Dell Car laptop

[Somerandomguy]

Yes, its 5 years old, and in good nick with charger and batty seems to be holding up well too. I also got a docking station with it with the CD drive, but wont be using that in the car as it makes it bigger. Heres a quick snap of it running through the last of the Audi updates.

I will take 1 or 2 at that price if they come with charger and docking bay, no need to install anything.

You can't go wrong with the Dell to be honest even if it's 5 years old and only little spec as thats all what's needed for the use of VCDS and ETKA/ElsaWin.

Price is very reasonable

PS. Do you have to change the system time to launch your ETKA and is there a trick to get the updates working as mine 7.3 just wont do the updates.

I have 7.4 international with update tool 1.05 that works just fine, I believe it should work with 7.3 as well. I you PM me your e-mail address I can send you a copy.

D430 was a solid laptop.. I still have my D420 from when I worked there, approaching 8 years old and still works fine.

Your e-mail does not like my attachments so I have added it here.

Update tool is for data only, does not update prices, I have not had price updates for a long time myself. Just run the update tool, it should find the Etka installation and download updates for it, the next time you start Etka it should see the downloaded updates and ask you if you want to install them. You might have to repeat it several times if you have not had updates for a long time, I think It’s only downloading 5 updates for each brand at the time. I have also attached latest price files I have which are from September 2013.

Morning Ainars
You are The Man, Thank You for that, great stuff
Not sure what's wrong with the email.
It's good to have up to date prices from time to time, but it's not a big problem, local Audi parts blokes are not that bad.
Cheers

I have been changing the date, but found a czech updater online which seems to work nicely, but there is a limit to the updates That you can apply I believe (it was certainly asking for 7.4 when I tried running the updater on a 7.3 installation)

It looks like anymore that I can get will be a slightly lower spec, either 1.06ghz or 1.2ghz, but hopefully I'll be able to knock a few quid off if theres inteest.
