The difference that stands out immediately is the autel has the flagship j-box included. This thing seems to have some kind of basic transmitter instead. The autel box retails for about $1000 on it's own. The tablet isn't especially important. Features are nice on some tablets, but the box is the real meat of the tool.

I am curious. Why would one need to update it and pay the hefty update subscription? My car and it's codes won't change, this year, next year, or any year after that. Also, as a programmer myself, I doubt that ANY car mechanic do any programming at all on any cars. Changing some settings/configurations yes, absolutely, programming, highly doubtful. It seems like one of those terms mechanics use to make what they do sound more complicated/difficult than it really is in order to convince the customer that they definitely need a professional mechanic to do the work. I have configured a couple of ABS modules myself and it is not difficult. Just a matter of changing a couple of setting to match the car's specs, that's all.

@mrsubaru1387 How does the OTOFIX compare to the TOPDON units you recently spoke about for the DIYer? Thoughts on what’s the better buy over the course time and keeping it updated?
@MrSubaru1387 Жыл бұрын
The Phoenix Elite list price is $1800. The OTOFIX is $1000, but there’s a 15% off deal atm. They both do basically the same thing. The Topdon has topology, the OTOFIX doesn’t. As far as the bidirectional controls and data pids, I think they offer the same functionality.
@garrettlynch4663 Жыл бұрын
Topdon uses the competing Launch software platform (the core of it is Launch, similar to Thinkcar) and it’s a lot like Android versus Apple. Some people prefer the Launch-style software versus Autel. Personally, there’s no comparison and I’d choose Autel/Otofix. Since both of these models are considered “overseas/global” models versus the US Autel (software is slightly different), Autel / Otofix does a much better job of translating. Topdon for me had some very rough translation issues on certain tests. Topdon, however, would be my pick out if the bunch if you like the Launch software.

Could be a cheaper processor but very well might just use the same boards from the autel since it doesn’t make sense to make different ones. Just a lower profit margins. If you think about it, if you can sell more products with a slightly lower profit margin to more people, you will still make more money. Most professionals already have a scan tool and they really don’t need another one. They’re probably looking at capitalize on the DIY market where you’re not willing to invest $1000+ on a scan tool but maybe 500.
