Innova 1000: Connecting without starting vehicle QR

To connect and read codes, your engine doesn't need to be running, but the ignition must be in the "Run/On" position to fully power the engine controller.

Ignition positions typically include:

  1. Off
  2. Accessory: Stereo and auxiliary equipment are powered, but not the engine controller
  3. Run/On: All systems fully powered
  4. Start

For vehicles with a standard key-based ignition system:

  1. Plug in your Innova 1000.
  2. Turn the key to the "Run" position (just before starting the engine).
  3. Ensure your cabin fans are working; if not, turn the key one more click.
  4. Start the app and connect.

For vehicles with a push-button starter:

  1. Plug in your Innova 1000.

    • Toyota, Hyundai, Nissan, Honda, Kia, Mazda: Press start twice.
    • BMW: Press start button 3 times quickly.
    • Volvo: Twist the switch on the center console clockwise for 5 seconds.
