Autel Scanner MaxiCOM MK808S: 2025 Bidirectional Tool as MK808BT Pro MX808S M808Z, Function as MaxiCheck MX900, 28+ Service, Active Test, All System Diagnose, Injector Coding, FCA Autoauth Android 11

I’ve been using this device for about a year now. This scanner in specific is my favorite so far, allowing me to do anything and everything I’ve needed with a massive selection of different car companies. I’ve used this scanner for cars that typically need a special scan tool, but with constant updates and new features being added all the time, this scanner was able to handle everything on its own. This scan tool is fast, affordable, easy to use, reliable, and overall a great choice for anyone working on cars.

Item was delivered quickly and as described, after some googling and you tube videos' this scanner will end up saving you some cash by self diagnosing fault codes and suggesting resolution and or reset/clear options, runs active tests and is much more advanced than my knowledge of the vehicle but it will definitely give you insight on what the mechanics need to be laser focused on instead of throwing money at an issue and hoping it works or over charging you for unnecessary repairs, I have a 2013 GL 550 full of sensors and all the bells and whistles so this scanner is handy for sure

Used it a little bit today after getting it and it does so much more then my old scanner and fairly easy to use.

Likes:A pretty responsive user interface.Lots of vendors supported and covers most of the cars I see.Fairly in depth diagnostic capability.A few active diagnostic control tools.Dislikes:User interface is kind of difficult to navigate and filter for the PIDS you are interested in.No CANbus network diagrams, or information.No wiring diagrams even with the annual subscription.DuraMax Diesel 3.0L fuel injections pressure ranges are off by a factor of 8X-10X. They are showing <~3,800 when the limits are really up to around 36,000+Unreliable code clears fail to remove historical codes from some modules. It says it clears, but it does not .Changes:A better way to manage, categorize and group and select PIDs other than only the infinite scroll. Each technician is going to have preferences as to how they approach things and on modern cars there are too many to infinitely scroll through as the only option.Some sort of user profile where you can save PIDS and other parameters in groups and them enable or disable by group.Some memory of vehicle history by VIN so that it can re-import and select the PIDS that were used previous on the same vehicle. That makes it much faster when powering up for each re-test during repairs.Improve reliability of the existing features.

Great scanner, saved me several times on the road. Getting to know and fully understand it's capability helps emencely.

MK808s has saved me thousands within my first use. bought San-Tool this yr 2023 no more getting ripped off by the dealership for things I can do myself. Even if you're not a DIY person you well at least be able to tell the dealership not only the codes but how to do the job, the dealerships take advantage of anyone who goes in for service with the check engine light on saying, I have no idea whats wrong, I bought this scanner after a good friend told me to stop trusting your service advisor at the dealership. He only tells you customers states, then he rips you off so he can make his commission . well those days are long over for me I've never worked on any type of emissions sys, well this scan- tool not only gave me the codes but allowed me to search right on the scanner helping to find the OEM parts I needed, that can be found right here on amazon and very easy to install for the most part. So easy yet the dealerships charges insane prices for the same thing one can do themselves . The dealerships never will tell you and surely would never show you just how easy some of these fixes are. you'll feel so good kwoing you not only found the fault but you were able to clean area before placing the new part in place, something the dealership would never do.. No more guessing what's wrong with any of my 5 vehicels ever again, once any dealership knows you're the type that keeps up with all the your required repairs and or maintenance they'll always seem to find problems even if it's only a routine oil change.. Note not all service advisor are dishonest people, a very well known dealerships service advisor in my town was the one who told me to get a very nice scanner and put a stop on being ripped off. So after months of doing my research I selected (Autel Scanner MaxiCOM MK808S) this scanner here is way more then i'll ever need, however what I love about this scanner is it's for the basic mechanic on to the very experience mechanic like myself, now I can do minor repairs or the more complex repairs, either way that'll be my choice and not the dealership anymore. Yes you only get one year of free updates for me it still wasn't any brainer this scanner is way better than matco and snap-on by far!!! My only Con is towards myself, when I asked myself what took me so damn long to stop being ripped off and getting a scanner that does so much that it pays for whatever spent just on the first. All I had to do was calculate the cost of parts over the cost of labor and this scan-tool gave me not just my money back but I also dont have the worry about the check engine light coming on, Plus my vehicle passed the state inspection that's still required here in Texas with no faults found. This scanner not only shows you the codes and faults but I personally never gave it a 2nd thought on how a emissions sys works and all the realted components, so not only did this scanner help me fix the problem, it educated me on how the emissions sys works.

I was very impressed with scanner and bidirectional functions that I decided to do an upgrade to 900 - BT scanner Autel.
