The first video I’ve seen that actually shows how to use it!! I was already pretty sure I was going with one of the mid to higher range Autel models, but this helps make the decision easier.
Thanks for your time and knowledge!!
I've used one of these. The cheaper option imho being the non Bluetooth is a good deal because they got much cheaper when the bt model came out
i bought this for my friend 3 years ago who has 3 kids and the cars do go with it. So far it has worked out well for him as far as i know.
Man I am your new friend I need one too
Thanks for the review of the scan tool.
This is the tablet we use at Votech I love it so much and we do have access to snap on ones but I do enjoy this one it’s easy to use
Eric o of s.m, a, up in main has all the good diagnostic tools ,the one you got is very good,snap on is a bit expensive for what you get ,it leaves the door open for other company’s to offer better and cheaper scan tools ,lift your game snap on or you will be left behind, thanks for the video mate
Great review on the scanning tool ... good to see you recently at Clark’s workshop with Abomb79 and the gang ..🇬🇧🇬🇧
That was pretty damn good
I have it and it's great. I spent half of whst the other guys spent and it does everything if not more than the snapon
Hi there. How does it compare to the Matco Maximus 3.0? Thanks.
I was looking to get the 908 version which is the step above this one but honestly i think im leaning towards this one because it can do everything the 908 can with the only exception being the ecu programming (which i don't see myself having a need to do, ever). As far as i know ecu coding is probably the most your ever going to need a scanner to do and this tool does it. If anyone knows why the 908 is worth the extra money let me know. Thanks for the video.
As a highly certified technician I must say I wish I started Aultel. I started with a basic snap on scanner and upgraded every 3 years because it was cheaper than just buying the update. I have used both tools. Snap on is faster in my opinion and the oscilloscope on the snap on modis is also faster. That said, I use oscilloscope a hand full of times a year. Aultel is better priced, covers more vehicles for scans without an expensive upgrade that costs a thousand plus a year to keep up to date. Smh... I spent to much on the wrong tool
This is a great scanner. No doubt. But the Bosch scanner is $3k and comes with a fast processor and amazing customer support. It's also oem recognized which means Bosch will get specific updates from ford for example if needed. Its a lot more but most parts stores will finance on commercial accounts. Best move I ever made.
That’s awesome
Oh love your channel. You're entertaining.
Works great I use it on European and exotic. Only scanner I have that successfully reads Rolls Royce Lamborghini Ferrari and Bentley, some bidirectional functionality isn’t there for them but almost all the date necessary every time, lacks Ferrari 488 GTB and pre 2005 Lamborghini has trouble
Hello my thanks for sharing keep up the great work bless . all the time
I own that! Love it!!
Hi can you tell me who much they charge annually for software update?
I have had it for 2 years. Tried snap on before. Autel is clean and sweet. Only they want loads for the top end models. Im looking at TEXA now.
They all say they do everything. I have Autel/SO/ Texa…It really depends what you have.
@@David-mc8zy autel are turds. Lie on a grand scale and just dont care. Programs not finished they still upload into the tool. Thinking they are doing you a favour when you get using it. Then find you reach end of it without your job being completed but getting a device unable to communicate with ecm screen. Full of lies autel should be renamed. Awfel
Good Work
Thanks!
Ford does offer what they call "police dark mode" which disables the interior lights as well as the outside courtesy lamps in each side-view mirror. Presumably to provide extra security for an officer to maintain his or her night vision, and not be outlined by their own vehicle upon opening the doo
good job
These Autel's are great units...I have a 906CV ....does OBD automotive through Class 8 heavy diesel...only bummer is,it doesn't work with CAT offroad😔
We have one of these at our shop and I agree that you can do a ton with it, even the TPMS stuff. Our only complaint is that it's slow and navigating it can feel like you're stuck in a maze. I'm personally use to the snap-on scanner from my last shop and recently bought one. IMHO snap-on did a good job simplifying your vehicles options so they're easy to get to and saves time. I ended up paying twice what the Autel is going for though, so there's that.
YUP but you get what you pay for, like insanely good customer service and one on one help almost 24/7 365 days a year. It's much more than just buying a tool. My reps literally given me tools before to do a job, name 1 other tool makers who'll do that! Mac Tools won't..
@@dieseldabz7104 My Snap-on reps come around like it's my job to keep them in business. With the way business fluctuates at my shop, I can't always afford to buy from them on a weekly basis. The quality is there for sure, but I wait for promos or until I really need a tool before buying off the truck. Its unfortunate but understandable, the service you receive depends on how much/how often you spend with them.
Back to the scan tool. Keep in mind that you may have to pay for updates to be able to use it on newer cars and to use continue using many of its selling features. My Solus Legend is due for the latest update at $450+ or monthly subscription of about $75.
@@airs2k Snap-On updates scanners twice a year. You can either pay for each update or get a subscription that includes the updates and access to SureTrack, RealFix, etc. I bought my Solus Legend scanner 2 years ago on promotion for $2,400 and traded it back to them for $2,500 towards a Triton D-10 that includes a lab scope. So I definitely didn't lose money on my first scanner, and it was great, I just out grew it.
I was about to buy a snap on scanner, and then I came across the mk808bt. Said screw you to the expensive snap on scanner with crazy expensive constant updates, and purchased the autel. Extremely happy with my choice
Wait till you need that updated,GOOD LUCK
Do you know if this unit can reprogram turbo actuators like on a 6.7 Cummins?
Those updates contain vital information for sure track and intelligent diagnostics, two things that autel doesn’t even have.
You do know you will have to pay for updates with the Autel as well right? Also it does not do everything the Snap On scanners will do.
I’ve never used snap-on, for anything, and I’m totally happy 😊
What do you use Harbor Freight? Being a shop owner it's all about convenience snap-on comes to me. I don't have to make time and go to Harbor Freight. But don't get me wrong great place and I do stock up on things for the business.
I have the FCar scanner and it’s great. I haven’t found a vehicle in won’t read including Isuzu UD Hino Cat Cummins mercedes bmw etc
What model you have?
My Snap-On does those
Dark mode turns off the interior light when doors are open and disables the parking lights from flashing when you lock it. It does not have anything to do with taillights.
Have you ever done the complete ford brake bleed process //hope you have a gal. or 2 of fluid on hand... love the scanner....
I Use autel, snap on and Bosch kts daily, they all do stuff that each other doesn’t but the autel does way more than either the other 2 can do and is way faster.
Also doesn’t crash like the snap on does!
can the autel clear/reset transmission fluid change message on a 2014 captiva?
I use Jaltest, work for several type of diesel equipment, also used for some stationary engines. it has worked quite well for me. www.cojaliusa.com/products/jaltest-commercial-vehicles/
Factual comment.
A great independent shop has multiple flagship tools. They all do things the other won't. Autel seems to do more faster for way less money. It's the tool I would buy for myself.
My Zeus NEVER crashes
Cool video
I have the FCAR scanner and it’s the only scanner that I’ve ever seen work on diesels like UD / Hino Fuso
Ancel 3200… also work on those
awesome
so i am a lube tech and i do a lot of the newer cars that have the built in e brake onto the calipers was looking to see if you knew of a scanner that would have a live data feature, freeze frame and the abilty to command things that is at a dececnt price compared to the snap on scanners..
This tool is the entry level and very basic but good for beginners
The last shop I worked at bought one of these.... It ran circles around any Snap-On we had!! Much easier to use, faster, more cars supported, Bluetooth dongle connection, scope input adapter, J2534 programming,...
Buying this eliminated about 8 other tools we use to use! I WANT ONE!!!! I HIGHLY recommend this scan tool!
How long have you worked for this company? Your style of praising is very glaring. 40 year snap on using MECHANIC here, you are full of 4hit.
@@fredheaven3730 But he's not.. I as well have a Maxi sys Elite and it shits on the Zeus..
I bough the Autel 906 instead to save a couple hundred dollars. It is the same but is tethered to the car, no blue tooth. In hindsight the BT version would have been worth the extra. There are many times you want the tool with you under the car or hood so you can do bidirectional tests and be there to watch the results.
These are incredible scan tools. Probably better than Snap-On for euro. I believe the only difference between this one and their more expensive Elite model is the programming J box.
Get an OBD ll extension cable
Can it do transmission relearn?
We put a nice long piece of red tape on the scanner dongle, so it wouldn’t drive away. Not that it would ever happen in our shop. :/
🌈👹👺☠️
And look low and behold you already did a review on it
Hi Stephen I'm new to learn about all these car programming device and I'm following all yr videos, and I'm learning a lots from these videos, can u tell me from all these devices which one is the best one between Im608 and thinktool
Not bad 1300$ now i will buy one
Just bought one not too impressed pretty slow sometimes seems cool but over hyped it seems balance test and injectors cut out test seem so so. Kind of hard to navigate
Im tired of my Snap On Solus Edge myself😔been wanting an Autel for a while now💯😏
Contact them and tell them you'd like to be an affiliate and possibly sponsored by them at some point. Have them send you one to demo and shoot a TH-cam video. Once they see your hits tell them you'd like to do a second one. They will let you keep it. Thats how you do that.
@@mrjaybennett80 sounds like a plan👍
I'am Your Newest Subscriber Great Videos
From what I recall, the police mode made the car completely dark, with only headlights operating, and no brake lights. The headlights could be turned off by the switch and turned on by the switch, and the light bar and spot lights are separate, but this is on Crown Vics, Impalas, Tahoes back in the early 2000s. Probably by now they have all that from the factory, lights and sirens in the wiring harness.
For a p7b just for engine load tests and to check for canbuss failures what would you use
@@kylemartinez3008 Never worked on the newer interceptors. Honestly, Im just learned the newer electronic stuff. Hell, the 2004 Crown Vic I have will run fine without the ECU operating. Sure, gauges and CEL etc will go nuts but it will drive. So, not sure. I recently bought a Snap On Zeus, with the Guided Component Repair...because its a very good teaching tool for a ludite like me. To give you an idea, I have one project where I want to swap out the computerized LFX engine from a Camaro, and put a carbureted, no ECU crate in it. The biggest issue are the windows (which I may just go with crank windows lol) and gauge cluster. But yeah, sorry I wasnt able to really help. Im pretty sure that the newer stuff as far as diag computers can do these things (hoping? lol)
Hey man thanks for sharing the video been looking for a scan tool one that won't take my right Pinky LOL have you ever used this on a Dodge 03 with 5 9 Cummins
Get a SnapOn for the 2003 Ram
Great content man…. I have a shop and service a lot of BMWs for rental company, have had a lot of Brake jobs but after we do the work, the parking brake malfunction comes on. Would I be able to reset with this scanner. Also do suspension work on them and have to reset the rack and pinion, do you think it will work for this problems?
i really wants one
i love the autel 908 we have at the shop i work at
I guess it wasn't bought from your money. This thing is expensive.
@@serbibik9090 it is a fraction of the price of a Snapon scanner
Like the 906bt. What chip/tuner would you recommend for 2002 f250 7.3. I'm towing about 13,500 lb with trailer and Track hoe. Bone stock with 63000 miles on it.
Hey man thanks 4 this video.....do you know it the transmission adaptation on the Icarsoft CR Max cover Mercedes ISM ?I know that some Autel scanners do does that one does ?
I'm thinking of getting the MS906TS
That is good tool,what features are important if you use a scanner?
I need to borrow that lift you have with the garage
believe it or not my snap on guy ordered one for me lol
I need to upgrade mine. I have a Snap on Solus Edge that doesnt have that many functions like the Autel you just reviewed
@@vuhuynh702 nope
@@dieseldabz7104 why?
do you ever use a bypass oil filters
Dose this work for all make and models or only the ones you listed on the adapter .
Question does it work on diesel trucks adjuster buzz test
Here's a question... Does this need a satelite/gps uplink? Does it store all the date internally, or at some point if no longer supported etc, will there be nothing programming wise left to perform scans and what not. Im not keep on replacing tools often, or doing subscriptions and all that jazz. I just want a tool that can get inside the computer, change parameters if needed, and display a few graphs now and agina (ie voltage at injectors, and other components...)
I work on old cars well before ODB, but I do have a few cars that are more modern that need some computer assist. Thanks
quality review ,want to get 1 use for a copple of months and send to honduras centarl america will ip work over there eney knows
Yes
Injector valves ??
Cool story, I’ll keep my Snap-On solus.
A question, I see some when you select the type of car it is in color and some are black and white any idea?
Nvm 1200 plus . thanks
Steve, will this version isolate Injectors, command on etc?
I really like your video on the Autel Scan tool. I agree with you that they are really great tools, very user friendly. You should do a video on tips and tricks on the tool. I have the Autel Elite, I'm really trying to get the most out of it. I want to link it to a large monitor for my diagnostic cart, and do more printing on scan reports. I really don't know how. That why I think you should try that. Thanks.
Can you do odometer corrections?
So now if want to buy it how much is going to cost me
Do you think this scanner will be good to relearn , bleed booster break for Toyota Prius 2013?
Can this program the abs module on a 2003 dodge ram 1500 4.7v8?
By any chance did you can you change a airbag module and program with this scanner?
Can you program your cars tcm?
How much we have to pay every years for updates. This system
I wonder if it can reprogram the Tcm on a later model gm truck or van after replacing the transmission. It has to be reflashed or reset after replacing a 6l80.
I don’t own it, but you need an autel that comes with a j2534 module because you have to flash through the acdelco tools website. This BT960 won’t do it. If you want to flash most modules you need a pc and a j2534 tool to do it.
I have a 2000 dodge 5.9L 3/4 ton. Majority of techs have no clue how to troubleshoot digital. All they know how to do is replace parts until it's fixed. The worse ones are the mfg shops. They only want to work on the new ones, because those failures normally don't exist. Mostly parts changers that is all.
Does this have bi-directional controls, and how much are the updates.?
One question can I use snap on machine to tune cars & trucks with my lap top and the program in my computer?
Love my autel 906. I hated that bt version . prefer the call and love the $499 yearly subscriptions if you get it straight from autel. Dont bother with snap on or matco
Ya ok
If you get the scanner from MAC and keep updating it every year the scan tool keeps warranty goin as long as you don’t forget to update it
Talk to a MAC dealer in your area
which one can i use to get cam offset reading?
Hey Stephen I appreciate the videos, will this do a buzz test on a 6.0/7.3 powerstrokes? Thanks.
You can send your VIN number to auteldirect@outlook.com to check compatibility. they will reply you within 24 hours.
Did you ever find out if it will do a buzz test?
@@jasongreene414 I ended up with a mk908 and ya it will as long as you don’t have a tuner or programmer married to it, the wireless feature is a bit slow when doing a power balance test but connecting with the cable speeds things up.
Does it all you to read cylinder contribution rate test and buzz test and all you to reprogram new injector into car ecm
So this thing should be able to program immobilizers, sweet.
Depends. Friend has an autel and it wasn't able to do keys on a 2018 f150
@@x_x_w_ I ended up getting 2 of them. The IM series is locksmith grade tool, whereas the MS is more of a mechanics tool.

Will this work on a 2014 ,2020 gm cars
Always has to be one of those "They dont want you to know about this"! B.S.
Are you able to program keys
Thanks stephen !!!
Now do you know of this tool is good on SRS airbag reset ( when after car crash you need turn off airbag check sign ?) ? Thanks
An airbag module can not be reset after any deployment, you need to replace any deployed items plus the airbag module. Airbag modules are onetime use items.
Yup, after you replace parts. You still need to turn light off.. This does it.
Police mode- sometimes you want to roll into a scene with the headlights out, or sit and watch something. It keeps the dash lights from going to daytime brightness when the lights are shut off
Jeff how ironic
But Stephen, do you buy your scan tools or are they given to you?
FREE AND PAID TO PROMOTE THIS COMPANY
Is their any place let you test before u buy like matco and snap on does?
Hahahah, no.
I would think snap-on would love to have people see this. I'd rather stick with my snap-on verus because it has a 4-channel oscilloscope. Which can be used to test things like, Cam and crank sensors, fuel injectors, ignition coils, and many other sensors that require a minimum of two channels for proper testing and analysis. Also snap-on has other adapters you can get like a primary and secondary ignition pickup leads, an amp clamp, pressure and vacuum transducers, also the amount of waveforms that can be brought up at the same time that No other scanner can do. Also do your homework on how often the scanner has to be updated, because most cars that are new usually go back to the dealer to be fixed, due to warranties. There are diagnosticians out there that do own the high-end snap-on scanners and can diagnosed any problem with your car for probably about $100.00, like myself
Keep justifying your purchase
My Verus Pro helped me confirm that my PCM needed to be replaced. I used the Oscilloscope and back probed the signal wire coming from the Bank (2) Cam Shaft Sensor. The DTC indicated that the PCM could not detect the Sensor Signal. I saw a normal sign wave signal. This confirmed that the P0345 Code was valid. I installed a new PCM and the Lincoln Mark LT runs great know.
