Default Which OBD scanners can handle two MAF sensors?

I have an Innova 5410 which reports ONE MAF reading even though the XF V8 has two. I asked Innova is it bank1, bank2 or the average? They replied "average". I'm not sure I believe it, I think the "technician" just repeated one of the options I provided to get rid of me.
But it made me wonder which OBD2 scanners actually report BOTH MAF sensor readings in a two MAF system. I have been told that SDD does, but I am interested in commercially available scanners.

Cheers!

Thanks, that's a $1000+ pro level machine though, I was wondering if any diy level, say sub $300 machines can do two?

Maybe just SDD with a "clone" interface?

Yea your running into what all of us that have SDD find? Good after market scanners are expensive and even then might not see everything that SDD does. You now see what price is required. Also you will need to pay for updates and possibly even more cost for the yearly subscription based junk.

What a terrible business model for the consumer. You NEVER get it paid for. Just keep sending in the yearly fee's to keep it working. That is until the company decides to stop supporting that device and introduces the next new device! I have went thru this with two different devices/systems that are now pretty worthless as support has died. All money spent a complete loss.

Like you I wanted to fix my car DIY and a $1K+ scanner was NOT the way to go!
I fought getting a working SDD and that is my recommendation to you. It's just plain worth the effort!
Now the BIG tradeoff is SDD will require a large time investment from the user to get it up and working. The actual cost is very low. I purchased a used laptop for under $200 that is ONLY used for SDD! A clone Mangoose cable for about $40 and hacked Jaguar SDD software for $0.

Also note the current PathFinder Jaguar software (which replaced SDD and earlier systems) is 100% subscription based and unless your device is connected to the Jaguar servers 100% of the time it won't work.

As with many things you have your choice in how to approach this. Money or time? It's up to you.

hello colleague, I work with exactly the same software in a car service in Russia and I have enough of it even at the professional level of repair, the question is not on the topic do you happen to have a cathode with electrical circuits for a land rover?
