With modern cars getting more and more sophisticated with technology it is necessary to own equipment that can help diagnose and repair automobiles. In this video we discuss the Autel MS908S Pro features and setting up the tool for use. Is buying a bigger scan tool needed? One of the unique features of the Autel Maxisys MS908SP with the J2534 is the ability of the scan tool to program and re-flash computer modules. The tool also offers coding and bi-directional control which helps diagnose car issues. Find out if the Autel Maxisys is the right choice for you. Thanks for stopping by the channel.

@@nelsonparedes4847 the updates are all free as long as the tool has a subscription. The link I have listed is for a USA model, it does have a lot of European and Asian vehicles listed but I would suggest contacting Autel about that so your tool will have the correct wall charging plugs. If you can let me know how it worked out because the information may be helpful to other techs. Thanks

Good video! I have spent a lot of money on scanners and the worst experience I have had was unfortunately with an Autel scanner. It just stopped whilst underwarranty and the supplier and Autel made every attempt to avoid attending to it under warranty. I still have this new scanner which is useless. So I won't buy one of their products ever again. I have found many better companies to deal with that offer much better products. I only hope no one else has a similar experience with Autel as I did, because it was really bad.

@@ozzstars_cars I purchased a Autolink AL539B in June 2020 on line from a company in Australia called scanner zone. I had used it very little as I had other tools but one day after about 5 months I went to use it and it would not turn on. I contacted the seller who was very difficult and would not give me an address to return to their warehouse in Australia. I contacted Autel and scanner zone to many times aver the next 6months and finally they gave me an address in China to send it under warranty to have it repaired. I believe that they just stalled me all along until the warranty was up. I continued after this time and got no sympathy or service from them. It cost only $129 AU but as a business man for 50 years in electronics I have never seen, heard or experienced anything like this type of service. I was never going to sent it to China from Australia as the freight cost would not be worth the effort and I did not trust them any way to attend to it.

CONGRATS! That thing is SWEEEET! Ha! I've had my 906TS since '16, and I never knew there were system updates. I knew about the car ones, but not the actual operating system. Probably why the thing is so buggy right now! Haven't got much use out of it this year. Was a nuts-n-bolts year. Once covid hit, everyone wanted brake jobs, ball joints, shocks, and hub bearings that they'd been putting off for months or years, lol. I've been drooling over the Ultra, but I'd better be saving up for a new engine or transfer case for the Silverado soon. Already 50% of it has failed at 103k miles, so I expect the other half to go within the next year. Can't win these days. Anyway, great review! Can tell you did your research.

I couldn't imagine having all that info at my fingertips on a scan tool, though! I'm just afraid of what the update costs would be on that. They want $700 for my 906TS - I'd imagine it's probably double on the Ultra. Gotta pay to play in this industry! HAHAHA!

So I was told today by someone who uses Autel Maxisys MS-906BT in a shop where they do a lot of work on Toyotas that the ECU coding capabilities touted by Autel do not apply to Toyota. He said that ECU configuration for Toyotas needs to be done using Techstream and a supported J2534 interface, just like ECU programming. It's the first I heard of it, so I went to the Autel site and checked coverage for several fairly late model Toyotas against the Maxisys MS-906BT and the Elite. Interestingly, none of them included any ECU configuration in the list of functionality supported. Just wondering Glen, have you (or anyone else reading this) heard of this?

The MS908SP vs 906BT... no contest. Buy the 906BT. It costs $1200 less to buy AND theMS908SP needs a Sub renewal every year to program. UH, that is $1200 the first year and $600 per year thereafter just for the privilege of programing. . Unless you have a lot of modules to program, even taking them to a DEALER will cost a LOT less if you only do a couple a year. An independent shop likely will cost a good deal less than the dealer to program. it depends on your workload but... weigh the cost difference!

Great video !!! Does the coding (not programming with J2534) function still run if the subscription has lapsed ? What is the sw version for Ferrari 2.22 or 2.23 ?

@ozzstars_cars 3 жыл бұрын

The latest version my MS906BT has for Ferrari is v2.40. Yes it can still code while out of subscription but won't have the latest software to do it.

@@ozzstars_cars Ok, thanks. Same software on the MS908SP ? By coding I mean to put an VIN number in a ABS computer for example so don't need any software, just the function running, is this possible without subscription ?And except hardware, do you know the differences between MK908P and MS908 ??? Crazy marketing...

Hi Glen, Will this tool clear crash data and change vin numbers on used modules ?

@ozzstars_cars 3 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure about clearing crash data black boxes. Some modules can be programmed using the J2534 and factory accessed software with a subscription. The scan tool by itself can only program BMW and MBenz. Hope that info helps Bruce Wayne. 😉

I've been happy with the 906BT, but the annual price for software updates is astronomical, even though the BT can't do programming. Hard to justify for the amateur. I see there is now a growing market for individuals like Keith Defazio (New LevelAuto here on KZfaq), who specialize in reflashing computers, basically an IT/programming expert for cars. Shops call him for consultative advice, and they don't have to keep an expert on hand at their own shop. The overhead cost for staying up to date with every manufacturer has to be really high, so even pro shops are subcontracting some of that. Looking at how fast this field is moving, I'm amazed guys like Eric O are able to keep up.

@ozzstars_cars 3 жыл бұрын

Yes Keith did the mobile diagnostic thing for a long time. He now works for Opus vehicle tech support in NC. Basically it comes down to subscription expense vs. money to be made. The 908SP is a good investment on return if doing programming at least a few times a year. The 906BT is a powerful tool for the money and I really like it. The cost for a subscription renewal can be steep. What kind of pricing have you got?

@spelunkerd 3 жыл бұрын

@@ozzstars_cars The tool cost about 1200 Canadian dollars, and subscription cost was ~800 Canadian dollars/year. I decided not to go for updates, when the tool stops working I'll get another, ha ha. Too bad they don't offer a diy option, like alldata and mitchell.

0:44 what is the difference between coding and programming? I thought they were the same. I saw your video about battery replacement in an Audi/Volkswagen using the Autel. I previously had the Ross-Tech VCDS when I had my VW, an incredible tool and it was a steal dollarwise. I could calibrate the speedometer, the number of turn signal flashes on a swipe, etc. Now is that coding or programming?

@ozzstars_cars Жыл бұрын

That is coding. Programming is a complete software flash or re-flash of a new or used module where applicable. Great question!

@sivucit Жыл бұрын

I am a programmer. Coding means in laymans term your resetting features that already exist, think like you go to livingroom and increase the speed ofthe fan from 1 to 3. 1,2 and 3 speed exist you are just reconfiguring it. Programming means you take old fan out and put a new fan now it has 5 speed. coding is to enable or disable existing feature, programming is to add or delete existing feature.
