    Hello, I have a multidiag pro + gold device. The question is, is delphi / autocom 2016.2 or higher able to work with this device? I am currently using version 2016.0 but I miss newer years and I would like to update the program if it is an option.

    ... I would even say that 2013.3 is the last (non-combined) version that works with this interface. With the device itself, surely and newer ones will work, they only need a separate hardware key.

    The 2016 version is really 2014

    After all, I wrote that 2016 is a fake so why combine like nothing else there.

    The only question is whether any of these "new" works (unless it is identical to the older year).

    It works so that even there are no error descriptions, only displays the codes themselves and I don't know if they are correct.

    Hello, I have the 2015r3 version, I used the 2013 version so far and everything worked with Multidiag pro +. The problem is the drivers, I got an error during the update. Any of you have any newer drivers, I would appreciate your help.

    Hello, is there something on the topic?
    I have a multidiag pro + gold 2021
    I wanted to connect to autocom 2020.23. And I have a message The software in the tester is not up to date! Please update the firmware.
    I have autocom 2020.23 via the win7 virtual system but it irritates me a bit (it takes a lot of memory and CPU which slows down its functions) I would prefer this normal version on my computer.
    I have Windows 8.1 on my laptop

    As for the message, you can update the tester's software in the program, enter the hardware settings - test, if the tester detects it, then update or copy the firmware folder from the old program to the new one. As for the program it is available, there are videos on how to install it and usually there are links to everything.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around the compatibility of the Multidiag Pro+ Gold device with Delphi/Autocom software versions 2016.2 and higher. Users express skepticism about the authenticity of the 2016.2 version, suggesting it is essentially a repackaged 2014 version with additional car databases. Some users report success in using older versions (like 2013.3) with the device, while others mention the need for a separate hardware key for newer software. There are suggestions to copy the "Firmware" folder from older versions to newer ones to facilitate updates. Additionally, users discuss issues with driver errors during updates and the necessity of keeping the tester's software current. The conversation also touches on the challenges of running newer software on different operating systems and the potential for performance issues.

FAQ

TL;DR: 2013.3 is the last stable version for this interface; "2013.3 is the last that works." Newer releases need a separate hardware key. This FAQ guides Multidiag Pro+ Gold users on updates, fixes, and costs. [Elektroda, tzok, post #17703827]

Why it matters: It helps Multidiag Pro+ Gold owners choose working software, avoid dead-ends, and plan updates.

Quick Facts

Can Delphi/Autocom 2016.2 or higher work with a Multidiag Pro+ Gold?

2013.3 is the last non-combined version confirmed to work with this interface. Newer releases can work only with a separate hardware key. [Elektroda, tzok, post #17703827]

Is “2016” Delphi/Autocom a real upgrade or just 2014 rebranded?

The 2016 build is essentially the 2014 release with newer car databases. “The 2016 version is really 2014.” You do not need to update the printhead to use it. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17715125]

Do the added newer cars actually work in those 2016.x builds?

Functionality is inconsistent. Some sessions show only raw DTC codes without descriptions. “It displays the codes themselves and I don’t know if they are correct.” Treat results cautiously and verify on the vehicle. [Elektroda, coperfild, post #17721028]

How do I fix “Software in the tester is not up to date” in Autocom 2020.23?

Open Hardware settings and run Test. If the tester is detected, update the tester software there. Or copy the Firmware folder from your old working program into the new one.
  1. Close the new program.
  2. Copy the entire Firmware folder from the old program directory.
  3. Paste and overwrite it in the new program’s directory. [Elektroda, StasiuStasiowski, post #20014313]

Does the Firmware-folder copy workaround actually work?

Yes. A user confirmed success: “I copied the firmware and it works.” This indicates the connection can succeed after copying the Firmware folder into the new build. [Elektroda, wilu2, post #20027432]

What are the official update options and costs for Delphi DS150E?

Official routes exist. One‑time update costs EUR 350 net. Annual CAR MAX update costs EUR 606 net for 12 months. Tester replacement is EUR 1042 net with return of the old unit. “We will not discuss pirated software.” Contact your reseller. [Elektroda, CameR, post #17721169]

I upgraded to 2015R3 and got driver update errors—what should I try?

Use Hardware settings > Test, then update the tester software in-program. If that fails, copy the Firmware folder from your older working release into 2015R3. These two paths align with the program’s own guidance. [Elektroda, StasiuStasiowski, post #20014313]

Will newer Autocom/Delphi work if I have the proper hardware key?

Yes. “Newer ones will work, they only need a separate hardware key.” Without that key, you are limited to the last confirmed build. [Elektroda, tzok, post #17703827]

Are the “new cars” shown in 2016 builds actually new features?

Unclear. A veteran member asked whether any of the “new” entries truly work. They might be identical to older-year entries despite the label. Validate during a live session. [Elektroda, tzok, post #17719891]

How do I check if the tester is detected by the software?

Open the program’s Hardware settings and click Test. If detection succeeds, perform the in-program tester software update. Alternatively, copy the Firmware folder from a known-good install into the new one. [Elektroda, StasiuStasiowski, post #20014313]

Why does a Windows 7 VM feel slow with Autocom 2020.23?

A user reported heavy CPU and memory use when running 2020.23 in a Windows 7 VM. The load slowed program functions. They preferred a normal installation on their Windows 8.1 laptop. [Elektroda, wilu2, post #20014272]

Can Autocom 2015R3 run with Multidiag Pro+?

One user moved from 2013 to 2015R3 with a Multidiag Pro+. They reported errors during the update process related to drivers. [Elektroda, merc10, post #18098486]

What version should I choose for the most stable diagnostics?

Choose 2013.3 as your stable baseline. It is the last non-combined release confirmed to work with this interface. [Elektroda, tzok, post #17703827]
