I somehow managed to remember to watch. Apparently if you have one of the latest scanners then all you need to do is buy a year's worth of FCA subscription for $50 to be able to fully scan and diagnose FCA gateway vehicles. We can deal with that.
It SEEMS you have to have wifi access to unlock the vehicle for testing but not thereafter. So once you get into it then you can go on test drives with live data readings and so forth just as before without worrying about wifi.
If you stop working on the vehicle and go back to it later I wonder if you might have to re-unlock it. Or if you pull it up as a saved vehicle on the scanner will it unlock automatically or just already be unlocked? I didn't get a chance to ask.Comment

Yay !!! I finally did it, Got registered and all hooked up. Only took an hour. I hate passwords, when can we just go to a retina scan or some other bio marker. Why is there no sound on the Snap On video ? https://www.snapon.com/gateway . I see that Launch is not on the autoauth list, are only those manufacturers on the scroll down list eligible ?Attached FilesComment

A lot has been said about the need for for wifi connection during test drives. I did not find this to be the case. The vehicle stayed unlocked during the test drive when out of wifi range, there was no interruption in the data stream and as far as I could tell the functions remained. I think that as long as the scanner retains communication with the vehicle things should remain unlocked. I'll experiment with this more as I get the opportunityAttached FilesComment

Yep, ran into a bit of a problem with this reconditioned ZEUS that I bought. When I went to register the scanner with AutoAuth I get a message that the scanner is already registered with another shop and won't let me register it my name. Apparently the previous owner did not unregister it when it was traded in. I'm sure I'm not the first person to have purchased a pre-owned scanner and run into this problem. Any have a solution ? AutoAuth hasn't been much help.Comment

Got it !!! When the Zeus was reconditioned it was given a new serial number. I was trying to register it with the original serial number that was on the "Getting Started Pack". Maybe that wasn't even the serial number, but it kept coming up as being registered to another shop. Strange. Should work now. Thanks.Comment
