Verus is great. The problem is the updates will make you go broke if you decide to update. Just buy the clone. I bought mine thru alibaba not eBay. For some reason I trusted that more.

I did some research on the Verus, wow, they are like $3,000 plus!

I've had most of their line at this point, Solus, Solus ultra, Verus and Modis. They are all kickass and perform well, but they are way too much tool for your backyard mechanic who only uses them on one make 90% of its life. Just not cost effective to justify not bringing it to a shop to scan.

For about $170, you can get an Autel scanner that will read and clear codes and read data in almost all modules. It does not have 2 way communication though, it will not command changes in the vehicle. I am pretty happy with it. Autel MD802 Maxidiag Elite 4 System Diagnostic Tool Engine ABS Airbag + DS Model
