OTOFIX Introduces the D1 Lite Diagnostic Tool, Purpose-Built for Small Garage Technicians
OTOFIX has launched the D1 Lite, a compact diagnostic tool available at offering professional-grade features for small garages and mobile technicians at an accessible price. Shenzhen, China, June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OTOFIX has just introduced the D1 Lite, a compact diagnostic tool designed for small garages, mobile technicians, and students in training. Available at it offers key diagnostic features typically found in higher-end models at a price point meant to support independent repair professionals and learners by Autel, a globally trusted name in automotive diagnostics, the D1 Lite provides full-system scans, live data, active component tests, and more, all in a lightweight, easy-to-use device priced under $400. Professional-Grade Capabilities in a Compact Format With a slim build, bright orange shell, and HD touchscreen, the D1 Lite is designed to be simple to carry and operate. It supports over 100 car brands and includes more than 38 service functions, such as: Oil reset Brake system maintenance (EPB) Battery management (BMS) Diesel particulate filter (DPF) service Factory-level full-system diagnostics These functions help technicians perform everyday maintenance tasks quickly and accurately. Whether it's preparing a vehicle for a customer handoff or troubleshooting a warning light, the D1 Lite gives users control over key systems beyond just the engine. It can access ABS, airbags, transmission, HVAC, immobilizer systems, and more—making it a complete diagnostic companion. It also includes over 3,000 active tests, allowing users to trigger components like fuel pumps, cooling fans, mirrors, windows, and seat motors to confirm function during diagnostics. These bidirectional capabilities are usually found in tools that cost far more. Reliable Vehicle History Checks with VIN and Odometer Data One of the most useful features is the VIN/Odometer Check. This function reads the vehicle identification number and mileage from different control units in the car. It helps detect mismatches or irregular readings that could point to tampering or system errors. This feature is especially helpful for inspecting used cars or verifying system integrity. It supports many popular vehicle brands, including Toyota, VW, Ford, BMW, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Subaru, Fiat, Audi, and Land Rover. For garages that often work on pre-owned vehicles, this adds a layer of transparency and helps flag inconsistencies early. Advanced Protocol Support for Modern Vehicle Systems The D1 Lite includes advanced protocols to support today's automotive systems. It works with CAN FD and DoIP, both of which are communication protocols adopted by newer vehicles to allow faster data exchange between modules. These technologies are essential for working on 2021 and newer models from brands like GM, Hyundai, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. It also includes FCA AutoAuth, which provides secure access to Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Fiat, and Alfa Romeo systems without requiring additional tools . This lets users scan newer vehicles with locked gateways and still perform full diagnostics and service functions. Auto VIN detection further speeds up the workflow by identifying the vehicle instantly, reducing manual entry and potential errors. Two Years of Free Software Updates Included Unlike many scan tools that charge ongoing subscription fees, the D1 Lite comes with two years of free software updates. This helps users keep up with new vehicle models and functions without added costs. The included updates are valued at 718 dollars, providing long-term value right out of the box. These updates are delivered over Wi-Fi and take just minutes to install, ensuring users always have the latest coverage and bug fixes. After the two-year period, continued updates remain optional—not required to keep using the tool. Designed for Technicians, Trainees, and Mobile Repair Pros The D1 Lite was built with everyday users in mind. It is a good fit for: Independent garages that need professional tools at a fair price Mobile mechanics who want something durable and easy to carry Trade school students learning diagnostics on real vehicles Tool resellers who need a reliable and approachable product to offer For those looking to move up from entry-level scanners or transition from analog to digital, this tool provides the right balance of features and price. There's no steep learning curve, no hidden subscriptions, and no wasted time trying to interpret incomplete scan results. Backed by Autel's Diagnostic Expertise OTOFIX is a sub-brand of Autel, a company known worldwide for its automotive diagnostic systems. The D1 Lite benefits from the same development expertise, software reliability, and product support as Autel's professional-grade tools. Positive reviews from technicians highlight its ease of use and time-saving capabilities in real-world repair jobs. A Smart Investment for Growing Garages The OTOFIX D1 Lite delivers the essential diagnostic features typically found in higher-end tools, but in a format that's accessible, efficient, and easy to use. For small teams and independent technicians looking to upgrade their capabilities without overspending, it offers a smart, practical solution.

Is Trump about to ban DJI drones — or help them avoid a ban?
The Washington Post is reporting that he's expected to sign executive orders on drones next week, suggesting they could 'end Chinese drone sales in the US.' That might be true, but the main action WaPo describes is 'the executive order could direct the U.S. intelligence community to accelerate reviews of whether Chinese drone makers DJI and Autel are national security risks' — which is exactly what DJI would like the US to do. DJI products will be automatically banned unless an agency finishes that review. If there's a review, there's a chance. DJI explains why it won't stop drones from flying over the White House — and what happens in a US ban Sean Hollister Feb 5
