Why register your scanner?
While you don’t need to register your scanner to use any of the diagnostic tools, registering your scanner will allow you to run software updates and let our software development team better diagnose issues with your scanner when they arise.
Step-By-Step Guide

2. Select “Sign In” or “My Account” and choose “Free Registration” on the following screen to create a new account.
3. Enter your email address in the email field. (Use an email you can access easily because the scanner will send you a verification code.)
4. Tap the “Send Code” button and then open your email inbox to retrieve the verification code.
5. Enter the verification code into the verification code line on the scanner.
6. Create a secure password and enter it in the password field.
7. Agree to YOUCANIC’s Conditions and tap the “submit”Free Registration” button to complete registration.
8. After pressing the “Free Registration” button, press the “Submit” button on the following screen. This will register the serial number printed on the back of your scanner to the email you used to create your account.
