You’re such a humble guy that’s why I watch the channel, instead of saying pico stole your idea for the jumper wire idea you just say they thought of it too! Good man

[@nicholasierubino8223]

Show the air bag goof! It will get it out of all of our minds and "explode" some reality for people who need it. Make it a do's and don'ts

thank you Paul for another great educational video.

[@zuurik666]

i bought the older version of it in december 2019. absolutely nice starter kit regardless of being the "starter pack". Ordered it from UK amazon but as being more hobby-mechanic, i needed to use the 4 channels recently and found out that one of the cables included was short-circuited...haven't been able to get in touch with the seller yet, but i probably need to do extra 50eur shopping for new one. Regardless...im very satisfied with the pico quality and i can't wait when im confident enough to buy also the pressure transducer....i think i order it from aeswave this time

[@lrmastertech]

Thanks Paul, great video!

[@Nabeelco]

I'd love to see that airbag video in full. It seems like a good learning lesson to experience. Any plans to release it?

[@williamshewell9319]

Would love to see a 2 or 3 part course on the PicoScope 7.0. Other classes are great just dated.

Looks a nice bit of kit dude liking the smart plug system. time to invest in a new one I Think thanks for the video paul.

[@Jpilgrim30]

Gotta get it! Only thing I don’t like is that I sometimes use my Pico clamps with my snap on or otc handheld scope for quick checks or parking lot work. Either way this new scope is bad ass and I love the thought of not having to pick probes and setup new channels.

[@areid1440]

The air bag, Such an honest guy.

Paul it would be cool to see you do more vids with the NVH kit. I remember you once used it on your truck I believe in the classroom. I think it was a front axle issue iirc.

[@chrishill5166]

Love watching your tutorials. Shame you don't work here. I've had a garage looking at my car for 6weeks now. They have been diagnosing for a total of 7hrs at £70.00 an hour and they haven't fixed yet. Come on Paul, move to UK. Keep up the good work.

[@ralfsautomotive]

I just looked at them last night. But, I wonder what the contacts will do over time.

[@francisphillips8192]

I'll get one when i can afford it untill then i'll have to make do with my older kit ,what do you think of the new software?

[@thisisausername1265]

Very jealous of the new Pico there. I got my 4425 last fall; I really hope they continue to support the standard 4425 as I'm thinking about a pressure transducer. Not sure I like the new attenuator setup though.

[@franciscolandrau4661]

Nice kit. I’d have to question the need for so many leads for only 4 channels. All accessories are available for purchase if cut, burned or lost.

[@gooe9561]

Good presentation. The strength of the 4425 pico in general is the speed of the unit and the software. I see this new kit/scope as an updated for those purchasing for the first time, or upgrading from a very old scope such as a generation 1 Vantage. What additions would justify a purchase if I already own a 4425?

[@mike-yp1uk]

Great video. I'm looking for a good scope because the Zeus gives a lower resolution than pico.

[@richardcranium5839]

lol too late steve over across the pond already showed off his. but thanx. i like the accessories and the auto id feature but am wondering how those contacts will hold up in a field environment. perhaps you can show the software in action sometime soon. am especially curious the frequency the park assist sensors use

[@DJDevon3]

6:52 I imagine that running tests on EV's might require a temp probe. It makes sense when independently diagnosing a BMS low temp issue due to a faulty BMS sensor or something like that.

[@ralfsautomotive]

Here is a little education for you!! LOL I have learned so much from you so I will share this. You can extend the USB3 Connection with an "ACTIVE" Usb Extension Cord. Been using that for a while now.

[@ScannerDanner]

nice! when I google searched the 3.0 lead, I saw that they were making stuff like that so I never gave a spec. Glad I didn't

[@juanmata9674]

Very nice

[@Zakarya_Al-yafei]

Nice scope, it worth to have it

[@alanw5879]

I know this is an old post, but as for the resistive Flexray cables, was there any idea how much resistance those leads have in them? I was reading that in some cases special leads for Flexray were needed, and I can see why now, but they were really expensive.

[@mostlymoparih5682]

Holy exploding air bag Batman, I mean Professor. Good stuff Professor.

[@cowlevelcrypto2346]

Awesome !

[@billyr9840]

Paul, that air bag clip is some funny sh*t ! Bet you didn't think so at the time ! LOL ! The new Pico is sweet dude ! That was so funny, I had to watch it a second time ! Sorry dude ! LOL !

[@ann-marienewbound9402]

I had recently purchased the 4425 kit and was not overly happy that the 4425a was released only a few weeks later. I wish Pico had done more to advertise the up coming release both before and maybe even during my purchase. A small investment for a professional garage I am sure but a massive price for an individual car owner looking after their own vehicles. Still a great piece of kit, Pico should be aware if not already that many people including myself have purchased their product due to your extensive use and praise of their automotive scope.

[@ScannerDanner]

Who did you buy the scope from? Maybe they will work with you on an exchange. I'm sorry this happened to you.

[@ann-marienewbound9402]

ScannerDanner Direct from Pico online. No need to apologise, they are a business and these things happen. I have kind of gotten over it but sometimes it just pops back up and drives you a little bit mad 😡

[@waynejones143]

Hey Paul, I got my advanced kit through 4 days ago. The Premium 6 way break out leads were not in the set when I opened them. The bag to hold the leads is in there, but no leads. I noticed you said here you had a separate delivery for your leads, did Pico inform you of that after you had purchased the kit? I have contacted the supplier to see what is happening as it says on the site I bought it from that the leads are in the set description. Been 4 days now and no second package has arrived. Still waiting to hear from the supplier as well.🤔

[@ronringler4286]

Thank you Paul and Caleb. Good job. Do you have to use the new Pico 7 software or can you still use the Pico 6? Have a blessed and safe week to you and your family.

[@ScannerDanner]

Good question, I am not sure. The software is free to use for everyone, so at least there is that right?

[@benmartins6283]

Hi Bill, you can use both but you must install the latest version of PS6 from the website www.picoauto.com/downloads. Please take a look at the release notes for extra information on both PS6 and PS7.

[@SYDiagnostics]

It certainly looks a comprehensive kit, especially with all the extras. Nice to see its backwards compatible with older accessories.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Okay, i'm scope jealous now.

Good investment 👍👍 Can u make video on Resistance Graph and Reverse Senor signal. It would be very interesting to watch.

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

Great unboxing, I went for the standard kit and now I'm jealous 😂, can never have too many ways to connect. This really is a game changer and removes 90% of new user hurdles re setup and connections. I love the Pico7 software as well. I winced when the airbags went off 😂 Stay safe Brother 👍

[@danielfraga3968]

AIR BAG 101 most RCM modules have a roll over sensor interal to the module. Lol good stuff. Bad ass scope also.

[@ScannerDanner]

It is my understanding that only the ones with side curtain airbags have this feature as part of the module itself, as I have worked on my airbag systems in the past and never had an issue, maybe I've just been lucky? Correct me if I am wrong, thank you!

[@philh9238]

Question when you plug in the voltage test lead and it identifies it. Will it automatically scale the voltage or do ya still have to set up the range. This looks much better than the ats escope. Damn Paul must of used his trump check to buy this thing it’s 3500 on aes

[@ScannerDanner]

The scope will auto scale to the levels it sees. Also, PicoAuto sent me this scope for free and honestly, it was sent as a thank you for all of the scopes they've sold over the years from people who mentioned me as the primary influence on why they bought one. So when I did this video, I didn't have to at all. It was my way to say thank you back to them.

[@philh9238]

So say I’d check a charging system it’s charging at 14 volts then all of a sudden shoots up to 30 volts. Would it auto scale? I’m still using the old busted down verus model you had years ago only for a scope not a scanner. Got this on the list after the cardaq plus 3 I have the 2 but need 3 for new Chrysler can channels. I’ve been watching since ya did the injector flow testing on a neon I think it was

I see they upgraded the price too. Wow.

[@autogc22]

My hantek will do the job until I can afford to buy one (probably never) but hey, nice tool anyway Pico.

[@davidturczak7253]

I guess I would have to stick to my older pico because I started with a bare bone setup and bought my accessories from aftermarket companies and use them with my pico to save money . LOL

[@JD-iu3vi]

Mr. Scanner, is there a low cost($300 or less) bi-directional scanner that you would recommend for people that want to work on their own cars?

[@ScannerDanner]

a good bi-direction scan tool will cost you at least $1000-1500

[@michaelmobilautodiagnostic6705]

I just bought the older model last week and still waiting on it to come in from ase wave. Do you think the new model would be better? Would I be able to use the smart bnc on my verus edge?

[@scottandresen806]

You cannot use Smart BNC on anything other than the new Pico scope. It uses standard BNC size, but does not twist to lock so the lead would fall out unless you taped it together. You also wouldn't get any of the Smart BNC benefits of probe recognition or powered clamps because those use the 6 pin connection the Verus would not have.

[@moneymikesupplymusic]

Where is the video that shows the air bags coming out?

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

Is the new resistance lead nothing more than a standard "smart voltage test lead" that is programed to set the scope to an auto range ohm scale ?

[@scottandresen806]

No, to measure resistance you have to supply a known voltage across the circuit. That is why you cannot measure ohms on a live circuit. This test lead has an integrated circuit board so it works the same way a multimeter would, but the scope is doing the measure and conversion to ohms.
