Some of you are aware that I have been having a hell battle getting wiring diagrams and reference data. Since motordata.net came out, I have been getting a much easier time. But they don't have everything, especially euro tech data.

I have been getting euro cars of late, so I've been getting either the hourly or daily OEM subscriptions to Toyota, land rover, Citroen, Peugeot, etc. These are cheap, well worth the money and have a wealth of information.

BUT, I have a problem with 2 manufacturers, BMW, and Nissan. BMW (aos.bmwgroup.com) denied me a substription. Their email to me in part:

"We are very sorry to tell you, that currently, companies from non-EU-Countries are NOT accepted in OSS.

Please contact your local BMW-Partner for more information.
Your registration data will be deleted."

Of course, we don't have a local BMW partner here!

nissan-techinfo.com always point only to the American website, but I need the euro tech info site which seems to be non-existent.

Does anyone know how to get around these two hurdles? I have turned away so much business because of these two problems (I really mean A LOT!!) Some of my old clients really want me to work on their cars but I just can't without tech-info. If anyone knows some kind of subscription service outside of USA that can help me, I'd appreciate the tip.

Good evening. I think I may have a solution for you. Have you ever looked into a VPN service? One feature of VPN services is that you get to choose what server you use. In this case you could use a server in another country to get around the geo-wall. As an added bonus it encrypts all your data.

Search for VPN services.
Good luck
