Hi when you say this tool has built in Wi-Fi is it the same as a Satnav device always connected or does it have to be in range of your Wi-Fi router and do all these scanners you test, all have built in Wi-Fi?

[@Benefits-ix9jy]

so in your opinion which one is better . Xtool Autel or Launch

[@RANDOMFIX]

@Benefits-ix9jy for the money I would go with Xtool as the 3 years of updates helps keep the cost down compared to 1 year. If you like Autel check Otofix as it’s an Autel but cheaper and comes with 2 years of updates. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4CZlnShis-qfsksi=n9a82vW6uQ6V0Yfi

[@pirategmunger]

I'm going to be ordering the MK808s-ts for the added BT DLC conn and TPMS capabilities. Looks like an amazing tool! I was questioning exactly how "bi-directional" capable they actually were, as some manufacturers of these lower price range scan tools claim they are bi-directional but when actually put to use in the field, I often found that they were missing critical functions and control. Looking forward to adding one to my arsenal 💪😁

[@terrydoberstein6742]

Thanks Answered most of my questions. Main question was can you still use the scanner even if you do not want to update to new model years (You said YES in the video). Is their a list of what makes/models this scanner covers?

[@RANDOMFIX]

All the makes and models since 1996. Covers 99.9 percent of the vehicles.

[@robalan57]

I have a BlueDriver. It shows around 12 possible causes for the engine light going on. Basically some type of exhaust leak, bad gas cap, sensor…. Does this testing unit do a better job of telling what is wrong? It would be nice if it tells me there is 1 or 2 things are wrong instead of 12.

[@RANDOMFIX]

Yes, you can do better with this unit as you can activate certain components to test it. I would clear the codes after writing everything down and then see which trouble codes come back. 12 problems is a lot and I normally see that many codes when a battery is bad or low.! You may also want to check this unit kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3yxoWWYe76WjKssi=eZryKdi54IQq2kqC as it comes with 3 years of updates and is a better deal.

[@Mark64]

Can this scanner install new modules? E.g., can it install a new ABS module in my 2010 Ford Escape Hybrid?

Does this scanner require software updates? Like if you didn’t update it would it stop some of the functions that you can use?

Yes, it’s sounds correct.

Does it show transmission temperature. I have an overflow trans and the range for draining the fluid is very narrow.

It should. Has a list of all the sensors. But it also depends on make and model. I would just use a cheap handheld temperature reader on the transmission.

[@jamesmichael8549]

Do you need to be online to used these kinda OBD Reader ? Do you need to have a wifi to used this ? Can you used this new from the box . ? What happens if you don't updates does this still work ? Is this capable of scanning Fuel Pressure test ? Is this capable of scanning compression test ?

Thats a big NO!!! I own this MX808 which I purchased in 2018 from a vendor so I could get support. I was told by Autel that this is not a bidirectional tool.

Not an expert but, I have yet to see any scanner that doesn't have a yearly subscription. But usually the scanners only need the subscription to update the device for newer models. So you don't really need to buy the subscription unless the car you are scanning is newer than whatever the latest model the device has.

You can still use the device but if you want access to new updates and bidirectional functions you need to pay around $125.

[@bygonebob]

@@RANDOMFIX You mean if we don't renew we can no longer access the bidirectional functions when we first bought it? Or, you meant just the new bidirectional features that may come with the new updates. Thanks.

[@battlecore501]

Renewal costs $129.00 with the first year free.

[@schifoso]

I tried the 2023 MX808S and the software for Honda has a lot to be desired. Graphing errors, PID data errors, features that they post as working but do not, etc. Bad software programming and quality control. That's what happens when you buy something produced in China. Autel support was also terrible. I returned it the unit. Better to buy from another vendor.

[@jparker1823]

From your experience, which brands do not take away bi-directional features if you let the subscription expire? Thanks.

[@RANDOMFIX]

This is one of the best scan tool I have tested and it came with 3 years of updates. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3yxoWWYe76WjKssi=0edhHAn_OPXWDChh If you want Autel go with this as it’s powered by Autel but came with 2 years of updates. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4CZlnShis-qfsksi=2KwwRDL-x3adavth Let me know which one you liked better and why after you view the videos. Thanks

[@gusf8451]

Did I understand you correctly, you said if we did not renew the service we will not be able to use the bidirectional functions? if yes how sure are you? thanks

[@RANDOMFIX]

That’s what I was told and on different unit I hear different things. I would email them and get in write if that is important to you. The Times I have had an Autel unit and I didn’t not renew my unit continued to operate but I just didn’t get any more updates. Let me know if need recommendations to a good substitute that use powered by Autel and I wireless for $320 and it includes two years of Autel updates.

[@gusf8451]

thanks for your quick reply, actually this one is being delivered as we speak, an yes that would be a deal breaker for me if I lose the bidirectional, two function I'm mainly concerned for is to be able to do a rodeo test on BAC system in my mercedes, also being able to read ATF temp if I needed to replace ATF @@RANDOMFIX , as far as recommendation , I think I know what you're gonna say , is it ottofix? I did look into that one too but the lite one is in the $300 range the one that I want is in the $600's , or is it something else you had in mind? I got this Autel on amazon lightning deal for $383 BTW.

[@RANDOMFIX]

@gusf8451 yeah the d1 lite from Otofix is good and I think it’s $320 currently, they include two years of service as well.

[@boppin_bennie]

Does this tool work on MB Sprinter 2002 - 2006 T1N models ?

[@RANDOMFIX]

yes, 1996 and newer

[@zoranvrzovski1692]

No ABS?

[@RANDOMFIX]

Of course it works for abs and rear electronic brake service

[@benardblessing1201]

Please Autel mk808s price

[@RANDOMFIX]

Currently it’s $479 with a 30 coupon.

[@rolandtan7928]

How much it cost

[@RANDOMFIX]

under 400, link is the video description.

[@aaronmikk-kirsme3047]

This scanner has a really bad major drawback. No search function in live data. Some cars have 1000 different parameters and you have to roll throug all of them to find the right parameter. And then if u want to erase a fault code and go back to live data, you have to start over the browsing/rolling to find the right parameters again. Crazy annoying and the reason this tool only is for home use, or as a backup unit in the workshop.

[@RANDOMFIX]

I can understand your frustration and it is annoying to scroll a long menu.

[@alvaro1768]

What scanner would you recommend?

[@Spikes-r4c]

Which scanner would be better for live data?

[@RANDOMFIX]

For sorting and find live data? I would say most are the same other the search function and 4 data field’s monitoring vs 8. If you are looking for something like this then the d8s is good. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIfJg6GvgNZredUsi=oL9cZpVKreXeBZ8D

[@bygonebob]

On the OBD2 side of the program it says ‘incomplete’ and on the OEM side it says ‘complete.’ Since the correct one is the former, then what is the point of having those OEM modules on there if they can’t give an accurate scan result? So basically, this is just an overpriced basic scanner with bi-directional capability. Good job Autel…I’ll look elsewhere.

[@RANDOMFIX]

i appreciate your feedback !

[@thomashvnmusic]

That OBD check engine never works on any cars.

[@RANDOMFIX]

Thanks for the feedback, obd chdck engine? What exactly are you referring to?

[@thomashvnmusic]

@@RANDOMFIX The check engine icon on the diagnostic tool that scans the ECU. It never seems to connect.

[@wackey3455]

I going to unsubscribe to this channel can’t answer a simple question

[@trevienseager1755]

Try asking the question next time

[@RANDOMFIX]

Lol, I was trying to figure out his question as well.

[@donod2]

@wackey3455 You should be able to connect the scanner to your phones hotspot as long as the phone allows hotspot connection.

[@pradeepb7203]

If you move your big fat fingers out of the way it will be a lot better

[@RANDOMFIX]

Yes, thank you for the not so kind feedback. I learned a long time ago that there are some people that will always complain. I’m not talking about of course. lol. Dude I get it, nothing is perfect including my big fat fingers. Didn’t I do a screen share on this video?

[@gary8866]

My 906 BT cost £1200 soon as update run out the software said corrupted that was the end of this scanner

[@RANDOMFIX]

I would contact support right away before the updates end and ask them to fix it.

[@MrDwaine]

You talk too fast

[@RANDOMFIX]

Thank you for the feedback
