Heads up, brother... the automotive technician needs to invest in tools...a tool in that price range is going to be pretty limited in what it can and cannot do

If you want to play god with cars...you are going to need the factory scan tool per car model you work on...does not come cheap...but you will be able to play god to each brand of car that you possess the factory scan tool...I have preached this from day 1...I think thebigkendo now appreciates why I have held on to that position, maybe he could chip in some words

Bigmind:

Ok Sir . Would get back to you after doing my findings . Thanks !

Not everyone wants to be an auto electrician. There are just every day average blokes who will need a functional, modest scanner to scan their cars on a personal level to avoid the car been kazeemized.
So for such kind of person, you may not really recommend the very high end scanners (my thoughts though). I'm also interested in a modest scanner but the gurus are not forthcoming with suggestions
Let me call kingreign first weda e go answer

That's why I asked him what car does he want to scan.

So I could help him better, his answer seemed to suggest he wants to do it professionally

Hence my response about professional scanner

I have recommended a non professional scanner before on this forum
