    Lack of WIFI Printing

    I can print outside the building through a Brick wall with my DS708 ONLY After I go back inside the building and get my PC out of sleep mode and click on DS 708 printer desktop icon, then go back outside and the printer will print out everything fine, but doing that BullSh@t every time after 10 minutes elapses and PC goes in sleep mode kind of defeats the purpose of having the wireless printing capability anyway , especially if a Gang Banger or Jokester steals or moves the the car and scanner while you are inside waking up the PC. The DS 708 does not have any battery , so you have to save stuff you wish to print inside hooked to an auxillary AC power adapter.

      Is that a glitch , or did Johnnie Cash assemble a Hybrid vehicle for Chrysler?
      Because if the VIN. Even though the Sprinter is labeled Dodge, the same VIN could also be a Freightliner or Mercedes. When IDing it as a Dodge, the Durango and Sprtiner have the same body digit for the VIN. The scanner differentiates which one it is when you enter the engine VIN. So it knows what vehicle you're working on, but the body choice still shows.

        So is it a Durango or a Sprinter.
        Yes VIN's are important but shouldn't the scan tool follow your input prompts and identify whether it's a Durango or a Sprinter.
        If it's Auto-IDing shouldn't it prompt you to VERIFY which one it is-?
        They don't even look closely the same.

          To ID this truck:

          Car Line=Dodge
          Model Year=5
          Body Style= (Don't remember off hand, but it is the same for a Durango and a Sprinter)
          Engine = (Choices for Durango and Sprinter)

          It's an anomaly because no manufacturer has 2 different vehicles with the same body VIN. When Dodge re-brands the Sprinter as a Dodge, they don't give it their own VIN. To solve the problem it appears the database makes the distinction between the 2 trucks when you choose the engine size, but displays the Body Style as Durango/Sprinter.

            I'm pleasantly surprised at the price= my dealer quoted me the same price as the Solus Ultra... I figured they'd jack it up a grand or so for the improvements... Now they need to do a package deal with the Vantage Ultra for $5499 and they'd sell them like hot cakes!

              My favorite was the Neon/Viper.
