Alternators are no longer dumb units, they sense how much power the car is using and vary the amount of charge they provide the BMS needs to be told when a new battery is installed otherwise it takes the previous battery as being its baseline. So if that old battery is only at 60% of original strength the alternator won't charge a new battery to its 100% strength but to what it did before. (At least that's how it was explained to me)
This is simply the best diagnostic tool I have ever owned. It has done everything I have ever needed. Well worth the money!
to reset you TPMS
1. Start engine.
2. Hold turn signal lever in the up or down position until TPMS telltale and RESET are displayed.
3. Press button at end of turn signal lever.
4. Press and hold button at end of turn signal lever until a check appears after RESET.
5. Vehicle must be driven to complete relearn.
That's absolutely impossible... We all know bmw don't fit indicator stalks to their cars
Cheers bud
I got it here:
www.aliexpress.com/item/32908655065.html
the system docent have sensors it uses the ABS system to monitor. you need to check the tyre pressures with a gauge then reset the light (calibrate) the system through the stalk menus. its easy as per handbook.
TheMarshall85 plenty videos on here showing how to clear it too
Useful for those that don't know..
Yep, same as my E60. Get the tyre pressures set, then tell it to calibrate to the rotational speeds of the wheels. Only with iDrive, it's quite easy!
same as when I got my e91, didn't realise you had to press the calibrate button for a second, release then hold again for another 5 seconds
My BMW F30 definitely does have sensors. I had 4 new TPMS sensors fitted, one to each tyre as the TPMS light was showing, transpires the previous owner was a right cheapskate and had cheap new tyres fitted but WITHOUT TPMS sensors, literally just a rubber valve when TPMS sensors usually have metal ones which is what I had fitted. The TPMS light kept flashing and no amount of resetting the system via iDrive would fix it. Of course it made sense it wouldn't reset.... the system was trying to check tyre pressure by communicating with the sensors in each tyre - except none of the tyres had sensors in!
This video has only scratched the surface of what this tool is capable of. Outstanding value for money and a superb piece of quality equipment. Although this tool comes in a few different specs and the MP808 (with bi-directional control) is worth the extra. Look forward to more videos of you using this!
Finally a great review. Wanted to purchase an AUTEL MK808 and wanted to know exactly what is does. Excellent job reviewing it! Let me go get me one!
finally a british version!! very well explained and i really appreciate the time you've spent to go through it, i've been looking at these for a while as i have left the motor trade and cannot rely on my works scanner any more and youve sealed the deal for me. Thanks again, great video
Seems like an amazing bit of kit - cheers for sharing!
For competent DIYers such as ourselves 😂 this does look like a really great scan tool.
Very annoying on some modern cars that you cant just swap a battery but you need a scan tool to program the new one.....the beauty of older cars I guess.
Handy for other stuff though like the brake bleed to activate the ABS module for complete bleeding.
Live data looks very good too and the plain english diagnostic info.
Nice video mate 👍
It's been 12 years since I left the trade, in that time diagnostic equipment has got so much better and cheaper, certain tools seem to have got cheaper too 🤔
@truckatadders. Agree, and even more so, 3 years after your comment. Just got to be careful where you buy it !! Just spotted this.. Google > " Bavarian Dominator - Review Centre"
On those older BMW:s the TPMS system works with ABS sensors. So there isn't pressure sensors in tires, but the TPMS system checks for speed difference between every tire. If one wheel is spinning slower than others, that tire pressure light comes on to the dash.
That's cool at least you dont have to replace it every 5 years
If you are getting random error messages and suspect the battery may be on the way out, then changing the battery is job number 1. Voltage dips due to transient loads (headlamps, blower, screen heater etc) can generate spurious errors that aren't genuine faults. EGR is definitely worth a clean at least.
Zadster this happened on my 1 series, kept getting o2 sensor response slow, but I knew the battery was 12 years old, voltage read low so swapped it and no more warning lights!
Thanks for take time to showing how to use a Autel scan.
James, as Kyle has noted below, I don't think you have a fault with the TPMS, just that one of the tyres is probably under inflated or someone didn't reset the system after putting air in. You can reset the system by looking at the instructions in the manual, if you don't have a manual I can photocopy the page from mine and send it to you. Regarding, the battery its just because you have Efficient Dynamics and the car charges the battery via the braking system and when you are coasting etc.. To programme the battery to the car is just to let the system know what amperage etc., the battery is. If you replace the battery with one of the same amp rating you don't need to reprogramme it.
what a perfect time to hop onto youtube, just timed for an upload! :P
I am very sceptical on where to buy this tool from. The link you have provided is a trust worthy & genuine tool
I always get tool envy watching your videos. Thanks for the content mate 👍
Autel is real good about putting their scanners in a nice blow molded case, even my MaxiCheck Pro came in one.
James have a look at LM Auto repairs videos, he’s one of the best I’ve seen on TH-cam, he shows the whole process steps on tracing the issues with control modules and CAN fault finding sometimes right down to component level.
I'm glad that you showed a view of a DTC/Fault codes and what information it will provide; possible problems and solutions!
Thank you for your product review!
Wow that’s an awesome device, very useful!!.
The MaxiPro MP808 is the best version to get as it covers all those items you have on the screen that dont work! Great tool and a must for the Home mechanic. Get Autel to send you the pro version of this unit!
Great video on car scanning tool
Great scanner iv had mine for 2 years no issues and easy to use for many vehicles! Good luck with the Bmw :)
Ca you gime us some more info do you use the same tool can it program key fobs on european cars, can it code a diesel injectornto the ecu for example if you are changing a injector ?
@@georgigeorgiev1300 yes iv used it on several different vehicles for coding injectors and worked great only certain key programming can be done with it as it is a lower spec tool in there range
@@sox292 thank you
Will it bleed abs
Yea, great tool. Just be wary, and only purchase from authorised sellers. Unfortunately some don't!!
Google "Bavarian Dominator - Review Centre"
TPMS just check your tyres pressure and that will fix that light and that is a great scanner for the price . I used a Foxwell NT650 with life time updates
Don't go abusing ya tool in the shed......you'll go blind!!
Great vid. did you have to do anything in particular to get access to the service manual option within the trouble codes ? - on mine this option is greyed out and is one of the reasons why i bought it :(
Nice scan tool James
Great Video! What Camera are you using? Its very clear
The coding for a new battery resets the charging profile for the particular battery fitted. If you don't reset it when a new battery is fitted you run the risk of overcharging the new battery (when my last battery died, the alternator was putting a phenomenal amount of current into it to try and maintain the charge). Oh, for the days when cars were simple!
You mean u are suppose to register the battery using the Autel tool.
Looks like a good little tool
Thanks,Nice video,Autel Mk808 has the nice features TPMS relearn,Launch X431 Diagun IV has the full bidirectional capabilities.
hello.What do you mean by "full bidirectional" ?
@@luisgomez7019 View our channel video,you will know what is bidirectional test.
Brilliant bit of kit I use one in work everyday.
Can you force regen a dpf on these?
@@hibbs79 we use the mp808 version and it does forced regeneration.
Thanks for that mate
I just brought this tool as we have a few cars/vans in the household, it has already been used so much, as the misses Volvo C30 been playing up, one thing I’m not happy with is the fact that it has told me, the dpf additive tank is empty, you can clear the code but not reset the counter, so the code keeps coming back even after topping the tank up, this I feel is a major oversight, for this unit as it is part of the dpf service so should be included , I really don’t want to buy another unit just to reset the counter, I had hoped this would be my one stop fix, I would even be willing to pay for a software update to include this!!
Temp reading before your dpf was showing as -40degc. Might be an issue with a sensor
that was the first thing i noticed when he loaded that page too
I used to love BMW's, had 8 in the past 14 years and the newer they are the more problems they've had, my current 535d has been a money pit and I'm sick of it now.
James, have you used the tool in your fords? Is it useful? I am considering buying one for my ford focus and ford mondeo, Cheers,
James the more exspence ms908 pro comes with the actual box to program parameters ect ect such as injector replacement that need re coding for example and it also allows you to access more systems on a BMW for example also the hot keys function from what I understand you can use to keep certain options stored there like if you do alot immobiliser work that fuck would be stored there.
Great video I've been itichin to see your review of this product !
Keep up the good work !
15:25 ahaha my first car memory! bmw e87 118d m47 90kw, bwm bwm hummm and compression that slightly moved the stick shift 😄 Ive thought its only my car making those sleepy noises until it wakes up 😅 17:18 😍
Mahindra! That’s an Indian car make! 😅🇮🇳 Great video! Need to get one of these tools at some point. :)
Try updating the scan tool might work better with the tpms system
You should be able to reset the TPMS via the cars own menu system on either the stalk or the steering wheel controls.
Had the same problem with my R56 mini a couple of years ago
You can reset it but that doesn't tell you what the problem is. I had a flashing TPMS light on my dashboard when I bought my second hand BMW F30 335D X Drive (2017 reg). No matter how much I tried to reset it using iDrive it would never reset. It transpired the previous owner was a cheapskate and had fitted new budget tyres to the car and hadn't bothered to have sensors fitted - which has actually a legal requirement as the car used runflat tyres - so you'd have no way of knowing the car was losing tyre pressure since the tyres were runflat and there weren't any TPMS sensors fitted to the tyres.
As soon as I had sensors fitted to each wheel, and programmed them myself using an Autel TPMS 508 tool, suddenly TPMS light stopped flashing and the system worked with tyre pressures showing on the iDrive.
Nice bit of kit.
I currently have a black 5 door 120d I’m stripping for parts for my other car , if you need anything for yours for price of postage just let me know 👍🏻 great videos
Just one very important point everyone should be aware of, if you take the results of your scan to the garage they will most likely insist on doing their own diagnostic scan even though the odds are itwill show precisely the same results why? because it gives them at least £45 each time they plug in, money for old rope. We have a S class Mercedes and a local specialist wanted £75 and MB wanted £100. Be aware.
Informative video but damm I got dizzy watching it, could you not mount the camera to something solid/stable...
not sure if you've got the info of whether it was done or not, but my 1 series of the same model (and some 3 series) were recalled for battery terminal cables (or something similar) some time up to a year ago. you may have heard about it on the news. might be worth looking in to that as well if you're keeping the car for a bit.
the tool does look good but very pricey for a driveway mechanic
you can use this scanner to do the brake bleed on a chevy Astro 98 AWD..
Hello. Is this device dealing with hybrid cars and hybrid batteries and examining the hybrid system for Toyota, Honda and others? Thanks
Your temperature sensor before particulate filter show - 40°C, maybe it's one if your problem with the dpf
The tyre pressure issue may be the valve. Some tyre fitters don't know about these and can break them and they ain't cheap to replace
im working with Europeans cars is the autel mx808 good with those cars i mean with the services and code reading ?
SC is sport coupe HC is hatch. Oh and by looking at the codes, if it’s present it’s a recent fault and if it says not present it will be an old code that may have been fixed
Hi from dubai. Thanks for great information. Does it also have graphic to show short term and long term
He looks like Joe Rogan, damn man haha! Thanks for the video, very informative, camera could be in a stable position though, I got dizzy watching this.
I spoke to Autel customer service who confirmed that MK808 is not designed for EU, apparently for UK the equal to MK808 is DS808 and MX808, and Autel never sells MK808 to EU. Confusion is real...
Hi do u need new anti roll bar bushes for the mk5 fiesta ? As I have 2 brand new sets
I’ve got a Bmw. I feel the pain.
Absolutely.
When you going to install the led lights on the car ?
Welcome to bmw ownership run flat light will come on all the time easy to reset without the tool, also all those dpf codes are cause your dpf is missing can hear it when starts, keep up the good work anyway
Do you find the steering is really heavy on the 1 series?
I don't like paying for updates do you have to update it will it stop working or will it lose features no longer work if you don't update it regularly. Do you have to pay more money to keep it working.
With Autel MK808BT Pro scanner, is it possible to Program a 2nd spare key for Vauxhall Insignia 2009 Automatic Diesel?
Is this is the same as an Autel MD808 but with touch screen and android OS?
The tire pressure needs to be reset after u inflate your tyres
13:22 1,035 BAR fuel rail pressure is over 15,000 PSI!!!!! OMG, I'm sticking with my 1995 W124 diesel with mechanical injection pump. 4BT Cummins as well!
cant you adjust and turn off systems like the carly scanner
Hello, I have the same car. Can this tool show live data for injectors timing and correction?
Is this still the "current" model? GF has a Toyota Prius-V with maintenance light on, TPMS needs new sensors in winter wheels, and traction control light is on. I hope it works with Toyota well!
I would have applied all the updates before heading to the car... Also those bmws are money pits; if you don't believe me ask Scotty! The price of status :)
Dammit, now I can't help but picture him sayin' : "endless... MONEY PITS !" Lmao
The 1 series works off the abs sensor and it doesn't actually have tpms in the wheels hence why it didn't support it on Autel. 👌
I just bought this this should work on renault trafic 2016 1.6 diesel
tell me, bmw 143hp or mondeo st 2.2tdci 155hp, WHO'S better? and why? THANKS!
192k Miles, I wouldn't throw too much money at this one. Every 1 series I've had or friends have had only make it to a smudge over 150k then the timing chain or oil pump fails.
Recon it can download Netflix, be perfect bolted to the steering wheel, watching NFS
Just a quick comment to say thanks for the review, was looking at a number of scanners and seeing what the MK808 could do helped me make my mind up. Only had a quick shot of it so far but reckon will be very useful addition to the toolbox.
Does this read parking sensors aswell ?
Can you tell me where i can buy one from as the ones that i have fount on google are fakes like from from autel uk
Basically having your car serviced every year. The dealer will remove mist off there codes.not hsvingbtge car serviced and the computer reservist stored up issues
Could you tell me where to purchase this as there are a lot of clone/non genuine scanners out there?
The "snow flake" is for freeze frame data. Pretty much every tool has that.
I am not sure it was a good idea to send out a unit that costs more than most of your cars... their DIY products are also very good, if only for one brand. But you can add more brands for 10 bucks a piece or so, which would be more realistic for average DIYers...
Can you reset adaptations for the bmw with this scanner?
1:40 that's good to know because I've got one and I can even browse Facebook with it 😂
How do you find this tool 2/3 years on? Im debating on purchasing one
Change the battery and reset all fault codes. Battery is at 12.1v and is likely causing the errors. Had the same on my 3 series and a new battery solved it.
You say there is a lot on the unit, but yet a simple Tpms function the unit did not support. how many other functions does it not support
Does anyone know if this will communicate with the nissan leaf HV Battery ?
Hey where did u purchase this from there is a lot of company’s selling them at differant prices lol
For info TH-camr Tolly Swift has done a few videos on the 1 series recently - hoping that helps you.
How's the welding going?
Hi first time seeing your channel how much is that in UK dollars in the US yeah if you take the battery out of your BMW you're gonna have to reprogram to put the code back in otherwise it won't start
Hello. How much is the machine price, do you have a used piece.
You initiate the scan with more than 25 updates, is important don't ignore this updates, because this data will help the system to give you the right information about your car diagnosis
Is this tool owners need to activate BMW indicators?
What indicators? lol
You can use BMW Scanner V 1.4 to activate indicator daytime running. EBay.
PORJAUK 🤣 don’t think you get the Sarcasm
PORJAUK BMW drivers don't indicate 😆
What a bummer not having able to check the TPMS codes. I was really looking forward to it. I wonder if that' s going to be the case with more of the options once you select them. I'd hate to spend the money on this model and not be able to diagnose common fault codes.
Maybe this BMW has NO tpms sensors in the wheels but is the system getting information by the difference in rpm of the ABS-rings...?
The best thing about these Autel machines is that the screen is big enough to use. That alone is worth paying extra for. The Lauch CRP429c is a nice tool but the screen is tiny like a mobile phone and unrealistic to use for mechanics wearing gloves etc.
Does the cr429c cover Vauxhall? Does it do all the stuff it supposed to?
can u do component test ? cylinder by cylinder test ?
Does anyone have this tool? And if you do can anyone shed any light on why my 'service.manual' is greyed out and not press-able?
It's the abs ring on the drive shafts rust underneath and they start touching the sensor and throws loads of lights on the dash, rings are £25ish on eBay
Or as a temp fix, spaces the rear abs sensors out about 1mm with a tiny piece of cardboard and it should stop most them codes👍 good luck bro
It's not hard but a long job to change the abs rings 😔 but worked sweet on mine and I had a friend with the same problems and I just stopped the sensor hitting the ring with a piece of cardboard and it's still sweet 10 months later
You have a lot of fault codes on there, and remember the man Scotty from the USA says ‘they are a money pit’ so well done.
