Yep, I said in before on this thread that you can just click past that warning and continue diagnosis... Just take it as a reminder not to kill your battery.

HOWEVER, you DO need a battery charger that is up to the task for programming/coding needs.

Ok so i ran into some issues. Problem 1 the power supply i got is useless. its 13.69 volts when on and when you hook it up to the car it drops to 12.4. Problem 2 is the DK head will not communicate with the vehicles. I used it 4 times and is only 3 months old. Have to send it back with a three week turnaround. Meanwhile I have a car i need to diagnose.

I present you with my power supply rig for programming/diagnostic use: 13.8V/44A of continuous industrial strength with the added benefit of having an ammeter on the positive lead.

In case you're wondering, I've bought the 2 power supply units (22A each) from ebay at £60 all in, ammeter + shunt were about £15 and the project box/leads/connectors etc. some £20.

Looks great! Definitely like it when there's an actual number readout you can see.

Thanks, it was actually this thread that got me started so I thought would be nice to post the results back here.

The only thing I would point out is when you buy, you guys make sure the spec mentions 'continuous' otherwise it might be max. which means you'll be getting about half your money's worth. Or worse, might not do the job.

FWIW
Peake have a new computer interface on the drawing board for the owner/DIYer market. I don't have any more details than this but, considering the trouble most seem to experience with the far eastern clones, that's where I'll be investing my $$$ when the time comes.
I now return this thread to its rightful owners!
