**Autel Scan Tool MS906BT** amzn.to/2sgBbIp Thanks for stopping by the Ozzstar's Cars channel. -Glen (Ozz)

Thanks for the video, been going through the same agonizing search to find an advanced bi-directional scan tool and this really helped.

This is one of the best reviews of this scanner, very helpfull ,honest ,straight to the point. Great work.

Thanks for the descriptive demo. I'm sold.

Great video. I just made the purchase from my tool dealer right now. Can't wait to receive it. After watching your video I was sold on this product.

Thanks for the great video! I just purchased a much less expensive scan tool and found your evaluation of the one you have to be fascinating. Mine will be used for only a couple of vehicles as I'm a DIYer, but it's amazing what a better one like yours is capable of.

You are a fine Gentleman, rare to find these days, I really enjoyed your mentorship for my AUTEL MaxiSys MS906BT!! Thank you

Very descriptive demonstration. I like the printer feature as well with Bluetooth techno. With added virtual analytics to actually see what takes place is a plus. Appreciate the time. Hope you and family stay safe during the Pandemic.

Great job Glen with the explanation and a demonstration of seeing the data when hooked up to a car. And you're right that having a scanner that's bidirectional is the way to go if folks can afford that capability. Ah, I see that you changed your channel name and I'm sure you'll get more car enthusiasts when they do a search. Keep up the good work and have a SUPER GREAT weekend!

I have watched dozens of vids on this, NONE of them were as helpful as this one. this showed me sooo much useful info. the others missed the nuts and bolts details that I had been looking for.

Thanks, I'm also using 906bt but didn't know how to enjoy some of the features.

Thank you for this review... I just ordered one yesterday and it should be delivered some time tomorrow Your review helped me make my decision

Thanks for the video Glen. Like you I was down in the rabbit hole trying to work out what I needed/wanted. Bit the bullet and ordered one this arvo. I’ve settled on the unit and hopefully will do the trick. Hope you’re well - and love the data vs data comment - always a good one with my yank and Canadian mates. Cheers from Perth Western Australia.

Thanks buddy, I'm buying one and you really help me!

When I got ready to pull the trigger on a advanced scan tool I asked Eric what was best for the money. It was this very scanner. I've had a great time using it and haven't been disappointed. It is over a year old and I need an update, but for what I do I can use it without the update for now. I've not tried the printer option but I need to get that completed. I'm still learning things about this tool so I hung around for the entire video to see what I might have missed. See, I didn't know about the separate SD card option, cool. I liked your elevator music. Great video my friend.

Thanks for helping me make my first major scan tool purchase!

This is the final video that convinced me to go ahead on this model. I know that feeling of signing your life away. Mines on the way . Thanks for the excellent video

Great video. I love my ms906bt. I have had mine for a couple years but you still showed me some features I didn't know.

Thanks for the vid!

Great video Glen

Hey Glen I came across the same issue printing a report straight from the tool now I know what to do cheers 👍👍👍

Very good job with the video. Very informative and detailed. We are currently pursuing a scan tool like this and I think this might be the one we purchase. Thanks again

That standby elevator music is the boss!

Well done Fella - appreciate your time - v. interesting as we are looking at buying one of these units - Thumbs up from us here

Very informative, thank you for sharing. I will be ordering one!

Thanks, Great review! Going through the struggle now!

Great video really helped

I bought the same one in October then added the scope. I have used it to bleed the brakes. Also got my fuel trims where they should be. Also a few tests. Works well for me. Built two pressure transducer to use on scope.

I got that tool.Ive had it about 2 weeks now.Im not a bit disappointed.It was worth every penny. The quality is great!

Good review ,im a retired tech and you have a lot of professional knowledge,that’s good to see .

Great real-life review, thanks!

Many thanks for very helpful video. Mine arrived yesterday and is now 64g. Also wondered about would I need OBD1 tools. You answered that one. BUMMER! By the way I'm in the UK.

That was the best scanner video ive seen.. veryy informative!

I can't thank you enough for this video. I will be ordering one today.

thanks buddy, perfect review.

I only have two cars, and I don't repair cars for others. I bought an Autel MS309 @ Amazon for 20 bucks....and it does what I need it to do. Good video by you!

Informative video.

Really very helpful tool .Thanks.

That was so great. Thanks so much

Awesome video Glen. Very helpful I think for those guys out there looking for a tool this would be a good one👍

Thanks for the info. Great vid, I enjoyed watching it.

Thanks for the information, very interesting

Excellent, well made video. I learned a great deal here, and I am still learning as I lean more and more toward the MS906BT. One thing I would add is that if someone chooses to go with the MS906 instead of the MS906BT, there is another very important difference I discovered other than the wireless Bluetooth connectivity. The MS906 does not support ECU coding at all, whereas the MS906BT supports the same level of coding as its bigger brothers in the Maxisys lineup. (Note: don't confuse coding with programming). To me that is a very important difference in functionality. To me, the ability to perform coding plus the wireless BT capability makes the decision between the 906 and the 906BT for around a $200 price difference a slam-dunk no-brainer.

Great video 🤘 very helpful.

Your video gave me exactly what I needed to make an informed decision thanks. Mike from San Diego

Autel has the best storage cases for scan tools I have ever bought used they are just amazing

Thanks for going to the trouble of doing all this. good review

Thanks Glen. I have just bought an Autel Autolink AL519 OBD II/EOBD Code Reader for me. My local garage has most of the other expensive stuff

That dub tripped me out for a second

Nice job Glen I was thiniking about doing a video on mine as well. I sold my elite and im508 and Autel picked up and switched to new owners in a few min. I’d like to show the diff between all mine and value etc. Again nice job ... Jay

Thank you!

Thank you!!! I've been trying to figure out which scan tool to buy, it's so hard to compare the models! There are 50+ US scan tools made by Autel.

I was a assistant instructor at a small college teaching auto tech. When I got there they had a Snap on unit. It started to do wacky things and freeze. It was windows based and would freeze. We looked into a bunch of units and ended up before I relocated with 2 of the Autel units. Being andriod based made it easy for students to understand as it is much like your phone.

I learned a lot from this video. So difficult to choose between all the models made by Autel...Price was a major factor ;-) After hours of reflection I finally opted for the M906S model since it is available in a tool store close to my house. Thank you for all the explanations in the video. Your English is excellent since I understood all of your explanations...Thank you very much, from a french canadian!

Thank you so much for your information I am really appreciate it

Wonderfully thorough video thank you!

No OBD1 !! That sucks. It's a pain having good cars that outlived their obsolescence. Great video and content! Thank you

Very nice Glen! I'd love one but I get by for now with my VERY basic scanner and multimeter! I get the job done eventually 👍😂😂

Well sir ive studied long and hard to find an affordable scan tool .and i also took the plunge and just ordered an ms906bt should have it in a few days . these products get pretty good reviews and ofcourse autell says its a very capable tool im glad i found your channel so as you progress with yours im hoping to break in mine .maybe well pass notes! I plan on putting it through every pace i can well see what happens. Hopefully its a worthy investment

works great also will work with a laptop. It uses Hantek leads. Bought the amp clamps. They come with short bnc leads so bought 6' extension leads. Very easy to use and figure out how. Only thing is you need to know good pattern to compare on some tests.

Thank you for posting this video. You covered much of what I wanted to know. Too bad OBD isn't covered. I also have an Actron/Bosch scanner, so that'll have to do for now. I've seen someone attach a rope to the dongle and clip it to the vehicle keys so as not to leave it behind. I'm interested in all the features you find in this unit. Please keep it up.

Great review of the tool Glenn! I purchased the MS906BT back in May 2019. I've used the tool on my 2004 BMW 325ci (E46), 05 Porsche Boxster S (987), 2008 BMW 528xi (E60) & 2014 Volvo XC60. I've also used it on my daughter's 2015 Hyundai Accent and my son's 2015 Ford Fusion SE. The tool has been flawless with every car and has all the functionality a home mechanic could want or need! It does have the ability to code in some of the factory disabled features of the BMW's. I'm in the market for a used Porsche Panamera which requires that the PDK transmission service be performed every 60k miles. As part of this service a calibration of the PDK must be performed. The dealer charges about $1,200 for the transmission service with calibration. I did some research and found that my MS906BT has the calibration service under the "Porsche-> Diagnosis-> Transmission Module -> Special Functions". The cost of the service kit from ECS is $249. If I purchase the Panamera and perform this one service, the tool all but pays for itself...just with one service!! That's just one example. Mine has more than paid for itself with all the services I have performed on my vehicles. It is a phenomenal tool and has worked flawlessly since the day I got it. If your on the fence about the purchase of a good scan tool and you think they cost too much, do like I did and look at the jobs you CAN'T do at home and how much a shop would charge you for programming, calibrating or relearning procedures. A tool like the MS906BT is almost a must have for us home mechanics working on late model cars with all their modules.

It was really helpful as I'm about to get 1 thanking you always from kurdistan iraq.

Great video. Nice job

Thanks Informative!

Thanks KID. Good video.

Cornwell truck has them for 1600 bucks! It’s a Good deal so I purchased the same one you have can’t wait to use it

Good job Bud. Nice video.

Great video sir, I currently own the mk808bt which is a cheaper model and it can also do a lot for the price. I am fairly new to using professional scanners and still have a lot to learn from them. I am actually thinking about to step it up a little bit and maybe get this one, but I am not too excited about the pricy upgrade, after the one year for free. Lol

I was thinking If you add a cable to your bluetooth device, it will help you remember to not forget it in vehicles. Or at least your customer will see it and notify you if you do forget. kind of like the one that Launch x431 comes with. It's basically just a short connection between the bluetooth device and the OBD11 port which will turn it into a dongle. Great review very nice. Thanks for taking the time to review it in details.

Good Show

Thanks

Hey On your Scanner I use Industrial Velcro from Home Depot for the dong I just attach to the back so I don't loose the dumb thing. Great VIDEO by the way!! Thanks

Hi Glen,, thanks for the video I am debating between autell or launch, that video was very helpful.

Good job

Can't wait to use ours! Boost codes and ignition coil issues? No worries

They Should Reimburse you for your Tool. This Video will sell alot of these Units. Great Demonstration i will use your link to purchase.

I just purchased the MS906BT and just like you I agonized over which one. I'm am watching your video now by YT recommendation.

excellent thanks

Love the video. Can I adjust idle speed with this?

Excellent video! I’ve just started my own workshop and was looking for a cost friendly scan tool that can do just about everything. I’ve subscribed

nice video thanks

Same as mine, aside from the lack of the tire sensor tool. You got a WAY better price than I did, though! Mine was $1,600 back in '16. That stung a little ...😬

Hi handsome. Great channel and thanks for showing us your receipt. Thanks. Tell us what have you done with your tool and have you repaired the code and vehicle? Thanks.

There are so many choices out there now. All can do so many things they couldn't do a few years ago.

thank you so much!! this was so helpful. I'm in thw process of trying to find a good scanner, I have a few questions if I can email and talk to you. but thank you for the video.

Great video u don't get to many people that will help like that and I need to understand them better. My question l think I already know does this unit have troubleshooting section like Snap on units. Thanks

I will choose MS906 or DS808

ALWAYS Back up your "Scan" folder (first day after all updates...then as you feel the need to. Then, definitely back up right before that year of free updates expires.) to external SD Card via ES File Explorer, which is installed on tablet.

great video sir this will do my bentley gt suspension leg bleed i hope so i can change the legs

The holder for the Bluetooth dongle is the big black box sitting on the bench behind you with Autel written on it that you stick it all in when your finished

Thanks for the video. I decided to order the MaxiPRO MP900-TS. I hope it doesn't fail me. I need to scan a Buick w no codes and crank but no start situation. I'm at a loss to what the problem is. I replaced intake manifold, turbo bypass tube and install new valve cover gasket. It started once and died in a few seconds abd never started again. Fuel pressure checked ok. Other than that, i'm completely clueless. I'm not a professional and only work on my car and families

I am on the ropes about the autel and the 7111 innova

Hello Glen, Thanks for the review of the ms906bt. Did you buy the scan tool on the JB tools website? Thanks

You definitely are helping me select a bi-directional scanner. I have a 2005 C6 Corvette. I removed the LS2 with all that makes it function because It is now a a battery electric vehicle. However I want to maintain the usable functions of the C6 body control module. I am not in the business so I only need a bidirectional scanner for this vehicle. Any suggestion on a scanner where I can have a custom flash of this body control module?

Wise words, Glen. I never found a scan tool I don't hate, but the Autel I'm using now, the 906 BT, is the best so far. Dramatically better than the pro version of Autoenginuity. Expensive for a DIY, and only those who spend a lot of time in the shop will find a high level scan tool worthwhile. I knew about the $400/y Autel subscription fee, and the fact the battery is not technically replaceable. I've seen complaints online from guys who didn't renew the subscription, not sure what to make of that. I've had to type in the VIN for most of the vehicles I've worked on so far, which is a little annoying. Also the online forum is poorly attended so there's not much help there. Bidirectional control is much better than other versions, but this Autel version is not as good as more advanced models for programming. I find that to do quick jobs like erasing codes, a smaller scan tool is faster. For an entry level scan tool, people should get live data, but this level of bidirectional control is expensive and not necessary for most home mechanics.

I’m confused, why adapters, to charge you more kkkkkkkkk. Great review

Great videos sorry for being late but I'm wanting to upgrade my autel and the only reason I use my scanner for is a manually regen that's it,but I never new about bidirectional because now I'm having fan issues,I have a ford superduty 2013 f-450 cab/chassis 6.7 diesel all I need to find out is if the MS906BT has option to manual rrgen ?

I have the maxisys elite system as well as the launch x431 pros mini as well as the large Bosch ADS 625 and I use the Autel the most but your right 1 scan tool wont do it all there are some functions on the bosch on certin vehicles that work better on the autel and vise versa

Great review tanks for posting! I am looking for something beyond the $30 one way tool for something that gives bidirectional control and with more detail, while not wanting to drop $10k on a Snap-On full up system. This looks like it might fit the bill for me. The price is about right - if it saves me from going to the dealer even a few times it paid for itself. One question I have is does this thing by any chance have the wiring diagrams for the vehicles?
