    you don't have choice, my friend shipping for replace second time, last time he did it two years ago. now he get answer from abritus:

    Yesterday, we received your USB Interface with ID: 1xxxxx. Unfortunately, the USB Interface can NOT be repaired. It's really old version (two years ago replaced). That's why the device will be replaced with a new one with ID: 1xxxxx, the price for the replacement is 140.00€ and all software features will be transferred free of charge.

    Now is all making sense, if they lower prices for sure more interfaces and licences wil be sell, another problem is chinesse cloning sofware and hardware, some action need to be taken for avoid stealing the soft. If they explain us reasons we will understand.

    one thing to make money
    we all have too
    but not supporting existing users always a bad mistake
    many companys in the past did the same and it was bye bye income

    Not back up tool friendly. Their late payment AMS policy is a complete rip off after spend thousands on a programmer and software with no support and only works half the time. I really just keep it around for the few odd jobs it can complete that other tools don't. Its seems like as customers drop they throw the cost on the loyals. They should cut the bullshit and get with the program and unlock the full tool for a weekly/monthly/yearly fee.

    Maybe they are wasting to much money on protecting their tool that will get cloned anyway. They need to focus on the customers and product they sell or shut it down. Vvdi, zedfull, ktag, cardaq3 and im608 pretty much covers it all in my market area.

    mate simply untrue and this forum is biased also.

    what happens to im608 after a year.... ???


    Look at im608 if you actually used tools you would find huge gaps.

    And China have new tools every 12 months and your investment old hat - sorry my friend charge more on jobs
    Replace or fade away -

    does a competent fully equipped locksmith with years of training and experience and a huge investment in equipment , stock and training rip off their customers charging a proper rate for a job , just because a guy on facebook with no experience and some cheap china kit is willing to have a go cheaper ?

    abrites is only expensive if you cant afford it and cant earn payback with it , if abrites is too dear then a business isnt charging enough for their services and will stick to the cheaper china offerings .

    i disagree with alot of the underhand things abrites have done over the years , but my avdi has paid for itself many times over its quality speaks for itself , yes its harder for new buyers to get payback today because of all the internet and facebook boys mopping up the easy jobs cheap and killing rates , but payback is still achievable for most, the race to the bottom isnt down to the likes of abrites , this sits squarely with fly by night price cutters posing as auto locksmiths.

    protecting their developments is necessary , if they stopped protecting their work then it would indeed be cloned and the customers are not loyal they would of course buy the clones as most do because cheaper .

    protecting development yes but messing with existing customers a big no no mate
    vvdi has run away with a lot of their customers and if they venture into other models
    who knows......
