Doesn't it ... like anything you are waiting for (printing off that map or addresses just before you go out / catch the train).
That's why I'm keen to try this Toughbook in the 'field' / ITRW to see if the (new) battery is still holding power and I'm still happy to sit there while it boots when in a car in the winter.
I hope to be able to try the VAG-Com on the Seat Ibiza with the fault light to see what it can (or can't see).
When I had the AA guy out to the 'dead' SL63 the other day his 'remote' OBD box required a firmware upgrade (or the BT tablet he was using on it) and it wouldn't proceed without ... nor did the OTA firmware update work (even over a USB cable). I'm guessing it would have been pretty quick to boot and easy to hold / use, had it actually worked. ;-(
