I have the Autel. It's a great full-featured scanner, however when it is actually SCANNING over the OBD dongle it is frustratingly slow over the Bluetooth interface. Connecting the tablet directly to the dongle using a USB-C connector isn't much faster.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Agree. I think the software is probably not light compared to the resources it uses. Definitely a lot of room for optimization.

[@MindHunger]

@@DIYAutoworksNG It can take over a minute for the Autel to first connect using the Bluetooth dongle. Connecting the dongle to the tablet via USB-C gets that down to 45 seconds. I like the features but I'm looking for a scan tablet that's faster as that delay gets real annoying when doing multiple scans to narrow down a problem.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

You're spot on. If Autel can solve the slowness, it would be awesome.

Xtool makes a fantastic scanner However autel has just that little bit more of reliability!! 🇨🇦

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

I totally agree. Sometimes you get the feel that some xtool weren't extensively tested before being released. Though they try to make up with lightening fast customer support and bug fixes.

I have an Xtools D9 pro and regret buying it!!! Doesn't do a lot of tests and takes forever when it doesn't recognize a vehicle immediately. I liked the Launch 431 we had at work better. I'd love to try an Autel but it was out of my budget for now.

Thanks for chiming in! Curious, what car? Or was it all cars?

[@OgunjobiDavid]

I love your videos as they are always short and really informative. Want to ask, do you buy these scan tools or are they sent to you? I need to get some advanced scan tools also

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks! To your question; Both. I buy some, and get sent others as free review samples.
