3 traps should notice when repairing your car

What is really a headache for the comprehensive car owners? It is that you are fooled when repairing your car is a 4S shop, what's worse, you don't really get it but to compliment good maintenance technology. And now, it is a prevailing trend that most car owners try to do it themselves by using some reliable tools, such as auto diagnostic tools.
What's more, owing some kinds of basic tools will, to a great extent, save you much trouble when emergency happen. And we cannot expect a tool for solving all problems, but at least, we can avoid that whatever happened in your car all need repairing in the garage.
Why the idea occurred to me? It happened to me and let me felt so angry. What happened to me can be simply classified into 3 traps.
1. "High" hourly wage
Previously, I drove my car to a local 4S shop owing to some of small problems caused by neglect of maintenance. It charged me very high fee as I expected before, much importance of all, I did not feel any great change in my car. Finally, I ask for a maintenance record, but they cannot issue. Although it was charged on the basis of hourly wage, you have right to refuse payment for the reason listed above.
2. "Misdiagnosis"--- get more accessories replaced
"Misdiagnosis" is a common thing that the staff tries every measure to get your part replaced regardless of bad ones or new ones. You must pay more attention to their operation when repairing.
3. Substitute bad for good
One day, I drove my car to a 4S shop for adding engine oil. I forgot to bring something at the supermarket that I bought before. But when I came back, I found that the staff replaced my oil with bad one and charged me high fee.
There only several traps I found, but only exist more, so to be careful when repairing. If possible, you can try to use car diagnostic tool. And I know that a obd2 shop provides a full series of car related tools, which I bought for many times and turned out to be great.

How to solve link dead of GDS VCI diagnostic tool for Hyundai?

I have recently purchased clone GDS VCI auto diagnostic tool for Hyundai and Kia with the newest software version V15. I have posted it to linked to my laptop (I was allowed to only install on Win XP operating system and Local Disc C:/ require at least 30 GB free space) to the obd2 connector with the DVD. In this case, the DVD can help me store the GDS software on any laptop according to the manual. But my only result was to find there was no GDS link during the process.

I have an old school mate who used to master tech at Hyundai, but I felt embarrassed to tap him up because we have not met each other for over 10 years. I had to seek technical support of aobd2shop (where mine from). The engineer gave me responses immediately.
I first need to start up disc to get the basic software installed. Then I need the misc disc as called out when it goes to the Internet update to bring the work up to update. I have that disc saved on my Dell 360 and get it worked on the Win XP system. After that, I need the GDS VCI @ approx $2000 and a dealer code (NDA001) to update online when the GDS program opened and pinged the internet server for version check. Next, I was required to download updates as they come down the pike. Finally, they'll decide whether another DVD disc is needed or not and then do update again automatically.
LOL, it just worked. So far, GDS VCI obd2 diagnostic tool was able to do perfect diagnosis for my Hyundai. It is a good purchase.

"Device not in use" MB Star Connect Compact C4 2014.05 diagnostic tool

I just got myself a 2014.05 MB Star Connect Compact C4 Benz diagnostic tool with Spanish version. However, I came across some problem when hooked it up to diagnose.
First, I posted it to diagnose my car. When I connected the C4 multiplexer to the Dell 360 by using the external software HDD with VMware player, the multiplexer displayed "Device not in use." But the multiplexer green light did turn on. I tried to connect the C4 to my Dell 360with network cable, but there was no connection at all. The SD card slot was empty. Then I connected through wireless communication, no WLAN on the external software HDD. Then I carried it out to do truck diagnose, failed again.


An error fault (1.1)-1.501.9887 note popped out with three possible causes:
1 The link between the diagnosis multiplexer and the diagnostic socket is interrupted.
2 The link between the diagnosis multiplexer and the diagnostic unit is interrupted
3 The voltage supply at the diagnostic socket (circuit 30 and (or) circuit 32) is faulty

I quickly seek help to the technical support of the a obd2 shop (where I buy the MB SD C4). The engineer analyzed the problem due to the third cause. I was suggested to reset the IP address in Windows XP network connection. Because SD is using static IP address hence I need to change the IP in order to carry out wireless connection.
I did follow their instructions. The SD icon showed number 5 with an open padlock. Xentry and DAS software worked well immediately. Go so far as to multiplexer took me more time to display nice. Although met tiny problem, overall I still recommended MB Star C4 Benz diagnostic tool.

How to solve VPC-100 PinCode Calculator activate error?

I got myself a VPC-100 PIN Code Calculator with 300(free online)+200(in the device) tokens last week. I posted it to activate according to the user manual. I first started the main unit of VPC100 PIN code calculator, and finished some important information like device ID, webkey and password by registering on the VPC100 official website. Next I registered my email account and name. I was required to input password and confirm it to continue operation. Following was to fill in the verification code (as picture below shows).

Everything went smoothly, it should be activate successfully as a rule. Somehow I met the problem below. A message reading “Email Error” popped out. And I lost in the program.

Several minutes later, I looked for help from a obd2 shop technical support. The engineer prompted me there were two possible reasons for the error:
1. I may fill in the wrong email address;
2. The email address can not be identified by the VPC100 wed site (www.VPC100.com)
Solution:
I. was advised to pay special attention to the webkey number because it is the password in its official website www.VPC100.com. I reviewed my email address and found I made a spelling mistake. The activation was succeeded after the address was corrected and other information checked.
