    A print out for the current customer, and future customer offers a media we are used to, especially now Service Data has moved away from a book, a till receipt just doesn't cut it.👍

      Agreed. It's simple to send a report to a customer from this via email. Then follow up with a call to explain the needed repairs. It adds confidence that your a good tech.

      You need to go with what you think you need for the money- if you are a general tech, you might go with the lesser model, if you are a more experienced tech, then go for the one that does more

    I bought mines 2 years ago from OBDspace, and free lifetime upgrades was advertised. After owning a Snap-On Modis Edge at $900 a year I thought was kool so I gave it a shot. After 2 years of ownership they now want $99 a year. It’s a small price to pay but it’s not what I was offered at the time of purchase. I’m more of a VAG guy so for me this doesn’t do it. Thought I share that!!!

      Hmm. I wasn't aware of that. Did the screen pop up and tell you your sub had expired? So far the updates have been free for this one.

      Get the Launch or Autel, and don't allow updates, just like Ivan at Pine Hollow, turn off the wifi and don't update it ever....
      I thought I bought it, in fact I seem to have rented it instead.

    Mine shut down and wants $99 bucks to resume operation, it's just like BMW charging for heated seats, I believe I will obtain another tool and "air gap" the thing.
    I don't want updates, nothing good comes from them, and I don't remember being told it was subject to a continuing subscription fee.
    "Air Gap" it, shut off the wifi, see if that helps avoid extra fees, I wish I knew it went like this, I would have saved some aggravation and money.

      Not on all cars! On some cars it will go into every sub system, but there are certain years, makes and models that not all functions work. They update the tool so they fix stuff like this as they go.

    I went with the X7HD for the big stuff and a V6 pro+ for the automotive OBD stuff....the V6 does a lot for the price..on point with autels(and better) ...id recommend the V6 pro vs the X7 (12v obd)....for $60 more,its worth it.....The X7HD for heavy diesel does a ton of stuff...both units for around $1000 ....that what it costs to update a snap-on😂

      I was wondering about the comparison between the X7 and V6 Pro+ and whether it was worth the price difference as I didn't read anything which was convincing enough to choose one or the other. Thanks for sharing a firm opinion.
