  I bought a high end Innova 20 years ago because it included free updates for life.<br>Bought the cable and adaptors to do the updates.<br>After checking for 3 years and never seeing and update I called them.<br>They told me mine was to to old to get updates! <br>Never bought another Innova product.

  Considering how much labor costs are nowadays, having a higher-end scanner can easily pay for itself when a moderate or major code is detected; you&apos;ll be armed with knowledge ahead of time about what the possible causes are before taking your wheels to a shop, potentially saving you from being ripped off.

  All cars with screens should be forced to also act as a comprehensive obd

  Imagine seeing a test airbags option with warning signs and you press it out of curiosity and all the airbags deploy 😂 that would be hilarious.

  Wish you had included a review of the popular BlueDriver OBD2 scanner. Otherwise, appreciate this round up, thanks!

  Picked up the Kingbolen Ediag Elite during the Prime Deals for $85 with free lifetime updates. It&apos;s been working great on my Toyota, and the bidirectional tests are surprisingly useful for the price.

  I bought the 99 innova last year cause of many car issues. Cleared them and got the stuff fixed. Now I wish I bought a better one cause I am doing modifications and actually being able to interact is super nice

  That Autel MK808S-TS looks and acts exactly like my Otofix D1 Lite. Indeed, Autel makes the Otofix line of scanners.

  If you do a lot of car work, I think you can make an argument for owning multiple scanners that roughly line up with the 3 you reviewed here. &nbsp;Like you, I like to keep a cheap, simple one in the glovebox in case I need something on the road. &nbsp;I also like to have something simple and mid-range, like the Innova, as my go-to scanner. &nbsp;And there have been a few times when I needed to have access to the advanced features of a high-end scanner like the Autel. &nbsp;I don&apos;t often need it, but in some tricky cases, all the advanced visibility really helped me pin down the root cause of the problem I needed to fix.
