License key required to “unlock” BUDS/BUDS2 program.

Dealers license (standart diagnostic mode) – SkiDoo, SeaDoo, PWC, ATV, Roadster, SSV
Skidoo-diagnosis of snowmobiles,
SeaDoo – diagnosis of boats,
PWC – diagnosis of personal watercraft,
ATV – diagnosis of Quads,
Roadster – diagnosis of tricycles,
SSV – diagnostic of Side-By-Side.

BRP provide license keys for authorized dealers, for certain brands, that are serviced by dealers. For example, the dealer “ATV” can not serve the “Roadster”, because it can not connect to the system! Or, the dealer “PWC” can not serve “SeaDoo Sport Boats”.

B.U.D.S. always need a MPI interface and a matching access/license to be fully operational (to unlock BUDS/BUDS2).

We can provide BUDS/BUDS2 access/licenses (validity 1, 2,  years) for MPI-2 and MPI-3 interfaces for servicing of all BRP vehicles.

This depends on the model of your adapter. Today, there are two models of adapters: MPI-1, MPI-2 and MPI-3

MPI-1 – the old adapter, able to work in three main protocols: KW2000-250k, DESS, 947-DI. Communicates with the computer via RS-232, also called a COM port. It supports almost all models 4-TEC, which support the exchange rate 250k KW2000 protocol as well as the entire line of 2-stroke technology. Due to lack of KW2000 protocol with baud rate 500k is not able to handle E-TEC technology, and some models of ATV Can Am.

MPI-2 and MPI-3 – a modern adapter USB, which uses the protocol CAN, supports transfer rate of 25 to 1000k. For the diagnosis of BRP vehicles used KW2000-250k and KW2000-500k. As a standalone unit, supports vehicles 4-TEC and E-TEC, without the possibility of record keys. With prefix DESS Post is able to register the keys, and is able to serve the full range of vehicles BRP, including old-style, like his younger brother, the MPI-1.

MPI-1 adapter is no longer supported by software.

The latest software B.U.D.S. only works with MPI-2 and MPI-3 adapter.

Common questions

NOTE: Always use the latest B.U.D.S. version available

on website http://files.brptuning.com.ua/

1. Vehicle connector the 6-pin diagnostic connector.

2. Connect DIAGNOSTIC CABLE (P/N 710 000

851) to vehicle connector.

3. Connect cable remaining connector to

MPI-3 INTERFACE (P/N 529 036 353 )

4. Connect remaining MPI-3 interface connector to the USB port of a PC (personal computer)

5. B.U.D.S. Software

IMPORTANT: Ensure all connections have been

made before starting B.U.D.S. to allow proper

operation.

6. Connect D.E.S.S. key to vehicle D.E.S.S. post.

Briefly press the start/stop button to power the

ECM. Engine must not crank!!!!

Start B.U.D.S. and logon.

Check MPI-3 protocol. It must be set to Kw2000

(500K)

Number 4 means that 4 “ECUs” are connected:

– ECM

– Information center

– iBR

– iS

Read ECM by clicking the Read Data button.

B.U.D.S. is now ready to use. 

The MPI-3 includes 2 status lights to show the

connection conditions: USB and CAN. Both lights

must be GREEN so that MPI-3 works properly.

Based on our many years of experience in the sale of diagnostic equipment for BRP vehicles (PWC SeaDoo, ATV, SSV and Spyder / Ryker Can-Am, snowmobiles Skidoo / Lynx), we have come to the conclusion that many repair shops need a unified adapter that would allow reduce the number of devices and wires required for maintenance. So we got the idea to develop such an adapter.

After half a year of our efforts, I present to you the result:

2-in-1 ECM/Cluster Connection Interface DIUS (2-in-1/ ECM/Cluster + Power Interface).

3-in-1 ECM/Cluster Connection Interface DIUS ( 3-in-1 /ECM/Cluster +DESS 4-TEC+ Power Interface (4-tec)

4-in-1 ECM/Cluster Connection Interface DIUS MPI (4-in 1 ECM/Cluster + Dess 4tec + Power Interface + MPI-3 adapter (4-tec).

4. What diagnostic equipment (interfaces and cables) was connected between PC and vehicle?

5. If during diagnostic procedures you got a alert window about any error, it is necessary to provide us a screenshot.

6. Saved MPEM document of vehicle.

If you provide this information – it will speed up the solution of the problem-email: natalia7chubkova@gmail.com

Very frequently asked questions about which version of BUDS and what equipment use to diagnose vehicles BRP.

For the diagnosis of 2-stroke vehicles required:

1. MPI-3 adapter.

2. DESS Post EFI/RFI/DI/4-TEC.

3. 2-stroke cable.

4. MPI-3 cable.

5.Power interface (P/N 515177223)

6. License key for B.U.D.S.

For the diagnosis of 4-stroke vehicles required:

1. MPI-3 adapter.

2. MPI-3 cable.

3. DESS Post EFI/RFI/DI/4-TEC. (for add keys for SeaDoo, SkiDoo)

4.Power interface (P/N 515177223)

5. License key for B.U.D.S.

We have developed a DESS 4-TEC, which reduces the cost of equipment for those who do not work with 2-stroke engines.
