    Pleasantly surprised when was able to do injector coding on a Dodge Sprinter with mercedes engine this past week. Newer updates on the US version has great coverage for Chrysler/Dodge.

    Tip#1 When your battery becomes weak do not buy a new one. Get yours rebuilt for half the price. There are a couple of companies out there that provide this service.
    www.primecell.com in the US

    Tip#2 Owners of a Solus should check the batteries every few weeks. If left for too long they leak and cause damage to the motherboard and lcd.

    Tip#3 Owners of a solus ultra should cover the MicroSD and mini USB slot with some tape to protect from water.

    If anyone can get a copy of the files off of an updated CF card.....

    Before it gets inserted into the modis/solus ...

    maybe we can get a european update working.


    It has to be a copy of the files, AFTER the dealer puts the update files on the card and BEFORE it gets inserted into the scanner.

    what happend to it? corrosion is the number 1 cause of death on these things. pull it apart sometimes you get lucky by cleaning it.
