Heh, this will make for another increase in service costs at the dealer.

possibly. But the technology makes sense to me. Can't really expect a tech, no matter how well trained, to know it all.

Yup, it's definitely awesome. Seems like a great way to train techs to help preserve and maintain classic Porsche's too!

I like that they still have not figured out a way to replace the technician though. Cool technology . I Imagine my son will be using something like this when he takes over the biz.
Snap on will only want a kidney and lifetime indentured servitude for the technology when it finally comes available to the aftermarket . Like said above, in today's world, the best of the best cannot possibly know it all, and will always be running into some new problem never seen before
