Thank You for trying out the EASE X2 Pro Scan Tool! EASE provides two different modes to help you determine if the X2 Pro software is right for you.
In “Demo” Mode, select a specific vehicle(s) to see what modules and data are supported by the software.
“Try Before You Buy” Mode allows actual communication with a vehicle. If you have a compatible ELM interface, EASE Vehicle Interface or EASE Universal Reprogrammer, you can use the EASE X2 Pro Scan Tool live on any chosen vehicle and try out all the software's capabilities.
