maxidiagelitemd802

Admittedly I’ve had it for half a day, but I’ve hooked up to 5 different OBDII vehicles and I’ve had no problems with communication Autel MaxiDiag Elite MD802 or sending commands. The menu structure and commands seem straightforward, and were easy to understand with a small amount of exploration. Interestingly, the Hyundai Accent I plugged into did not indicate the readiness status of the monitors (when using the Hyundai specific function), but by backing out and using the “generic OBDII” I was able to see the status of the monitors. The Hyundai specific menu did have options and live tests for ABS, Airbags and TCM. I was able to access them and run tests without a problem. It was a bare bones model Accent, so there weren’t other systems present to read (or fool with 🙂 . I was able to control many relays and read much data from many systems on a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix (loaded). I had similar experiences on 2 Subaru’s and an Acura RSX-type S.

I’m really glad I read the great review at myscantools.com/autel-ds708-2015-review/ before deciding to buy as it cleanly laid out the pros and cons of the tool, and really helped me make the decision to buy.

I’m a shop owner and consider this an excellent scanner. I have a Solus and was tired of the outrageous update cost. Also I have a Launch x431 diagun and am dissatisfied with its abilities and the menues are in broken English. The autel however is great. It uses windows ce. You maybe more comfortable with Android which is offered on the autel maxisys. One positive that others may not like is it is powerd throughout obd connector and has no innternal battery. So no charger or batteries to loose. My launch charging port broke first thing and had to rely on an aftermarket universal charger thàt also broke. The autel will perform Fords PATS as well as other manufactures security programing. It is bidirectional. Buy this unless you have an extra $7500 for a snapon verdict
