The CDA supports various hardware platforms, such as wiTECH VCI Pod, StarSCAN, StarMOBILE, and Vector Hardware. The CDA can also handle off board routines and change the CAN baud rate.
In this article, we will introduce the main features and functions of the CDA, as well as the installation requirements and troubleshooting tips. We will also provide a link to download the latest version of the CDA for free.
The CDA can perform various diagnostic tasks on Chrysler vehicles, such as:
The CDA can also handle off board routines, which are routines that are not executed on the vehicle but on a separate device. For example, you can use the CDA to program a new ECU that is not installed on the vehicle yet. The CDA will prompt you to connect the ECU to a power supply and an interface device, such as a wiTECH VCI Pod or a Vector Hardware.
The CDA can also change the CAN baud rate, which is the speed of communication between the interface device and the ECU. The default CAN baud rate is 500 kbps, but some ECUs may require a different baud rate. You can change the baud rate by clicking on the "Options" menu and selecting "CAN Baud Rate". You can choose from 125 kbps, 250 kbps, 500 kbps, or 1000 kbps.
