Pro Level Features in an Affordable OBD2 Scan Tool
Purchased the Innova 5610 to replace an old code reader tool with very limited capabilities. I decided to splurge and get the 5610 since it has bi-directional diagnostics and can actually command several of the engine's subsystems to operate to determine if there is a fault. This is a huge improvement over less capable scan tools that can only read stored codes. I also love the "All System Scan" feature that goes deep into the car's systems to find issues that do not necessarily throw a code and illuminate the MIL. Some of these are easy fixes, but I love that the tool can find these minor issues.
The free Innova Repair 2 Solutions app can be downloaded to your phone or tablet, and it connects to the 5610 via bluetooth. This app will transfer the data from the scan tool to your phone so that you have a record of your vehicles, their decoded VIN information, any issues they may have, and any upcoming maintenance work to be done. Very handy to have this information available in your phone when searching for parts online or at the auto parts store.
Free upgrades to the 5610 software sealed the deal for me! Other scanners with the same capabilities had limited free updates, or required that updates be purchased. Overall I am very happy with my Innova 5610!
