I was looking to get the 908 version which is the step above this one but honestly i think im leaning towards this one because it can do everything the 908 can with the only exception being the ecu programming (which i don't see myself having a need to do, ever). As far as i know ecu coding is probably the most your ever going to need a scanner to do and this tool does it. If anyone knows why the 908 is worth the extra money let me know. Thanks for the video.

[@perjian1697]

This is a great scanner. No doubt. But the Bosch scanner is $3k and comes with a fast processor and amazing customer support. It's also oem recognized which means Bosch will get specific updates from ford for example if needed. Its a lot more but most parts stores will finance on commercial accounts. Best move I ever made.

Ford does offer what they call "police dark mode" which disables the interior lights as well as the outside courtesy lamps in each side-view mirror. Presumably to provide extra security for an officer to maintain his or her night vision, and not be outlined by their own vehicle upon opening the doo

[@garygriffin2119]

[@Saabspeedmaniac2k6]

As a highly certified technician I must say I wish I started Aultel. I started with a basic snap on scanner and upgraded every 3 years because it was cheaper than just buying the update. I have used both tools. Snap on is faster in my opinion and the oscilloscope on the snap on modis is also faster. That said, I use oscilloscope a hand full of times a year. Aultel is better priced, covers more vehicles for scans without an expensive upgrade that costs a thousand plus a year to keep up to date. Smh... I spent to much on the wrong tool

[@manuelfalcon334]

Great content man…. I have a shop and service a lot of BMWs for rental company, have had a lot of Brake jobs but after we do the work, the parking brake malfunction comes on. Would I be able to reset with this scanner. Also do suspension work on them and have to reset the rack and pinion, do you think it will work for this problems?

[@raulr0813]

We have one of these at our shop and I agree that you can do a ton with it, even the TPMS stuff. Our only complaint is that it's slow and navigating it can feel like you're stuck in a maze. I'm personally use to the snap-on scanner from my last shop and recently bought one. IMHO snap-on did a good job simplifying your vehicles options so they're easy to get to and saves time. I ended up paying twice what the Autel is going for though, so there's that.

[@dieseldabz7104]

YUP but you get what you pay for, like insanely good customer service and one on one help almost 24/7 365 days a year. It's much more than just buying a tool. My reps literally given me tools before to do a job, name 1 other tool makers who'll do that! Mac Tools won't..

[@raulr0813]

@@dieseldabz7104 My Snap-on reps come around like it's my job to keep them in business. With the way business fluctuates at my shop, I can't always afford to buy from them on a weekly basis. The quality is there for sure, but I wait for promos or until I really need a tool before buying off the truck. Its unfortunate but understandable, the service you receive depends on how much/how often you spend with them. Back to the scan tool. Keep in mind that you may have to pay for updates to be able to use it on newer cars and to use continue using many of its selling features. My Solus Legend is due for the latest update at $450+ or monthly subscription of about $75.

[@raulr0813]

@@airs2k Snap-On updates scanners twice a year. You can either pay for each update or get a subscription that includes the updates and access to SureTrack, RealFix, etc. I bought my Solus Legend scanner 2 years ago on promotion for $2,400 and traded it back to them for $2,500 towards a Triton D-10 that includes a lab scope. So I definitely didn't lose money on my first scanner, and it was great, I just out grew it.

[@Nathangies]

Just bought one not too impressed pretty slow sometimes seems cool but over hyped it seems balance test and injectors cut out test seem so so. Kind of hard to navigate

[@RipRoaringGarage]

Here's a question... Does this need a satelite/gps uplink? Does it store all the date internally, or at some point if no longer supported etc, will there be nothing programming wise left to perform scans and what not. Im not keep on replacing tools often, or doing subscriptions and all that jazz. I just want a tool that can get inside the computer, change parameters if needed, and display a few graphs now and agina (ie voltage at injectors, and other components...) I work on old cars well before ODB, but I do have a few cars that are more modern that need some computer assist. Thanks

[@bartscave]

I bough the Autel 906 instead to save a couple hundred dollars. It is the same but is tethered to the car, no blue tooth. In hindsight the BT version would have been worth the extra. There are many times you want the tool with you under the car or hood so you can do bidirectional tests and be there to watch the results. These are incredible scan tools. Probably better than Snap-On for euro. I believe the only difference between this one and their more expensive Elite model is the programming J box.

And with my last Autel, then Foxwell, I couldn't even use them until I registered them and established an account, then did a update (for the brand new product). One of them provided me with a free gift- a virus in the update that my A/V fortunately detected. Just odd that you cant use your new product until you provide your personal data to a Chinese company and then must download Chinese software to your com then transfer to the device. Cant go direct.
