CRecorder

hi to all
have been using the crecorder and trying to bulid some sort of vehicle database with it ie as one vehicle is flight recorded it sits at the top of the historical data, with the right vin no and customer name.But if i was to flight record another vehicle this then assumes the identity of the first, does anyone have any idea how i can get this recorder to list all the recordings with correct customer and vehicle details, so that when front page of recorder is opened instead of having just numbers ending with x341 i have customer name and vehicle, is that possible??

Hi Peter,
There might be an easier way, but ! you can upload your files to the Crecorder website, then download them again to your desktop. Once on your dekstop, right click the file and rename it, using the details you want to see but leave the .x431 on the end.
Then open the Crecorder software, then select File then Open, browse to your desktop and select the files you have renamed.

Regards
Dave

Is this gadget any good? Has anyone used it for a while and has it helped in solving the tricky ones?

had mine for four weeks, at the moment it;s connected to a zafria which has a unusual problem in that it will missfire and then cut out all attempts to try and capture said fault have been hopeless, this miss and cutting out can take up to two weeks to happen, then will start straight away and go on running till the next time which could be one day away or 21, will let you know the out come. Looking at what it can do it might be the best £70-00p piece of time saving kit you might buy.

Hi Peter
Looked at the website but cannot determine whether there is a subscription required? I have seen these advertised on Ebay for around 60.00 quid. I remember there were issues when the Launch X431 came out of the factory refusing to recognise any kit bought from anyone who was not a registered dealer.Where did you get yours?

Hi Harry,

Would not reccomend the ebay ones, I bought one from there for £60 and to date have not been able to get it to work, it goes so far in the load process then gets to the driver port part and a message comes up saying "your computer will blow into a million pieces if you proceed!" or words to that effect and it sets an automatic system restore, not had time or chance to investigate further but would not reccomend this route.
