Designed to protect vehicle electronics from cyber threats and hacking – manufacturers secure the vehicle data in order to limit the access to protected diagnostic data. It is noteworthy that the scope of protected data differs from vehicle manufacturer to vehicle manufacturer. In the face of increasingly stringent and commonplace protected vehicle data SDA from Bosch helps workshops to deliver a full service to their customers. As without access to this data, the diagnostic capabilities are very limited. The launch of SDA in 2021 was just a starting point. Since then, the number of models with protected vehicle data has grown. SDA is therefore being continuously expanded (brand and make).
