Finding free engine OBD2 software that supports ABS for your Dodge, especially for a 2023 model, can be challenging. While some scanner companies claim to have 2023 vehicle updates available now, Innova is committed to providing authentic, legally sourced data. This commitment to quality and compliance affects our update release timeline.
Why Free OBD2 Software Updates Take Time
We are licensed users of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) data. Unlike companies that obtain data through unauthorized methods, we adhere to strict legal guidelines. OEMs initially release updates for their expensive, professional-grade scan tools ($20,000+) well before new vehicles hit the market. Aftermarket suppliers like Innova receive this data much later.
Some unethical scanner companies resort to hacking OEM scanners to quickly release updates. A simple Google search for “scan tools sued by Ford” will reveal lawsuits filed against companies engaged in these practices. These lawsuits often allege that companies illegally accessed, copied, and incorporated proprietary diagnostic software into their products. Using such scanners carries the risk of them being rendered unusable (bricked) without warning.
In contrast, Innova’s commitment to ethical data acquisition has resulted in a spotless record. We have never been sued by a vehicle manufacturer, a testament to our dedication to legal compliance. We are one of the oldest and largest diagnostic scanner companies in the USA, and we maintain our leadership position by prioritizing quality and integrity.
Innova’s Commitment to Free Engine OBD2 Software
Developing comprehensive updates for all makes and models is a massive undertaking. Our team of nearly 100 engineers and field testers diligently works to interpret complex OEM documentation, engineer new features, and rigorously test thousands of functions for each new vehicle. This process takes time to ensure accuracy and reliability. This dedication is why most advanced scanners require paid updates.
Despite the complexity and cost involved, Innova provides these annual updates free of charge. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we diligently work to deliver comprehensive 2023 vehicle support, including ABS coverage for Dodge vehicles, before the end of the year. We are committed to providing you with a high-quality, legally compliant, and free diagnostic solution.
