My issue with the device is software installation can be a real pain as the instructions have previously been recorded with PCs that used Chinese instead of English pictures, with the audio sometimes being poorly worded in a non-English sort of way along with the typical lack of understanding that somebody who is thoroughly proficient in doing an install has when trying to tell a neophyte what to do, they assume you know more than you do. I purchased mine in 2019 and have updated it two times since then although I just purchased a 2024 car and am getting ready to do another update. It seems the instructions have gotten clearer over the years as questions have been asked.

I have this one from Autel. So far I’ve diagnosed failing HVAC blend door actuators and done a couple transmission clear/adaptive resets. Definitely worth the money.
