1. Catalog entry
The catalog entry has been visually completely redesigned to simplify the beginning of your parts search. Instead of long lists, there are now search fields and dropdowns to make it easier for you to find the right part.

2. Catalog entry - Search
You can certainly start your parts search using the two search fields at the top of the home page.
In the first search field, start with a VIN or model. Previous entries are saved and displayed. As a result, you will be redirected to the catalog.
In the second search field you can enter part numbers directly or search for keywords. The results are displayed directly.
To provide the best results for your search, combine both search fields.

3. Catalog entry – series & model
If you do not know the series and model or looking for a special aggregate, you can use the three-stage selection within the dropdowns.
First, select the appropriate division by clicking on the corresponding image. The options for aggregate, series and model are then available to you.

4. Parts catalog
In addition to the catalog entry, the catalog itself has also received a visual overhaul.
The main focus was on simple user navigation, including different main groups.
In addition, the categories were removed and the well-known aggregate structure was included.

5. Parts catalog – Aggregates
After you have entered the parts catalog, you need to navigate to the part you are looking for. First, select the corresponding aggregate in the header of the catalog. If the unit is not unique to the previously selected vehicle or model, you can select the fitting one.

6. Parts catalog – Maingroups
On the left side you will now find a list of all main groups for the selected aggregate.
A search bar simplifies your navigation to the desired main group.
If you need more space on your screen for the drawing and parts list, you can also minimize the main group list to the numbers. By moving the mouse over the numbers, the names of the groups become visible again briefly.

7. Parts catalog – Subgroups
The selection of the desired subgroup takes place in the main area of ​​the catalog and is supported by the preview of the exploded drawings.
Once you have selected a subgroup, the corresponding drawing and parts list will be displayed. A change in drawings and subgroups is still maintained by using the slider that we presented to you in the last release letter.

Navigation elements in the header, sidebar and footer areas as well as all website content are unaffected by this language selection. For these areas, the language can be changed in the website header.

You can now select and save the correct aggregates in the data card of the vehicle overview. This means you don't have to look up the unit numbers for every repair job to get to the correct part.

12. Parts packages
The parts packages are now integrated into the page navigation. The packages have the same design as the parts catalog itself. On the left you will find the main groups. You can browse these or collapse them to create more space on the screen.
In the main area of ​​the window you will find the packages belonging to the main group.
Selecting a package opens the included parts list. Related packages are displayed, too.
