tools Remotely (USB + DoIP)

Use Your Existing VCI & OEM Tools Remotely with the same workflow you trust on-site. eLinehub maps your setup to the right Shared Devices option, so diagnostics and programming behave as expected over USB and DoIP—without extra hardware or new software routines.

Use Your Existing VCI & OEM Tools Remotely: Quick Decision

• USB VCI (J2534/USB-only) → choose Shared USB Devices.

• Ethernet/DoIP discovery → choose Shared Network Adapters — Standard.

• Fixed gateway or broadcast-heavy discovery → choose Shared Network Adapters — Advanced.

Plain meaning: to use your existing VCI & OEM tools remotely, send USB VCIs to Shared USB; send DoIP discovery to Standard; send gateway-sensitive cases to Advanced.

Use Your Existing VCI & OEM Tools Remotely: Compatibility Snapshot

• Shared USB Devices — USB over IP for automotive diagnostics.

  • Fits: J2534 and most USB VCIs; CAN, CAN FD, UDS; common OEM reflash suites.

• Shared Network Adapters — Standard — “Virtual network cable” for DoIP.

  • Fits: Ethernet VCIs and late-model platforms; discovery and sessions act local.

• Shared Network Adapters — Advanced — Gateway-sensitive / broadcast-heavy cases.

  • Fits: strict subnets, fixed gateways, multicast/broadcast discovery paths.

Use Your Existing VCI & OEM Tools Remotely: Known-Good Combos

• USB J2534 VCI → OEM reprogramming suites → Shared USB Devices

• BMW ENET → ISTA / E-Sys over DoIP → Shared Network — Standard

• Benz C4 (Ethernet) → Xentry (fixed gateway) → Shared Network — Advanced

• Bosch MDI2 (Ethernet) → Techline suite → Shared Network — Standard

• (Optional additions for your fleet) VW ODIS (DoIP) → Standard ｜ JLR Pathfinder (DoIP) → Standard

Use Your Existing VCI & OEM Tools Remotely: Quick Checks

• DoIP not discovering modules? Switch from Standard to Advanced.

• USB VCI not showing? Select only the VCI under Shared USB Devices.

• Needs a fixed gateway? Start with Advanced.

• Mixed fleet? Use Shared USB for USB-class VCIs; Standard first for Ethernet/DoIP.

Why This Covers Almost Any VCI & DoIP

• USB stays USB. Packet-level pass-through means the remote PC treats the VCI like it’s local—why J2534 and most USB VCIs work.

• Ethernet acts like a longer cable. Discovery is preserved, so DoIP tools see vehicles as expected.

• An option for picky cases. Advanced handles fixed gateways and broadcast-heavy discovery when Standard isn’t enough.

• No translation layer. We don’t reinterpret OEM messages; we transport them transparently, so you can use your existing VCI & OEM tools remotely with native behavior.
