Per Noregon’s website, beginning in November 2026, the Noregon DLA+ 2.0 adapters will no longer support vehicle connections through JPRO. Instead of putting more money into your current diagnostic platform, trade in your Noregon VCI adapter and receive an $889 CREDIT toward a Jaltest setup backed by Triad.
Offer applies to qualifying Noregon VCI trade-ins with the purchase of an eligible Jaltest kit that includes Commercial Vehicle coverage. The $889 trade-in credit is applied to the qualifying purchase and has no separate cash value.
Projected Four-Year Platform Investment
For essentially the same projected four-year investment, the Jaltest complete platform includes:
| Cost Category |
Jaltest CV Complete Platform |
JPRO + NextStep Complete Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Initial platform price after applicable trade-in credit and discount | $9,023 | $8,295 |
| Three annual renewals | $6,090 | $6,885 |
| Projected four-year total | $15,113 | $15,180 |
Over four years, the Jaltest platform is projected at $67 less while adding broad commercial vehicle coverage, integrated repair information, current computer hardware, and Triad support.
Four-year comparison uses stated initial package pricing plus three annual renewals at $2,030 for Jaltest CV with INFO Online and $2,199 for JPRO with NextStep Repair. Future pricing is subject to change. Coverage and functions vary by manufacturer, model, model year, system, and ECU. Trade-in credits and promotional discounts are subject to program terms.
WHAT IS CHANGING FOR DLA+ 2.0 AND JPRO USERS?
Noregon announced that DLA+ 2.0 adapters will no longer support vehicle connections through JPRO beginning in November 2026. To continue connecting to vehicles with JPRO after the transition, affected users will need a supported replacement adapter, including Noregon’s DLA+ 3.0.
Noregon’s announcement specifically applies to JPRO vehicle connections. Addressing the change before November gives you time to decide whether to replace the adapter or put that investment toward a more capable diagnostic platform.
IS THE DLA+ 3.0 YOUR ONLY REPLACEMENT OPTION?
If you are already dealing with coverage gaps, OEM software dependence, or an aging diagnostic laptop, the transition creates a larger opportunity. A qualifying Noregon VCI carries $889 in trade-in value when applied directly toward an eligible Jaltest Commercial Vehicle diagnostic kit.
WHY EVALUATE THE COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC PLATFORM NOW?
The adapter replacement is easy to price. Coverage gaps, outside repairs, and added downtime can cost more.
When technicians cannot perform the required test, calibration, parameter change, or service procedure, the shop risks losing the related labor, parts sale, repair margin, and future customer business. Fleets experience longer downtimes, higher outside repair costs, and less control over when vehicles return to service.
YOUR CURRENT SETUP MAY BE COSTING YOU THROUGH:
HOW CAN JALTEST REDUCE DEPENDENCE ON OEM DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE?
Jaltest can reduce dependence on separate OEM applications by bringing multi-brand diagnostics, advanced functions, and repair information into one platform.
Depending on the vehicle, model year, system, ECU, and configuration, Jaltest can provide access to:
Bringing these functions into one connected platform can reduce interruptions between identifying a fault and completing the next step. It can also help your business retain more billable work, reduce outside diagnostic costs, and move vehicles through the repair process more efficiently.
WHAT VEHICLES DOES JALTEST CV COVER?
Jaltest CV is designed for shops and fleets that service more than one make, model, or vehicle class. Supported coverage extends from pickups and light commercial vehicles through medium-duty and Class 8 trucks, buses, trailers, and major vehicle and component manufacturers.

Additional Jaltest modules can extend the platform to:
Jaltest releases three software updates each year, adding brands, models, systems, and diagnostic capabilities as coverage develops. Triad will configure the software modules and cables around the work you perform today while leaving room to expand as your operation grows.
JPRO and DLA+ 3.0 vs. Jaltest CV
The right platform depends on the vehicles you service, the functions your technicians need, and how much work currently requires another tool, OEM application, or outside provider.
| Decision Factor |
Continue With JPRO and DLA+ 3.0 |
Move to Jaltest CV |
|---|---|---|
| DLA+ 2.0 transition | Replace the DLA+ 2.0 with a supported adapter for JPRO. | Apply a $889 qualifying trade-in credit toward an eligible Jaltest CV purchase. |
| Platform outcome | Continue with the current JPRO Professional environment. | Move to a configurable multi-brand diagnostic platform. |
| Vehicle coverage | JPRO markets commercial truck and supported off-highway coverage. | Supported pickups, light commercial vehicles, medium-duty trucks, Class 8 trucks, buses, trailers, and components. |
| Additional coverage | Based on available JPRO applications and packages. | Add Jaltest OHW, AGV, or MHE modules as your operation expands. |
| Advanced functions | Bi-directional tests and functions vary by supported application. | Dealer-level tests, calibrations, parameter changes, maintenance functions, and component procedures vary by supported application. |
| Repair information | JPRO Fault Guidance and available NextStep Repair information. | Jaltest INFO Online integrated with the diagnostic workflow. |
| OEM software use | Certain procedures may require separate OEM applications. | In-shop analysis shows Jaltest can complete more than 95% of repair work without OEM diagnostic software. |
| Complete setup | Continue with the current software, adapter, cables, and laptop, or purchase another available package. | Configure the software, VCI, cables, coverage modules, and a new Panasonic TOUGHBOOK together. |
UPGRADE THE COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC PLATFORM
PAIR JALTEST WITH A NEW PANASONIC TOUGHBOOK FZ-56
Modern diagnostic software depends on the computer running it. Full-vehicle scans, live data, bi-directional testing, repair information, reports, software updates, and cloud-based applications all require sufficient processing power, memory, storage, connectivity, and operating system support.
An older laptop may still open the software and connect to a vehicle, but that does not mean it can keep up with advanced diagnostic workloads throughout the day. Slow loading, unstable connections, limited storage, worn ports, and outdated hardware can undermine the capability of the entire setup.
With an eligible Jaltest kit purchase, you can add a new Panasonic TOUGHBOOK FZ-56 (i5,16GB RAM, 512 SSD) for a one-time discount of $400 for a net price of $2,395.
The promotional configuration includes:
Upgrading the laptop at the same time allows you to move into Jaltest with current hardware instead of placing new diagnostic capability on an aging computer. A new TOUGHBOOK also provides a known component history, a more predictable service life, current operating system support, and hardware designed for demanding shop and field environments.
Already have a suitable diagnostic computer? Triad can review its specifications and configure an eligible Jaltest system without a new laptop. The priority is making sure the software, VCI, cables, and computer work together as one dependable diagnostic platform.

Triad’s promotional annual renewal for Jaltest CV with INFO Online is $2,030, compared with the current $2,295 annual renewal for JPRO with NextStep Repair.

Triad helps you build the system around the work you perform before it reaches the bay.
