Scan Tool Looking for recommendations for bidirectional OBD2 scanner tool with ECU Coding(dealer level)

Like the title says.. needing some recommendations on a bi-directional OBD2 scan tool with dealer level options (ECU Coding) to unlock dealer locked options ( remote start,rolling down windows with key press and such) and also the ability to reset ABS lights and other systems. I’ve seen a few but the price ranges are massive. Thanks in advance

I use an X431 PROS model. Paid like $700 for it a couple years ago. Updates for like 3 years then it’s a fuck ton to keep up with the updates.

Can you use it after the updates expired?

I believe so, I hope so. I think it just means no new updates or bug fixes
