i-HDS Diagnostic Software and J2534 Reprogramming Software
American Honda
Motor Co., Inc. ("Honda
") offers the i-HDS (Honda
Diagnostic System) software suite for the diagnosis and repair of electronic systems on Honda
and Acura
automobiles, and for the reprogramming of electronic control units (including, but not limited to, ECMs and PCMs). This software provides access to all Honda
and Acura
vehicle systems (access to the immobilizer security system requires aย Security Professionalย level software subscription and Vehicle Security Professional [VSP] registration with NASTF). To use the i-HDS software, you need to purchase one of our convenient subscription options. In addition, you will need a pass-thru Vehicle Communication Device (VCI) that is compliant with SAE J2534-1 and J2534-2 in order to communicate with the vehicle
Vehicle Communication Interfaces (VCI)
The i-HDS software supports the use of a generic pass-thru VCI that is compliant with SAE J2534-1 and J2534-2. However, Honda
recommends the Denso DST-i or the Bosch MVCI for use on Honda
and Acura
vehicles, as Honda
has worked closely with these manufacturers to ensure their hardware and our software interact safely and within the J2534-1 and -2 specifications, for both diagnostics and reprogramming. If you choose to use a generic VCI, please carefully consider the customer and technical support options you will receive from your chosen device supplier. Honda
does not provide technical or customer support for generic VCI devices.
The VCI Application Table below lists devices that either are approved and supported by Honda
or are known to have completed and passed an independent, exhaustive validation program with our i-HDS software suite.
| VCI Name | Manufacturer | Version Information | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Firmware | J2534 API | |||
| DST-i | DENSO | 2.02.0002* | 04.04 | This is the current generation VCI used by Honda |
| DST-nano | DENSO | 2.02.0002* | 04.04 | This is the current generation VCI used byย Honda |
| MVCI | Bosch | 3.01.60* | 04.04 | This is the previous generation VCI used by Honda |
| MongoosePro Honda | Drew Technologies | 1.9.5** | 04.04 | This company has completed an independent i-HDS validation and claims it to function with the i-HDS software. Honda |
| d-briDGe Pro | Dearborn Group | 3.303** | 04.04 | This company has completed an independent i-HDS validation and claims it to function with the i-HDS software. Honda |
* These versions may have been superseded. Honda
provides the latest supported versions to current i-HDS subscribers.
** Version used in validation program. See Terms and Conditions and Important Notice Regarding Reprogramming below for more details.
Reprogramming with theย J2534 Rewriteย Application in i-HDS
Included in the i-HDS software suite is a new reprogramming application called J2534 Rewrite. This application is made available to all subscribers of the i-HDS software suite and replaces the previous generation software,ย J2534 Honda
Pass-thru Reprogramming Software.
This new application is compatible with generic VCIs that comply with SAE J2534. It must be used to reprogram any Honda
/Acura
vehicle equipped with ECUs that support reprogramming. Refer to the table below for legacy applicability for the programming of ECMs and PCMs. Though system dependent, late-model vehicles may be equipped with other ECUs that support reprogramming as well, e.g. ABS or VSA.ย J2534 Rewriteย must be used to reprogram these control modules, as instructed in an applicable service bulletin.
As shown in this table, not all legacy Honda
/Acura
models are equipped with a reprogrammable ECM/PCM. Furthermore, all 2007 and later models not listed in the table are fully supported with this application.

Esta notificaciรณn ha sido enviada a usted de acuerdo con el decreto de la oficina de Administraciรณn Nacional de Seguridad del Trรกfico en las
Carreteras (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration o NHTSA por sus siglas en inglรฉs). Honda
ha determinado que ciertos vehรญculos
Fit aรฑo modelo 2018โ 2020 fallaron con el cumplimiento de la Norma Federal de Seguridad para Vehรญculos de Motor No. 111, โRear Visibilityโ
(Visibilidad trasera).
Debido a un circuito de alimentaciรณn d iseรฑado incorrectamente, es posible que la unidad de audio
en pantalla no se inicie cuando se arranca el motor con una llave. Como resultado, es posible que
no se muestre la imagen de la cรกmara para ver hacia atrรกs, lo que puede afectar la vista del
conductor y aumentar el riesgo de un choque o lesiones.
Su concesionario reprogramarรก la unidad de audio en pantalla con un programa actualizado, de
forma GRATUITA. Honda
estima que la reparaciรณn tomarรก aproximadamente 20 minutos para
completar. No obstante, su concesionario le puede ofrecer un mejor estimado del tiempo total de
esta visita de servicio, ya que pudiera ser necesario que su vehรญculo estรฉ disponible por un periodo
mรกs largo.
