Evening folks, I'm in the Market for a professional diagnostic scanner for my business, I am going to invest in vag-com too but want a scanner to cover everything else. The only one I have used to it's full extent in the past is the launch x431 which I found to be very good. Any other suggestions will be welcomed, am expecting to spend 2-3k for the right kit, apologies for poor spelling/grammar and not owning an mx5!

Think the launch ones are best. Just watch out for the subscription costs redface

Mates have:

Snap on Modus - pretty crap

Snap on Solus - better didn't get all the codes but has very handy diagnosis functions

Launch - reads codes the above two don't

Auto Boss - got LOADS more codes than any of the above

However be aware EXACTLY what connections / software / upgrades / licenses you get and that the USA Snap on scanners are supplied with BETTER software when reading reviews.

On my wifes XC90 the two snap on scanners didn't find a fault, the lauch eventually found one code but the Autoboss found at least 10 (that were present)
