Autel MaxiCheck mx900 / Unboxing / First Impression

[@dr.kilowatt]

Thanks for the real world perspective. I agree with you. Looks like i will pass on this purchase as well. Thanks for taking the time and sharing.

[@looonytoonz]

If anyone is wondering, I did end up returning everything and ordering the mk808s-ts. Unbixing/review of that unit coming soon!

[@maxsievert85]

Pros with MK808S-TS is bluetooth and TPMS function, However it doesn't support new DOIP protocol so you're not able to do all diagnostics on newer Volvo, Landrover, VW and more to come. You should have got the MX900-TS instead.

[@BionicSammich]

@@maxsievert85 Is the MX900TS basically just a MC900 with bluetooth?

[@KramerTheWatchGuy]

I just ordered the MaxiCOM MK900-BT/MK900BT that should fix your issue.

[@johnkersey3351]

I just checked the Autel website and couldn't find a product with the name you just listed. I also couldn't find it on any of their authorized retailers' websites. I DID find an Amazon and eBay listing for it. Are we sure this is an official Autel product and not some knockoff? Or maybe it's just too new and not listed on the website yet.

[@drivingreview1578]

Thank you for the review, would you happen to know how well does it code keys and diagnose airbag problems?

[@looonytoonz]

Haven't attempted that yet

[@CarlWilliams-u3y]

The mk808k is Bluetooth. It does about the same.

[@willborio8613]

So want bluetooth. Bought one that isnt the bt option then spemd another 120 on an adapter. Instead of spending the extra 150 to get the mx900bt? I mean im being a smart ass. But they do have the standard and bt versions.

[@looonytoonz]

@willborio8613 yeah I figured that out.... on Amazon, half of them feel like scams so it was confusing. The one I bought first absolutely had BT however it had been disabled leaving it useless

[@clintonmiller9684]

So I just wanted some instruction. It sucks to say yours is most informative. Not really. Cash you change title to Autel no Bluetooth rant.

[@CarlPierrelouis-v7b]

Hello, can I program keys and ECU with the MAX check 900 ?

[@kevinhannaford6414]

Would have loved to see the review on this scanner, as the header says it was about. You mistakenly uploaded the wrong video, we got the video which was 50% about looking at the box and about your shops snapon scanner, the remainder 50% about how it never had Bluetooth and how upset you were. Perhaps you should ask all relevant questions about a product before buying. All in all a waste of 20mins as no content about the working of the scanner at all.

[@generalrommel5666]

Take this however you want man but if you need to get permission from your wife to use the money you earned then she’s not respecting you. Nobody asked, I know.

[@looonytoonz]

Your good man, It's not a "have to ask," I ask out of respect for her. She works hard as well and brings good money back to the home, so it is our money, and I don't usually make big decisions without running it past her. I buy tools all the time without asking, but this was $750 after taxes. I wouldn't want her to go buy $700 worth of house decorations without me knowing!

[@generalrommel5666]

@@looonytoonz I was worried she’s in control and wanted to help a brother out but it seems like u got it all figured. Anyway that’s a great review u got there thanks! This device helped me diagnose a 2011 convertible Lexus IS 300

[@stevenmcdonough1]

My ol lady doesn't even want to know how much i got in tools😂😂😂😂

[@auntenticone827]

Can you do a crankshaft position relearn with this tool on a 2021 sierra at4? Or with another les expensive Autel? I highly appreciate your help

[@looonytoonz]

There are about a thousand different varieties of Sierra. However when manually trying to look it up with general selections I was unable to confirm if it does or not. If I run into a 2021 Sierra of any model type I will check again.

[@CarlWilliams-u3y]

Does it actually do 3000 tests?

[@looonytoonz]

i wouldnt know, i returned it and purchased the mk808s-ts instead. it has bluetooth as well as full tpms functions

[@404notfound.....]

​@looonytoonz Should get the mp 808. It has full bi directional control. Worth the extra 💰

[@badwabbit1973]

having 3 autel scan tools all dead by different means like ms906 went buggy so i restored to factory just to wipe tablet??? BT906 an upgrade to lose cord yet only works if vci is plugged into tablet ,, the ts508 is an error machine!!! autel warranty is garbage just a regurgitation of subscription priority ,, but why would you invest more in what was under their socalled sub warranty never fixed or addressed!!! Autel is a decent scan tool with built in obsolesence features for exrta cost to cunsumer!!! between their failed warrant and proprietary data theft lawsuit you have a sort of rebranding of OTOFIX emerging !!!!! becareful of any computer that wipes useability on restore to factory!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stevenlemay9004]

It was an opportunity for them too make money they lost out

[@jaybee5832]

Guy does a whole rant video about it not having Bluetooth. 🥱

[@lololman97]

Fr, lack of personal research.
