| I am not familiar with either tool other than seeing Scotty use them (who gets them sent to him to evaluate so costs him nothing). But for the rest of us who have to pay, my best advice is to buy whichever tool from an authorized dealer of the company - that way you won’t get scammed, and will be covered with a warranty, software updates, service if needed, etc. This becomes even more important when you spend many hundred of dollars (and even thousands) on a scan tool. The other advice is - is there an office in your region? So say you live in the US, is there an office somewhere in the US that will answer your questions (should you have any) as well as process and take warranty claims including service on the unit itself (worst case) - that way you are not dealing with the company in China directly which can be a nightmare. The last piece is how long has the company been around - are they established or are they a new company? If new, will they be around in the future? One thing, too, is years ago Scotty made a video on a Thinkcar dongle - about how it would be a game changer because it could do many of the things that a higher end scan tool would. So I bought it from the company direct and it was a big disappointment - full of bugs. So, I would be weary to jump onto a tool (especially expensive one) that Scotty recommends. Go with a tool/company that has been around and they even other mechanics use. In my mind, I am settled on Autel for fancier scan tools - lots of mechanics I know use them (including Scotty, Car Wizard, and our own @Mod_Man and @BruceRee ) and they are far more established and have reputable products. I have the MX808 and even recently plunked down good money on the MS906BT (which does bi-directional). Innova is an honorable mention. I know Scotty used the MS906BT before in his videos and he also used the Innova as well. If you care, see my write up below on scan tools (specific Autel and Innova models are mentioned in them, and how to get them): | |||||

| It is a pretty good scan tool I've been testing one out and that price range it does quite a bit. Just realized all those particular scan tools will promise more than they do on every single car and a lot of times they'll have disclaimer that says these features don't work on all cars check yours to see if it works | |||||

| I live in the USA, but I want a scan tool for Toyota, Honda and Suzuki cars with live data and free updates. What would you recommend? I live in Ohio. I want to buy a scan tool for Toyota, Honda Suzuki cars and SUV'S. I want one with live data and free updates. I was looking at innova 5610, but some people say that it doesn't support Toyota very well. What would you recommend in the $200 to $500. dollar range? Thanks, Dennis- | |||||

| This post from @daywalker is pretty comprehensive: I recently was able to pick up an Innova 5610 from a Pawn Shop for 200$, I did test it before purchasing it. | |||||

| See my write up below on what to get: if you are going to spend that kind of money I would look at more reputable, true and tried brands. Also, at those price points you should only buy from the brand’s authorized dealers if you care about authenticity (lots of counterfeit or inferior clones out there and Amazon is NOT always an authorized dealer), warranty, software updates (to accommodate more features or fix bugs), service/support afterwards. | |||||
