The reader reads cards, not tachographs
The reader reads the driver card on your PC. To download data from the tachograph in the vehicle, you need a download key. The ideal combination: download key + reader + TAGRA program.
DOWNLOAD BOX II S – manual tachograph download, transfer to the PC by USB cable.
DOWNLOAD BOX II S Wi-Fi – manual download, transfer over Wi-Fi.
DOWNLOAD STATION – lockable wall station for driver cards.
TAGRA program – evaluation and archiving of the downloaded data.
Need downloads without visiting the vehicle?
DOWNLOAD BOX REMOTE downloads tachograph data automatically and remotely. This reader is essential for it: it reads the company card that authorises the remote downloads. The unit is installed permanently in the vehicle by a qualified installer.
Installation is currently available in Slovakia and Hungary. We are looking for installation partners in other EU countries – if your company installs tachographs or vehicle electronics and would like to represent us in your country, write to obchod@tdt.cz.
