Once everything has cellular connectivity or satellite based internet connection, those will be the only way you will be able to access those programs and the information.
    That will end aftermarket scan tools if that happens. I wouldn't even want one for free that couldn't function independent of the internet.
    You can expect the reputation of your business to be no better than the cheapest item or service you are willing to sell. - Wheel

      The TOTAL RELIANCE on the internet isn't going to work out well.
      Virus', scrambled 0's & 1's, interruptions, CONSTANT "revisions" (which are really bubble gum patches for bad software, can you say MICRO-JUNK-?), the list goes on.
      Sure, use the technology but don't rely on it exclusively....
      The "smart phones" are making people dumber-!!
