AUTOCOM diagnostic software for multi-brand workshops
AUTOCOM is a multi-brand diagnostic platform covering both car and truck applications through a single PC-based system. The software communicates with vehicle ECUs via the included VCI (vehicle communication interface) hardware, reading fault codes, performing live data monitoring, and running component activation tests across a range of commercial and passenger vehicle makes.
At Truckstop Group, AUTOCOM packages are supplied by Serenco UK. The CARS package covers car applications; the TRUCK package covers commercial vehicles. Both are available in variable-duration subscription formats. The VCI hardware is included with the package — it connects to the vehicle's OBD port and communicates with the diagnostic laptop via the AUTOCOM software.
The Bosch KTS 560 and KTS 590 PC diagnostic interfaces provide the alternative route to multi-brand diagnostics for workshops using ESI[tronic] software. The KTS range uses the same OBD connection approach with Bosch's own diagnostic gateway hardware.
For workshops servicing a mixed fleet of cars and commercial vehicles, the AUTOCOM system's ability to cover both through a single subscription is the practical advantage over single-brand OEM tools.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between AUTOCOM CARS and TRUCK packages?
The CARS package covers passenger car and light van applications. The TRUCK package covers heavy commercial vehicles, buses, and coaches. If your workshop services both, both packages are available — check with Serenco UK whether a combined package suits your requirements.
What is a VCI in the context of AUTOCOM diagnostics?
A VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) is the hardware unit that connects to the vehicle's OBD diagnostic port and communicates with the diagnostic laptop running AUTOCOM software. It handles the protocol translation between the vehicle's ECU communication protocols and the PC.
How do AUTOCOM subscriptions work?
AUTOCOM software is licensed on a subscription basis. The subscription covers access to the software database and updates for the subscription period. Variable-duration options allow workshops to choose the subscription length that suits their usage.
Does AUTOCOM cover all HGV makes?
AUTOCOM TRUCK covers the main European commercial vehicle makes including Volvo, DAF, Scania, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Renault, and Iveco, as well as a range of ancillary systems. Coverage varies by make and model year. Contact Serenco UK for the current vehicle coverage list.
