How can i tell which Scanmaster i have?

[xchief1320]

I got one with some other parts in a trade i made and i don't know which one it is.Is their anyway to tell? I want to sell it but want to know what i have first,so i don't screw anybody over..The guy had it in his TR and just pulled it out.I saw it working and it worked fine,just not sure which version it is "if it even matters"

Thanks

When you first power it on it will display the version, e.g. 2.1

If you do not have a car to use it on, then ahhhh, why did you you buy it?

I got one with some other parts in a trade i made

[turbo2nr]

so you want to know what type it is, to sell it? Mine says 2.1 on it, when i power it up, I think.

Beware of xchief1320. I bought this Scamaster from him and it did not work. Read his post above where he stated it worked fine. He said something must have happened while in storage and that I am out of luck. Nice guy to do business with.

Or am I being out of line with this guy? He stated it worked fine. I would not expect him to warranty it, but I at least expect it to work when I first plug it in. Give me some feedback on this. The seller thinks he did nothing wrong. I think he misrepresented the item based on this post.

Here is the Ebay add he bought it from.Please let me know your opinions on this one..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMESO%3AIT

I listed it no warranty and no reserve due to the fact i didn't know what version OR if it even worked still..The add clearly states it was pulled off the car years ago and i didn't knwo the condition..

Thanks

And I bought it based on his post here. "it worked fine." Based on your post here, "it worked fine", you just did not know what version it was.

Here is another post for you to defend selling crap.

Now the E-bay add

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
it was on a 87 T-type a buddy of mine bought a few years back.Worked fine when we puleld it off.i just found it in my storage unit.not sure of the version as i do not have a TR to test it on.Ramchargers.com said they can upgrade it for cheap if it the buyer wanted to upgraded.

I have this item listed locally and reserve the right to stop the auction early if it sells locally

No warranty with any item

E-mail me with ANY questions

They both say the same thing..That it DID in fact work fine when it was PULLED.
Now the reason i put it on ebay as a No reserve,No warranty auction was the fact that i Couldn't test it so i didn't know if it STILL worked or not..So i let it go for what someone "knowing it might not be in working shape" would pay for it..

What else could i of said to let people know it was AS IS no WARRANTY due to the fact i did not know if it worked or not?? I mean if it was new or if i knew it was in perfect condition i would of stated that.But i didn't..I stated it was no warranty..

I am a stand up guy,and have NEVER had any problems at all.I just sold a used part as is and i am getting thrown to the dogs over it..
The guy bought it,NO WARRANTY,NO way to test it just as it states on the add which he put in his bid and hit submit..
If it would of went for 20 bucks on e-bay then i would of shipped it right out just the same as i did for what it went for.

I am TRULY sorry this is happening.If i would of misrepresented the item i wouldn't hesitate to refund the guy his money..But i did not mirepresent the item.I stated very clearly the fact i couldn't test it and the fact is was sold without a warranty,and he bid on it knowing these facts.Even though he is dwelling on the fact of what was posted in a technical question "which states the same thing as the E-bay add" on here over the actual add he bid on.I see no relevence of his claim. If you read them both they say the same thing..

I have said all i can.I do not frequent this board as my post count shows.But i still hate knowing someone isn't happy over an item they bought from me.Regardless to what led up to it..

Thanks for listening
Steve

You don't need a TR to power it up. There should be 3 wires: power, ground, and the aldl data wire. Connect the power to 12V, ground to ground, and the scanmaster should power up and display the version. Then it will complain about no data, but it will show the version.
