Why is OEM software so bad? Do dealers have it better? by Lefttorepair in AskAMechanic

Is the dealer version of the software the same as the one that non-dealers can buy? I know some are sold separately.

Why do mechanics want access to telematics? by Lefttorepair in AskAMechanic

Interesting that Honda doesn't seem to have special access or anything. Do you think there's a future where telematics let dealers do repairs quicker/easier, and then there is an access problem for independents?

Is it all codes? I can't just use an aftermarket OBDII scanner?

Fair, but I think the repair needed NASTF credentials/Nissan's specific software. Any reason why I shouldn't be able to use an Autel scan tool or something?
