Roger,
Please be sure to copy the text file starting at the word odometer, as displayed in the attached picture. Copy and paste that in to the website and it should then work.

Roger, please be sure to copy and paste from the line starting with "Odometer" and below - do not copy the vehicle-specific information at the top, since that is all set inside the app. – karlbecker, on October 07, 2009 00:45

Agreed, that should be shortened. I will change it to something shorter in the next version.
P.S. Glad you blurred your VIN :)

The oldest service entry is the date it's grabbing, yes. Probably makes sense to keep that just as the oldest fuel entry rather than oldest service entry - you can see the graph is spaced out evenly, not graphed with a true timeline at the bottom... for instance, if two of those gas fills were on the same day, they still show up the same distance apart as two fills a month apart.

It is not a bug, but I think it is an improvement that could be wrapped into the next version - fair comment! I will put it on my to-do list.

The idea in iPhone apps is generally to keep information independent of each tab - so if you tap away from gas entry and look at another car, the car on the "New Gas Fill" screen is still the same.

However, I think this makes sense to change it for this particular case, and this may very well be changed in a future version.

For now, do you understand how to change cars? Just tap the name of the car on the "New Gas Fill" screen.

Hello Brian,
You can add brake repair, or any other kind of service entry, to Car Care.

1. Tap on New Service at the bottom
2. Tap on Edit in the top left
3. Tap the "+" button and add anything you want

I will add a better selection of default services and service reminders in the future, too.

Thanks for the report - we have identified and eliminated this problem in an earlier version, and we handled this in email off this website, so just wanted to know the solution would be to update to the latest version of Car Care.

Hello Dirk,

Can you please describe to me what a recense is? Is it identification?

I am happy to add a Dutch localization if I can find somebody with skills in the language - however, I do not know of anybody. If you can suggest someone, I would be happy to talk with them.

karlbecker replied on August 25, 2009 00:12 to the question "Backing up CarCare data" in KB Productions:

Byron,

In addition to email export, iTunes automatically backs up data for all applications on your iPhone each time you sync. This means if your iPhone is damaged, or you are migrating to a new iPhone, your data should be saved in the Backup and be able to be Restored via iTunes. This worked for me personally when I migrated from a first generation iPhone to the iPhone 3GS.

The email export is a dependable backup system for getting your data off your iPhone, too. It is a secondary backup system to Apple's built-in iPhone backups in iTunes.

Does this ease your fears about backing up?

Most apps have no further backup beyond these two methods - an online sync or small desktop app is a possibility I am investigating for future versions, the most likely implementation being online sync.

It should be working when going beyond the number of months... Anyone else experiencing this?

karlbecker replied on August 15, 2009 02:18 to the question "Reminders alerting on the date not the mileage." in KB Productions:

Ivan,
Sorry I have missed responding to this in awhile. Can I ask if you had both date and mileage set? I'll need a little more information to fully help... reminders should be working both ways.
