I seriously doubt there are many CU's which are using auto-enhanced scores; they're way behind the tradtional banks in terms of score adoption. Penfed / DCU / and I think NFCU use a single score version for literally everything, and Penfeds #4 in the US, NFCU #1, what's the smaller CU set likely to do in this regard?
Also in my file at least from recent testing, benefits to my FICO 8 scores translated to all of the FICO 8 Auto Industry Options too, across the board. Likewise my older score versions mostly tracked too within their given model version (Bankcard 04 is a wierd animal for me though)... which supports the usual theory of: create a pretty credit file, and you'll get a pretty credit score regardless of what model is chosen.

It's 100% an auto enhanced, i spoke with 2 seperate reps. The second i made sure to not mention anything, i asked what bureau they pull(equifax). 'so if i just get my fico score equifax that's it and i'm good', rep: no we actually use an auto enhanced version of equifax. So fairwinds atleast is riding the wave.
And in my situation the little bitsof corse will matter, If my fico eq is coming in at 650, so i automatically assume it's atleast 660 for my auto enhanced, they pull it and it's 659 since it's only five months or so into the report, i'd be pretty upset. Relevate, how did you get your auto fico's? Here? and if so, which product did you have to select? The $20 or so it will cost to know for sure when to refi, is nothing compared to a whopping 2- 2.5% difference in interest
Its really still going to depend on your file,
I'll share my situation to show what I mean
my file has several charge offs a few years old a couple new credit cards with $6000 in limits with about $2500 used
ALL auto loans in my file have always been paid 100% on time. One loan is $5000 remaining on a $35,000 loan the other is $16,000 remaining on a $28,000 loan
my TU FICO 8 is 617
my TU Auto Score 8 is 615
my TU Auto Score 5 is 573
my EQ FICO 8 is 624
my EQ Auto Score 8 is 632
my EQ Auto Score 5 is 626
hope this is remotely helpful.
all of these score are from myFICO
I have the 3 bureau monitioring. The fico score update whenever there is an update to the report, however with that option you only get one 3B report every 12/months.
if you get the 1B report with score it should have all the scores.

Sorry if i'm asking dumb questions, i just feel as if myfico isn't clear enough to me on their site. So if i order the one that the 1B for 19.99, the essentials, it will update whenever there is a change(which realistically, is all that's needed) and whenever it DOES update, i'll have my auto score/fico 8/whatever other scores it gives, for that new update? correct? And those 6 scores in that im assuming are predetermined and aren't up to me to choose.
Edit: Just called fico, they said the other 6 scores will only update in according when i get a new credit report, ie: once a month. 3 of my cards will be reporting on the 23rd, and should be updated with the bureau's by the 26th, So i suppose if i do sign up for this, it would only make sense to wait until the 26th. If anyone can tell me that's wrong that would be great, otherwise i'll just be waiting. Thanks for all of your help.

The additional scores don't update, and I don't think MF offers a 1 once a month update (yet) would be awesomesauce if they did though, may need to in response to CCT's new release from a product perspective.
What you really want is the Equifax 1 Bureau pull for $20, that'll give you your current snapshot. Stupid dumps from some of my own reports while mortgage chasing and some testing:
