Hi again
What I was trying to establish was.
How to avoid the mileage being logged in the keybox?
If I fit the blocker when the car has done only 1,000 miles, will the miles still acrue in the keybox then?
Example.
fit can blocker at 1,000 mls
When car shows 5,000 mls on dash, what will be the mileage in the keybox then?
Thanks |

| Dashfixer Drew, Have Just read the Diagpro posting concerning the new tool and the 9S12X. It is stated that their new tool does not do this micro and to buy another tool! Are they telling the truth or were you when you said you asked Jim Ashkirk who said it did and there would be a video of it on you tube hopefully the following day, or was Jim Ashkirk in fact telling you the truth and that the Digapro re-sold as Dashfixer pro does in fact do the 9S12X micro. One way or the other either Jim Ashkirk or you were not telling the truth. Now, what have you to say about that? White Rabbit. |

Hi Rabbit
The DigaPro/ DashfixerPro is currently sold without software to do the 9S12x series of micros as Jim is only 99% happy with it.
So to answer your question, Yes, the Diga/Dashfixer Pro CAN do them but the software is not being released until Jim is 100% happy with it.
I dont think any un-truths have been told.
Regards
Drew |

Hi Captain.
Cluster shows 5000 then EZS shows 5000.
The way a Can Blocker can be used properly is like this;
Car has say 20,000 miles.
Adjust Cluster to 1000 miles.
Adjust service memory accordingly.
Fit can blocker.
Use car for the next 19000 miles and EZS will stay at 20000.
Take can blocker out and you have just had 19000 miles (free).
NOTE, The EZS will always show the highest ever mileage that was on the cluster regardless of having a can blocker fitted or not.
Regards
Drew |

White Rabbit,
Excuse the late response, with work and a young family I have very little time to myself, I'm sure you know what I mean.
I think you have had your questions answered, Drew has also stated we have no connection with Dashfixer other than that we are users, as for being a reseller, if someone wants to buy through me, I won't say no to the commission, this applies to any of the equipment I use, simple as that.
As I said previously, Dashfixer have been great to me with their constant support, especially when I first started, for that reason, I have nothing but admiration and respect for them.
If someone helps me out, I don't forget it, its just the way I was brought up.
Over the last 3 years things have moved-on a great deal in this industry as you already know and yes DF did fall behind due to the delays in releasing the DigiPro. Rather than wait I have invested heavily in other HW and SW, as I am customer driven, DF had no problems with this and still support me via phone and email. Basically, rather than mope around, I expanded my horizons. I personally feel, that one machine is not enough, all have there strengths and weaknesses.
I have the DigaPro, in my opinion it has the makings to be a great machine, as previosly stated by others, its still a "work in progress". Having said that, I did not hesitate acquiring one due to its reliable pedigree.
As for the 9S12XDP issue, you asked me whether the DigiPro did it or not, well I answered honestly, I did not know as I had not even looked for it, the reason being, I can do the 9s12XDP module diagnosis already. Failing this I can also do it with my Rosfar (I wouldn't sell my Rosfar to be honest, its an excellent back-up tool for me).
Also, please note that I use no alias, I am using my business name and do not wish to enter into any prolonged bickering with anyone, should anyone feel they need to contact me please feel free via phone or email.
So, basically, I am a DF customer just getting on with it.
Rabbit, I trust this will be the end of making any references to me.
Regards
PMC.

Regarding the can blocker.
I know of someone who had the warranty cancelled because the dealer found out a mileage discrepency in the ezs and cluster.
How can that be explained then?
Maybe the mileage still increments in the ezs despite what Drew said? |

| Dashfixer Drew, Just read your post. It must then point to Digapro not telling the truth by saying the tool they make (Re-sold as Dashfixer pro) will not program the 9S12X and to buy another tool that will. What I find interesting is that this was a first time answer to the question I have been constantly asking you, PMC and Dashfixer having asked it directly to Diagpro also. So Diagpro won't do it not even as an update but Dashfixer pro will do it now. Something doesn't ring true here. I suggest you read the diagpro posting. White Rabbit. |

Hi
As you no doubt realise by now,I am a bit of a newcomer to this.
Can someone clear up a couple of doubts I have please?
1. With the car mentioned in the last post with the can blocker, why would they have the warranty cancelled if it was fitted like Drew said?
2. Regarding the post by PMC. You say you have different equipment. Could you suggest the best equipment to buy please? Like you I have an open ended budget, just want to get it right first time!
[I am not in South Wales, so wont be a threat to you business]
Thanks eveyone for the help and honesty. |

| Captain, You appear to have a choice of tool, Either the Digapro or the Dashfixer pro . These are identical tools both made by Digapro. The Dashfixer pro as you will have seen on the posting will program the 9S12x micro'swhich are fitted in the late BMW and Mini cas modules but the Digapro will not and they recommend buying another tool for this job. I would recommend you contact Dashfixer Drew who says he feels part of Dashfixer although he doesn't work for them. I believe he can be contacted on their helpline, sorry, my mistake possibly this is a different Drew who does work for them Don't be fooled by DP3 offering their tool for £4,800 + old dashfixer or dashfixer clone. Although I have heard it is a much better tool I'm sure you would be much happier spending a whopping £2,200 extra to possibly feel a part of Dash fixer. By the way the prices I have given you are posted on this forum. I reach the figure of £7,000 for the Dashfixer pro by taking the price quoted by Jim Ashkirk of Dashfixer on this forum and adding the vat. White Rabbit. |

| PMC. Saw your link on Rosfar site. Iknow many people who have Rosfar but you are the first I know of who has it for backup. I take it you saw the Diagpro post. They make the Dashfixer pro as you know. The answer given was totaly honest stating the Digapro will not program the 9S12X micro and suggest buying another tool for this job, yet Jim Ashkirk told Dashfixer Drew that the Dashfixer pro will. Being the same tool I find this very confusing. I was also wondering, as you don't know whether your dashfixer pro will do the job and your rosfar is for backup, What tool do you use? Enigma, DP3? |

Rabbit,
Considering you have A wealth of experience, I am suprised you ask me these basic questions.
So basically, you are saying , PMC can do the XDP by diagnosis, but instead, should use my Rosfar or other tool and solder wires onto the board or everyone you know can do it by diagnosis (30 secs work) but choose to do it by soldering onto the board? thus making the Rosfar their primary tool above diagnosis, for XDP (note I say XDP, as this seems to be subject of your many questions).
As for DigiPro, I think you really need to contact Dashfixer directly so that they can address all your questions individually and comprehensively and then you can post the outcome here.
This is my last response, so ask as many questions as you like 
Good luck in your quest to buy a replacement for your Rosfar (Best for Mercs imho).
PMC.

| PMC You seem to suffer with the same problem as Dashfixer Drew. That being you answer to what you think you read not what was written. Before writing this post I re-read what I had written because I could not believe I would suggest you do it by diagnosis! If you do then wow, you are a world leader. If you don't then please re-read my last post again slowly. White Rabbit. |

By the time you boot your laptop up, I've finished my XDP! I can here people pissing themselves laughing at you rabbit, all the way here.
Rabbit you had a good run, no punn intended
Just give it up, your way of the pace.

Don't dwell in you bitterness over whats happened to you in the past or it will consume you or already has
Hope you find that Rainbow.

Little white wabbit had his ass handed to him on a plate
Captain Kirk, you should ask the fictional guys they have years and years of experience , Seriously Captian, buy what you need dependant on your customer base and take it from there, what suits one guy may be surplus to requirements to another.
