I have a lot of Autel tools and they have been really good for me in the field so naturally the IM608 was my go-to for a starter. The subscription doesn't deter me as it might for others because I ended my snap-on subscriptions now that I've outgrown their capability. Compared to snap-on subscription prices, Autel is a drop in the bucket.
So far it hasn't left me completely empty handed. I had a 2008 Hyundai Azera it refused to pull a PIN code from so I had to buy one. Have a Jeep Commander it refuses to change the PCM VIN over OBD2 on even though it's worked on may others.. Ended up just changing the WCM VIN so that they would sync and that was okay for the customer as we don't do emissions testing. 2008 Saab 9-3 it wouldn't pull a PIN code from.
I have a vvdi keytool max on the way, and the vvdi mini obd should be another month or so, got a deep discount when buying the dolphin machine so figured I would be another weapon in the arsenal.
Currently trying to figure out where to get the best Micropod II clone because I do A LOT of Chysler work and it would be nice to have for locksmithing, and programming/flashing.
