Yes they are worth it if you are going to be working on your own engine or a friends boat, And yes rinda does sale updated chips to install in the scan tool as the engines get more complexed over time. Not sure now but the last chip I bought was $125.00ish I believe, And you can order right from rinda by phone.

I have one to. It is for a 496 and I think that I spent $500 on it when I bought it. It is very useful and cool to see all, if any codes going on with the pcm.
