DG Technologies Announces the launch of the new DPA XL PRO diagnostic adapter, and DGD PRO diagnostic software!

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. – February 25, 2026 – DG Technologies announces the launch of its new DPA XL PRO scan tools and DGD PRO diagnostic software as part of the next generation in DG’s trusted Dearborn Protocol Adapter (DPA) line of heavy-duty diagnostic hardware and software engineered for fleets, OEMs and service professionals who depend on reliability, cybersecurity and future-ready performance.

Like its predecessor DG Diagnostics (DGD), the updated DGD PRO diagnostic software works with the DPA XL PRO adapter to allow service bay technicians to quickly diagnose and report vehicle health issues without having to purchase full-featured OEM software.

As commercial trucks adopt higher-speed networks and increasingly necessary cybersecurity requirements, traditional diagnostic tools these days often fall short. Built to meet these challenges head-on, both DGD PRO and the DPA XL PRO scan tool integrate advanced vehicle communication capabilities with CyberGuard, DG Technologies’ enhanced cybersecurity protection suite.

The rugged, shop-ready DPA XL PRO adapter combines secure wireless connectivity and broad OEM software compatibility to protect uptime and streamlines service operations. With built-in secure WiFi and Bluetooth radios, and support for modern protocols, the DPA XL PRO ensures technicians’ safe access to critical vehicle systems without compromising network integrity and security. DG Technologies’ patented smart pin-switching technology eliminates the need to buy redundant cables when industry standards change.

Designed and built in the United States, the DPA XL PRO delivers advanced support for Diagnostics over Internet Protocol (DoIP), J1939 and J1708, among other heavy-duty communication protocols, and ensures seamless access to vehicle data across diesel, alternative and zero-emission platforms.

Engineered for both current and future vehicle architectures, the DPA XL PRO features a secure firmware update process and compatibility with DGD PRO and the rest of DG Technologies’ Truck-Connect advanced diagnostic predictive maintenance software suite to deliver fast, accurate insights while protecting vehicle networks. DPA XL PRO also works with DG’s DPA Health, DPA Inspect, DPA Mobile Diagnostics, TruckCrypt2 and Blue Bird NEAT Software.

DPA XL PRO will be available through DG Technologies and authorized distributors. For more information on it and the soon-to-be released DGD PRO software, visit www.dgtech.com or contact the DG sales team at (248) 888-2000 or sales@dgtech.com.
