    Thanks for the comment. We have worked on vin scanners for years. The problem we encountered is that a hand held scanner capable of reliably going through the dusty front window glass in the direct sunlight is more than $600 and even then they are not 100 %. Maybe some scanner reps will replay and we’ll take another look.  We certainly have shops that would like the ability, but it has to work all the time.

    >Regards, Sam

    From Sam – “We have worked on vin scanners for years.” 

     We have been using apps for iPhone from both NAPA & World Pac for a while now. They both work well, but will not input info into an invoice. 
    So, trying to find a work-around, I bought a couple of these:

    http://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics-TT-BS012-Wireless-Cordless-Handheld/dp/B00E0G2M6U 

    They look like a keyboard to the PC, so it does get on an invoice. The instructions need to be read and some settings changed to get good results. One feature lets you go out, capture the VIN, then when back at the counter broadcasts it when in range. It is not a perfect solution, but will do a high percentage of cars.

    This scanner will work with any program that uses data entry from a keyboard.

      I just purchased the DB Power scanner from Amazon, It does auto fill the work order on Mitchell and works great on most vehicles, But I find the  GM car and trucks have a letter “i” in the prefix to the VIN and will drop the last number from the VIN when up loaded?  May have to try a different scanner or programming for this unit, Price was about $125.00

    Love InvoMax, but I scheduled my hour of training twice in the last few days and have not received a phone call.  It’s very frustrating.  It is now 30 minutes past the time scheduled for training and no one called. It’s after business hours (for me, not InvoMax) and I would love to get this done and go home.   I am a new customer and InvoMax already has my money. . . . . do they just take it run?
