Currently you can upgrade your Bosch KTS 650 to a new motherboard for less than the 1000.00 pound mark (including parts and labour and new hard drive plus VAT) as opposed to the original 1500.00 (excluding labour and hard drive) pounds plus VAT.

So if your 650 is still on ME make the switch to Windows XP.

However the price is beginning to go up and i belive over the next few months it will continue to do so, so get your unit upgraded from us before it gets to expensive.

If you have a KTS running Me and do not yet own a can bus cable i would recommend a complete revamp of your 650 which will cost 1600.00** plus VAT but will include a new Motherboard, Diagnostics Board, Hard drive, labour, cables and fresh install of software and warranty which will then make your unit the equivalent of the KTS 670.

Stick with us we have the experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

** Prices may change as cost of parts is on the increase but were accurate at time of writing this.

By now everyone with an active subscription to Bosch KTS 200 software should have recieved their disks.

If you havent get in touch with your Distributor and get it sorted the disks had suffered a delay but now are ready and straightforward to load, a handy tip is that onc you setup your 2100 to update via the usb on your pc use the same port next time you update and it`ll save the hassle of installing drivers.

Any problems or questions get in touch... We are the longest serving Bosch Test Equipment Service Agency in the South East!!!!!!!!!

This is just a little note to let evryone know that the Bosch ESi Update 2008/2 should have been recieved by everyone by now, you need the first 2008 disc of the year to load the update... ( as long as you have paid your ESI bill for the year!!!!!!!!).

Also the new updates are also online for the carman scan lite and VG!!!!

Please ask any questions you may have..

Bosch has today announced the introduction of the KTS 670 multi-media diagnostic test system, confirming the company’s leading position in engine diagnostics equipment and software.

The KTS 670 replaces the popular and well-established KTS 650 and 651 models used extensively by vehicle workshops, and which have set the standard in the industry. The new model incorporates the latest technological advances in an instrument that is practical and easy to use, and durable enough to cope with the rigours of the workshop environment.

Key features of the KTS 670 include:

• Multi-media compatibility
• Solid housing making it suitable for the harsh workshop environment
• New ‘Easy-Connect’ adapter, providing greater flexibility
• Windows XP operating system
• 40 GB hard drive
• 12.1 inch TFT touch screen with bright, clear display

The unit supports all current diagnostics protocols, including ISO, flashing code, SAE and CAN. It has a built-in multiplexer for K and CAN protocols and an integrated exchange adapter that can easily be replaced.

The oscilloscope module from the KTS 570 is now included in the KTS 670. This dual-channel oscilloscope allows simultaneous evaluation of two components. Channel 1 of the oscilloscope can be operated at the same time as the control unit diagnostics, allowing the user to see the signal from the components and the associated actual value at a glance.

Graph signals can be saved to provide documentation of the diagnosis, and the larger X measuring range has a higher sampling rate. This, along with improved bandwidth and input resistance and enhanced pre-trigger setting time, leads to better signal evaluation.

New adapter technology has also been introduced. The six-way universal lead is replaced by the UNI-4 adapter lead from the KTS 5 series. A newly-designed U-box 2 is built in to the KTS 670.

The KTS 670 comes in a robust case which also houses the principal components and accessories. These include the system tester, ESI(tronic) DVD and drive, all connecting and measuring cables, the power supply and line connector, and the operating instructions.
