Actia Core Xs (2024)

ACTIA Core XS is a high-performance, professional-grade Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI) that serves as the modern successor to the widely used PassThru XS 2G. It is primarily recognized as the official dealer-level interface for PSA Group vehicles (Peugeot, Citroën, DS, and Vauxhall/Opel). Hardware & Specifications

Designed for rugged workshop environments, the Core XS features a robust build and powerful internal processing to handle modern vehicle data loads. Processor: 800 MHz ARM CPU. 8 GB Flash storage and 512 MB RAM. Connectivity: Bluetooth 4.0 and dual-band WLAN (2.4/5 GHz). High-speed USB 2.0 and 10/100 Ethernet.

Compact ABS/PC plastic housing (156 x 85 x 37 mm) weighing 340g. Operating Voltage:

Supports both 12V and 24V on-board systems, making it suitable for both passenger cars and trucks. Protocol Support & Performance

The Core XS is highly versatile, supporting nearly all modern automotive communication standards: DoIP (Diagnostics over IP): actia core xs

Essential for high-speed flashing and diagnostics on newer vehicle architectures (ISO 13400).

Supports the latest high-speed CAN Flexible Data-rate protocol. Legacy Support:

Includes independent K/L-lines and standard CAN, LS-CAN, and SW-CAN. Pass-Thru Compliance: Fully compliant with SAE J2534-1 & -2 ISO 22900-2 (D-PDU API)

, allowing it to work with various OEM software suites beyond just PSA. Key Features Internal Multiplexer: ACTIA’s own software:

Automatically handles pin switching for different vehicle interfaces, eliminating the need for many external adapters. Automatic Cable Detection: Can detect up to 64 different cable types automatically. Cybersecurity:

Built with modern regulations in mind, including readiness for the Cyber Resilient Act. Stand-alone Capability:

Unlike basic dongles, it can process data on-board without a constant host connection. Professional Use Cases The ACTIA Core XS is ideally suited for:

ACTIA’s own software:

  • ACTIA Multi-Diag Truck (optional license)
  • ACTIA Vehicle Explorer (for ECU coding/parameterization)

Included Actia Software (Multi-Brand Diagnostics)

Unlike some "bare-bones" pass-thru devices, the Actia Core XS often comes bundled with Actia Multi-Brand Diagnostic Software (levels vary by region and distributor). This software allows you to perform standard diagnostics on 50+ vehicle brands without paying for an OEM subscription.

Features of the Actia Multi-Brand software:

  • Full System Scanning: Engine, ABS, Airbag, Transmission, BCM, Climate Control, and Instrument Cluster.
  • Bi-Directional Controls: Turn on fuel pumps, cycle ABS valves, activate cooling fans.
  • Adaptations and Coding: Injector coding, battery registration, steering angle calibration, and DPF regeneration.

6. Technical Deep-Dive (for developers & system architects)

  • Processor: ARM Cortex-M4 (low power, high-speed CAN processing)
  • Memory: 8GB internal flash (stores up to 3 months of trip data offline)
  • Security: Hardware-secured element, encrypted communication (TLS 1.3)
  • Power: 9–36V DC (supports 12V & 24V vehicles natively) with <2mA sleep mode
  • Certifications: CE, FCC, E-Mark, RoHS
