for faster front toe adjustments and "live" cradle adjustments to center sub-frames. Update Installation Process

The most obvious reason for updating alignment software is the constant release of new vehicle models. Every year, manufacturers introduce new chassis designs, suspension geometries, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).

If the software fails to recognize the imaging targets after an update, check your device manager. The update may require a new driver for the digital camera interface cards.

The 2024 update software introduced TLS 1.3 encryption for all manifest downloads, replacing the legacy HTTP fallback. Additionally, each update package is signed with a 2048-bit RSA key. Shops should verify that their update software version is at least to mitigate against CVE-2023-4589 (a potential man-in-the-middle attack affecting older update clients).
