Hi all, is anyone out there using the smart 4in1 from sykes, i had a demo on one the other day and i am considering buying one but would like some feedback on one good or bad from anyone that is currently using one.I currently have a sykes acr 2 line reader and various pods etc and a crypton cmt500 engine analyser /scope.As you can imagine from this equipment we do not work on ultra modern vehicles being a small rural garage but the newer vehicles are starting to appear.I am not stupid enough to think that any piece of equipment will repair modern vehicles without the user being up to the job ie training etc.On reading a lot of the posts on this website it seems a lot of people use bosch equipment, am i right in thinking you are forced to keep up yearly subsriptions wether or not you want to something the sykes rep was keen to point out that you dont have to do with them he also said there are a host of new features coming on there machine this year ie key programming, air suspension etc and any advance features can be downloaded at no cost? but in my experience people can get carried away when they see a potential sale in the offing.Sorry to bore you all i would just like pointing in the right direction.Thanks in advance John.
