Can you set it up without plugging it into your car (use usb), or do you have to plug it in the car, even on initial setup or updating software?

I believe that there is software that comes with the unit that allows you to interface with it, but most of the interaction is done with the PC- like an external drive. If you need just a decent basic standalone obd2 device this works fine. I returned it because I did not like the logging feature. I keep my bluetooth obd2 scantool, which I got from amazon for 22bucks or so, got the paid version of the Touchscan app for 10bucks, I think and that combo works very well. There are several laptop based usb ob2 scan tools that you can find as well

Connecting to a pc is only good for updating the firmware or downloading the data files, other than that, you will need to connect it to your car.

That I know of, NO ,,, but I have had a friend who's a tech nut say there are ways of hooking it up without a direct plug,, but he said ya gotta buy a bunch of stuff to do that. But again, I'm not into all the high tech stuff,, all I know is it works great for me, easy to set up, and great sound ,, if I was able to get it working, there's no reason most people can't do it. Took all of 5 minutes from box to sound.

I misunderstood what you were saying. I am assuming you want to plug it into a usb capable plug in. I think it would work. I have never tried that. Might be interesting to see if it works in my car like that.

I have two of these. The one I use in the car will connect automatically as it powers off with the ignition key. The one I use in the house is plugged into a wall outlet to usb power supply and I need to unplug/plug in the usb with each use to work. :(

It uses a micro USB. It comes with the unit but I needed to buy one for the car.

Just plugs in the wall as a standalone. You can configure it once you make wifi connection. I hate to advertise it, but its an awesome device!

It does not have a USB input on the front. The USB hookup is a cord that is a couple feet long that comes off of the back of the unit. You can run this down to the bottom of your dash beneath the stereo and access it there if you wish to use it.If the device you are using has bluetooth capability you will not need the USB input at all.

There is a standard usb port on the back of the radio. Run the wire during the install and leave it.

Hi, the product does not come with a USB cable, you'll have to buy one. I bought one but my PC doesn't notice when I connect the scanner to the usb port, so I haven't been able to update the scanner and neither can I get the scanner to recognize my car (toyota corolla 2008).

Without knowing what system and OS you are using most gadgets today are plug and play. Just plug the usb dongle in the usb port and let the software drivers load then just use it.

There is an antenna input. Works of the one already in your car. Wire the gps dongle so it sits on the front of your dashboard. Dosent do anything to the radio reception though.

Nope. The device does require to be plugged in. Once unplugged, it will need to be paired up with your devices again once it's replugged in.

I have a question for you as you have used the Inno for 2 years. In the car, can the Inno receive a signal in standalone form without the antenna? My question basically boils down to whether the car kit is necessary because the adapter is not (it can be run off the battery just like if you were walking outside) and I can plug it directly into the auxiliary line in my stereo. So the other thing I would really need is the antenna. Thanks

Setup is handled by the network connection. Typically you just browse to the ip address listed on the back of the device. The USB is for power only.

Once you plug it in, the software will download from the Internet. Quick process. After that, it's plug and play.

Hi, I found the installation very easy. Everything, (the answer/button unit and the microphone) just plug into the speaker unit each with its owns unique socket. The only "creative" portion of the install is that (of course) you have to get power to it. The unit requires a ground, an "always on" power source (not imperative but good to have as it powers certain nice features such as turning the car off and the unit stays on if you are on a call) and a third wire for power when the ignition is on. That's it.
