Oh dude... This is the vid I had been waiting for. I getting one right right now. For the price it gives me more than all the code readers out there. One more sold! Thank you very much!
Great video and review. Autel makes decent scanners for the price. Harbor freight tools scanners are all made by Autel. I have one that looks similar to this one. I think it was under 100.00 on sale. Paid for itself the first time I had an emissions code on my Mazda. Pointed me right to the issue, a solenoid valve.
great review. I purchased a Autel AL319 awhile back and it works good for a basic entry level scanner. I really like the features of this 619 think I will be looking picking 1 up soon. Keep up the great videos very well presented and easy to follow.
I've always liked your intro. That's right...I watch RU-vid videos! (ha ha) That was funny. That would be a great tool to have in the car. Thanks for the review, nice job.
It is possible to buy a cable extension on ebay and use it in the next village.The Maxidas is a top spec model but for the diyer maybe targeting the make and model you own will get the specs at a big discount.I was thinking of the Fusion android app where you can purchase individual add -ons reasonable.There again, I stand to be corrected/?.Great video and well executed.
i just picked up the MD802 All system version for cheap which have a lot more features than this one. but I almost got the AL619 until I read all about the md802 and what it does so I picked it up instead, it's amazing the things it could do and covers
I need one of those scanners right now and wonder if it would read from vehicles older than the 2000 models since the vehicle I have to be checked is a 1999 Ford Explorer. The video was very informational, and many people need the information.
Why not a $30 bluetooth connector, then software on a laptop or tablet? There has to be some really nice scan tool software out there thats cheaper than the hardware.
I have a ThinkOBD 100 scanner but am disappointed in that after getting all the I/M readiness showing OK and passed smog I got a fast idle pending...no big deal. I went in an cleared the code. Then went to check my I/M readiness and found that all but three readiness indicators had gone back to INC. Why would a scanner tool do that? Glad I did not do any clearing of fault codes before getting it smogged. The drive cycle is a pain in the but and now have to be done again if needed to pass smog. Why is this happening? I happened on two cars. Ford Expedition and Chevy Express
watch your videos all the time.really informative. Can you do a video on egr.i kept getting the same error message with the cheaper version to my scan tool.
its a decent scanner but its only pulling the standard obd2 codes and data. much of which you can find in a $20cad. scanner. it gives the option of manufacturer specific only for the abs and srs which one has to wonder if it justifies paying an extra 80dollars. great video though as usual, definately a pass for my needs.
Can you change the language? I got two cousins that have saved me about 3k on repairs and maintance as the do it for cheap. I would like to buy it for them as thanks but they dont speak or read English.
I got a Torque app for Android on Google for $5 and a Bluetooth adapter on eBay for $5 and does a great job but doesn't do ABS. but does have live data and graphs and connected to the internet for troubleshooting.
Betatester go to Google play store and search for Torque in the app section. there's a free and a paid version and download on an Android phone. Then go to ebay, Amazon or GearBest.com and look for a Bluetooth obd2 adapter from $5-$10.
It looks like you get engine codes and monitor readiness info with that scanner. No live data, no graphs and no ABS or SRS codes. It's all about what you need it for.
Manuel Salvatierra yes. I use it on a 02 Ford Focus and a 2014 escape. I can watch live data of o2's on both cars and fuel trims. If you have issues, probably needs updates but I've had no issue with mine right out of the box no updates and live data works
Look at the video again near the beginning at 3 minutes and 45 seconds he points to the OBD11 (On Board Diagnostic link) connector where he will plug in the scan tool. Each car he tested had the same kind of connector just in a different place under the dash or in some Acura cars it is behind a rubber door next to the accessory power outlet in the center console! If your car is too old it may not have this connection point to the car's onboard computer. However many such tools are backward compatible to OBD1. The tool is available online at Amazon.com, you can find the price there. My knowledge has been gleaned from RU-vid Channels such as, W&W, ETCG, SMA, Chrisfix and many more! When three agree I agree, it is just safer that way.
Great video thanks I want the scanner..01 escort check engine light ABS light, I also own a 99 Hyundai Tiburon has airbag light.. I'm a new subscriber I like your Channel
