PIWIS 2 Anyone purchased from China??
 
I'm looking to purchase a PIWIS 2 (don't need the updates) I'll get them from my dealer guy's. I see the Chinese versions listed all over China

websites. Has anyone actually purchased one and utilized ALL the functions??

Everything will work fine, but don't ask for how long.

I hear you Hopefully someone will chime in that is using one daily. I'm seeing them listed for 15k.

i always love the wording of cheap foreign knockoffs, "PIWIS is the latest inspect equipment of Company". um, what? anyway, my bud owns a (pretty successful) general auto repair garage. he has one of these and said it works just fine and that i should buy one too. no way. i live by the rule "there is no such thing as a free lunch". but he is a cheap bastard and buys stuff like this and of course HIS luck is such that most things like this work out just fine for him. and me? I'M the guy who evens out the stats - if i bought it, it would fail within seconds and i would be out 2 grand!
I use mine daily... updates.. OEM DVD's
Only thing that you cannot do is Panamera and newer car Ignition key adaptations.
They are working on a offline solution for this.

I'm really interested by your feedback about the asian Piwi 2. I have an official Autologic and it doesn't work fine on 991 ( many windows errors, limited range,complicated screen... ). This Autologic was really expansive for what it is... Old PST2 and Piwis1 are BETTER!

Hi All.

take care for china clone PIWIS2.
because firmware can not be update for clone interface.
original is auto update the firmware when program update.
original is expensiveCash,but this is better.
