CDS has come to the rescue by providing access to automotive diagnostics tools remotely. Automotive shops can now purchase a single configurable device that will allow them to diagnose a wide range of vehicles from anywhere in the country. Without the need for direct access to make or model specific diagnostics tools. To bring the solution to life, CDS enlisted the help of paragon innovations. Together, Paragon and CDS developed the Aztec, a device that used the Internet to connect cars to remotely located diagnostics tools. By having one asset connected to a car and the other to the appropriate diagnostics tool, it was possible to simulate a direct connection between the car and the tool. In this way, small shops can access a full complement of diagnostics tools at an affordable cost. In August of twenty fifteen, CDS approach paragon innovations once again, leading to the design, development, and deployment of the Aztec two. The company has continued to grow invite using the device that paragon developed. CDS is tirelessly working on adding support for communication with new vehicles, along with various other features, including cloud server functionality.
