Not an idea for manufacturers but an idea for dealers is to train your sales reps to use the diagnostic equipment, if some all ready don't. The time that would save already overstretched mechanics and fitters would be unreal. Just my view though

Having had a Sales rep from a local company attempt to resolve a problem with a new baler and totally FU, I cannot say that idea would fill me full of happiness.

Lots of local sales reps here used to be grease monkeys and moved "up" to sales.

So they do know the machines inside out to be fair.

I cannot for the life of me know why they cannot make standard fitment a radio with Bluetooth in every tractor

You're right, BlueTooth should be in all radios offered.
Different customers want different types of radio, from very basic to higher quality. Some radios also need to be CAN capable, if the customer wants to control the radio using controls on the armrest.
Some still want to install their own radio with CD player, even if it can start skipping during bouncy work :)

Add to that a decent hands free system for the phone
