Does the 5610 work internationally? The Innova CarScan Pro 5610 and its accompanying app are designed for use in the United States and Canada.

Vehicle Compatibility and Feature Limitations with the Innova CarScan Pro 5610
Will the Innova 5610 work on my car? The Innova CarScan Pro 5610 is compatible with most OBD2-compliant vehicles. However, the available features may vary based on the year, make, and model of your vehicle. Use the Coverage Checker on the Innova website to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
Does the 5610 support FCA vehicles (Jeep, Chrysler, etc.)? The Innova CarScan Pro 5610 can diagnose all systems on FCA vehicles manufactured in 2017 or earlier. For 2018 and newer FCA vehicles requiring AutoAuth access, functionality is limited to features like TPMS relearn and live data. It cannot perform tasks like erasing codes, oil resets, or battery initialization due to lacking AutoAuth capabilities. For full AutoAuth access, consider the Innova 7111 tablet scanner.
Can the Innova 5610 reprogram car computers or program key fobs? No, the Innova CarScan Pro 5610 does not support vehicle computer reprogramming or key fob programming.
Will the 5610 work on a car that won’t start or crank? No, the Innova CarScan Pro 5610 requires the vehicle to at least crank in order to establish communication with the Electronic Control Units (ECUs). A running or cranking engine is necessary for the OBD2 scanner to connect and retrieve diagnostic information.
