Now since I can remember, companies have created there interfaces for cars, in the past several years. But main problem…never had software for MAC, or it was just a pain to actually learn and use. It was always windows, and it was limited. Between a crappy interface, and a boring scale to look at. Not to mention the crashing of many windows laptops. (lord the pain). Finally a company has remembered the osx users of the world, and of the car industry and created so far, the best looking, and most user friendly management system we have seen in a very, very long time.
The brains behind this software is YHASI. Now while this company does have a lesser grade software, we were given Movi Pro for this review. Now lets start with the basics, you will need the hardware since its intended to get the information which is stored in the Onboard Diagnostics (ODB) system.

Pros & Cons
