Thanks for vid. My snap on guy says my verus edge is not gonna have updates anymore and trying to put me in a modis something. Always ripping me off. Any truth to that, does anyone know.
They will be supporting the verus edge for a long time to come. The original verus I think ran out of memory so the can't support that model. But I haven't heard that
@@JRC54 too right mate, its their latest platform and they're calling the verus pro a 'Legacy' platform....meaning older hat....i think that model can be updated to 18.4 and thats it , end of update/support , as far as ive read and seen on here.....
nothing wild and crazy?? ive just seen a vid warning about the 17.4 and 18.2 version software bug destroying 2009> TOYOTA airbag module and Snap-On have released a patch to overcome it in 18.4......have you had any Toyotas thro your place? or even heard of this bug? who pays when that happens? is there insurance against this? is that why second hand verus edge prices have dived since 2016 and people are offloading them? i mean...who sells a scan tool? most mechanics end up with a bunch of them cos they all have different capabilities to the next one so you've got the widest possible coverage , albeit in a half dozen ageing scan tools....
I heard of that same bug. I never had any issues with Toyota. I think the scanners have dropped in price because snap on keeps making newer ones. Like the Zeus, P1000 and Apollo. Im getting ready to update to 19.2 so hopefully there not any issues with that
Good vid and info. Unfortunately, the need, cost, etc. is only going to be a constant with automobile repair. I’m a believer that less is more but I’m in the minority and vehicle manufacturers give the public what they want. The inside of a new vehicle to me is one big driving distraction. It’s like driving one big smart phone. I wouldn’t doubt eventually if a car manufacturer becomes part of a lawsuit for creating a distraction, much like being on your cell phone while driving when getting in a accident. Sorry for the rant, but electric windows/locks, fuel injection, and a decent radio is all the technology I need.
yep you've just hit your technology ceiling right there mate,,,,,Unfortunately from the days when this tech was all to give you an efficient running clean burning engine, it has changed drastically to the point where all systems are incorporated and you have to be an instrument technician to work on modern cars ,not a mechanic anymore, and you're practically flying a 747 with more computing power than NASA had to send men to the moon, allegedly.... :¬)
Thanks for taking time
I updated my modis edge on Friday
SWR
Just picked up my first scanner. Solus edge 18.4. Just playing so far but
super excited to get started.
This was definitely a helpful video! My Ethos Edge is only updated to the 18.2 .
Wish I had a Ethos Edge.
@@JRC54 really? How come? The ones you have do so much more than what my Ethos can do.
Need a nice and small bi-directional scanner Ethos is one of my favorites.
Hi mate I have snap on solus ultra my last software is 15.2 help me please update???
Great video bud!!!!
Dude I love your fucken tool box
The problem for me is the cost to upgrade the scanner and it’s overall price.
