Thank you for this video I just ordered this on Amazon it went on sale today. There are some functions that like you said you're not going to have but keeping it under $1,000 and buying a great quality unit that can test your car from the inside out I don't think you can go wrong with this unit for a shade tree mechanic like myself. Thank you again.

Unless you know how to troubleshoot digital electronics that machine won't do you much good. Most of the digital problems are the connectors on the computer. Usually heat up the connectors. Wiggle a little bit then push on the connectors. That will save you a lot of BS.

Actually mike, you have the MaxiPRO MP808S-TS, I have the MaxiCOM MK808TS and it’s very similar. Both models actually support Autel’s newest MaxiBAS battery testing equipment like the BT506 and the MaxiVideo MV108 inspection camera!

I'm still trying to figure out who sent me an MS906 a few years ago. It's surely been a life-saver in the garage for our fleet (Fords, BMW, Subaru etc) and while I've got some of the smaller units like CARly, this takes the cake for coding, ABS bleeding as you said. Just used it last night for the brake maintenance mode on my wife's Outback!

The problem with the bluetooth models is they have bluetooth lag. So they do run slower compared to their corded cousins. Also you say this is the MK version but in your title you showed it as the MP version. Cheers...

It’s getting to the stage, that manufacturers sell the scan tool relatively cheap, and make their profit with the limited software updates. The blue tooth feature is great!! Mike : will you purchase the 38 pin adaptor, being a Mercedes “Fanboi”? You may be able to purchased a screen protector for the Autel unit. Love your work mate, very enjoyable, and when you and Randy get out, start randomly talking about stuff….in this case “Turkey necks” … just a couple of blokes having a laugh!!! Funny 😂🤣😆 -Have a great day mate, all the best from Australia 🇦🇺

At least this one didn't burst into flames! Love your intro. Looking for a scan tool that can read modules and clear error codes on 2012-15 Chevrolet Volts. Would be nice to find one that does not use pirated software or requires subscription, but when you need one out in the boonies you need one. Maybe I'm dreaming? I'm not a certified tech and don't do it for a living, respect those who do it everyday.
@jcsmith95189 ай бұрын
Why are most of these scanner test reviews being demoed on BMWs and Mercedes and not US MADE vehicles? How about some older models also like 2000 up, as so many popular used vehicles are being maintained today due to the economy. Thanks for your reviews and vids. Great job.

Cool, an S-Type. The reader is working as I expected it. But in order to make the reader really shine Autel should send you a newer simpler car with the device. A Kia or a Fiesta or a nice Saab, just a suggestion 😁😁

thats because they have to pay manufacturers for the new information. the scanner will work with out updates to the date it's updated to (so if your updates stop at the model year 2022, that is what it will work on 22 and older back to 1996). Also you can skip years and unlike snapon autel will NOT back charge you for years you skip.

I like the video and what youre doing on your side of things, but as for this company...$900 is steep for this reader when most readers in the $300-$400 range are slimmer, lighter, faster, and do the same things. Most of these readers now all have the same UI/Software installed too. Its a matter of paying for the name, which is sad. Those of us working on cars in shops don't even buy these high dollar scanners much anymore from my recent experiences. Hell, my $400 reader I can even order parts directly from the manufacturer off the reader itself.. To each their own though.

Yeah just like the other ones will give you a code, but that won't be what is wrong. Most of the time it is a connection in the computer. Heat up the connectors and and push in on the connectors. restart the engine, and usually that's the problem. Connectors are usually the problem. Don't take it to a dealer if the warranty is out. The techs have no clue how to fix those. They aren't taught how to troubleshoot digital electronics. What they will do is start replacing parts, and charge you even if it isn't fixed. If the warranty is out don't take it to a dealer. The techs don't know how to troubleshoot digital electronics. All they know how to do is replace parts.
