OTC stopped support for the Encore scan tool 10/24 but the Android 4.2.2 operating system it ran on had been losing abilities for awhile. Ten years on Android 4.2.2 is remarkable but its time had come. The great thing OTC did for the Encore users was not just leave us with an outdated and unsupported system and with us good luck. No. They not only let us keep the Encore which still functions well as a diagnostic tool but gave us what amounts to the upgraded version. The Bosch ADS525 X was sent to us, included with a year of updates and a trial of wiring diagram access. The Bosch tool uses Android 10 and a Google Chrome browser for web searches and results and also has links pre-installed to Motor TruSpeed Repair and Wiring Diagrams. Under the Repair Information header are IDENTIFIX, Mitchell1, ALLDATA, Autodata and MOTOLOGIC links. An OEM header with links to manufacturer sites and the Tech Communities header with iATN and TST links. Relevant subscriptions to those sites required of course.
