I have an Innova 3100. Works not too bad for most problems and comes with free internet support and for $10 you can sign up for extra support. I find it a little better for my gas Liberty than my 05, 6.0 and Jetta TDI. I'm thinking of biting the bullet and getting an Autoenginuity for my 6.0 so I can benefit from the live data streams and graphs. The guy's on here and the ORG. swear by them.

This works pretty well for me. You do need a laptop.

Lots of monitoring and graphs and other info, but no "forced tests" in the basic package.

Do you have a Android phone? If so Torque is a good app. I bought the $25 bluetooth adapter on amazon and it works great.
