TIS Subscription: Does it have 2020 wiring diagrams? (and a bit of a rant)

    for my last vehicle, I purchased a CD from Helm Inc. I don't think the UI had an update since the mid 90's, but at least the wiring diagrams were accurate and complete. A small hack to avoid having to put the CD into my computer that has no optical drive and I could access it whenever I wanted - yes, because I paid for it dammit! If I was motivated enough to be an activist, I'd definitely want to support the "right to repair" movement. It upsets me when this information is withheld or held for ransom.

    The consensus seems to be that the only available "true" 3rd gen service manual is via the TIS subscription service. No, I'm not talking about the 1k+ page monstrosity that contains marginally useful information. I want wiring diagrams where I can actually trace a circuit from one end of the truck to the other.

    I'm willing to try the subscription (and yes, to try and make much of this available to me offline whenever I want it - yes, because I PAID FOR IT DAMMIT)

    ...BUT...

    When I look at the details for what's provided for each model year it looks like there are no wiring diagrams?!?!

    So can anyone tell me what I'm actually buying access to? Maybe some sample screen shots before I waste my money on something that won't meet my needs?

    Thanks!
