GIT: Hyundai and Kia EDR Tool FAQs


GIT Hyundai and Kia EDR Kit Frequently Asked Questions

Which Hyundai and Kia vehicles are supported by the EDR tool kits?
In general, most 2013 model year and newer vehicles sold in the USA are supported. The vehicle MUST have a production build date of September 1, 2012 or newer. There is no EDR tool available for vehicles produced prior to this date.

The Kia EDR Tool supports Kia brand vehicles ONLY.

The Hyundai EDR Tool supports Hyundai and Genesis brands ONLY.

Will these EDR tool kits support vehicles sold in Canada?
Yes, if the vehicle model was also sold in the USA and meets the build date limitation listed above. The Kia Rondo (a Canada only model) for example, is NOT supported by the Kia EDR tool. 

Do I need a software license to use the Hyundai or Kia EDR tools?
Yes, each tool requires a dedicated software license. If you purchase both the Hyundai and Kia EDR kits, you will need a separate license for each tool.

Is an active (non-expired) license required to use the Hyundai and Kia EDR tool kits?
Yes, a current, dedicated brand software license is REQUIRED to use each EDR tool. If your license is expired, you will NOT be able to use your EDR tool until the license is renewed.

The Hyundai and Kia VCIs look remarkably similar. May I purchase one VCI tool and a subscription for each brand?
No. While the Hyundai VCI and the Kia VCI tools look alike, each requires a dedicated, brand specific software license. You can't install both licenses on a single VCI.

I already own a GIT Hyundai and/or Kia EDR tool kit. May I renew my software license through Crash Data Group?
Yes!  Crash Data Group can process your software license renewal. Contact us for more details.

What is included in the Hyundai and Kia EDR tool kits?
Each kit includes components required to download supported vehicles through the DLC/OBDII port. The components needed for D2M (direct -to-module) downloads of Airbag Control Units ARE NOT included with the EDR kits and must be purchased separately.

For a detailed list of components included in the Hyundai/Kia kits, please review their corresponding product page on our website.
