You're my Kinda guy!!!... Appreciate this, I bought a Modis new in 2009 and got sick and sold my shop, I am just now getting back and appreciate this video much more than a Snap on tutorial!!!
What a fantastic down to earth intro for those that don't know what these tools are capable of, those who are on the fence and those who are brand new to them (like myself). I really appreciate you taking the time to make something like this for the benefit of the others. I'm sure many will get inspired to invest in these pro-level tools that are now available to us at a bargain price (these were $4-$8k new). Thank you! PS. I'm a tool freak myself and would love to get a tour of your shop/tools. I mean not the basic boring stuff like screwdrivers/rachets etc but shop equipment type of stuff and may be a video of your favorite tools. Added bonus would be keeping the video length to no more than 10 mins :)
MrBuddysAdventures thank you my friend I am glad I was able to help. I will do more videos soon and I am sorry this one was so long. Will do better next time. Cheers.
I watched it from start to end and enjoyed every second of it. Thank you again for all the helpful tips, demo and other information you've provided which would've taken me 5x as long to figure out on my own.
Really enjoy your videos especially on electricial diagnostic. I also became a diagnostic nut about the same time as you. (watching SD when he first started videos) I bought a Modis after watching your video --best automotive lab scopes-- and love it! (500.00 on Ebay) My Modis also froze up after the power became disconnected from the battery. To reset try this--remove the left black hand grip--there is a tiny reset button above the cf card---you can barely get your finger in there! Hope this helps you or someone else. Learning from each other. cheers
Joe Car whatever where have you been five years ago my friend LOL. That MODIS is gone. Thank you so much for supporting my channel what a great way to learn and share knowledge. Cheers
Lots of information provided in this video for the folks who were wondering about the Modis and wants to come on over on the other side of the fence. Keep up the good work!
Vantage Pros are actually more sought after due to their more compact form factor. The Modis has the scanner+scope both so you don't need two separate tools BUT since the scan tools are only as good as the version and vehicles they support in a way they will always become obsolete. So in my view a vantage pro (for scope/graphing/testing pov) and an inexpensive but a decent bi-directional scan tool (that you upgrade every so often depending on your usage) would be a pretty decent way to go.
2nd time watching!!!... learned a lot again and even what Modis means, I swear I was thinking of it must mean something!!…. Bravo!!… Thanks again for doing this!
Awesome video!Thank you for explaining how it functions. I have a 2006 Honda Accord SE with 2.7L engine auto trans. What level software should I look for when shopping for a Modis? One other thing is that you mentioned the 4-way button on upper right where you had some problems scrolling in menus. What were the symptoms? Bad contacts in the switch? Thank you! Mike
You were talking about updating the tool at approx. 5:00. If updates are $800 a year and you skipped 2 years of updates. Then on the 3rd year you wanted to get it updated, would you pay $800 and get all 3 years worth of previous updates, or will you have to pay $800 for each previous year and your total would be $2,400 to get your scanner current with all 3 years of updates?
I bought a MODIS. I do not have an RPM adapter to plug into its nine pin port. Can anyone tell me which of the nine pins are the signal and ground. I would like to adapt a two pin pickup to work on it.
Modis has four channel lab scope which is big advantage compare to Vantage pro that has two channels. Modis is also scan tool. However Vantage pro has option that no other tools have and that is internal graphing amp meter that eliminates need for amp clamp and its very accurate. I use it every time I have car with parasitic draw. Check this video. Thank you ruclips.net/video/WLAZYye9kyE/видео.html
@@kyhomegarage3430 Thank you for this informati'll But really you didn't answer my question... I know that is hard to recommend one product over the other and also that depends in what the unit/tool is going to be used for.

Hello Ramon...Thank you very much for taking the time to make the Modis video’s (and others). I know I am many, many years late to the party, but I just recently bought a second hand Modis. It appears to function normally but I have never heard the cooling fan operate. Should it be running all the time or is thermostat/thermistor controlled? It does appear to be able to spin freely...Following your new boat project with interest. Cheers 👍
Hi my friend. I don’t remember if cooling fan runs all the time but I do remember that it did when you plug battery and AC charger. I don’t have MODIS anymore.👍

My screen has developed lines making it hard to see in my Snap On Vantage MT2400. I was thinking of looking to replace it with a Modis but. I only own this to work on obd1 1989 Corvette and 1995 Chevrolet K1500 truck. My newer vehicles we take to the dealer. Is the Modis compatible with GM Obd1? I also own a MT2500 red box. Thanks for any info. It looks like no easy way to repair my Vanatge MT2400
Simon flores Vantage pro is excellent scope but MODIS is four channel scope and scanner as well. MODIS offer so much more but t is bigger unit which sometimes can be annoying. If you look for scope only you will not be disappointed with any of tool you chose . If you need more help send me your info to this email ruzic@bellsouth.net thank you .
Hello ! Are you as an expert prompt please having modis you do the diagnostics by scanner only for your domestic American market or have serviced European and Asian cars not for the US market? Question such buying on ebay in the Us midis can I fully work with scanner with auto not only for the Us?
Excellent presentation. I've been looking for a video like this for a while. I haven't bought one yet, but what if the unit you buy online is missing the hidden memory card, scope or scanner modules? Thanks
Would you please give an example (video) of fan testing of a car using this scanner from start to end (until stop communication) and turn off the snap on modis. Thanks.
Hey good video for the beginner , as you know Paul Danner goes into detail on how to use this tool if you subscribe to his premium channel and it's only 10.00 a month which is well worth it, I do have a 4 gas anaalizer which is great on carburated cars I picked one up on Ebay for 100.00 many years ago , You can also get some great deals from pawn shops I got my snap on vantage pro from a Pawn America it's like BRAND NEW and is updated to 2012 only used 3 times and I got some extra adaptors for 400.00 and a guarntee , I have a Autel DS 708 , it's a good scanner updated to 2016 but each one has there advantages if I was doing this on a regular basis I would probally go with the New OTC or Snap on but I am a retired Auto Tech and only work on a part time basis at 67 but keep the video's coming I enjoy them all !
Yes sir SD is the one who inspired me to star automotive diagnostic. I didn't subscribe to his premium channel yet but I will soon. I will make couple more videos on Snap On MODIS for other viewers who may benefit from it. Thank you so much for supporting my channel.
I just bought the Modis Ultra used but it will not come with test leads - I know I need the shielded, scope leads with common ground plugs as well - is there anywhere aftermarket I can buy them or do I have to go through Snap On? They are $30 each at Snap On!.
hey ramon, when i m using a scanner, it is powered through pin 16 of the DLC, right?...but if i am at the garage, am i allowed to simultaneously(at the same time) power it from an external source also, such as wall outlet via the adapter?
I have verus pro and it came with personal communication keys which I never had to use. Do you know when would you really need to use those keys on verus pro? Nice video BTW
Davit Shamatava on my Modis I don't need them for GM cars. I believe it's because of software. Don't worry about that if tools needs a key to communicate it will tell you. Cheers
I have a problem with my Modis...it just stopped working one day and gave some kind of CF card error. I tried and tried to "clone" other Modis CF cards, with no luck. I even tried to delete/add lines of code in certain BIN files to try to get it to boot up again with the various CF cards I have, but still no luck. I can plug a USB mouse to my modis and access Windows CE. Of course, Snap On does NOT support the old Modis so I'm THOUSANDS of dollars in the hole. Is there anyway I could get an image of known working CF card? I know there are files in the CF card I could change the serial number to make a match. I would really like to get it working again if not just for the lab scope. HELP...? Show less REPLY
@@dannyscarpati7049, Snapon does support the Modis. I just spoke to my Snapon Rep. yesterdsy on 12-13-18 and he said they have updates twice a year. If you miss one update it is $1,200 to get caught up whether the Modis needs 2 or 10 updates. He had brand new ones on the truck. You can go to the Snapon website and see them. snapon.com
@@707SonomaComa snapon only supports the new thin body Modis. The old fat body design like this guy is using and like I have had for the last 10 15 years is no longer supported.
hello got a problem with a modis eems300 got off ebay When plugging in power supply 3 beeps and then hit power button 6 beeps Item worked before shipment Hard to find any diagnostics info Your input would be greatly appeciated of course :]
I would like to know how you got the 57 chevy theme on your unit. I have 16.2 on mine and it don't have this theme as a option. I have seen others with car themes on them.
This is my second modis and neither has had the car theme option. My first one had 14.2 and the one i have now which is the checker flag edition had 13.2 which i updated to 16.2 i had someone tell me their snapon dealer put the car theme on theirs. I dont think my dealer can do this.
HERO N ERIC No you can't.That is why some people like to have two separate units scanner and labscope but it's lot more money. Only Snapon toll that can do it is Verus because you can split screen in two .
Mark Patton I am not sure. I believe CF card is designated to single unit only ones is activated. I would call Snapon customers service they will know for sure. 1-800-424-7226. I don't want to give you any misleading info. Thanks for watching sir. Cheers
Yes, the CF card is married to the unit or so I have been told. I guess I'll take the rocker thumb switch out of mine to fix the one I bought. Thx for the reply.
For me Auto Enginuity is the way to go. $1500 buys all extensions and updates are only $60. For mobile diagnostic there is nothing that comes close. These snap-on scanner come with all that junk. Had a 50lbs case. Now All I need is small laptop with auto enginuity and pico scope. With all the probes and wires, everything fits in small backpack. All powered by laptop battery. For example, auto enginuity had over 2000 pids on Benz. Snap-on had 30% of that. Sold it.
Auto Enginuity is great scan tool. Base price is $250.00 and for any additional enhance coverage you have to pay extra $150.00 to $200.00 . Plus price of pico scope which is the best automotive scope on the market cost 800.00 for basic 2 channel scope kit. I still believe for DIY MODIS is great option and prices are going down on this unit. And what junk you are talking about those are connectors for OBD I cars. Thank you for watching.
I have one of them. It's nice, $1200 worth of nice. Looking for a scope though. Found a loaded up modis on eBay for $785 after tax title and liscense. Now I have a 4channel scope and then some!
Too much talking and not enough in depth reviewing. Would be nice to have an actual car that has problems and get some live data retreiving. Kind of go along with us the viewers. We can learn by ourselves quite easuly what has been covered here. Thanks for posting I still enjoyed the video and have watched it to the end. God Bless.
Software industry complete goes gang mode in every industry. This scam by auto makers and tool seller i have a dead solus in hand no update and or pay 2k lol bettwr to biy havked for $300 u deserve this snap on

Yeah, I have an OTC Encore to compliment the Vantage and it works pretty well. But there are times when the 4 channels on that Modis look pretty good!
Hantek could be cheep alternative if you need scope with more than two channels. Vantage Pro is very nice scope as well.

Had a 50lbs case. Now All I need is small laptop with auto enginuity and pico scope. With all the probes and wires, everything fits in small backpack. All powered by laptop battery. For example, auto enginuity had over 2000 pids on Benz. Snap-on had 30% of that. Sold it.
Auto Enginuity is great scan tool. Base price is $250.00 and for any additional enhance coverage you have to pay extra $150.00 to $200.00 . Plus price of pico scope which is the best automotive scope on the market cost 800.00 for basic 2 channel scope kit. I still believe for DIY MODIS is great option and prices are going down on this unit. And what junk you are talking about those are connectors for OBD I cars. Thank you for watching.
I have one of them. It's nice, $1200 worth of nice. Looking for a scope though. Found a loaded up modis on eBay for $785 after tax title and liscense. Now I have a 4channel scope and then some!
do you know where i can fix my scanner snap on
Do you have to buy the flash card for extra memory specifically for the Modis or can you use a generic one?
Lorraine Hillman sorry but I really don't know. I always used original.
You can use a generic one.
Too much talking and not enough in depth reviewing. Would be nice to have an actual car that has problems and get some live data retreiving. Kind of go along with us the viewers.
We can learn by ourselves quite easuly what has been covered here.
Thanks for posting I still enjoyed the video and have watched it to the end.
God Bless.
Thank you for watching and sorry for disappointment sir.
