Diagnostics

The mongoose ISO is a USB pass-thru device that utilizes the SAE J2534-1 API. What this means is that the Mongoose ISO uses a standard communications interface to the vehicle, allowing it to work with 3^rd party diagnostic applications. Different diagnostics and data logging applications supported are currently supported by the Mongoose, with more being added all of the time.
