Question Question for the Subaru shop guys.

What scan tool do you guys have for Subaru's? Is there a generic brand to clone the factory one or do you guys just use the minimally functional Snap-On tools?

I know there Auto-Logic for German makes, which we have, VAG-Com for VW/Audi's which we have. Figured I'd ask before telling my boss the factory one on ebay is 5g's (which isnt that bad).

We're a European shop but we get a lot of customers who also own Suby's that we do basic stuff on but my boss is thinking about making me a more involved Subaru tech...which Im cool with cause they are easy to work on, for the most part.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

The Vag-com and ROMraider works on Subaru. Not sure if this combo was ever made to work on CAN cars though.

Ah, I bought a tactrix cable today for my personal cars and that does a lot of engine data but looking something that goes into every module.
