Hey, guys! Our automotive training program recently purchased a ZEUS Snap-on diagnostic tool (model: EEMS342) for use with a hybrid training vehicle (Prius) to demonstrate electric vehicle mechanics to our students. We have mounted a new HD monitor at the rear of the exposed cab of the training vehicle with the hopes of connecting it to our ZEUS tool to give a group of students better view of the diagnostic screen as we take it step by step.
The monitor has multiple HDMI ports for input, but the ZEUS tool only has USB-A ports for peripherals. A good USB-A to HDMI cable is almost nonexistent, and since we can't install a video driver on the tool by itself, a video port adapter is not an option. Has anyone been able to connect their ZEUS to an external monitor using only the ports available on the baseline model?
We're aware that there is an optional docking station available for purchase (model: EAA0418L04A) that has an HDMI port present, but we were really hoping to be able to connect the tool to a monitor as-is without any additional purchases, as we allotted our quarterly budget on purchasing the diagnostic tool by itself.
Has anyone been able to connect their ZEUS to an external monitor without the docking station? Thanks in advance; we're really happy with our Snap-on tool and plan to invest in more products in the future!
