    I have noticed the same thing. Very few cars auto id anymore. Plus, I had to write a vin
    to a new pcm on a 2005 toyota corolla and the maxisys would not do it. My snap-on
    scanner did it.

     I found when I try auto id many times it wouldn't work also but if I went to manufacture app it would read the vin most of the time

     I agree with you. If you directly to the manufacture most of the times we are able to read the VIN.

     I gave up on auto id a long time ago. It was frankly easier and quicker to go and select the manufacturer manually and go from there . It would take to long to auto id and then half the time after waiting for it to id the car it would tell me it could not I could have the car id manually by the time all that happened. It is a cool idea but again a frill that they should let go of and focus on the core purpose of the tool pids and bi-directional

     I complete agree, the autoVin is one more function that is increasingly less effective

     Yes neat idea but not functional more times than not, I have lost the ability to merge graphed pids now since the last update it's greyed out and have looked at if I had some how disabled it still only had the unit for 3 weeks now and still learning has anyone else had the same problem.
