Upgrading from a £30 engine-only stick is about finishing common jobs without another garage visit.

Frequently asked questions
Which resets are worth paying for?
Oil, EPB, battery/BMS and DPF-related routines show up most often for DIY owners.
Are lifetime updates important?
Yes if you keep cars for years—subscription traps add cost quickly.
Will resets replace mechanical repair?
Never. Resets finish a correct repair; they do not fix worn parts.
Is Android faster than older handhelds?
Modern UIs help with live graphs, but coverage still decides the purchase.
