Question INNOVA 3150 Anyone got one? OR?

Looking at getting a code scanner, anyone got the INNOVA 3150 ABS / SRS + Professional CanOBD2 Diagnostic Code Scanner for OBDII Vehicles ?

Amazon has it at $159.00.

If you got one how do you like it?

I hear OTC and Actron have Terrible customer service/support. They are the same company I hear. So gonna staw away from those.

Innova has the 3160 with enhanced Live data but it's $264.99 and I don't want to spend that much.

About $160.00 is my budget for a scanner.

So if you got another model how do you like it?

Thanks

I am pretty sure i have the 313 model which has live data
Works great for the price
but I have to admit
a smart phone
Torque app
and a $20.00 obdii blue tooth adapter works better in my opinion.

I bought the INNOVA 3100, list price over $180.00, Amazon had it on sale for $182.00 printed there info and went to Walmart they had it in stock for more money talked to the Mgr. and they matched the price so I bought it and it works great.

The black 3130 model? No ABS on that one right? It's $176.68 with a current 1-2 month wait to get it at that price from Amazon.

If you had your choice, which do you think is a more important feature the Live Data, or ABS/SRS ?

And what good is the live data for?

I don't use a "smart phone" don't want one either so that route is out for my needs.

Thanks

List is $192.09, Amazon has it at $98.73.

No ABS SRS or live data, miss any of those features or would you want to upgrade a unit to get them?

Do either of you pay the extra for the online diagnostics stuff that gives more info on problem and fixes and how much is that ?

I heard on a review it was 20.00 a month or 40.00 per year for 1 car?

Thanks

Well I finally pulled the trigger on one UPS will have it here today.

Innova 3130C Diagnostic Code Scanner with Fix Assist for OBDII Vehicles.

It's the latest of the 3130 models, 3130, 3130B, and now just released a few months ago the 3130C unit.

New thing included is some Fix Assist technology included. Also does ABS, but not the air bags.

This is 100% the way to go. I think I paid about $15 shipped for a bluetooth OBD2 scanner and got the Torque Pro app for about $5. Best investment I've gotten for any of my cars.

I have the factory manuel with all the codes, so no need to pay for their service.
