Are you wondering when your Innova Bluetooth Obd2 scanner will support the latest vehicle models? At Innova, we understand the need for up-to-date diagnostic capabilities. You might have seen other scan tools boasting early support for new car releases, and it’s natural to question our update timing. However, there’s a crucial reason behind our approach: our commitment to ethical and legal data sourcing, which ultimately benefits you and the reliability of your Innova Bluetooth OBD2 scanner.
The automotive diagnostic data landscape isn’t always straightforward. Many scan tool companies cut corners, obtaining OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) data through unethical or unlawful means. These companies often reverse-engineer or even hack OEM scan tools, copying proprietary information to quickly offer updates. This shortcut allows them to appear ahead of the curve, but it comes with significant risks.
Consider the legal ramifications. Major automakers like Ford have sued scan tool companies for illegally accessing and copying their diagnostic software. These lawsuits, easily searchable online (“scan tools sued by ford”), reveal a pattern of unethical data acquisition. Purchasing an Innova Bluetooth OBD2 scanner means avoiding these risks. We prioritize legal and ethical practices, ensuring your tool remains reliable and legally sound. Using unethical scanners could lead to your device becoming unusable (“bricked”) at any time due to manufacturer interventions or legal actions.
In contrast, Innova has proudly never faced a lawsuit from a vehicle manufacturer. As a leading and long-standing diagnostic scanner company in the USA, we adhere strictly to legal OEM data licensing. We wait for manufacturers to officially release aftermarket data. This data, initially provided for expensive OEM scan tools, eventually becomes available for aftermarket companies like Innova. Our dedicated team of nearly 100 engineers and field testers then meticulously processes this massive dataset, engineering and rigorously testing thousands of features for each new vehicle model.
This thorough process is why Innova updates may take a bit longer. We consolidate all makes and models into one comprehensive annual update to simplify the process for you. This extensive engineering and testing effort is also why many scanners with broader capabilities charge for updates – but your Innova Bluetooth OBD2 scanner updates are always free.
We deeply appreciate your patience and understanding. Choosing Innova means choosing a company that values ethical practices, legal compliance, and the long-term reliability of your Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, providing you with dependable diagnostic information year after year.
