    17.2 Update Change Log

    I know that I and others have asked for this repeatedly but I am still waiting...

    Why can Snap-On not give us a list of the changes/enhancements that they add or modify when they create a new software update. It would really be nice to see what features have been added or fixed with each update. It should be no problem as I am sure the programmers have a list of the items they are or have been working on. In my opinion its no different than any other software update from any other computer programmer. I would be more interested in the software type changes such as being able to manage the vehicle history files better that I see they have added. I have watched the video highlighting vehicle coverage enhancements at https://snapon.app.box.com/s/95xqnxu...4ijoxyhz2viarn

    I would love to see some improvements to data managing, the work order format, saving additional files attached to the work order so I don't have to manually add them etc...

    Maybe it's time to revisit the verus wish list I started over 6 years ago.

      Thanks for posting the link to the video. Very cool presentation with Harley Davidson coverage added to 17.2. I hope they send a free patch for the Issue with the Ford communication Billcat was having.

          Nice link! Would add.. The Passthrough 3 and a GM subscription works great, for almost everything GM related. The new Ford evap functions sound like they need some personal attention. I've seen a few lately. Skipped the foreign end, Lol.
          I still agree, a standard update punch chart is in order.

              be careful on older gms with passthrough pro three .I have had 2 that wouldnt program.I called tech line they said it is to fast.He couldnt say for sure but said rough 2000-2001 would be the oldest you could do with j2534 .Anything older needs tech 2.

                  GM MDI works fine back to 1996,as do some others.I haven't used PTP 3,but having some small knowledge of computers,"to fast" sounds like a lot of horse hockey.I would bet on a driver issue.
                  Having worked at GM dealers for many years I've had a lot of experience with the tech line and results and level of competence can vary as with any call center.
