How to enable command 2 tv/video on the move with DAS

[miro]

Well there he goes steering the thread in the wrong direction again.
You've got a real attitude problem mate. If you don’t want to contribute with your experience and knowledge then simply don't reply. Oh, and btw, your 15 sec "Not Possible" answer was actually not correct. It was possible.

Photos please ..... otherwise .... BS.

perdikoyla888 i concur with MBTECHNICIAN 06/2003 will do the trick.

I was performing this coding in 2005 with an up-to-date BASIC owned by a dealership. I really dont understand all the BS in this thread.

I would agree with that, something not right about him.

Wow ... Dr Phil is now a member of the forum.

As I said many weeks ago it is still possible on 02-2007. So why should I agree with all the wounded souls that tell me I am wrong. Clearly the problem is with the operator not knowing how to use DAS.

I won't doubt you at all if you say it can be done on the latest release then fine it can be all i am saying is i have been able to do it myself on older versions however i have not been able to on the latest version being installed on a Compact3 not that it would make any difference.

If all he wants to do is enable it he might as well use an older version and get it done without having to argue with it, you obviously know a trick we don't and if you don't wanna share it thats fine but why not just mellow out instead of getting in a mess over it.

Does that sound fair enough to you?

funny seeing that this can go on here, I have a total of 12,000 posting in MB forums around the world, And one guy just hounds me with crazy answers and stupid questions, and never comes up with an answer.

So sad that anyone on the web can be anyone. I will watch this space.

Guys.
I've just picked up on this thread...
To me it would appear that it IS possible to use the TV feature activation via a current version of DAS.

Miro, it would appear knows how to do this and others don't, so Miro why not share the information?...after all it's what this forum is meant to be about...helping each other..

Now the rest of you give Miro some space...if everyone has a go at him it's not surprising he isn't prepared to help out..

I have never heard of it being possible on a Command 2.

Assuming we are all talking about DAS and actually KNOW how to use it then I understand that it does matter which Star Diagnose platform you are on. Generally it helps if you disable, rest the car, enable.

The reason being that the menu shows enable but the function is disabled. Setting the disable bit resets the enable to sync with the menu in Star. However, the Compact 3 is designed to DISABLE the function at every oil check, short test and so on.

Compact 3 is much newer than Basic and has special differences. The older the DAS the better the function. The version of the DAS software makes no difference at all.

Since Perdi does not own an original Star Diagnose laptop it is impossible to know what the problem is. It might be his RS485-RS232 adapter, his specially hacked multiplexer that had its serial number changed, the lack of software updates (time limiter in the DAS code) or damage to the operating system caused by Microsoft defects.

Try clicking on search instead of reply.

If all he wants to do is enable it he might as well use an older version.

I have only ever seen one copy of 2003 DAS in five years. Even if it did load, it would probably prevent updating back to 2007 or it would do so with numerous defects embedded.

Seriously guys - I dont get the point. You offer an opinion, as do I and then someone decides that I am in a tizzle and holding out. Did it ever cross your mind that OP is experiencing an error code (ID=10T).

Thanks for the reply that would explain the lack of function on the Compact3, if it where to prevent the user updating back to 07 then there is always the magic format option and start over.

It did not cross my mind even for a second that it was the operator at fault maybe the hardware but using the software ain't rocket science so no not the operator.

Its just if you wanna keep something secret fine but instead of a whole long winded reply just a simple "thats for me to know and you to find out" would suffice trying to make the operator look like a tube gives the impression you think you are better than everybody else and only you can perform this miracle and not only is that BS it in turn makes you look a tube when clearly from your last posts you are not, you sound like a clever enough bloke so maybe just a little something to think about?

Holy crap .... this is like some kind of thesis on social policy. Your posting is full of contradictions.

Either the system works or it does not. Either the user knows how to operate it or they do not.

In isolation and without specific knowledge the system does not perform miracles - that is the down side of being a solo operator and having no specific workshop experience. I know dozens of people that want, desire and wish to have the DAS after 20 or so years of experience and basically struggle to trigger the oil-change marker.

Coming from the point of view that DAS is incredibly complex I dont agree with the suggestion that it is not rocket science. DAS is the worlds most sophisticated workshop tool and leaves all other brands for waste.

 

[DansSlk]

I don't see any contradictions myself to be honest the wording is unfortunately a side effect of my job sorry about that not meant to be a lecture.

Let me try and clear it up for you,

The system works 99.9% of the time if it decides to block any upgrades to the new release and the user wants to get that version then he may simply format the unit and start over from a blank slate i don't care how clever it is it can't stop that.

Again i will state it is not rocket science we are talking about an application used to service car's fair enough it may be more powerful than the offerings from other brands but its still just a bit of kit designed to help techs work on CAR'S (you know 4 wheels and a chassis kidna crude really) i doubt the fellas at Cape Canaveral would have very many problems operating it but i am 100% sure that you or me trying to do the job they do would not stand a cat in hell's chance, i think you are slightly over-estimating your abilities here and if you don't wanna admit it thats fine it's no skin off of my nose.

Give any modern day kid a DAS and a car come back in an hour or two and watch them make us older users look total prats maybe if people struggle to use the software it is because they are simply incompatible with the technology not everybody can use a computer very well and granted they may struggle to do much with the software not because its complicated but because they are generally computer illiterate so your point about that does not hold much water with me i am afraid.

Does that help clear it up any?

If only we cared this much about the poor and homeless. The OP has no idea so why don't you introduce him to a teenager.

I've read this thread with a smile as its quite funny; I have experienced the annoying answers miro gives - they are quite @nal and Miro you shouldnt call people idiots, it doesnt help your case. However on the latter side you obviously do know more than most about these topics and are willing to help , otherwise why post? Im positive I know more than you about my field or special interest and Id try and answer your questions - but without smuggness.

Maybe in your case its a PEBCAK error?

Wow ... Dr Phil is now a member of the forum.

Yes, you must be pleased about that, a few pills and we'll have you in working order again

I have to admit this is the thread in weeks, months possibly longer. A complete with a running DAS is poking around and hitting one wall after another and all the out to save him with advice. At the first sign of the three (speak no , see no and hear no ) get and start throwing ..... :bannana: skins sending the thread into .



Here in Australia we save a lot of time and effort just telling it how it is instead of how it might be if it was.

So anyone with advice other than "install the version from 1854" should consider offering it or lump it.

 

[MBManInKen]

Seriously guys - I dont get the point.

Relax! The point is that your postings sound dreadfully tense and argumentative just for the sake of it.

There, aren't you happy with that advice?
