    Before buying my current 4Runner, I plugged in the same tools in the used car lot to make sure it had completed all the drive monitors and had no pending codes.

    I bought a Launch X431 a little while ago but haven't used it yet.

    Scanguage 2.
    I used to keep it plugin all the time but now I plug in only when needed. I think it was "CarWizard" video that he said things like scanners, insurance devices, etc could damage ecu. (Can dig in if needed). I believe devices like Scanguage 2 have very low draw vs bluetooth/wifi scan devices or devices with bigger & color screens.

    It was the Royalty auto services that discussed about these OBD devices could cause problems. So now I don't keep my scanguage 2 plugged all the time even though it had a tiny low res, less bright screen.
