Yes, the replacement is a WiFi laptop. I dont know anyone with one yet outside the dealerships. Im sure its done just like the tech 2 was where you have to have a subscription for updates which was about $1200 a year. I dont know if the laptop will do older or not, every time I have been at the dealer they were using tech 2 on older cars still. Could be they just know how to use them better though.
If thats all your wanting to do I would recommend buying just the scan tool from efi live. Its alot cheaper and can scan things a tech 2 cant. Its also a hell of a lot cheaper.
