Recently Scotty mentioned in one of his youtube videos about a new INNNOVA scan tool that was sent to him and he said it was the best one to buy for around $300. My question is what specific model was he talking about and does he have a youtube video about it yet? I would like to see what his current top 3 to 5 picks are in the sub $500 category. I'm needing a good quality scan tool that will do bi-directional testing and show live data so I can better diagnose my family and friend's cars. I'm just a do-it-yourself person. Not a professional mechanic.
Thank you
This would fill you in on Innova's scan tools https://www.innova.com/home/guide/best-obd2-scanner-page
Scottty's other recommended scan tools are on this page under Tools - https://www.amazon.com/shop/scottykilmer?listId=2XW7WGTYW92WE
Yeah, thanks, but I actually wanted to know the specific model that Scotty was talking about. It's not listed on his amazon page yet.
Well, I remember that he said that it was a $300 tool that did almost everything that his expensive scan tool did, so I would assume he meant the $300 one - it seems to have all the critical items.'
I just punched INNOVA into the search box. Isn't technology great.

When it comes to scan tools, you can’t go wrong with Autel. Even Scotty has and uses (including recently) the Autel Maxisys MS906BT, which has bi-directional control. However, it is $1,500+ tool from authorized Autel dealers.
For the majority of us, I strongly recommend the Autel Maxicheck MX808 which is about $400. However, it does not have bi-directional control, but again most of us won’t need that.
If you do buy an expensive scan tool, I strongly recommend you buy from one of the company’s authorized dealers if you care about support, service, and warranty, and to make sure you don’t get scammed.

One place I recommend buying from: they are an authorized Autel dealer
