Hi when you say this tool has built in Wi-Fi is it the same as a Satnav device always connected or does it have to be in range of your Wi-Fi router and do all these scanners you test, all have built in Wi-Fi?
I'm going to be ordering the MK808s-ts for the added BT DLC conn and TPMS capabilities. Looks like an amazing tool! I was questioning exactly how "bi-directional" capable they actually were, as some manufacturers of these lower price range scan tools claim they are bi-directional but when actually put to use in the field, I often found that they were missing critical functions and control. Looking forward to adding one to my arsenal 💪😁
Excellent video!!great through review!! 👍🏼
Thank you for the great feedback about the Autel mk808s video.
Can that tool diagnose misfiring like cylinder 1 to cylinder 8 misfiring
Good video Bro. Know I have more information thanks to you.
Thank you for the great feedback
Thanks your vidio is very good explaining and we have to give onor to the person that onor deserves and is you keep it up with. Your videos well explained you have on my end 100
Thank you for the amazing feedback on the Autel mk808s video.
Can this scanner install new modules? E.g., can it install a new ABS module in my 2010 Ford Escape Hybrid?
Wil it work to regenarate dpf mercedes vito 447
Very good Video and very well explained Thank you I just bought the same scanner.
I appreciate your feedback Sorry for the late reply
Do you need to be online to used these kinda OBD Reader ? Do you need to have a wifi to used this ? Can you used this new from the box . ? What happens if you don't updates does this still work ? Is this capable of scanning Fuel Pressure test ? Is this capable of scanning compression test ?
Thanks Answered most of my questions. Main question was can you still use the scanner even if you do not want to update to new model years (You said YES in the video). Is their a list of what makes/models this scanner covers?
All the makes and models since 1996. Covers 99.9 percent of the vehicles.
what's the cheapest option, diagnostic tool to do DPF regeneration on Peugeot 208, year 2019?
I’m not sure I have never worked on a Peugeot. I would check this out for the cheapest option ua-cam.com/video/FMVLoH5txOw/v-deo.htmlsi=Fs_nqjuW0aW4myzI
Just verify it works for your vehicle. Good luck 🍀 and keep me posted.
excited to buy now, can it do adaptation? i.e. new transfer case or Car headlight assembly adaptation?
I appreciate your feedback Sorry for the late reply, did you get this handled?
Do you know which bi-directional functions go away or stay when the subscription expires? older Honda vans specifically.
Hi there, thanks for the video, I'm still debating between MK808S-TS and Topdon AD900BT, seems the autel has more functions, thanks!
Did purchase either of the scan tools? And if yes how is it?
Hi , If I do not renew with them, will I not be able to use the hot functions EPB again to fix my electronic parking brake for the rear brakes?
No your scanner will still work 100% as normal , you just won’t be able to update but a lot of owners update every other year so you will still get all the outstanding updates 👍
I appreciate your feedback Sorry for the late reply, did you get this handled?
Depending how New your car is if the car is 1996-2012 Alot of Hot keys Do Not work this Autel mx808S is "Not" good I have the same unit I'm going to be sending it back for full refund pass if you have the chance do Not Buy.
Why not do a comparison video for MK808S and Launch CRP919E?
I bought an MK808BT just trying to figure out how to use it. it seams to be a really good scanner.
Congrats on your new tool and I hope it serves you well.
Thank you this video was very informative..I ordered this scanner as a birthday gift to myself I can't wait to try it on my 2003 dodge caravan..I 've been having to many issues getting it to pass smog & with the full diagnostic on this scanner..I will finally find out what the problem is..getting it delivered sometime today 😀

Good video! Will this model program a bcm? Thanks!
I would email the vendor your Vin before buying
Thats a big NO!!! I own this MX808 which I purchased in 2018 from a vendor so I could get support. I was told by Autel that this is not a bidirectional tool. They ripped me off by only giving 10 months of updates instead of the advertised 1 year. There are better tools like Launch which can do bcm and other modules. Changing Vin's without the J2534 pass through tool for ecm programming
Great video. I just bought this same one to do a throttle reset on a 2007 chevy hhr, but I don’t see a option to reset. When I get to services, throttle ect, it brings parameters on the status of the throttle position, pedal position, but I don’t see a reset. Am I on the wrong setting? Looks like it only shows what the throttle is doing live, but no reset.
You are looking for a relearn? Why are you trying for reset? Did you clean it?
I have a BlueDriver. It shows around 12 possible causes for the engine light going on. Basically some type of exhaust leak, bad gas cap, sensor…. Does this testing unit do a better job of telling what is wrong? It would be nice if it tells me there is 1 or 2 things are wrong instead of 12.
Yes, you can do better with this unit as you can activate certain components to test it. I would clear the codes after writing everything down and then see which trouble codes come back. 12 problems is a lot and I normally see that many codes when a battery is bad or low.!
You may also want to check this unit ua-cam.com/video/QKNp2bFYcVI/v-deo.htmlsi=eZryKdi54IQq2kqC as it comes with 3 years of updates and is a better deal.
i have the Autel 906 pro 2023 model im just woundering do you know if i can connect it to my phone wifi hotspot
I appreciate your feedback Sorry for the late reply,
please how I can connet interne from cellular phone when we are outside home ?
just hotspot your mobile phone and then you connect your scan tool to wifi signal that your phone creates. google "how to hotspot your phone" or youtube
Does this scanner require software updates? Like if you didn’t update it would it stop some of the functions that you can use?
So the bidirectional controls are the only function you would lose with you stop paying for support?
Yes, it’s sounds correct.
will this work on a 2022 ford transit for the electric parking brake so i can change the rear brakes
Just do the battery method
I appreciate your feedback Sorry for the late reply
Most Fords do not require a scan tool to put the epb in service mode. Simply turn on the ignition, step on the brake and gas pedal then Hold down on the epb switch all simultaneously . While doing this turn the ignition off then back on. When the yellow brake light comes on the dash you're now in servuce mode.
Yo, Papi! How are you liking the Autel MK808S? Just got one for testing/review. I am just an avid DIYer that works in all my vehicles as much as I can. Sub'd!!
The Autel is good but if you watched the whole review there were moments of disappointment, look at this instead as it’s best I’ve tested and includes 3 years of updates ua-cam.com/video/QKNp2bFYcVI/v-deo.htmlsi=yFRedTwCBvt0yLPn
Can you adjust kilometers ?
I have not tried and it does change the odometer it maybe limited by the manufacturer of certain vehicle. So research a lot before buying.
So I brought this but my question is can this scanner work for car that is made below the year 2009?
yes, 1996 and newer
Where did you buy it from? Not doing amazon cause you wont get support from Autel.thanks in advance.
I got from Amazon. Why won’t Autel support your if buy from Amazon?
Is there an unlocked scan tool out there that would have all the dealership software and not require a yearly subscription?
ua-cam.com/video/ZHd0YUIruW0/v-deo.htmlsi=a5LCuqrKYJl0CNJE
Hello,
How long is the free subscription last? How much do we pay to renew the subscription? Thank you.
I think was one year, check out this one instead as it’s powered by Autel and includes 3 years plugs it’s wireless and priced better. I just release this video this week ua-cam.com/video/ofiXkvw7H9E/v-deo.htmlsi=mAlG0TxD1RsymvdD
I bought my MK 808 in 2018 and they are still using the same hardware. Memory capacity and cpu speed haven't changed. I don't know wat they added as far as hardware to the scanner. I was told when I purchased it that it wasn't bidirectional which it is bidirectional from Autel. It's the software that limits its capabilities from Autel. This tool is capable of many more higher level functions but Autel is like nope purchase the 900 series to get the beast. I couldn't afford the one with the passthrough tool for firmware programming
Hello, MaxiCOM MK808S could diagnose MB eclass w212 hybrid 2014, Peugeot 307 hdi 2004 and Opel Corsa D 2008? My own cars. Appreciate your opinion. Thanks.
Yeah all of these vehicles are covered
I changed my accelerator pedal sensor with a new one but the car doesn't recognize it. Can this tool fix it or relearn it?
This function would be normally under the throttle relearn, as the accelerator pedal values are used to determine the throttle. I show it in this video ua-cam.com/video/BnVkrsvtIlo/v-deo.htmlsi=rqvON8MDsONfZCPY but the autel unit should have it too.
Will this initialize a abs module
Depending how new your car is this Autel mx808S is "Not" good I have the same unit I'm going to be sending it back for full refund pass if you have the chance.
Autel mk808s , launch x431 crp919x , or topdon ? Thinking about buying it but what’s put me off is , for example topdon can recharge battery from car battery, screen record , built in browser , dont know to kuch about lunch yet . Which one you guys would consider from these 3 ?
Hi, I'm in the same boat between this and topdon ad900bt...
@GeoBot_Gaming look at these two unit currently ua-cam.com/video/eO6eAkUjwHg/v-deo.htmlsi=8B2QmjsDJRSqJ9ih
ua-cam.com/video/QKNp2bFYcVI/v-deo.htmlsi=U5rfHMI0uCLSWsgt
@@GeoBot_Gaming i have ordered launch on black Friday for 280£ and I would say is outperforms autel in my opinion + 2yrs free update in price .
If you reset airbag srs light will it stay off?
Only if you fix the issue or the fault code was caused by remove the seat, etc…
It will point in the right direction on what the issue could be.
So just to clarify, if I dont maintain an active subscription I loose access to bi-directional functions?
I believe on the Autel you do, but on xtool you don’t, but you will not get any updates. Which again for me is not a big deal as brand new vehicle seldom need a repair that needs to done asap. ua-cam.com/video/QKNp2bFYcVI/v-deo.htmlsi=rgelutzUqun2fj7d
You can also email the vendor and ask. If you find out any different from I stated please let me know. Thanks 🙏
@@RANDOMFIX yah I just went with with mucar v07 or whatever it's called. Really good price and functions do not get disabled if I don't have an active subscription. Now let's see how it works with my mini/Honda/Lincoln cars.
Good to he’s and enjoy your mucar v07.
Hi does it run evap tests ? Just saw this scan tool 20% off on amazon…
The vehicle runs the evap it’s test itself. You can not force a evap run but I have heard that it is possible for Porsche but I have not tried it. The video description of this video ua-cam.com/video/jldTJI64cfM/v-deo.htmlsi=idtJeLawVLqg4Y3K and find your make and I provide the exact steps you need to set your evap monitor. This scan tool can help diagnose an issue with the evap system. Good luck and happy holidays
Hey will this code reset permanent DTC codes such as PO 430? The problems causing the code were fixed but i'd rather not drive the car. I prefer to reset the code with the scanner.
The car is a 2014 Ford explorer.
Permanent codes need to unlearned and self cleared by the vehicle.
ua-cam.com/video/PMcJtcSOzdk/v-deo.htmlsi=t_RNwivl7hsA5UQd
From your experience, which brands do not take away bi-directional features if you let the subscription expire? Thanks.
This is one of the best scan tool I have tested and it came with 3 years of updates.
ua-cam.com/video/QKNp2bFYcVI/v-deo.htmlsi=0edhHAn_OPXWDChh
If you want Autel go with this as it’s powered by Autel but came with 2 years of updates.
ua-cam.com/video/eO6eAkUjwHg/v-deo.htmlsi=2KwwRDL-x3adavth
Let me know which one you liked better and why after you view the videos. Thanks
can it be used after the 1 year or it becomes a brick?
It should still work after the updates but bi directional functions might be disabled. That’s why I have been recommending this instead ua-cam.com/video/QKNp2bFYcVI/v-deo.htmlsi=cA3HqDII-sw3UlGK as it comes with three years and after 3 years it will still work but your won’t get any more updates which doesn’t affect the use of scan tool.
Does this scanner record screen or take screenshots?
Screen shots for sure but I don’t recall the screen recorder. I would show it in the video if it did have one but I don’t recall.
Does the work with 4wd ecu? I was suggested this tool for that reason, butnim not seeing in their discription that it does that. Looking to purchase soon, but i need to known it does 4wd
You need to contact Autel , they will be able to answer your question but a 4wd ECU should be no different to a 2wd ECU as it’s still an ECU regardless of.
@@richie674 It does not read the 4wd ecu on my 2006 tundra.
@@battlecore501 okay I believe from what I understand is Autel buy vehicles & reverse engineer the electronics I.e. extract information for their own research etc , to use on their scan tools & it could be the Tundra is not on their list maybe , TBH a lot of scan tools , even top models sometimes don’t read certain type of vehicles . Hope you find one for your Tundra 👋👍 While I think about it , it’s called a Hilux here in England as we have its sister pick up instead .
@richie674 I fixes thee issue that I needed the scanner for, so now I just have a cook scanner that I haven't found a need for yet! Lol
@@battlecore501 that’s good to hear mate , with vehicles ever getting more complex with electronics etc etc , you need a good scanner otherwise where do you start ? I’d be lost without mine as it’s my doctor ☺️🍻🙏🤝😀
Does it do odometer correction
It depends on the vehicle and currently I think there is better units that you should consider

Just email the vendor your vin and ask for a list of supported features
Asking, if this scanner can diagnos heavy equipment?
Not for heavy equipment
@RANDOMFIX can it reset isn on a bmw?
I have not tried it on a bmw to know. Email the vendor your vin and ask for listed of support functions.
Ohk thank you
It's disappointing what a powerful scan tool like this is limited to. They won't let you access most dealer functions, and what they will let you access you have to pay annually for, even after purchasing the scanner.
Sadly, that’s the same as most big dollar scanners I have the Zeus by snap on and I’m blocked behind pay subscriptions. I don’t update I can’t access the subscriptions. It’s all a pay game. These aren’t as expensive as most of the software is though you have to look at it in a long time of things is it worth it or should you go more and buy the big dog and pay more
Not even with the free first year subscription? With all the updates etc
@cardroid8615 the first year is included
@@nicktorres5540
Does this tool work on MB Sprinter 2002 - 2006 T1N models ?
yes, 1996 and newer
Can it program 2019 dodge challenger
The ecu? This tools can not Re flash or program ecu but you can always check with manufacture by emailing them your vin.
@@RANDOMFIX I have a 2019 dodge charger I lost my key I was wondering can it make a new one for it
I'm looking to buy a scanner somewhere about $500, but I don't want to pay a yearly subscription after the first year.
Thank you for the feedback!
Not an expert but, I have yet to see any scanner that doesn't have a yearly subscription. But usually the scanners only need the subscription to update the device for newer models. So you don't really need to buy the subscription unless the car you are scanning is newer than whatever the latest model the device has.
Yeah that bothers me too. But I figure if I sell scanning services on Marketplace or something, I would only need one customer per year to cover it.
Can the mk808s data log?
Yes. It has data logging.
What does renewal after one year mean?
blackbw2 • Renewal of the software.
You can still use the device but if you want access to new updates and bidirectional functions you need to pay around $125.
@@RANDOMFIX You mean if we don't renew we can no longer access the bidirectional functions when we first bought it? Or, you meant just the new bidirectional features that may come with the new updates. Thanks.
Renewal costs $129.00 with the first year free.
No ABS?
Of course it works for abs and rear electronic brake service
How much it cost
under 400, link is the video description.
Please Autel mk808s price
Currently it’s $479 with a 30 coupon.
On the OBD2 side of the program it says ‘incomplete’ and on the OEM side it says ‘complete.’ Since the correct one is the former, then what is the point of having those OEM modules on there if they can’t give an accurate scan result? So basically, this is just an overpriced basic scanner with bi-directional capability. Good job Autel…I’ll look elsewhere.
i appreciate your feedback !
This scanner has a really bad major drawback. No search function in live data. Some cars have 1000 different parameters and you have to roll throug all of them to find the right parameter. And then if u want to erase a fault code and go back to live data, you have to start over the browsing/rolling to find the right parameters again. Crazy annoying and the reason this tool only is for home use, or as a backup unit in the workshop.
I can understand your frustration and it is annoying to scroll a long menu.
What scanner would you recommend?
I going to unsubscribe to this channel can’t answer a simple question
Try asking the question next time
Lol, I was trying to figure out his question as well.
@wackey3455
You should be able to connect the scanner to your phones hotspot as long as the phone allows hotspot connection.
If you move your big fat fingers out of the way it will be a lot better
Yes, thank you for the not so kind feedback. I learned a long time ago that there are some people that will always complain. I’m not talking about of course. lol.
Dude I get it, nothing is perfect including my big fat fingers. Didn’t I do a screen share on this video?
Did I understand you correctly, you said if we did not renew the service we will not be able to use the bidirectional functions? if yes how sure are you? thanks
That’s what I was told and on different unit I hear different things. I would email them and get in write if that is important to you. The Times I have had an Autel unit and I didn’t not renew my unit continued to operate but I just didn’t get any more updates.
Let me know if need recommendations to a good substitute that use powered by Autel and I wireless for $320 and it includes two years of Autel updates.
thanks for your quick reply, actually this one is being delivered as we speak, an yes that would be a deal breaker for me if I lose the bidirectional, two function I'm mainly concerned for is to be able to do a rodeo test on BAC system in my mercedes, also being able to read ATF temp if I needed to replace ATF @@RANDOMFIX , as far as recommendation , I think I know what you're gonna say , is it ottofix? I did look into that one too but the lite one is in the $300 range the one that I want is in the $600's , or is it something else you had in mind? I got this Autel on amazon lightning deal for $383 BTW.
@gusf8451 yeah the d1 lite from Otofix is good and I think it’s $320 currently, they include two years of service as well.
My 906 BT cost £1200 soon as update run out the software said corrupted that was the end of this scanner
I would contact support right away before the updates end and ask them to fix it.
I tried the 2023 MX808S and the software for Honda has a lot to be desired. Graphing errors, PID data errors, features that they post as working but do not, etc. Bad software programming and quality control. That's what happens when you buy something produced in China.
Autel support was also terrible.
I returned it the unit. Better to buy from another vendor.
