A question for everyone with a SmartTop (but particularly Simon):

"Realtime" seems to be the safest setting, but the instructions say that using this registers a noncritical message in the diagnostics memory.

Does that mean the when I take her in to the dealer and they plug her into the machine that goes "ping", they will know I've been naughty?

What settings are every one else using?

Hi,

Personally I would recommend PDC set to RealTime...

I haven't heard of any messages being left in the diagnostic memory... I have had services and no one has mentioned anything to me... I will ask next time I take it in, as I the engineer I deal with knows about the module anyway!

Sometimes CAN signals may seem to do a certain task in testing, but then something tells them otherwise due to a switch position or some other variable. This is why they have the RealTime and Last reading settings...

From what I gather, the RealTime has not been proved to have been unreliable in anyway and works for me everytime! That is why I would recommend that setting...

Hope that helps!
