      Does the autel mk808 has bidirectional capability?

  • @matthewkline7842
    @matthewkline7842 2 роки тому +1

    I'm a desiel technician that works on big trucks but there's times we work on normal vehicles as well and this tool comes in handy if your a mechanic and know what too look for and how to test stuff the bi directional isn't always necessary and I can still get the job done with this tool and diagnose something properly

    • @SlipFitGarage
      @SlipFitGarage  2 роки тому +1

      You're correct..... bidirectional control IS NOT always necessary for the average mechanic..... but neither is a 3/4" socket set. However, there are times when there is no other option and you need what you need. This video was filmed several years ago and since then, other companies have started putting out scan tools with bidirectional control for roughly the same money as this tool. To each his own but for me I'm always looking for the most value. In scan tools, I'm looking for the most functionality for the least amount of money. I don't have a crystal ball so therefore I can not see into the future. I have no idea what repairs I will be making in the future but I always do my best to be prepared as much as possible. If I can buy a $600 tablet style "code reader" or a different brand "diagnostic scan tool" with full bidirectional control for about the same money.... I'm buying the diagnostic scan tool. To each his own, your mileage may vary. Thanks for the comment.

    Thanks for the review! I got this scanner a few weeks ago and didn't know about the hot functions. I'll be sure to try them out next time. I'm a full time mechanic but only doing maintenance type work so this scanner is great for inspection notifications and replacing rear brake pads on cars with electronic parking brakes. So much information this tool gives me I love it!

      Hello, this video is several years old at this point..... The entire 808 family of scan tools received a major update earlier this past summer that gave them all a BUNCH more features and functions. The MK808 did get a lot better with that update but a subscription is/was required to get that new update. Either way, I'm sure you'll be very happy with the new MP 808. Thanks for the comment.

      Well, its NOT full bi-directional. This scanner (MK808bt) will NOT allow me to cycle the fuel pump, or reset fuel composition for example on my 2006 GMC 1500.... My MK908 DOES allow me to control all of the above AND everything else that the ecm allows. There is a BIG difference in full control between the MK808bt, and the MK908. .. it is VERY apparent when both scanners are used on the same vehicle. Trust me, the MK808bt is NOT full bi-directional.

      This video is over 5 years old. A lot has changed since this video was recorded. For example, the entire 808 family now has full bidirectional control as of June 1st 2022.... and that happened with only ONE update. These scan tools receive software updates on almost a weekly basis, NOT just once per year when new vehicle models come out. Somewhere along the way, it appears the "range" was removed. That's the only thing I can think of.... there is NOT a setting for that in the scan tool software, that I now if anyway. I don't physically have this scan tool in my possession anymore so I can't see if the "values" are still there or not. Thanks for the question.

    • @SlipFitGarage
      @SlipFitGarage  11 місяців тому

      I can't answer that question with 100% certainty.... However, this is how I see it.... Think about buying (for example) a brand new Samsung TV from Walmart, or Costco, or Sams club, or Best Buy, etc.... Same model of TV, but with a slightly different model number. This way the dealer can claim they sell a specific model (for price matching reasons) and the manufacturer knows where you bought the TV. (typical retail foolery) Same with Autel scan tools. Lots of individual Autel dealers selling on Amazon. Thanks.

The way I understsnd it, the 9xx series has complete full bidirectional control, where the 8xx series does not. But don't take my word for it, please do your own research to verify.

      @Alex Hernandez
      It means the scanner is capable of sending AND receiving information or commands. Bi means both directions.... to AND from the vehicle. Most lower-end scan tools only receive data from the car. They don't let you send any commands to the vehicle like the high-end scanners do. An example of bi-directional control would be using the scan tool to turn a fan on and off, or the fuel pump on and off, etc, etc... Hopefully that makes sense to you. I'm not always the best at explaining things

      The video I did about the MK808BT is the wireless bluetooth version. If the standard "wired" version (which I've never used) has the same software capability as the BT version, and it fits your budget, then I would say yes, it is worth the extra money. It can scan and view every module in your vehicle, where the maxicheck only sees engine, abs, etc. Plus, it has "some" bidirectional controls (as shown in my video) along with being able to program keys, and tire diameter. If you do a lot of your own work, the 808 would be really nice to own for future work. Also, with it being basically an Android tablet, that user interface makes it easier to use, than the maxicheck.

      @SlipFitGarage  4 роки тому

      That data 1 tab was just displaying live data. Nowhere on that particular screen can you manually adjust ANY settings. Are you asking about temporarily setting the idle higher by electronically opening the throttle? Or are you asking about permanently (or until reprogrammed again) setting the engine idle speed? Or are you asking about high rpm limits, etc? I believe this scan tool will allow you to temporarily bump the idle during certain functions for diagnostic purposes only. If you want to permanently adjust idle speed, then I believe you would need full tuning software capable or reflashing the factory parameters within the vehicle's computer.

      The reason why I asked is because that may be something that particular vehicle allows. For example, I also own an MK908 and I cannot change the RPM settings on my 2006 GMC truck. Keep in mind, pretty much all menus and options that appear on a scan tool screen are dictated by the vehicle that it's plugged into. If I plugged my MK908 into that guy's BMW I would see those same settings that you saw in his video. But when I plugged that same scan tool into my old GMC the settings and options are completely different. Now with that said.... I've never plugged my mk808bt into a BMW so it is possible that it would allow for RPM setting adjustnent.... I've just never plugged it into a vehicle where that setting has appeared on screen. Are you looking to also adjust RPM on the same type of BMW? Or are you thinking about a completely different vehicle all together?

    • @SlipFitGarage

      Yes, of course the codes will be the same as any other scanner. The scanner does not create the codes, the vehicle does. This scanner will also show every live data PID your car has to offer, where your 25 dollar scanner only shows a small handful of live data PIDs, if any at all. This scanner will scan ANY module in your vehicle and display the codes. A 25 dollar scanner typically only scans for engine codes and ignores codes from all other modules. This scanner offers many service functions that 25 dollar scanners (typically) do not offer. Im not saying you shouldn't return this scanner, that is totally up to you.... but to compare this scanner with your 25 dollar scanner is NOT a fair comparison. This scanner does far more than a 25 dollar scanner..... if YOU dont need any of that extra functionality that is completely understandable. Thanks for the comment.

    Menu is great... too bad half the stuff doesn't work

      Just because the scanner is capable of some functions, doesn't mean the vehicle you're working on supports them.

      That's a damn lie. Those systems function fine with other scanners. Don't tell me it's not supported!!

      @@wag1492 I'm not telling you anything, for certain. I have no idea what make and model or function you're talking about. I was speaking only in general terms..... if you don't like autel scanners, don't watch the video. I am not a professional mechanic, nor do I work for autel. However, I can tell you that everything I tried to do with the scanner has worked fine.

      Well.. I am a professional mechanic. I would love to not watch however youtube insists I do.. too bad when you thumbs down something, it continues to pop up. Flaw in you tube algorithm

      Just because a video appears in your suggested feed doesn't mean you HAVE to watch it. But thanks for the view and the thumbs down..... even a thumbs-down helps a video. And that's not a flaw in the algorithm, it is by design.
