| 11-30-2007 | Christmas Offers |
Special Christmas Offers... we do not have, because we don't have outdated systems on stock. Our systems are always up-to-date and the user gets free software updates for years. But we are known for our pathbreaking novelties:
New DevelopmentAfter we launched 3 years ago the first wireless interface with Bluetooth in the low-cost section the next logical step was a WLAN interface with TCP/IP. It offers possibilities for worldwide diagnostics via internet.
As reported by Heise-News on 11-27-2007 BMW is experimenting also with IP networks for cars, see Heise-News and Heise-Autos. So we are again within the trend of car technics.

| 06-15-2007 | ElmCan-II OBD Interface USB with 500.000 Baud! |
ElmCan-IIAgain a worldwide Novelty from the OBD-II Pioneer CarCode Müller:
ElmCan-II OBD Interface 500,000 Baud

Outside as the well-known ElmCan-USB, but inside with new technology, which is useless without the suitable software. The ElmCan-II USB is delivered therefore with the only software so far which supports 500 kiloBaud. That is:
ScanMaster-ELM V1.6

Equipped with the new chip version of the original ELM327 V1.2 IC (see description) the diagnostic system ElmCan-II with ScanMaster-ELM v1.6 is actually the fastest low-cost OBD diagnostic system. And this for the same price than the previous model (see pricing). Hardware and software from one supplier is a warranty for a functional system.
Conclusion: We don't copy the ideas of others, we develop new ideas to outstanding tools.
ScanMasterELM and ScanMasterELM-OEM v1.6 supports now also all Alfa Romeo without OBD-II with Bosch ECU Motronic M1.5.5, ME7.3.1 und ME3.1. The updates may be downloaded by users.

Digimoto 5 supports all OBD-II protocold right now and works therefore also with ElmCan interfaces with the genuine ELM327. For more informations see at Digimoto pages.
PocketScannerPlus (PSP)PSP is more than a replacement for the abandoned Digimoto PPC. A free license for PSP is shipped now together with the ElmCan-Bluetooth interface. So we are able to offer a complete OBD-II diagnostic system for Pocket-PC and smartphones with WinCE or WinMobile.

ElmCan interface wirelessAfter we introduced in November 2004 the worlds first low-cost OBD-II interface with wireless Bluetooth technic (the Heise newsticker has announced it), we are able to offer now the ElmCan OBD-II interface with Bluetooth (ElmCan-BT). Our 3 years experience with OBD-II over Bluetooth helped us for this new product:
 |  | ElmCan-BT |
The new ElmCan-BT supports - as all of the ElmCan series - all OBD-II protocols including CAN-Bus. In contrary to competitor products every distributed software product for ElmCan interfaces was entirely tested with the new ElmCan-BT and now released. The ElmCan-BT is suitable for
- Laptops/Notebooks with biuldin Bluetooth or Bluetooth dongle

Most of all computer devices with Bluetooth are supported this way. The ElmCan-BT ships now with 92 pages documentation with extended addendum of Bluetooth installation for different devices:
 Win-XP
 |  |
| Pocket-PC with Win-CE | Smartphone with Win-Mobile |
Without carrying a laptop/notebook you are able now to use e.g. your navigation PDA (PDA with Bluetooth) for accessing the electronics of your car while traveling. Software:
- For PC/Laptop/Notebook: ScanMaster-ELM, PCMSCAN, PowerDyn-OBD
- For Pocket-PC/Smartphones: PocketScannerPlus, (ScanMaster-ELM in development)
- For Internet Tablets with embedded Linux: Carman (Python needed)
