Unfortunately my "customer" shares my bank account or maybe I share her account. No matter as it is all coming off of the same slate.
I have been avoiding P4P like Carly because it is actually cheaper to have somebody else do it and pay them for their time.
Hope it works out for you and please keep us updated in case I find a way to justify my fourth OBD/programming package.

^ What he said, including customer data. Fortunately for me I'm grandfathered in with Carly as an early adopter. Best ~$130 spent. But no way would I pay as I go with it. The Foxwell has supplemented it nicely for everything before "F" chassis Bimmers, and now I've got INPA/NCSexpert/dummy suite running (will work on ISTA+ when I have a bunch of time, and alcohol, handy) most needs are being met.

In your situ Andrew I think that one definitely makes a lot of sense. I hope it does everything they claim. Please do update on the product.

As more of these companies come out with this business model (it's permeated every industry really, not just auto diagnostic) I think a full ISTA package makes more and more sense. It sucks to set it up, but I'd rather spend a week or two fiddling with drivers and software packages than send yet another company money every month. Hell, I even refuse to do monthly auto insurance... I prepay. /rant

Agree.



I got carly early, before they went to the subscription. Haven't used it in 6+ years.

Have foxwell and ISTA.


If these companies actually improved their products year in and year out, I might feel better. But they do nothing in the rear view- only look at new models/new customers. IMO


BUT.......very interested to hear what Andrew finds with his review(s)
