Thanks Taly , been out of my free update period over a year already and I do have another 16GB backup card of it's present software in case the card in did become corrupted. I do have that original 4gb card , just the way it came out of the box. I never used the 4gb card before, The contents were copied and saved in my PC and transferred to a 16GB card before I even turned on the unit , registered it and updated the software immediately, so DS708 only seen 2- 16gb cards in it since I've owned it. I don't think any make's software started losing some OE level functionality until later updates that took away the factory logos and I read guys on forum complaining about alleged software downgrading.
I'm too scared to experiment trying the original 4gb software card , then it reverts to earlier settings or Chinese text and find the later cards no longer work in it and be forced to buy a year of post lawsuit updates of Autels Beta Testing hit or miss software on me for another year . LOL, I am sitting in limbo wishing to hear progress, more reports about more positive experiences , and added OE functionality restored to new updates, but other than seeing 912 guy being impressed with the new European BMW software which is a good thing, I will probably wait for a dire need for newer car coverage before I decide to upgrade to a MaxiSys any time soon. I was hoping to sell my DS708 as is and use the money toward offsetting some expense of upgrading to the newer maxisys , but without Critical thinking guys like Ede65 reporting all lost functionality was restored and more functions added besides, why upgrade to something else for awhile?
