Hi Sean The voice of experience hey! Seriously thought, your comments display the depth of your understanding on this subject. Clearly you have either got the dealer tool or Autologic & the confidence that these bring is evident. I remember reading some posts a while back, where respected members where suggesting that "dealer level" was the way forward. My thoughts at the time, was that it was possibly a little OTT & elitist. More recently though, I have experiences many times, that "generic tools" only scrape the surface. I have since found that often with the true dealer tool, that the answers aren't always forthcoming. With many sub menu's to explore before you succeed in your goal, I often wonder how the generic tools cope with such complex procedures. The way things are going, I can see the manufacturers are really going to concentrate on "overcomplicating" the job. Especially as BER stipulates that services need to be carried out in accordance with "Manufactures Recommendations". All they need to do is introduce a subtly hidden sub menu, that only those who are "in the know" know about. In the event of an warranty claim, the Dealer outlet could argue that appropriate entry wasn't entered into the service log etc etc. To be honest, if the manufacturers, decided to play "real hard ball" then the majority of the independent sector would be screwed. With most of the TIS systems now going the "secure server" route & the diagnostic platforms going the same way. Those relying on the likes of Snap-on or Autodiagnos will be just about coping (at best) I used to think that comments similar to what I have just made, where just scaremongering thoughts, but I can now see that the things we have taken for granted, are soon to be taken to another level. I am sure that many expamples are already out there. Cheers Dave
