You might be wondering why updates for 2023 vehicle support on your Cell Phone Car Scan Tool are taking a bit longer than some competitors advertise. It’s a fair question, especially when you see other scanners claiming to have the latest vehicle coverage already. The reason lies in our commitment to providing you with reliable and legally obtained OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) data for your diagnostic needs.
Unlike some scanner companies that may cut corners, vcdstool.com operates as an authentic data licensee. We strictly adhere to the rules and regulations set forth by vehicle manufacturers. Many other businesses in the scan tool industry do not obtain their data through legitimate channels. This difference in approach has significant implications for the quality and safety of your cell phone car scan tool.
OEMs typically release updates for their own, often expensive ($20,000+), manufacturer-specific scan tools well in advance of new vehicle releases. This allows dealerships and authorized repair shops to be prepared. However, the process for aftermarket companies like vcdstool.com is different. We must wait for manufacturers to officially release data for the aftermarket. Only then can we begin the complex process of integrating this information into our cell phone car scan tool software.
Unscrupulous scanner companies often bypass this legal and ethical process. They resort to hacking OEM scanners, illegally copying proprietary diagnostic software and data, and then incorporating this stolen information into their own products. These companies then sell these updates to customers, often through subscription models, misleading users about the data’s origin and legality. A quick search on Google for “scan tools sued by ford” will reveal numerous lawsuits against such unethical practices, detailing claims of stolen software and intellectual property theft.
Choosing an unethical cell phone car scan tool comes with considerable risks. These devices can be rendered useless (“bricked”) at any time if manufacturers detect and block the unauthorized data access. Furthermore, using illegally obtained software can expose users to security vulnerabilities and inaccurate diagnostic information.
In contrast, vcdstool.com, like Innova, a reputable and long-standing diagnostic scanner company, has never faced lawsuits from vehicle manufacturers. This track record speaks volumes about our commitment to ethical practices and legal compliance. We prioritize providing you with a dependable cell phone car scan tool that you can trust.
The process of integrating new vehicle data into our cell phone car scan tool is a substantial engineering undertaking. It involves our dedicated team of engineers and field testers meticulously analyzing manufacturer documentation, deciphering vast amounts of information on new vehicles, and rigorously engineering and verifying thousands of features and functions for each new model year. To ensure a seamless and comprehensive update experience for you, we release one major annual update encompassing all makes and models. This thorough approach, while time-consuming, guarantees the accuracy and reliability of your cell phone car scan tool.
This extensive engineering effort, which involves nearly a hundred professionals, is the reason why advanced scan tools that offer more than basic code reading and erasing often require paid updates. However, at vcdstool.com, we are proud to offer these crucial updates for your cell phone car scan tool free of charge.
We deeply appreciate your understanding and patience as we work diligently to deliver high-quality, ethically sourced, and reliable updates for your cell phone car scan tool. Our commitment is to provide you with the best possible diagnostic experience, built on a foundation of integrity and legal compliance.
