This scanner is perfect for diy and also a shop. The issue with the 2-year update I mentioned in my earlier review has been fixed by the vendor and I am very happy with it. What makes this company a big success is its customer service. I cannot say this to ANY of the scanners I’ve purchased in the past, including the branded scanners that costs 3x or 5x more. We all look for the AFTER- PURCHASE support and this company never fails. If you are on the fence and concerned about the functionality and price, here is my honest opinion. It’s worth every penny! You are buying a quality scanner with a customer service that is over the top. Your other option is to buy a slightly cheaper scanner and you’re on your own without after-purchase support from the vendor. NO I AM NOT PAID TO WRITE THIS REVIEW. I just want to help out by giving you my personal experience with the scanner and customer support. Good luck!

it has been a good tool the bi directional controls are nice and the graphs are pretty good as well overall it’s a good tool.

The setup process involves downloading all of the latest software that they have available and as I'm a bit OCD about such things it also included reading the owners manual/instruction booklet that comes with the tool. Most of the setup was either fairly straight forward or intuitive if one has had any experience with these sorts of pc driven diagnostic tools. When I connected this tool to my 2021 C2S it did recognize the car correctly. Year, Make, Model and VIN (which is how Y.M.M. information is determined) were correct. What data it could read was accurate and easy to obtain. Bi-Directional functions were fairly limited, but those that were available did function well. So my overall impression is that it is a tool with the hardware capability, system programming and the promise of functionality in the future

Very fast shipping. I just got it in the mail and activated 2 days ago and have 2 years free updates. I used it to test on my 2 cars.
