🚗 Innova 5100 Pro CarScan Code Reader/Scan Tool with Network Scanning, Live Data, and Bluetooth Connectivity Review

My son's 2003 Honda had the check engine light on for a while and I kept telling him to take a look. This item has arrived and I thought it was the perfect time to try it. I had him plug it in and run it, he gave me five error codes. Took it to the shop and it turned out they were right: the car needed a new catalytic converter and a couple of hoses under the hood were leaking (due to a compression failure). For things we can do at home, this is a handy tool and I'm very happy with it.

I wanted this to diagnose the 2017 Fiesta SRS issue first. Got the device. followed the instructions and updated the device or at least tried to update it. Error message called technical support they gave because it had the latest update. this device connected to the car, and the car menu for all brands appeared only until 2015. The website clearly says that this device is for 2018 and can provide real-time data and reset abs / srs. i cry a lot $200 and it doesn't get better than a 14 channel…

My husband is the chief mechanic and uses this on our daughters cars. They don't have new cars and one or the other always has something going on, so it's convenient. It reads codes and managed to fix them with this code reader. He had no problems and seems to like this instrument very much. This comes in handy in our house as we have a lot of old cars (not old ones) and it helps diagnose them. It works very well on our daughter's Mercedes, which is quite worn out, but it keeps us up to date on

Innova claims you can upgrade. They even offered a free upgrade. But we tried to download and run their "Repair Solutions" software on 2 different PCs. You almost have to disable Windows Defender to start it, then the program won't even run! Writes "unhandled exception, contact technical support". Yes, they tell me it's a MICROSOFT problem! Um, sorry, but if my operating system tells me something is wrong, then your program will not run on two different PCs on the operating system it was…

An extremely useful tool, especially for older vehicle owners who need constant monitoring of potential or emerging problems to keep them running efficiently. Although the 5100 does not have full functionality for any of our three foreign vehicles (Mercedes, Nissan and Volkswagen), a simple system check of the Nissan immediately revealed a potential problem with the EVAP valve that needs further investigation. I would advise potential buyers to go to the Innova website and see if the scanner is

There is a chance I can fix it myself, mostly not on modern cars. Having read a mixed amount of reviews and having built 3 cars this century I was still expecting some issues with the code. What drew me here was the OBD-2 support touted by the "community". The participation of users and "experts" was damn good. Code readers and symptom predictors have proven very helpful when I'm getting strange signals. The number one reason I tried this was for the "Unable to duplicate" or "Situation under…

What Huge Potential! In fact, unlike many other competing products, this is a professional tool as it has access to all the information your vehicle can provide, including its own OEM codes. Most other products such as B. Automatic, diagnoses and resets only "Check Engine" codes that occur under extreme circumstances. However, this device knows all modern vehicles and can retrieve and inform you about all diagnostic codes that appear. Basically, this tells you exactly what the dealer would find
