Can the Autel MaxiCOM mk808s keep up with the Snap-on Modis edge?

I got the Autel MS906PRO a few weeks ago. I also got a subscription to Mitchell1DIY, I picked the 4 years for $60...Great deal. I went into my Mitchell1DIY account and downloaded EVERY schematic/Wiring Diagram for my vehicle, and also downloaded EVERY Component Test, Operation and Theory etc. I put them all into seperate folders and placed them on my Autel, that way I can use it somewhat like a Snap On with the Component Tests. Also, having the 4 years with Mitchell1DIY, I have my Autel's browser bookmarked to open as Mitchell1DIY just in case I need anymore info. DIY Mechanic here.

Awesome tips brother 👌, Having the wiring diagram at your fingertips makes life easier. I think people would find this helpful, I'm gonna pin your comment. Thanks!

*Can the Modis handle immobilizer and controllers for a 2002 Town Country Limited?*

@Prolbuilds 11 күн бұрын

The Snap-on MODIS diagnostic tool can handle a wide range of diagnostic tasks, but its ability to manage immobilizers and controllers for a 2002 Chrysler Town & Country Limited depends on the specific version of the MODIS software and its coverage for that vehicle. The immobilizer system in the 2002 Chrysler Town & Country typically requires programming to pair new keys or reset the system. Earlier versions of MODIS may not support immobilizer key programming for this vehicle. More advanced or updated software versions might, but Chrysler's immobilizer systems often require specific proprietary tools (e.g., Chrysler DRB III or advanced aftermarket tools like Autel or Launch).

Very good comparison. I'm trying to decide between some different brands but one reviewer states that XTool is one of the only scan tools that can pull pin codes for key/immobilizer duplication. Any experience with trying to pull pin codes from the modules?

@Prolbuilds 4 ай бұрын

Yes, but with the ford factory scan tool, never with the Autel or Snap-on. I will check for you, but I'm pretty sure I saw an immobilizer section on there. Give me a couple of hours and I'll let you know.

Would you know if the Autel can figure out why my 2014 Toyota Camry electric power steering icon showing red is appearing? The car lost power steering and I can drive the car because it barely wants to turn. Do you think this scanner can help me let me know what the issue is to continue the next step? Please help

@Prolbuilds 2 ай бұрын

The scan tool will help you with codes and testing. But it's really only a tool to help aid a repair. If you have codes on the electric steering, it will read them. Before you buy the scan tool, check your fuses and relays. If the car was recently submerged in water, try disconnecting the battery and drying all the plugs and then plugging it back in. Hopefully, this helps you

Pls, has Autel (maxicom MK900) finally made it possible to search for the required parameter from the Life data list? Or you still need half an hour to select the right parameters from hundreds. And if you leave the settings page, then everything starts over again... Autel is surprising.

Also if you noticed, the Autel is faster in executing commands than the snap on.

I purchased the Autel MK808s and even paid for the additional update costing me $129.00. I connected this to a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon to check the Stop.Start system to see which battery was at fault. It only shows Battery Charging System. Next, I wanted to if the Autel would find the fault for Rear Locker and front Locker. I connected a friend Snap on Scanner and I couldn't believe how the Snap on picked the faults!!! My shop is small so I couldn't afford the Snap on. I also connected my other friends Icon T10 and doesn't do half what the Snap on can do. I may have to spend extra money for the Snap on Scanner!!!

@Prolbuilds 3 ай бұрын

I didn't run into the extra fee for the update, but it might be available to purchase. I don't believe Autel is a replacement solution to Snap-on. So far, I have heard nothing but good thing about Autel. But it doesn't surprise me if it wasn't able to see some features on different vehicles. For the price the mk808s is a great bang for the buck, but never a replacement.

Ex technician here Snap on is a waste of money and is just as good as other brands and you get absolutely shafted buying from a tool guy and the cost of a snap on scanner is ridiculous and u have to pay for updates. I had an Autel and it does the same thing as my buddy’s 16k snap on scanner

Thank you for sharing this awesome great video 👍 Can any of these scanners check for oil and fuel pressure ? 🤔

@Prolbuilds 2 ай бұрын

Yes, both of them can, but it depends on the year, make and model of the vehicle. Some manufacturers let you see more than others and also test more components. Majority of the time, fuel pressure and oil are included. I hope this helps Thanks for watching

So the takeaway from this video seems to be that mk808s has the same functions as the snapon unit. The snapon costs $4500 more-for that it can fit more live data values on a single page and has a scope feature, which wasn’t detailed in this video. Does this difference mean that the 10x more expensive snapon is actually 10x better than mk808s? I’ll “rush to conclusion” and say no. Price difference is not proportional to the extra features you’d get in the snapon.

@Prolbuilds 5 ай бұрын

Well, the cats out of the bag on this one. Snap-on prices have always been a lot more than the competition. Does that mean they sell better tools, I would say no. But somehow, they continue selling overpriced products. I believe people must find some type of value from using them, like I do. So yes, the mk808s is an amazing scan tool! And for the price, it might be unbeatable. This is the reason why I made this video. I wanted to help some of my viewers that have asked me about an affordable scan tool that would do functions testing. Basically, I wanted to help show how much value the mk808s really has. Thanks for watching and the comment!

If XTOOL wasn't taking the scantool industry by storm 2 years ago, autel probably would've left the MK808 & MX808 super basic. they saw XTOOL was making WAAAVES. so they HAD to compete & send a software upgrade out 😂 😂
