UPDATE:
Right…got to speak to Gendan, very helpful but…the world is against me on IOS (it’s not licensed by them, it’s an app, yearly subscription for each vehicle, requires Bluetooth obd and three sets of cables and is costly)
basically, being generally a Fiat family (including the current Jeeps), they advise
MES, obviously, and getting a stand alone for any other vehicles. The Foxwell 530 being his advised buy over the 630 range (even the pro, which I was considering) as it does 4 systems concurrently…BUT even that doesn’t cover some of the earlier stuff without three sets of cables and extra vehicle downloads for all the vehicles I listed other than Fiat, all updates are Microsoft (not a problem, the wife can take it to work or I can get a mate to use their MS based stuff)…so…
1-I’m not buying two or more bits of kit
2-I’m certainly not buying Microsoft laptop (as previously stated, wifes work or mate can update for me)
3-Foxwell product doesn’t cover anything like what’s stated (which they say in the caveat) in the case of certain marques, Fiat included
4-now looking at Launch (preferred by my independent) or Topdon
5-as an aside to all this research, DONT buy from Amazon or EBay unless it’s a licensed seller in THIS country, otherwise you will NOT get the updates or aftersales service
