Choose for the task

Innova 5610 offers supported active tests in a handheld format; MK900-BT adds a wireless tablet arrangement and documented CAN FD/DoIP support. Choose against the vehicles and procedures you service rather than the largest reset-function count.

What to check before buying

Check exact year, make, model and required function before ordering. Confirm US activation, subscription renewals, gateway charges and included adapters; battery-test and camera compatibility do not mean those accessories are supplied.
