Groundbreaking Performance, Enhanced User Experience, and Unmatched Flexibility for OEM and Aftermarket Scanning
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Opus IVS™, the leader in intelligent vehicle support solutions, proudly introduces DriveSafe2, the next-generation diagnostic tool created to enhance performance for collision repair professionals and multi-shop operators (MSOs). Based on the popular DrivePro2 platform, DriveSafe2 will launch in the collision market in 2025. MSOs and collision professionals are invited to preview DriveSafe2 at the MSO Symposium on Monday, November 4, and at SEMA booth #33071 in the South Upper Hall, November 5-8.
Advanced Design and Cutting-Edge Performance
DriveSafe2 builds on the success of DriveSafe, already the industry’s top tool for MSOs and collision shops, by delivering advancements in speed, functionality, and user control. It’s powered by Intel processors, up to Core i5, with options for a high-resolution 10″ or 13″ Gorilla Glass touchscreen, optional wireless VCI, built-in CarDAQ J2534 VCI, and ultra-fast 5G and Wi-Fi connectivity. Designed with durability in mind, DriveSafe2 is housed in an industrial-strength Opus IVS enclosure, offering configurations from 512GB to 2TB of internal storage, extended battery life, and an optional docking station for flexible shop use.
Enhanced UI and Comprehensive Diagnostic Suite
DriveSafe2 includes a refined UI that builds on the familiar DriveSafe experience, offering enhanced workflow and real-time feedback. Featuring AiVS Scan, an AI-powered, on-screen diagnostic tool, and IVS True OE Scans, where users can request authentic OEM scans with OE software and detailed reports, DriveSafe2 ensures precision in every diagnostic. The tool’s QuickADAS feature enables on-screen ADAS calibrations, and ADAS MAP helps identify and manage calibrations directly with CCC integration, making DriveSafe2 an invaluable tool for ADAS management in collision space.
Seamless Switching Between OEM and Aftermarket Scans
A standout feature of DriveSafe2 is its capability to transition smoothly between OEM and aftermarket scans within a single device. Technicians can use the DrivePro Scan Tool Hub to access aftermarket tools like Auto Enginuity and Autologic, and the 13″ model’s FarSight Mode comes with pre-installed OEM software such as Toyota GTS+, GM TLC, Jaguar Land Rover, and others—allowing users to apply their own OE licenses. This integration consolidates all diagnostic capabilities into one tool, simplifying workflow by eliminating the need for multiple devices.
Innovative My CarDAQ Mode for Flexible Application Use
The 13″ DriveSafe2 model introduces My CarDAQ Mode, a fully managed virtual machine (VM) environment that lets technicians install additional applications beyond diagnostics, including software for Estimatics, HR, payroll, and more. This virtual setup provides secure, reliable operation with easy backup and restore capabilities, marking a first in diagnostic tools by combining both business and diagnostic functionalities.
Ongoing Development and Upgrade Options for Existing Customers
DriveSafe2 will continue to evolve with updates based on user feedback and beta testing through 2024, making it an even more powerful and adaptable tool when it launches fully in 2025. To ensure existing DriveSafe users can access the latest technology, Opus IVS is offering upgrade options to transition seamlessly to DriveSafe2 when it becomes available.
Exceptional Support from Opus IVS Master Technicians
Backed by Opus IVS’s IVS360 service, DriveSafe2 offers on-demand support from brand-specific master technicians, helping shops meet the highest standards of repair accuracy and quality.
“We’re excited to introduce DriveSafe2 as the next step forward in collision diagnostics, offering collision professionals the flexibility, power, and precision they need to stay ahead,” said Brian Herron, CEO of Opus IVS. “DriveSafe2 has been in development for over two years and combines both OEM and aftermarket diagnostics in a single tool, making it the industry’s most comprehensive solution for MSOs and collision repair shops.
