How to choose a Car Scanner - Differences in Automotive Diagnostic Tools

Thank you , and never ever vote todays Democratic Party!

I bought a scan tool from advance auto parts for about $300. It does practically everything I needed to do. I’ve always considered getting one for a couple grand because the amount of work you can perform on your own vehicle instead of taking it to a dealership you would be saving yourself thousands of dollars in the long run, regardless of what kind of vehicle you have for the rest of your life and you always get free updates on those larger pieces of software as well

Please advise which scanner is good with Toyota. I have a launch. Cant seem to pick faults on Toyotas

wouldn't you call a cheap $15 thing most likely be just a code 'reader' ?
Other than that, I find this a super helpful way to find some guidelines in my search.
These days it's hard to know anymore if we are speaking the same language.
One of the nice points was where you point out generic OBD data vs vehicle specific modules.
Since you mention it, I guess that's real basic info, but I didn't know enough to identify the feature.
It was just one of endless fuzzy unidentified questions constantly short circuiting between my ears.
Armed with this new line of thinking I will try to make a chart to ask and answer all of my desires
(concerning a scanner anyway) .
Many thanks for lots of great info here to help me find a way through this maze.

The more Expensive the better. That's what I've learnt

What’s a good scanner to re-set the bcm and read modules to find issues

What is needed is car specific scanner information such as, "what works best with a 2003 Subaru Forrester?" Specific information for locating a good functional scanner is excessively lacking availability. It seems that not all general non-specific scanners work with all vehicle's.
