Second Major Update of the Year – Central Gateway Access to Nissan Vehicles
Earlier this month, E-ZDS released their second major software update of the year, introducing a range of new features and improvements. One of the standout enhancements is the Central Gateway (CGW) access for Nissan vehicles. This update is a testament to our commitment to staying ahead in the rapidly evolving automotive diagnostics industry.

New Software Release for Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis
E-ZDS has also released a Service Notice highlighting a new software update for multiple Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis vehicles’ Secure Gateway Access (SGW) control modules. This update covers 2023-2025 model years, providing critical access for many Zenith buyers who chose Z5, Z7, or G-Scan tools over more expensive OEM alternatives. This update is essential for maintaining the efficiency and effectiveness of diagnostic operations for these vehicle models.

Our goal is to provide our customers with the most advanced and cost-effective diagnostic solutions. These updates are a significant step towards achieving that goal, ensuring our tools remain at the forefront of the industry.
We encourage our customers to renew their subscriptions to take full advantage of these new features.
