I bought the Innova 5610 to shop used cars for my son before I saw this video. I paid over $300, but it is still worth it for all it alerts you to when inspecting pre-owned cars, and it's capabilities as explained in the video. The 120+ page manual is through, and easy to understand. Detailed descriptions are given of systems, computer modules and requirements that need to be met in order to be completely trouble free again. The buttons are minimal, well labeled, and navigating through the menus is easy, too.
Any reviews not mentioning subscription cost is shady in my book. The X431 subscription after 2 years cost more than the unit itself wich is total madness.
After getting scammed by FIXD, I went with the Blue Driver. While FIXD was OK, they suckered me into a $100 per year subscription, that I promptly requested a refund. I got the Blue Driver from Amazon, for $89, so that wasn't a bad deal at all. I own a 2015 Subaru Outback, and while there's never been any issues, at 76k miles, I want o be ready for the inevitable.

I didn't get the inclusion of motopower in this selection. It's pretty useless in comparison to the rest. You should just have listed 4 and based them on full system scans, bidirectional controls, special function access, Live data streaming and dtc data.
There are some great OBD2 devices. But if you are not an actual mechanic, many of the features shouldn't be messed with. If you are just a plain ole Owner. Having the ability to scan an engine code so that you can have a reasonable discussion with the mechanic is the best starting point. Advanced engine and diagnostic looking into may be fun for the DYI person, but the fact is, YOU ARE NOT A MECHANIC. So messing around with the engine features is not a smart thing to do if you aren't trained as a mechanic. Sure, there are lots of smart individuals out there who can do vehicle diagnostics but the gross majority of people aren't talented and can do massive harm to the Engine Settings thinking they are boosting performance.
I agree. These are decently Over Priced Pocket Readers at best. Sure, Bi Directional Controls of what? Regardless of Reader, you need Factory Repair Data to support your findings. Etc. Etc...
XTool D7 costs $130 more and only offers 3 years update while the Innova 5610 offers lifetime updates. Unless you're a mechanic which will fully use the XTool D7 everyday for 3 years to make more than $130, otherwise the it's not worth the price to pay for few extra options.
Xtool A30 is a bluetooth adapter that uses an app on your phone. It has bidirectional controls on all systems and is lifetime update for $130. A30M just has more special functions but is around $200.
