Been having fun with this little 650 today!!
Good to know although I am not a fan of the new parts system. I dread the day they turn off the old system.

Same here, I don't see what they gained with the new parts system. Probably designed by the CEO's son inlaw.

Couple of things I like about it:
1. It doesn't "Time-out" like the old one, so you can go back to it after a while/day etc. and it's still 'alive'.
2. You can 'zoom' the pics with the scroll-bar on the touch-pad of your lap-top whereas the old version only has the one magnification level. Small or Big.
3. You can 'search' very easily within a catalogue or within a specific section or even sub-section. (This is a useful feature).
Having said that, the older version is more akin to what I was used to at the dealership using Parts Manager Pro. (PM Pro.)

We have done away with PM pro. It’s all Parts Advisor now. I love it. I like it better than PM pro. Some tech like it some don’t. But as of a month or 2 ago we no longer can get into PM pro.

Thanks for that update news. I'm sure everyone will get used to it. I liked PM Pro because it was all I knew. I like the Parts Advisor and I note the name marries with Service Advisor.
I take it you're at a dealership?
The PA works well on my smart phone too.

I too dislike the NEW Parts Advisor. Last time I attempted to view it it had something labeled ""Snap-on"" on the page
