TEXA IDC5 Software Overview

TEXA TXT Navigator

TEXA Diagnostic tools are built for companies that want to cover 99% of the diagnostic commands and functions that OEM dealers can perform. TEXA goes well beyond being a basic code reader, as it allows you to perform advanced functions such as DPF regens, derate resets, program injectors, configure PTO settings, reset maintenance indicator light, test injectors, and literally tens of thousands more.

This tool also performs all the common functionality you'd expect out of a diagnostic tool:

  • View and clear both generic SAE codes and OEM fault codes
  • Complete coverage of a vehicle including engine, transmission, ABS, ADAS, cab, chassis, and many more
  • Ability to record data and playback later
  • Graph multiple sensor values at the same time
  • View live data with easy to understand dashboards
  • The TEXA software only works with the TEXA TXT vehicle communication interface (VCI), which is both Bluetooth and USB.

Updates

TEXA IDC5 software has no required annual fees. If you choose to not renew your software license, you will still have full functionality, but you will lose access to software updates, Diesel Laptops repair information, training, and our technical call center.

There is no penalty for late fees, and you can renew at any time. TEXA IDC5 software typically has three major updates per year plus minor releases as well. Updates include coverage on both newer model trucks plus expanded coverage on existing coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I work on FCA (Fiat Chrysler) 2018 and newer vehicles?
FCA made it mandatory that diagnostic tools are authorized by FCA to run certain commands and functions. The TEXA IDC5 software is authorized, but you must also pay FCA an annual fee to have access to the function. This blog post has more details.

What happens if I don't renew?
Your tool will still function at the level as of your last update. However, you can not receive new updates, technical support, or any services offered by Diesel Laptops. We strongly encourage you to buy a renewal each year.

Does it do {command/test} on {pick manufacturer name} trucks/equipment?
This software literally does tens of thousands of diagnostic commands from equipment across the world. There is no command-specific coverage chart, but we can make it simple: For commercial trucks, expect this tool to do 99% of what the OEM software can accomplish. You will not find a tool that has more coverage or commands that TEXA IDC5 does not have.

Can I program ECMs with TEXA IDC5?
It depends on what your definition of "program" means to you. This tool can change parameters (Road Speed, Cruise Speed, PTO settings, & much more) plus program certain components such as injectors and VGT actuators. However, it cannot do a complete ECM software level update or program a blank ECM. To accomplish this, we sell both OEM programming software and offer remote programming kits you can rent.
