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?

I think he will enjoy it.

Sadly, that’s the same as most big dollar scanners I have the Zeus by snap on and I’m blocked behind pay subscriptions. I don’t update I can’t access the subscriptions. It’s all a pay game. These aren’t as expensive as most of the software is though you have to look at it in a long time of things is it worth it or should you go more and buy the big dog and pay more

Not even with the free first year subscription? With all the updates etc

@cardroid8615 the first year is included

Thank you for the great feedback about the Autel mk808s video.

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

Thank you for the great feedback

Happy birthday and I took have a dodge caravan. Let me know if you need with your smog and here is the drive cycle for your caravan kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mt-JqZd51b-0qac.htmlsi=RY0IZDuXZJCKU3fZ And here is a little trick to see if the monitors are ready without a scan tool kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZeCe5CmlsiyeZc.htmlsi=UasEoWqYgRqDKiVd Keep me posted on what you find and what was the issue.

So what ended up being the issue with your Chrysler van?

@@gottahavegoalsset The ECM/PCM🙄 so I ordered the part & now waiting for it.. thank for your concern & thank for the birthday wish it was Feb 17..

@@emmavasquez6263 Wow ECM's are pricey, and that's like a heart transplant. Did you order an aftermarket one and put it in yourself?

@@gottahavegoalsset yes I did order an aftermarket one & waiting for it.. I should have it by next Monday.. I made sure to give the information..

Thank you for the amazing feedback on the Autel mk808s video.

Congrats on your new tool and I hope it serves you well.

Yes

Some sensor yes but the ecm you will need to step it up to a bigger scan tool, I like this one as it includes 3 years of updates kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLqenNGFqsjIiXU.htmlsi=Dwfa2BZDDvmiS6hD

I only see the XTOOL D9S... Is it the same ?

Glad to help

I appreciate your feedback Sorry for the late reply, did you get this handled?

I appreciate your feedback Sorry for the late reply

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 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7F-o5WTq7_Hhn0.htmlsi=eZryKdi54IQq2kqC as it comes with 3 years of updates and is a better deal.

The Autel is good but if you watched the whole review there were moments of disappointment, look at this instead as it’s best I’ve tested and includes 3 years of updates kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7F-o5WTq7_Hhn0.htmlsi=yFRedTwCBvt0yLPn

Did purchase either of the scan tools? And if yes how is it?

Hi, I'm in the same boat between this and topdon ad900bt...

@GeoBot_Gaming look at these two unit currently kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7VmmKScutDbeJs.htmlsi=8B2QmjsDJRSqJ9ih kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7F-o5WTq7_Hhn0.htmlsi=U5rfHMI0uCLSWsgt

@@GeoBot_Gaming i have ordered launch on black Friday for 280£ and I would say is outperforms autel in my opinion + 2yrs free update in price .

So the bidirectional controls are the only function you would lose with you stop paying for support?

Yes, it’s sounds correct.

You are looking for a relearn? Why are you trying for reset? Did you clean it?

I think was one year, check out this one instead as it’s powered by Autel and includes 3 years plugs it’s wireless and priced better. I just release this video this week kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcyZi86n3J2saXk.htmlsi=mAlG0TxD1RsymvdD

I’m not sure I have never worked on a Peugeot. I would check this out for the cheapest option kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLOGf9J5mtrcf6s.htmlsi=Fs_nqjuW0aW4myzI Just verify it works for your vehicle. Good luck 🍀 and keep me posted.

It should still work after the updates but bi directional functions might be disabled. That’s why I have been recommending this instead kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7F-o5WTq7_Hhn0.htmlsi=cA3HqDII-sw3UlGK as it comes with three years and after 3 years it will still work but your won’t get any more updates which doesn’t affect the use of scan tool.

Yes, the throttle body is a pretty easy service function. I think you will like this unit even more kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7F-o5WTq7_Hhn0.htmlsi=ixvcJQnJ_VwTaPS9 As it includes 3 years of updates and if you don’t renew your unit will still work but you continue to release new updates. This is really big saving compared to Autel. Keep me posted on what you end up doing and to extra sure you can always even the vendor your vin number and ask for a list of supported features.

@@RANDOMFIX thank you for your prompt response. Will research this further.

Under $500 this best choice as it comes with three years of updates and it will still work if you don’t renew the service after the three years. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7F-o5WTq7_Hhn0.htmlsi=VBuqwYGotCY9H31J Enjoy

The car is a 2014 Ford explorer.

Permanent codes need to unlearned and self cleared by the vehicle. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrOTfdeUuLXelJ8.htmlsi=t_RNwivl7hsA5UQd

I got from Amazon. Why won’t Autel support your if buy from Amazon?

I would email the vendor your Vin before buying

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. They ripped me off by only giving 10 months of updates instead of the advertised 1 year. There are better tools like Launch which can do bcm and other modules. Changing Vin's without the J2534 pass through tool for ecm programming

I believe on the Autel you do, but on xtool you don’t, but you will not get any updates. Which again for me is not a big deal as brand new vehicle seldom need a repair that needs to done asap. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7F-o5WTq7_Hhn0.htmlsi=rgelutzUqun2fj7d You can also email the vendor and ask. If you find out any different from I stated please let me know. Thanks 🙏

@@RANDOMFIX yah I just went with with mucar v07 or whatever it's called. Really good price and functions do not get disabled if I don't have an active subscription. Now let's see how it works with my mini/Honda/Lincoln cars.

Good to he’s and enjoy your mucar v07.

So did you do it lol. I believe you should have been able to do it.

For 2018 and newer fca vehicles you need autoauth to access these systems or us a scan tool that supports the bypass cables

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.

yes, 1996 and newer

This function would be normally under the throttle relearn, as the accelerator pedal values are used to determine the throttle. I show it in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNSGntWk29qtnKM.htmlsi=rqvON8MDsONfZCPY but the autel unit should have it too.

I appreciate your feedback Sorry for the late reply,

Screen shots for sure but I don’t recall the screen recorder. I would show it in the video if it did have one but I don’t recall.

just hotspot your mobile phone and then you connect your scan tool to wifi signal that your phone creates. google "how to hotspot your phone" or youtube

This is one of the best scan tool I have tested and it came with 3 years of updates. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7F-o5WTq7_Hhn0.htmlsi=0edhHAn_OPXWDChh If you want Autel go with this as it’s powered by Autel but came with 2 years of updates. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7VmmKScutDbeJs.htmlsi=2KwwRDL-x3adavth Let me know which one you liked better and why after you view the videos. Thanks

The vehicle runs the evap it’s test itself. You can not force a evap run but I have heard that it is possible for Porsche but I have not tried it. The video description of this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNKUh616m5rHloE.htmlsi=idtJeLawVLqg4Y3K and find your make and I provide the exact steps you need to set your evap monitor. This scan tool can help diagnose an issue with the evap system. Good luck and happy holidays

Not for heavy equipment

Thank you for the feedback!

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.

Yeah that bothers me too. But I figure if I sell scanning services on Marketplace or something, I would only need one customer per year to cover it.

You need to contact Autel , they will be able to answer your question but a 4wd ECU should be no different to a 2wd ECU as it’s still an ECU regardless of.

@@richie674 It does not read the 4wd ecu on my 2006 tundra.

@@battlecore501 okay I believe from what I understand is Autel buy vehicles & reverse engineer the electronics I.e. extract information for their own research etc , to use on their scan tools & it could be the Tundra is not on their list maybe , TBH a lot of scan tools , even top models sometimes don’t read certain type of vehicles . Hope you find one for your Tundra 👋👍 While I think about it , it’s called a Hilux here in England as we have its sister pick up instead .

@richie674 I fixes thee issue that I needed the scanner for, so now I just have a cook scanner that I haven't found a need for yet! Lol

@@battlecore501 that’s good to hear mate , with vehicles ever getting more complex with electronics etc etc , you need a good scanner otherwise where do you start ? I’d be lost without mine as it’s my doctor ☺️🍻🙏🤝😀

Only if you fix the issue or the fault code was caused by remove the seat, etc… It will point in the right direction on what the issue could be.

I’m sure it can activate the evap component.

Yeah all of these vehicles are covered

Just do the battery method

I appreciate your feedback Sorry for the late reply

Most Fords do not require a scan tool to put the epb in service mode. Simply turn on the ignition, step on the brake and gas pedal then Hold down on the epb switch all simultaneously . While doing this turn the ignition off then back on. When the yellow brake light comes on the dash you're now in servuce mode.

I have not tried it on a bmw to know. Email the vendor your vin and ask for listed of support functions.

Ohk thank you

Yes. It has data logging.

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

What scanner would you recommend?

Which scanner would be better for live data?

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. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLyWhdGqsNecc6c.htmlsi=oL9cZpVKreXeBZ8D

It depends on the vehicle and currently I think there is better units that you should consider kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLyWhdGqsNecc6c.htmlsi=fJYcz48ZPLJYyVy2 But if you want Autel check out kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7VmmKScutDbeJs.htmlsi=6IJO2TqpFIGeBkDQ Just email the vendor your vin and ask for a list of supported features

I have not tried and it does change the odometer it maybe limited by the manufacturer of certain vehicle. So research a lot before buying.

No

After testing more scan tools using this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7F-o5WTq7_Hhn0.htmlsi=wbUCJG3KXMtblIVH It can adjust km on dodge but not on my Toyota. As I have the Toyota Prius but it works for older Camry vehicles.

Depending how new your car is this Autel mx808S is "Not" good I have the same unit I'm going to be sending it back for full refund pass if you have the chance.

blackbw2 • Renewal of the software.

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

@@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.

Renewal costs $129.00 with the first year free.

i appreciate your feedback !

yes, 1996 and newer

The ecu? This tools can not Re flash or program ecu but you can always check with manufacture by emailing them your vin.

@@RANDOMFIX I have a 2019 dodge charger I lost my key I was wondering can it make a new one for it

Of course it works for abs and rear electronic brake service

Currently it’s $479 with a 30 coupon.

under 400, link is the video description.

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?

Try asking the question next time

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

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

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.

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.

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

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