I bought this scan tool a couple years ago after watching one of your other videos, but I didn't realize it had this ability to pair with my phone. I just added the app and paired the scanner to my phone for my Toyota Corolla and Toyota Yaris. It was very easy to do. Only took me a couple minutes. Thanks Scotty

[@kayjay4060]

The best feature is when you do a system scan and you can send the report to yourself. Either text message or email. It shows you everything.

[@dmac3576]

I bought one from Harbor Freight. Used it to diagnose a multiple misfire code on my truck. I started from the smallest cost solution and cleaned the MAF sensor first and then cleared the code. It hasn't come back, and it's running smooth. I had just installed new spark plugs and I knew that wasn't it. It has all kinds of test you can run plus look at live data. I've even used it when car shopping and it helped me avoid a money pit!

I bought one of these a few months ago when the 2013 Dodge Journey we inherited (with only 14k miles) popped up with an ABS light. Pointed me to the LF wheel speed sensor. 30 minutes of work, problem solved and the tool already paid for itself.

[@wendyphillips5002]

@@AapVanDieKaap I have several cheaper scan tools that have saved me lots of money. Why pay the dealer to find out what is wrong with our vehicles? Even the cheap scan tools find the easy and common problems. I have had a P0420 catalytic converter error code. I bought a can of Dura Lube Catalytic converter cleaner. I passed my Oct 2023 California smog test with no P0420 error code. I will use it again in 2025. It is a catalyst, like in chemistry a catalyst is not consumed in a reaction by definition. Cleaning the catalytic converter really works, saving me over $2,000.

[@alanwhiteside410]

I bought the 5610 two days ago at a O’Reilly’s automotive store and I told the salesman that the box looked like someone used it as it had dirty finger prints on it I got home it had no manual or paper work I hooked it up to our 2006 Equinox and everything looked good then I found my car listed plus a 2014 Equinox and I don’t have a 2014 so I figured this tester is used so I took it back to the store and they didn’t have another so they ordered one from their bigger store who is their supplier. I actually wanted the 5610 v2 model but this used one was a 5610 so on with the story I put it back in the box and I seen a two page pamphlet crunched up at the bottom of the box. So they ordered the new scanner and I picked it up yesterday in said on the box 5610 same model I thought but when I removed it from the box it was the newer version 5610 v2 with a rubber protective case around the scanner plus this had the protective screen cover that you peel off and it had another cord that plugs in the bottom of the scanner a USB cable it also had a fairly thick manual and a case to put everything in. So far I’am happy now. I wasn’t impressed with O’Reilly’s trying to sell me a used scanner at $309.99 September 2024

[@korybeckwith834]

@sonicelectronic57 Because many shops don't know what they are doing, charge an exhorbinate rate, and replace things that didn't need replacing. I'll just do it myself, since I have better luck getting repaired quicker.

In the 90s I crawled under a Plymouth in a junk yard. It had torsion bar springs. Back then safety wasn't an issue and when pulling myself under the car the rim that the lower control arm was sitting on shot out from under it and the arm pinned me down. Only a few minutes later, luckily, a passer by saw me and just so happened to be carring one of those folding suicide jacks. As soon as he got me out from under the car he asked....." How did you manage to get under there?" Hind sight is 20/20.

How does this scan tool compare to the BlueDriver? Is it worth the extra $150 and if so, what additional data does it give access to?

[@derek7819]

It has features that help you find issues faster. For example, if you have a brake problem, you can get a code and generic live data with BlueDriver and go through trial and error, or use bidirectional control in the Innova to test each part directly and see which one isn't working right.

[@ASJC27]

Bluedriver was a good deal a few years ago, but it’s not very good value these days. I just got a touchscreen tablet Foxwell full systems bidirectional scanner for 137$ delivered. Its capabilities are well above the bluedriver for similar money, and it’s much more convenient to use. One common example - most modern cars have electronic parking brakes that need to be wound back when replacing pads. You need a bidirectional scanner like the foxwell to talk to the car and tell it to put the EPB in service modes. The bluedriver can’t do that. There are manual workarounds, but they’re a hassle and take up more time.
