Well that's disappointing, first my Apollo D9 develops a screen freeze problem. Now my TPMS4 screen goes blank every time I try to read a sensor. Screen won't come back until I restart it. Tried updating it but no change. lad I kept my TPMS3.

Snap on is really behind the price and creature features on TPMS. I thought the TPMS 5 was going to be good, but at the price it didnt work out of the box. I kept my old Autel which still works great. MY autel MS906 tablet is a piece of garbage compared to the Verus Edge, but it seems you really have to have a little bit of everyones stuff theres no one good company.

Are we up and running for good this time ? Should I get some ShopKey CD's for back up ? Please don't go black again. If you do, you should at least have home page for ShopKey up to explain the technical difficulties instead of keeping us guessing.

Things are stable now. I don't know exactly what happened but it took down our communication abilities. I'm sure there will be lots of meetings after this to come up with new strategies.

So I did it, I traded in my Verus Edge and my D9 Apollo for a Zeus. It's not new but reconditioned with windows 10 upgrade. I did get a pretty good deal with 6 months of free updates with the intelligent diagnostics which I found useful on my Apollo, but the scanning particularly the graphing capabilities of it kind of sucked. Hope this scanner lasts me a good 10 years before obsolescence.

If there is one concern that I have about the Zeus it's the dongle thing getting lost or left in a vehicle. One change that I think would be helpful would be a place on the Zeus to attach the dongle when not in use. A place to clip it or slide it into that would be in full view when grabbing or putting the scanner away so there would be no doubt about it's location and serve as a reminder when exiting the vehicle.

I hate to tell you but my Verus Edge and the shop's Zeus are the EXACT same machine. The only differences being a different case, the extra "Intelligent Diagnostics App", and the smaller and better dongle. I wouldn't have made THAT trade.
I have been considering buying a Zeus dongle for my Edge though. I never like the big "soap on a rope" thing. I've already verified that my Edge works fine with the Zeus's dongle.

We're still here. Good to have you back. Turns out they are still breaking cars in my neck of the woods.

How many times will I fall for this. Most German cars if the hood or rear hatch isn't closed, or the ECU doesn't recognize them as being closed, the wipers will be inoperative. DUH !!!!
