Tutorial on WSM?
Does anyone have or can anyone make a clear vid on some of the more detailed ways to use the disk-based workshop manuals?
I may be missing something in the way you get to the actual part of the WSM where it gives detailed directions with pictures. There is a large amount of superfluous clicks and check boxes that really muddy the waters.

It is quite a convoluted process to find things in WIS. I learnt just by experimenting with it. Once you put your VIN in, spend some time trying the search feature and clicking through the sub-systems and you will work out how to show the things you need and navigate more efficiently. It isn't hard, it's just stupid.

Lol. The application itself is substandard - not the person using it or the individual's knowledge of the underlying technology of the car. Way to act like a developer who rarely comes out of a cave to have a snickers.
. Chevy, Porsche, Ford, - and several others have much better organized and designed applications for WSM use. Nothing of the sort if obvious, and a hearty **** you very much.

Don't worry about him, 90% of his posts are snooty rubbish. He has lots of thanks but I rarely see any of that helpful information displayed in the E55 section. You are right, it would be hard to make a worse system. Japanese manufacturers usually provide a full pdf repair manual, much easier to use.
