View parts catalogs on a Mac, or iPad, or iPhone etc

[pamwinn]

Has anyone figured out a way to view the newer (non pdf) parts catalog on a mac, iPad, or iPhone? I do not have anything that uses a windows OS.

I believe you can get the ios viewer directly from Siemens.

Thanks. I've been a member of iRV2 since 2007 and have found a lot of useful info. I never realized I had never posted. I guess I always found what I needed. We just recently acquired a Winnebago View and are new to motorhomes.

Thanks. I am checking it out. It does not have a browser plugin though and I don't think I can download the catalog. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I'm not an Apple user, but I believe to download the viewer, iTunes must be used.

I was able to download it just fine but it is for viewing standalone files. It is not a browser plugin so when I go to Parts Catalog and try to open the parts catalog for a 2013 View Profile 24V all I get is a blank screen.

I hope Winnebago comes up with a solution for Apple products soon. A lot of people, well me anyway, travel with iPads. I've been trying to figure out a way to read that catalog for weeks. I even installed VirtualBox on my desktop and a Beta for Windows 10. I downloaded the Cortona viewer as instructed but the plugin does not work in this pseudo windows environment I've created.

Your not alone! We travel with three iPads, three iPhone 6's, a MacBook Air and a MacBook Pro. And there's more Apple products left at home.

Winnebago is missing the boat for us Apple folks.

My work around has been to use VMware Fusion which allows you to designate a portion of your Mac hard drive for windows. Obviously this does not help with the iPad issue, but it will work on your laptop.
