Autel MK808S First Impressions 

Good unit! We have the mp 808. It has full bi directional.

Nice unit. You have to "explore" the tool with various vehicles to see what they can do.

I will stick with launch and topdon . 2 year subscriptions and they don’t brick after the subscription

I love this type of video because I help guys on a tech line and sometimes have to direct them on how to use their scan tools which I sometimes haven't had the chance yet to use out in the field. Thanks. Also a question-How is the Autel MAF data PID info changed from Lbs per minute to GPS? That's one that has eluded me so far.

Note to self: check if nastf got their way before I update my tools immobilizer function.

I bought the @harborfreight T8 and regret it. It’s fairly fast, but doesn’t have topology, which I had hope it came with. Not sure why new scanners aren’t coming standard with topology. It’s an amazing troubleshooting assist.

I actually believe it is Autoauth capable.

I have the MX808 Which I was told is the US version and Mk808 is for overseas

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

What would be a great versatile scan tool for a mobile mechanic/ auto diagnostic tech

nice bit of kit for the money 👍 but i tell you man if i had a £/$ for every time i have had a customer that has diy scanned there car fired the parts canon for £/$ 200 or more then it don’t fix it for me to say the scan tool gives you an indication or a path to follow but you then need to test the entire circuit/part what it needs what it wants and what’s missing i would be able to retire tomorrow 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

👍👍😊😊

A good competitor to this would be the xtool D8.. Their pric3 has dropped from seven hundred, down to around four fifty now, for the "wired" version. It's hard to beat at that pric3. Three years free updates. It's actually really good at IMMO and can pull codes for it. They even added topology about a year ago.. has full actuation tests and over 30 special functions. and can do some EEprom (supposedly). So this thing is the one to get if you're on a budget, IMO. To get anything better, you have to sp3nd over a thousand.

Does it ask for a bunch of RPO codes when trying to scan a GM something? I hate that with the Autel I have. Entering the VIN seems almost useless.

For $399 the launch crp919xbt is best bang for the buck in that category.

If you don't purchase a update does it brick or just stay at last update ?

Chinese vendors selling on Amazon so you’re limited support and warranty buy at your own risk is what it should say

After seeing this, My xtool D8 may actually be a clone of Autel; because it looks almost identical on most screens. Even the physical tablet is very similar, with the side grips, etc. interesting
