Don't know what you mean. The VIN is the key to building your access to the app. You won't find anything in the owners black carryall. The VIN is on the yellow sticker behind your seat and on your screen door (as well as your registration for your tag/title).

Have the number handy and call Joyce.

Does anyone know how to download and save the manual PDFs? I don't know how to save to to my iPad.

DW doesn't think you can save from the Entegra app to the IPad. You are viewing a PDF within the Entegra app. We don't see any place that gives you the option (a pull down or a screen object). She'll continue to look; just doesn't think it is there. She's my expert and pretty knowledgable with the IPad.

My iPad is wifi only. It would be great if we could save the manuals for reference without being on line.

Are you watching Entegra?

Yes, go to the App Store and download a PDF app. Some are free, others you pay a small amount for. I use GoodReader but there are many others. Then you save the manuals or any other PDF in the app.

TerryO, I'm glad you figured out how to do it. Would you please share? If I have the manual open in the Entegra APP, what do I do to save it? I have lots of other PDFs saved on my iPad, they show up in my iBooks APP., but haven't been able to get the Entegra manuals saved down. Please provide as much detail as you can.

Augh, I see that you can't open these like a normal PDF. Must be protected in their system. I didn't try saving them before because I saved mine off the CD that came in my Black Bag.

I can pretty much do anything with .pdf files, but not these files locked into the Entegra App.

Hey Entegra, I'd sure like to be able to download these files into another application like Goodreader or iBooks using the "open in iBooks.." function. This way if your app changes or you decide not to publish older manuals in the app I would still have them. Especially the system manuals. As you update your coaches will you still publish older system documents on the website?

Dumb question but can you email to yourself and save from there?

Not a dumb question but it's hard to explain. Entegra built this pretty good iPad app to do several things. One of which is to view manuals of the various coaches and or systems like "Air conditioning". The problem with the app is it opens a .pdf file in a window and you can't print, email, or download the file. I'm sure somebody is worried about propreitary information but that seems odd since almost every other manufacturer has them in the open in their Customer Support area. Entegra is a great company but a little behind the others about web savy.

This App has the .pdf file pretty locked down. The only thing I've been able to do with this file is copy (set the define area) and paste into an email or note on my iPad.

If you put it into a note on your iPad and your iPad is linked to your mac book, it will show up in your notes. From there, you could put into word or pages and file it for those times you don't have internet available but you need the information at your fingertips.

I wonder if Entegra will email them out of post on their site?

Before the Entegra app came along, Joyce emailed me a regular .pdf of our manual. Wish they had done a full one which would enable me to go to the table of contents, click on a chapter or sub chapter hotlink and jump right to the appropriate section instead of having to page through or search for a particular page.

I have enjoyed this post. Not having an i-anything I won't get any of the manuals from the app. Owning a 2002 TS they didn't even have owners manuals, so I guess I don't feel cheated

Everything about the older TS's we learned from the forums and hopefully someone had some knowledge about the subject. Times have changed and I have to say for the better. It is nice that the Entegra's have owners manuals.
