Hi everyone,
I understand why you’d see it that way, but the real value behind it is how AutoHex II HW5 represents a complete overhaul in processing power, safety, and compatibility for modern vehicle architectures, especially the newest generation of BMW electronics. In the end, what matters most is whether it consistently delivers real results for technicians and users in actual diagnostic and programming work.
As mentioned,
We tried our best to make HW4 stable in the new software, but there is no way to make it reliable in ENET protocols. The MCU is very slow to handle the new programming methods in Autohxth. The same applies to USB. We are not forcing you to upgrade your hardware. You can continue using the current features available on HW4. However, New GUI requires HW5 sir and if your Autohex is hw4 , we recommend you to upgrade to HW5
