Review on INNOVA 7100P OBD2 Scanner: Enhanced Car Code Reader with SRS, ABS & Engine Diagnostic, Oil Light Reset + Battery Registeration & Alternator Test by Shree Carmean

Not useful for latest vehicles

If your vehicle is less than 5 years old, the latest software download will not provide all advertised features such as: B. Resetting the battery monitoring system. Prior to the purchase, both the Romodes team and Chris from Innova Technical Support assured me that the latest software update will include a BMS reset for my 2017 Lincoln MKZ. I even called after the purchase to make sure I downloaded the latest software. You just have no idea what features are available in the latest cars. I'm sending it back but the premium shipping I paid for is non-refundable. I've pretty much come to the conclusion that if you want functionality beyond simply reading codes on later model cars, you'll have to spend four digits on a scanner with these upgrades. So I have to take the car to the dealer to reset the BMS after installing a new battery. The dealership has a $2,000 scan tool with a subscription service to keep it updated.

Pros
