Glen - if i can order directly from you - can i used this unit both in Dubai (working now) and later to Philippines - is there any additional charges. - its is also free update?

[@ozzstars_cars]

@@nelsonparedes4847 the updates are all free as long as the tool has a subscription. The link I have listed is for a USA model, it does have a lot of European and Asian vehicles listed but I would suggest contacting Autel about that so your tool will have the correct wall charging plugs. If you can let me know how it worked out because the information may be helpful to other techs. Thanks

Hi, once you've registered the scanner by means of your Lap top will it work on its own built in Wi-Fi out side away from the house were your router is i.e. it doesn't have to rely on being connected that way it will plug and play where ever you are?

[@richardautenzio8117]

Good video! I have spent a lot of money on scanners and the worst experience I have had was unfortunately with an Autel scanner. It just stopped whilst underwarranty and the supplier and Autel made every attempt to avoid attending to it under warranty. I still have this new scanner which is useless. So I won't buy one of their products ever again. I have found many better companies to deal with that offer much better products. I only hope no one else has a similar experience with Autel as I did, because it was really bad.

[@ozzstars_cars]

What year did you buy the tool and which model scanner was it?

[@richardautenzio8117]

@@ozzstars_cars I purchased a Autolink AL539B in June 2020 on line from a company in Australia called scanner zone. I had used it very little as I had other tools but one day after about 5 months I went to use it and it would not turn on. I contacted the seller who was very difficult and would not give me an address to return to their warehouse in Australia. I contacted Autel and scanner zone to many times aver the next 6months and finally they gave me an address in China to send it under warranty to have it repaired. I believe that they just stalled me all along until the warranty was up. I continued after this time and got no sympathy or service from them. It cost only $129 AU but as a business man for 50 years in electronics I have never seen, heard or experienced anything like this type of service. I was never going to sent it to China from Australia as the freight cost would not be worth the effort and I did not trust them any way to attend to it.

The scanner will not be able to program Mercedes and BMW once the subscription runs out, the J2534 also can't be used to program without an updated subscription to Autel and the manufacturer.

The Maxisys Elite 2 is a good choice. amzn.to/3zVhXuy

[@spelunkerd]

I've been happy with the 906BT, but the annual price for software updates is astronomical, even though the BT can't do programming. Hard to justify for the amateur. I see there is now a growing market for individuals like Keith Defazio (New LevelAuto here on KZbin), who specialize in reflashing computers, basically an IT/programming expert for cars. Shops call him for consultative advice, and they don't have to keep an expert on hand at their own shop. The overhead cost for staying up to date with every manufacturer has to be really high, so even pro shops are subcontracting some of that. Looking at how fast this field is moving, I'm amazed guys like Eric O are able to keep up.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Yes Keith did the mobile diagnostic thing for a long time. He now works for Opus vehicle tech support in NC. Basically it comes down to subscription expense vs. money to be made. The 908SP is a good investment on return if doing programming at least a few times a year. The 906BT is a powerful tool for the money and I really like it. The cost for a subscription renewal can be steep. What kind of pricing have you got?

[@spelunkerd]

@@ozzstars_cars The tool cost about 1200 Canadian dollars, and subscription cost was ~800 Canadian dollars/year. I decided not to go for updates, when the tool stops working I'll get another, ha ha. Too bad they don't offer a diy option, like alldata and mitchell.

[@ozzstars_cars]

I don't believe I do. What would you be interested in?

[@StilettoSniper]

So I was told today by someone who uses Autel Maxisys MS-906BT in a shop where they do a lot of work on Toyotas that the ECU coding capabilities touted by Autel do not apply to Toyota. He said that ECU configuration for Toyotas needs to be done using Techstream and a supported J2534 interface, just like ECU programming. It's the first I heard of it, so I went to the Autel site and checked coverage for several fairly late model Toyotas against the Maxisys MS-906BT and the Elite. Interestingly, none of them included any ECU configuration in the list of functionality supported. Just wondering Glen, have you (or anyone else reading this) heard of this?

[@a.c.e.7568]

0:44 what is the difference between coding and programming? I thought they were the same. I saw your video about battery replacement in an Audi/Volkswagen using the Autel. I previously had the Ross-Tech VCDS when I had my VW, an incredible tool and it was a steal dollarwise. I could calibrate the speedometer, the number of turn signal flashes on a swipe, etc. Now is that coding or programming?

[@ozzstars_cars]

That is coding. Programming is a complete software flash or re-flash of a new or used module where applicable. Great question!

[@sivucit]

I am a programmer. Coding means in laymans term your resetting features that already exist, think like you go to livingroom and increase the speed ofthe fan from 1 to 3. 1,2 and 3 speed exist you are just reconfiguring it. Programming means you take old fan out and put a new fan now it has 5 speed. coding is to enable or disable existing feature, programming is to add or delete existing feature.

First time happening upon your video . In depth and informative as well . I like how you broke down the acronyms. No one at the shop can even tell me the difference in the autels we use . I’d like to get a level that compares to what we use but not to some of the extent it goes to …..

Glad it was helpful!

Hey glen, what's your thoughts on the autel mp 808 ? It has bi directional & coding abilities.

[@ozzstars_cars]

It's fine for DIY but the 906 has much more capability. 👍

[@mariocournoyer9555]

Hello what do you think of the MS906 pro? does it do the same job? THANKS.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Does even more, making a great tool even greater.

[@mariocournoyer9555]

Hello guys, I want to buy an altar to reprogram the ecu, there are so many model numbers, your help would be appreciated, I buy a Model at 2000.00 plus tax, I saw the model ms906 pro and there to other models with a J2534 box, I want to make a good choice, if there is another model which would be even better for programming new ecu tcm bcm ect. THANKS. I am from Canada Quebec.

Will it turn on the electric cooling fans on GM trucks that have that ability and change the temperature settings on such GM trucks ‘02-06ish that have fan clutches ?? I’ve seen sum1 install electric fans from newer vehicle to older vehicle and selected the electric fan “on/off” for the ECM to control the fans!!

[@ozzstars_cars]

It can control electric fans but don't think it would work without a programmed module.

Hey love your vids, I’m not sure if it’s possible but can I purchase a J2534 VCI box and code with my MS906bt? Thanks

[@ozzstars_cars]

The J box is not compatible with the MS906BT. The 906 can not be used for programming. Thanks for checking out the videos. -Glen

[@josh6577]

Man wish I knew earlier I would’ve bought the 908 instead🤦‍♂️ guess I’ll list it for sale😂

[@ozzstars_cars]

It beeps now and then. I wouldn't play music on it.

[@janedonaldson2446]

My internal storage on the Maxisys Elite shows around 2.6gb and another area shows 54gb? Not sure even after installing SD Card I am unable to download programming files to program modules.

[@ChristopherMalone-u1t]

[@ozzstars_cars]
