AutoTap Diagnostic vs. Express DiY

[kne...@bb-elec.com]

The Express DiY represents a slight shift in our focus.

What we did was assume that the typical DiYer doesn't have time to go
out and do a lot of reading on every system in his car. So, rather
than keep adding more and more data, configurable in more and more
ways, we went to mechanics and shops to find out the items that
typically go wrong with cars today and can be fixed in a driveway.

Then we put together a tool that:
1) Includes instructions on every screen so that you don't have to
learn it all over again every time you take it out of the box.

2) Adds a Diagnostic Wizard that guides you through diagnosing the
most common problems. The parameters used in the guides are
automatically shown with no configuration. There's examples of what
the parameters should look like on a graph.

Here’s a quick comparison table of AutoTap Diagnostic vs. Express
DiY. Hopefully by now you’ve also received some more explanations in
our introductory E-mail series. If you still have questions don’t
hesitate to ask.
