Default The end of iCarScan?

Has anyone used your iCarScan recently? Did you see the warning message when first open EZDiag app?

I'm on version 6.3.8 and just opened mine and got no message. Sounds like the specific car selections are a super set of the EOBD stuff so it shouldn't directly impact usage.

If you kill the EZDiag app and reopen it you will see the warning message. If it's already running in the background you won't see it.

As of this morning - it's working just fine. I spent about an hour last night on on-line chat, then WeChat with a young lady at OBD2TOOLS.COM. The problem was submitted - but she couldn't get an immediate answer since it was lunch time there (and 12:30PM here), and she said we could get in touch again - tonight - I'll WeChat her at 10PM our time, which should be 10AM their time.

In the meantime - mine wouldn't display that message - but it wouldn't go beyond displaying the initial screen with EZDiag 2.0 - then a blank white screen. That was last night. This morning it was just fine, and I ran a complete scan on my CTT. Looks like I'll need a blower motor soon, I see it trips an over-current breaker once in a while..

Anyway - Kenny - try yours somewhere that you have a good Internet connection to your phone. I think the problem was in the system they use to authenticate the users.

As far as the message - if you poke around in iCarScan - look for "Shop" - and eventually that message, typed out not a graphic, pops up - in relation to advertising for their newest product that comes with EZDiag 3.0. And I believe Tom M is exactly right. We don't need EOBD since we have the manufacturer specific tool - which is much more capable than EOBD ever would be.

Kenny - panic much? "Don't panic!" (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy..)
