Looking at the Autel AL619 and the Innova 3160D.
The 3160B looks good to but not much cheaper.

Both look like great scan tools and in my price range. What would be the difference between be other than price?

Can you put a "hands on" on either of them or is this an Internet buy. seems I recall hearing that maybe the Autel required some software purchases to make it anything other than just a simple OBD2 code reader. The Innova I'd maybe expect the same maybe?

Ask lots of questions and beware the vendor maybe!

They both do live data and graphs (and ABS) which is why I am looking at it. I need something like my Tech1 but for OBD2 systems. The 3160D will do OBD1 but not really focused on that aspect of its capabilities. Lots of good and cheaper scanners out there but just trying to overbuy a bit to stay up on the technology.

Innova seems to have good and easy support.
