The other benefit of a choosing the right scan tool is the ability to program modules. Today's cars are getting more and more sophisticated and we need computers to fix computers. In this video Ozzstar does a full review on the Autel Maxisys MS906BT. Find out in if it's the right choice for you. Thanks for stopping by the channel.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    @spelunkerd 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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.

    • @ozzstars_cars
      @ozzstars_cars  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I have experienced scan tools that have lied. Without having a back up would have put me right down the rabbit hole! So far I like this tool a lot. I fact it saved my ass on an '18 GM.

    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

    • @polymetric2614
      @polymetric2614 ปีที่แล้ว

      my biggest complaint with the 808 is that in wireless mode the live data speed is significantly degraded. it makes live data in wireless mode barely usable, and live data is pretty much the main thing you'd want to use wireless mode with anyway. so i'd only barely even consider it a wireless tool

    Anyone thinking about this one - I've been watching amazon for the past week because of the $255 off the $1269 price. Just couldn't pull the trigger so I was leaning toward the MP808K at 20% off. Anyway, yesterday I pulled up the 906BT page and it said "lightning deal" and the price was reduced to $1078 and still with the coupon for $255 off. So I bought it for a total of $880 with tax included. You also get the 5% back on your amazon store card so that's another $40 which brings the total down to $840. I don't know what triggers the lightning deal. Maybe it's just visiting the page several times a day and some algorithm brings it up. And don't know if it's one particular seller - mine was from Autel Choice - but I doubt it cause they all seem to control the price pretty well and all from China. Anyway, looking forward to mine. However, not looking forward to explaining to the wife.

    I don’t have this tool. But I do have a 2000 BMW 323i with both the 16 pin OBD port and a 20 pin port under the hood. I have Maxidas D708 looking to upgrade it but that’s not the point I’m making. When I scan my car though the BMW app it tells me if there is a 20 pin port to us the 20 pin and not the 16 pin. You can still us the 16 pin if you want but there is a catch. On my BMW with both 16 and 20 pin ports. Using the 16 pin OBD port turns your fancy diagnostic tool into a code reader. And using the 20 pin port gives you access to all the modules the vehicle has onboard. So that is why the tool has the extra connectors and that is what they are used for.

      There are more out there then just BMW. Some makes just like the BMW still used there proprietary ports after 96 but still put a 16 pin port under the dash to read basic codes to be in compliance with the standard or law. What ever it is. For example take my 2000 E46 323i and compare it to my cousins 05 E46 330i. Same generation of car. Same body style same series but his does not have a 20 pin port on it at all. I get all the modules and information from the 16 pin OBD. So it just really depends on the manufactures date on some makes.
