I don't know that pride had anything to do with his response. Maybe. But not with mine. I've made many thousands of dollars with my 1 thousand dollar scan tool. It's updated constantly, annoyingly so. If a 2021 or 2022 comes into my shop today I have access to it. Any brand. Even Bugatti, Lamborghini and Ferrari which I'll likely never get to play with. Ford and BMW both use pretty heavy encryption now. The small companies aren't getting access to their modules. Launch and autel do. And the OP said he was new to jeep (implying they aren't brand loyal) and that they were a mechanic. If all they want to work on is the one jeep, (or Mopar) then jscan is likely the best choice and priced very well. But given the information in the original post and considering what we were given that would be presumptive of us, and the others options weren't prideful, they were directly answering the question thoughtfully with the information given.
Just myself, my parents and my sister have at this point, 3 GM, a Toyota, a hyundai Santa Cruz, 2 subaru, 5 light duty Ford, 3 Mustang, one heavy Ford, one heavy GM, a Ram and a Wrangler. And a new car coming soon because one got hit. Just waiting on insurance. So that's 20 vehicles and jscan can be useful on 10%. The un named vehicle that hasn't been bought....I know I'm covered. Will likely be another Santa Cruz or subaru though. My launch has been used in every one to at least change lighting setup, door unlocking setups, and disable those frigging seat belt chimes. I was given a 100 dollar bill for setting a lexis to open all doors when the proximity key was sensed rather than just the driver door. Several new vehicle have to have a computer to change the brake pads and rotors. Nothing wrong with getting the ins and outs of all the different computers and letting the Op (or future readers) decide what their needs are. I don't care if the op buys what I have or not. I make no money from it. No pride involved.
And besides that, if you don't have a grand to blow then buying a jeep was a bad choice in the first place. That's common knowledge.
