LONSDOR K518

My objection was if its not perfect you don’t ask to pay subscription, I personally never had an issue with obdstar X100 tool and obdstar other tools don’t work they never ask for subscription, look end of the day its your choose your money.

In the software developing business not exist the "perfect release" just revision control

In normal case there is a testing team working on the project too. If not..well you get a crap. Our case is special bcose impossible to find and test every kind of car with every kind of sw version. The majority of the teams are not testing at all or just a bare minium. Ohh if we lucky perhaps with some reliable buddies. Thats the main reason why we working with crap tools and the infuriating part is they don't care about the user feedbacks like AVDI or here my favorite buddy SMP7 from obdstar

But it would be easy just a simple logging system and some rewards like points or tokens to users who helping them improving their program. It's a well know and working system they just don't care. The real support, customer care is non-exist in this business.

I know very well it's a hard job but i'd happy to pay at least 1000€/year subscription fee to any company for a wide range support list like mvp/zedfull...etc and a prompt customer service.

Like in this dream

The user is a registered and accepted beta tester not some random guy

The only thing put me off with this tool was when it came out first time most modules were 80% working like yaris all keys lost was working after update it stopped working, insignia module not working, Renault cards programming not working and I stopped using because I was spending more time when the tool was not working, they kept updating new cars when old cars modules stopped working and now they want 600 very good idea they will get rich very quick!!!!

Last time I had this problem just updated cas with istap and cas became alive. How to fix now? I know how to fix it, problem is LONSDOR IS NOT DOING UPDATES PROPERLY.

SO FIRST Renault master stopped working, months ago,, new blue function PAID appeared just called "MASTER." and it works...

MEGANE 2002-2008 3 button card function works fine since i bought it, now it stopped after update...and appears a blue paid function "MEGANE CC -2008"

eventually all functions will stop working and will be replaced by paid functions,, so i am not updating my device anymore now and will keep it to use as ford/bmw cas3/peugeot etc basic tool

Big shame, i would of purchased for 600$ to use paid functions if they wasn't scamming so many of the basic functions from me.

**paulsta** · 27th April, 2019, 05:25 PM

I agree, I won't be paying anymore for this tool

I will urge anyone who has this Lonsdor, and is not going to be paying subscription. DO NOT UPDATE THIS DEVICE.

You will receive NO FIXES, NO NEW FEATURES,,, you will receive - working features being BROKEN.

DO NOT UPDATE THIS unless you are planning to subscribe

i will be telling everyone about this.... if Lonsdor team see this,, fix the features i had when i purchased the device,,, thats all.
