that is the $700 question. Like u I have less than 1 month left on updates. I have not updated since before system 1.29 version came out. Nothing good enough to justify it. Watching what has been out there for new updates in the last month has been disappointing. Autel says a bunch of new updates will be out in oct. It may come too late for me. In reality the last 3 months or so has not had many useful or major updates so I am not sure what the next year will hold. The tool functions well now and I could probably live with what I have now. I do not see autel restoring lost functions or adding things that will make the tool better. ie removing module tree function. I could be wrong. For me I will push it to the limit and might go a couple of months over my subscription before I decide to pay $700 for another year of updates. Watch and see.
