  1. About time. They are already overdue by a year as each generation usually lasts 10 years or less.
  2. There is a bigger problem AFAIK if you let a Tesla go completely dead then you are in deep shit and it's not a matter of just recharging your dead phone and it's up in no time.
  3. Like I said laws and cost. For example in the US everystate has different window tint laws. Here in the GCC every country has different window tint laws. Even here doesn't matter what car you have if it's under a company name you can't have it tinted. And making electrochromic mirrors is much cheaper than making electrochromic glass. Remember Barry use to work at a shop installing electrochromic tint and how damn expensive that was. And outside of the middle East people really aren't too concerned it obsessed with tinted windows. Over here it's necessary, a must have. Other places not so much. So maybe if there is a huge demand for it l, it might be offered as an option
  4. Well photo chronic and electrochromic are two totally different things. Electrochromic rearview mirrors have been around for a while now
  5. Ah! That's makes sense Yeah and preferably not a car wreck A simple example more relevant here. When ever there is a sand storm or heavy rain. How much more visible are the cars with their lights on compared to the ones that don't have them on
  6. That's the thing you just can't charge anywhere. How many charging ports across the UAE?
  7. It's mostly for countries that are dark as in cloudy and overcast most of the year even during daytime. It's mandatory in Canada. Surprised someone from the US doesn't know this?
  8. Hello! That's the purpose of a roll bar/hoop/cages to protect the people not "roll over the car" Where do you even come up with these things! Jeez!
  9. Well maybe this will give you an idea, have a watch and see if its helpful.

  11. Exhaust temps? EGT is relevant to diesel engines
  12. Along with being a manufacturer specific tool it also doubles as a regular obdii reader and support s all protocol s including j2534 But I wouldn't recommend it for you since you run a shop with many different cars coming in. And by the time you buy half a dozen iCarsoft tools to cover most cars you could probably just buy a multivehicle tool like the launch for the same money. Or you could buy two for the most popular cars which come to your shop and the good thing is one iCarsoft covers two manufacturers like the one for Mitsubishi also covers Mazda and the one I have for LR also covers Jaguar. But you can't pick and choose which two brands you get in one tool. So of you get two you get 4 car manufacturers plus regular obdii They are built quite rugged and water and oil resistant so you can use oily and greasy hands to use it and them give it a wipe down later and can stand a good few drops too.
  13. iCarsoft is not dealer level and it won't reprogram or flash your ecu's but it pretty extensive and about a 1000 times more detailed than regular obd stuff like Torque being vehicle specific and all. You could call it a prosumer tool.
  14. Well I didn't check what car years the iCarsoft supports. Would be wise to get on their website and check it out I got one for LR/Jag and it goes back till 1999 on the LR. Really nice piece of gear to have in your car. It interrogates and diagnoses about dozen and half ecu's and systems even on my old LR with live data on 100s of parameters. Plus free software updates as they arrive via pc
  15. Dude think a bit highly of yourself don't you and think everyone else is a moron Right! I understand you're trying to sell a cable. But that's the thing it's just a cable with no diagnostic or programing gear attached at the other end and there is Only so much you can oversell it. I've got like three OBD to USB cables lying at home not that expensive or unique. It's like selling a coat button and saying wow look at this amazing coat button you can get a Savlie Row Suit made and have this button sewn to it. Besides I was answering Gauravs query to recommend him a portable easy for layman to use Mitsu specific cheap diagnostic tool.

    I tried Instagram found it absolutely boring and useless so ditched it. Same with Twitter. Have account s on both but they haven't been used in years. Instagram I think is more of a mellenial thing.
  17. https://www.icarsoft.com/Product/s-338-iCarsoft_Multi_system_Scanner_i909.html Get the iCarsoft for the bushy much more detailed than a simple OBD reader. Or get a Bluetooth obd dongle from souq, download the software like Torque on your phone Not much you can do on obd other than read codes, clear codes and some monitor some parameters
  18. Always been a Camaro man myself. Not much interest in the mustangs
  19. This is also factually very incorrect. Talk about necroing a thread. Bam out of the blue !
  20. Oops! Yes you are absolutely right! And cleaning the battery terminal didn't occur to you during all your under hood inspection and trouble shooting, since you describe it as all gunked up.
