Hmmm , it's only been 2 years since the Verus Edge which is powerful, small, light, and Portable ,So I figure its got to be something shop mounted with a large 48" screen display scale akin to a modern day Counselor XL or Sun Scope, with all the extended leads , amp probes Etc that work off the existing Verus Edge and a modified Version of the docking station, on a rolling Diagnostic station, that has a built in smoke machine. Maybe Verus Edge might even offer a feature of a heads up display to project the Verus screen to the lower center of Windshield for driving at night with adjustable brightness or day driving transparent Google Glass type technology built in to special safety Goggles and built in, no bend over WIFI TPMS exciter like an extendable blind man cane for use with the tool.Last edited by Witsend; 08-18-2017, 10:55 AM.Comment

A new Verus already? My predictions:
1.Verus pro and Verdict will no longer be supported after 18.2
2. the new Verus will have the same "new and improved" scope the Modis ultra/edge and vantage ultra have - 2 or 4 channels, maybe but minus the
dedicated ignition features and the built in transducer/rpm port and other features WILL be missing.
3. possibly missing at least one of the usb ports and/or the micro sd card port
4. bios WILL be password locked ( which should be illegal. it's like selling someone a house, but locking them out of their utility room)
5. hard drive permanently attached to motherboard so it can't be changed or upgraded
I don't know why a new Verus - hardwarewise, the edge is pretty good.
I would have suggested a much larger hard drive, possibly accessible from outside without unit disassembly, a return of the directional navigation keys that the pro had, and possibly a MORE capable scope with ADDED features.
The biggest bone I have to pick with the Verus series is the features they took away with 10.4 and never returned - and that's SOFTWARE !!!
Let's see how well I predicted.You can expect the reputation of your business to be no better than the cheapest item or service you are willing to sell. - WheelComment

And While I like the new one, I dont have the time to log the issues with the current software bugs I have found.
Like the Auto ID feature Identifying the wrong engine on cross over year vehicles even though the 8th digit of the vin identifies the engine and is different between the early and later model of that year...
Or the default data groups when you go into a specific function that have to be reselected...
Or certain makes setting off dash service lights when you connect and link to a vehicle. So you are unsure if it cleared the code until you actually disconnect from the vehicle.Comment
