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

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

This thing is awesome.A decade ago a tool of this quality would have run you about $3k.It’s got features to diagnose and monitor every piece of equipment on your vehicle.Might be a bit too much for casual mechanics, but I love the abilities it provides me.

I have a 2020 Ram 1500 that I used this on. I originally used a code reader to identify the check engine light but found I only received generic information. After deciding to get this (on sale at the time) I was able to properly diagnose the issue my truck was having. The transfer case would only work in 4WD. The codes I was receiving were CAN-C communication issues from the code reader. This scan tool identified exactly what was transpiring in the drivetrain computer. (FAD was not disengaging)It also allowed me to see and clear all the codes in the system that had popped up because of the original fault. This saved me thousands in shop costs and hundreds in other parts if I had just tried chasing the problem.The software is easy enough to use but not very fast.With my Ram I had to buy an adapter cable in order to do anything aside from read the faults. (apparently it is a Chrysler thing)

The AUTEL MK808S is not your old dumb orange OBDII Scanner.Using this device for the first time is somewhat a pain without a manual.It will take me a while to figure out most of the features.THERE IS NO USER MANUAL – but it comes with:--- Quick Reference Guide. (1 pg. - 3 diagrams and a QR Code to website).- Quick Start Guide. (8 pg. 5”x7.5” color fold-out). …Get out a magnifier to read it.--- The Quick Start Guide will suffice if you can read the small print.YOU ARE REQUIRED TO REGISTER THE DEVICE BEFORE YOU CAN USE IT.- YOU CAN REGISTER BY: (1) Online at AUTEL’s web site, or (2) by scanning the QR Code from your phone, or (3) inside the MK800S device after you have connected to WiFi.<> I prefer the big screen and keyboard of a computer to register.(Later I can then enter my log-in/password on the device)- You will create a log-in and give them your information. Actual address is not required.*** There will be several security checks --- this is a good thing for your protection. ***- Then, you will need the SN from the back of the device, and you will be required to go into the “ABOUT” on the phone to get a pass code to complete registration.- Then it will require you to do a validation code to your email and-or phone.*** Once done with the registration, it will show “My Devices” and a screen to pay: $125. You can ignore this. It is for Year 2 subscription renewal, and is only necessary to get new updates after Year 1.That said, install all the updates before the 1st year is done.

I gave it to my husband for his birthday. And he loved it. He was able to get a job that he could not do with his old scanner

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.
