I have a Foxwell NT520 Pro cost around $175.00 shipped.
You can get it loaded with any manufactures programing. Ford,Porsche, what ever.
You can also down load additional programing for an added fee. So if you own say a Honda and a Porsche like I do, you can use the scanner on both. It gives you OBDII code reading and manufacture specific codes of which ever manufactures programs you have loaded.
It gives you live data, graphing, component actuation such as fuel injectors, heater fan, cooling fans, What ever the manufactures programing allows in the way of component access. So with the Porsche program I can test or actuate anything on my 2000S Boxster that my Durametric can actuate or test.
The advantage of the Durametric (for myself). is the big laptop screen.
It allows me to graph several signals at once and compare them.
On the Foxwell I can only graph two signals at once and the screen is small.
The bigger issue with any scanner or test equipment is knowing what your looking at and how to use it in a diagnostic process.
Which for me is always an ongoing process.
FSM paperwork?? just so we are on the same page do you mean Factory Service +Maintenance paperwork???? Or???
