ISMFlash

The innovative flashing software for automotive control units

ISM Nexus Pro

One interface for diagnostics and programming, in the vehicle and on the bench.

ISM Nexus Pro brings modern vehicle networks and traditional diagnostic lines together in one compact device. Switchable OBD pin routing connects control units via DoIP, CAN FD, K-Line and J1850, in the vehicle or on the bench. Designed for 12 V and 24 V vehicle electrical systems.

Multiple protocols, one interface

CAN and CAN FD with ISO 15765, single-wire CAN, K-Line, J1850 PWM/VPW and Ethernet for ENET and DoIP. Route the diagnostic lines to the OBD pins required for the job.

For OBD and bench work

Bench service mode protocols and GPT signals complement in-vehicle use. Switchable ground connections and an adjustable VPP supply add flexibility on the bench.

Direct ENET, USB-C or Wi-Fi

Use it as a direct OBD-to-Ethernet adapter for DoIP/ENET on Windows and iOS. Connect over Wi-Fi or USB-C with USB 2.0 High-Speed (480 Mbit/s interface speed). A dedicated iPhone app will follow.

Tested software

Full SAE J2534 PassThru support for J2534-compatible applications. The following programs have been tested with ISM Nexus Pro; depending on the software, they connect via J2534 or the appropriate ENET/DoIP interface:

ISMFlash OBD · BENCH · BOOT · GLITCH
BMW ISTA · E-Sys · INPA · NCS Expert · WinKFP
Ford FORScan
Mercedes-Benz Xentry · DAS · DTS Monaco · Vediamo
Opel GDS2
Renault Renault CAN CLIP
VAG ODIS · ODIS-E

Coming later: GM-UART and Honda-Diag-H. Support for these protocols is planned in a future firmware update.

ISM Nexus Pro is being developed by ISM Automotive Tech GmbH as a hardware companion to ISMFlash. Further details on ECU coverage and availability will be published separately.
