k4mrc Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Silca machines only program silca products apart from T5 chip to the best of my knowledge. very brave of them, as anyone that is thinking of upgrading to this system will have to keep there old machine till they use up all there old chips (or give them away if they sell it), - I am still testing this but really now am thinking of 'putting it back in its box to return' as the chips cost more than all my others (except tpx3) and I have been told that upgrades are on way for my present machine to 'catch up' with this.

Ridgeback Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 You have the advantage of re-using them up to 5 times. I have had a number of TPX2 failures on Toyota ID67, Jaguar ID60, and a Scania ID60, and had to bin the chips. I've had a PBOX since it came out, and its never failed. You have a visual LED indication on the snoop that it has been successful, rather than hoping you've sniffed it OK. TPX2 are about a £1.00 cheaper, but TPX4 are about £1.00 more so its swings and roundabouts. As I use it mainly for ID46 it's beneficial to me. It'll be interesting to see if TPX prices start to come down now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
completelocks Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Not had a TPX fail on me yet (touches the wooden bench) and TPX4 can be re used again and again. like you say, it's swings and roundabouts... pros and cons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Had 3 x TPX 2, 1 x tpx3 failures but also a couple of EH2 Failures as well. No MH or GTI failures so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
