As Joe said, it went on sale today, 30 Sept 13. It may not have gotten to your dealer yet, but it will soon.

Couple quick questions for the Moderators/EBI Techs at Snap On.
1: Can the Modis Ultra do the split screen testing (Scope and Scanner same time) Like Verus? I'm guessing no, but still just demo-ing this tool
2: Am I able to save a screen shot while viewing saved data? I know I can save one on live data, couldn't do it on saved data though
3:Is the easy scroll option gone? (where you are on a highlighted line, then can use the right arrow as a "yes" option)
4:How will the automatic update program work? This tool have wireless?
5:Any reason as to why the scanner locks up after it sits for 30 seconds or so and the backlight turns off? When I hit any button, the backlight turns on, but the scanner is locked up. Have had to reset 3 times after this has happened.
Thanks for the help guys

Just to add to this,
In the UK my snapon dealer thinks I'd be wise to sell my verdict now as he thinks its going to be over taken by the Modis Ultra which to me seems very odd considering its meant to be the next step down from the verus.
What do you think?Comment

You are correct, it does not.
2: Am I able to save a screen shot while viewing saved data? I know I can save one on live data, couldn't do it on saved data though
Yes, use the S button.
Were you trying to use the button that looks like a Floppy disk on the top toolbar? That button saves a data file when you are capturing data, not a screen shot so use the S button to save a screenshot. That is one of the things it can be set for.
3:Is the easy scroll option gone? (where you are on a highlighted line, then can use the right arrow as a "yes" option)
No Easy Scroll option.
That was a method we developed to make the orig Modis faster to navigate menus and setup the scope. It cut the number of key presses and you could more quickly navigate the Modis menus and set up the scope using just the arrows. The touch screen on the Modis Ultra helps to make it fast to use and setup without something like Easy Scroll. You can do just about everything with the arrows and Y/N on the Ultra, but it's generally faster to use the touch input
4:How will the automatic update program work? This tool have wireless?
Are you asking about the subscription program and how software will be delivered to it?
5:Any reason as to why the scanner locks up after it sits for 30 seconds or so and the backlight turns off? When I hit any button, the backlight turns on, but the scanner is locked up. Have had to reset 3 times after this has happened.
What screen were you on when this happens? Scanner, scope, other?
Does it happen every time? or is it intermittent?
Thanks for the help guys

Rich,
Question 4 dealt with the subscription option, and yes, how it will be delivered.
As for the freezing screen, 1 time was on scope, the next time was on scanner. It wasn't everytime, but did do it the last two times I was working on it today.

I asked and was told the updates will come thru the dealer as they do now.

When it happened in scanner, were you connected to the vehicle? If it is being powered from the scanner cable, It shouldn't dim the screen. That is why I ask about that. If you notice some particular steps that cause it to happen, let us know. The more details I can pass along, the better.

Rich,
I was unable to take Neil's advice, because at that time, I had already turned it back into my dealer. I was not connected to a car, was sitting at home scrolling thru the tool, sometimes in demo mode. That's about all I can share on that.

my snap on man wanted me to buy one, too many questions he couldn't answer, seems to me the sia2000 and other attachments wouldn't work with it???psi transducers etc etc. do not want to be limited to only 2 channels either.
love my modis, if I don't want to use keys I'll just use the solus ultra.Comment

The pressure transducers from Modis can be used with Modis Ultra, however a different adapter for the pressure probes in needed. It is the same adapter that is used with the Verdict M2. The part number is EEMS324PSA. You can view all the accessories here: http://www1.snapon.com/diagnostics/us/modisultra
Select Scope accessories.
Verus Pro does support the SIA2000 and RPM lead the same as Modis.Comment
