    I have seen apps for only one car brand so it makes you wonder if they are targeted and they look to good to be true promising to do what a $2000 scanner can do. For example there are copies of toyota tech stream for sale on ebay and videos of people using it on brand new trucks seems stupid...

    small motors and a turbo = short life?
