Explain Foxwell NT510 vs Carly
So what would be the difference between Foxwell NT510 multi-system scanner and Carly app in terms of diagnostics? I know coding wise there are pros and cons between them.
Carly can read and clear codes, also can register batteries at $15 a pop. I don�t think it can code injectors though� at least I haven�t been able to find a way.
The Foxwell can read OBD codes from any car and also do specific vehicle operations to BMW / Mini / Rolls. It�s a lot better in terms of diagnostics. It has a lot more functionality in terms of reading live data, freeze frame data, activating individual components to check for faults etc. If you had a tricky fault i�d say you have a much better chance of pinpointing it with the Foxwell tool.
It also has a lot more functionality i terms of DIYs since it can do resets/adaptations
The interface and connection is also a lot better than Carly.
I like the fact that Carly can do simple coding but in general i�m not a fan of their interface and their connection is pretty bad�. even when compared to other wifi based iOS OBD apps

In summary�
Both are great tools, depends upon what you�re looking for. Coding and serious diagnostics should always be done over a wire in my opinion. Actually for coding, I use INPA/NCS.
If you want something you can just leave plugged in and read codes or just log if you feel like it, it would seem Carly is the way to go.
For quick reference I have the dongle in my car and my phone is always in my pocket, for more detailed scanning I like the Foxwell NT510 scan tool over app based tools.
