For users eagerly anticipating the 2023 vehicle support for their Innova 1000 Obd2 scanners, we understand your anticipation. You might have noticed other scan tools advertising early updates for the latest models, and it’s natural to wonder about Innova’s timeline. We want to assure you that this is due to our unwavering commitment to providing authentic, legally sourced OEM data, ensuring the reliability and trustworthiness you expect from your Innova 1000 OBD2 scanner.
Unlike many aftermarket scanner companies, Innova operates with integrity, directly licensing data from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). This adherence to legal and ethical practices is paramount, even if it means updates are released slightly later than some competitors. OEMs prioritize their own expensive, manufacturer-specific scan tools, priced at $20,000 and above, releasing their updates in advance of new vehicle launches. Information for aftermarket providers like Innova becomes available subsequently.
Certain less scrupulous scanner businesses take a shortcut, illegally hacking into OEM scanners to extract data and incorporate it into their products. They then market these updates, often through subscription models, to consumers. This unethical approach allows them to release updates quickly, but it comes with significant risks.
The legal ramifications of such practices are well-documented. A simple Google search for “scan tools sued by ford” will reveal numerous lawsuits against companies engaged in these unethical activities. These lawsuits, readily available for review, typically involve allegations of unauthorized access, hacking, and copying of proprietary diagnostic software.
Choosing an unethical scanner can expose you to the risk of your device becoming unusable, or “bricked,” at any time due to legal interventions or software updates designed to counter data theft. In stark contrast, Innova, despite being a leading and long-standing diagnostic scanner company in the USA, has never faced a lawsuit from a vehicle manufacturer. This is a testament to our ethical approach and dedication to legal data acquisition.
Innova’s process involves waiting for vehicle manufacturers to officially release aftermarket data. Our dedicated team of nearly 100 engineers and field testers then meticulously analyzes this extensive information for each new vehicle. This rigorous process includes engineering and verifying thousands of features and functions to ensure comprehensive and accurate diagnostics for your Innova 1000 OBD2 scanner. To simplify the update experience for our users, Innova provides a single, comprehensive annual update covering all makes and models. This thorough approach, encompassing data digestion, engineering, and rigorous testing across all included vehicles, naturally requires time and significant effort.
This extensive engineering investment is why scanners offering advanced functionalities beyond basic code reading and clearing often charge for updates. However, Innova is proud to provide these crucial updates to your Innova 1000 OBD2 scanner completely free of charge.
We at Innova deeply appreciate your understanding and patience as we work diligently to deliver high-quality, legally sound, and reliable updates for your Innova 1000 OBD2 scanner. Our commitment is to provide you with the best possible diagnostic tool, built on a foundation of ethics and engineering excellence.
