    I agree. On long trips, I prefer my "old" '08 Aero. I still enjoy every kilometer in it, the ventilated seats are great, there's less road noise, and it's fast enough even though it's still stock. My '10 NG V6 (also a Hirsch) makes much more road noise and feels much less like a real Saab-you see it, hear it, and feel it. Both cars just passed 105,000 kilometers. Besides that, you feel more special in the NG.

    I appreciate the video tutorial. but I wanted to ask a technical question to see if anyone has had this happen to them and how did they resolve it? When you enter F3: tool Option--> Set Clock you can set the current year 2024, but if you enter Self Test --> Selectable Main PCB ---> Real-Time Clock and you want to configure the time and date from there, it does not allow you go from 2010. and when you restart tech2 it can give you a fail in RTC in the POST due to the discrepancy. Has anyone had this problem and its solution. NOTE: I have the original tech 2, Bin NAO 30.005 support 2011 THANK YOU.

    Do you have to pay every year in order for this OBD reader to work ? If you dont pay does that still work ? Do you need to have internet to used it ? If you don't updates does that still work without updates ? Out from the box can you used it without wifi or internet ? Can this scan for Fuel Pressure ? And can this scan for compression test ? Is this a Complete diagnostic Scan tools ?does it Scan from 1996 cars going up ? How about Toyota Camry 2001 2.2 Liter 4 Cyl or Buick Park Ave 2003 3.8 Liter does it Scan these cars ? Does this scan for battery ignition parameters ? Does it Scan for a bad head gaskets ? Is this the latest version 2024 ? Is the Topdon AD 600 S the same as Topdon AD 500 S ? Is that free also like the AD 500 S? What is the difference ?

    ArtiDiag 600S do not require any subscription. Some things that you do can require an internet connection (I don't know exactly which). It will work as it's best even if not updated but there can new functionality or bugs in an update. The best you can do is to visit the topdon vehicle coverage page.

    It's from 2023 and yes there's no yearly fee on this one. Once you step up a few models like the Artidiag Pro you need to pay subscription. Lifetime coverage, but at some point I think they will abandon the tool because it's becoming too old(slow) to support. I don't see that coming in a long time though. Enjoy!

Another option would be the Onyx Max Boox 3 which has 4:3 aspect ratio and 13.3" screensize. In my opinion that - as cool as it is and it being an e-ink reader - is completely overpriced. I guess the iPad would be a much more suitable option then since you can also watch movies, play games etc. on there perfectly fine.
