[s-cars] Re: Bentley CDs, version 1, 2, 2.5

There's been a lot of questions about our repair CDs.
Version 1 has the pictures of the cars on it:

Version 2 has a white cover, with a red stripe across it:

Version 2.5 will be out by the end of the year.

Our basic upgrade policy is 50% off a new CD and the current CDs are still priced at $99.95. If you want the 2003 edition you would need to do this.

However, we are very interested in moving all of our CD users from version 1.0 over to version 2.0 CDs (or 2.5 later this year). Therefore we can offer you a FREE upgrade to version 2.0 (2002 edition) while supply lasts. All you need to do
is send us your original 2000 edition CD-ROM in it's original jewel case with insert booklet and we will ship you a 2002 edition CD-ROM for your particular car.

For the 100/A6/S4/S6 cars, the only differences in repair content, is the early CDs had a bit more in wiring on component location (same as book).  The version 2 left this out; but I'm adding it back in to the content on version 2.5.

Version 1 also did not have the service bulletins.

If you would like to take advantage of this limited time offer send your old version 1.0 (2000 edition) CD-ROM to:

Bentley Publishers
Customer Service - CD exchange
1734 Massachusetts Ave.
Cambridge, MA 02138

Be sure to include your mailing address (street address for UPS)

Also be aware that the new CDs (from eBahn version 2.0>) no longer run on Macintosh.

If you later want to upgrade to the new 2.5 edition, it will be an upgrade at 50% off list price.

I believe you will be able to use the reader version 2.5 with the 2.0 CDs, via a free download, but that's still in testing.
