Testbook adjustments

How long should it take a competent garage to toggle a setting using Testbook?

I'm about to fit my headlight washers and understand the feature needs to be activated using the testbook.

The nice girl at the ex-MGR dealership I usually use thinks they have to charge for an hour's labour, which appears a bit excessive.

Only other option is to ask them to do it when YP53 next goes in for a service...in 12months time!

Should take no longer than 5 minutes. Plug in wait for the info to come up on screen select the relevant page and toggle the switch. Get everything you want enabled / disabled at the same time. No doubt they have a minimum charge of 1 hour so see if they will do it in with another small job. Make it worth your while.

Thanks for that.

I'll see what else I can play with...the conversation may go something along the lines of:

"Yes, powerwash fitted. Check. Windscreen sweeps..2..no,err..4..no make that 2. Oh, it was 2..never mind. Daytime rumming lights? Why would I need the lights on to know its daytime? Cupholder deployment speed..What do you mean its not listed? Have you seen my new cupholder?..."
