Bartec Auto ID Limited (Bartec) is urging tyre technicians to update their tools, after the company released the R55.1 TPMS software update.
 
Following its previous R55.0 upgrade, the TPMS experts have now released the latest version, compatible with TECH500SDE, TECH400SDE and TECH300 tools, proving that the British manufacturer is constantly developing and evolving its offering.

 
Bartec has extended its make, model and year selections (50). Meanwhile, the company also expanded the number of make, model and year selections of universal sensors available for Schrader EZ-sensors (44), Huf IntelliSens (24) and Alligator sens.it (48). The latest update covers new vehicles and sensors fitted as standard by vehicle manufacturers, as well as programmable or universal sensors.
 
Also, there are brand new vehicle relearn processes that can be added to the tools.
 
Customers who have registered their tools can access the latest update and download it immediately; technicians that haven’t, however, are urged to do so quickly, to ensure they offer the best service possible.

How to download the software
 
Users need to log into their own unique member area, locate the update in ‘downloads’ and install it to their computer – or by Wi-Fi, if using the TECH500SDE.
 
Once installed on their tool, users can simply navigate their way through the user-friendly and simple menu, finding ‘My Tool’ and then ‘Update Tool’.
 
Then, with the tool plugged into the computer with the USB cable that accompanies the tool kit, the content can be dragged and dropped into the device folder. Once at 100% verification, the tool is fully-updated and ready to use.
