you need to do so many more videos....you are a smart guy and have great videos...you have lots of knowledge to share... thanks for posting! this is probably the 8-9th video ive watched of yours
I just switched to the elite model with the jbox. Just programmed a gm bcm through gm's web site with a laptop and the jbox. My snapon guy came in and saw it, he then tried selling me on another scanner. After I told him what I paid for it he was in shock.. much happier with the Autel. But so many more options. I will be looking at more of you videos so I can understand this beast a little more
Jack Meyers Yes sir, after I installed the jbox on my computer and made a login through ACDelco's website I was able to. I know they sell just the jbox. I thought the only way to do any programming was to have the box, but I guess I was wrong.
Adam Balwinski the only way to do some programming is with the jbox. Some stuff you can do with the tool only. I have a series of videos I'm going to edit and post on some cool features autel has for instance fords. You can actually program a lot of modules on fords and hyundai by entering the module programming in the autel. It will read the module info , tell you to install the new one then rewrite the info into the blank new module. Works great you just can't shut down the scanner during the process. I have a cardaq that I use for Chrysler and a Bosch mastertech for everything else. Had them forever so I didn't need the autel box. That is good to know that the autel box works. I know the first version had tons of issues but like anything else they will perfect it.
Hi, great informative video. One thing I would like to see, is this tool programing keys when you replace a PCM on a Chrysler. Thanks, keep the good videos coming 😉
George Navarro . on most Chrysler cars the immobilizer and pcm are separate. Depending on the year but yes if you replace a pcm you can match the skim or skreem. Also program the millage and vin no problem. Some Chrysler key programming does have issues. Mostly the newer grand caravan . Even with the correct pin code I've had some fail to program. I will make a video on the next one I do
I appreciate the review on this unit. I'm an electrical engineer who pokes around my '96 Z28 enough to be very dangerous. =) I have JetDST for tuning and also a GM Tech 1A for anything else I need to diagnose on the car. I've pulled the engine/trans from my Z28 and stripped the block bare for new bearings, installed a different cam, etc, etc.(ported heads are next on the list). I prefer to work on all my vehicles. We also have two Nissan's (2005 Frontier SE 4x4 and a 2006 350Z). I have found nothing that could come close to "consult" for a reasonable price except maybe this line of tools.... I'm about the pull the trigger on a DS808(most likely tonight). From everything I've read and watched, looks like it may be the same software except for maybe the coding and bluetooth. You are right on Autel being kinda vague on what it can and can't do along with the difference between models. I'm fighting the TPMS system on the 350Z now. I recently bought a VT36 to check out the sensors and they seem good for now(they de-register in the winter, so I'm guessing the batteries are about done in them). I'm assuming that the DS808 will give me the ability to relearn the system without having to go digging under the dash for the TPMS manual learn "plug". Plus all the other diagnostic abilities of the unit would be very nice.
Having recently picked up a 906BT I’ve been very pleased with its performance on a number of cars for a number of jobs. I knew beforehand that it has TPMS limitations in comparison to the 906TS model, or a dedicated tool such as a TS508. I’ve not had any TPMS jobs to explore this with yet, can you or anyone expand on how far you’ve been able to get with the 906BT before needing a proper TS tool? What could it do for you, and what was it not able to do?
Thanks for the informative video. Not much to be found on the Maxisys. Question. Did you say the 906 won't do some coding that the 906BT will? If so could it be that the 906 was on a different revision? Thanks!
I just purchased a 2019 version of the ms906bt and mine did not come with the cd that was suppose to be included. I believe it was the printing software? Did yours come with one jack? Thanks for the video my friend 👊👍
I'm on the market for one as we speak. This vid is 3 yrs. old: Hows it holding up today? Is there an updated version? I need one that includes the 38pin for older MB. Kinda stuck. So many people selling expensive ones.
Any experience or thoughts on the Autel MP808TS? Supposed to be similar to the MS906TS with full TPMS and a wireless VCI. If so how are the bi-directional and coding capabilities?
I have the MS906BT and I get an alarm that reminds me to remove the VCI when exiting from the diagnostics setting. I agree with you on the case though... larger than it needs to be.
I picked up a Apache lockable case (for keeping your hand gun in) for my 906BT. Everything that I need fits in it nicely. I picked up another one for my Power Probe and smaller one for my MaxiScope.
Appreciate the review Sr. I am considering to get it. Quick question please. Can The ms906bt work with internet so I can get identifix, alldata, Mitchell, subscription?
Which autel blows away the snap on. I’m in school and eventually want to have a mobile service. What do you recommend and how much should I charge to just do diagnosis. That’s bruh.
Hi I'm just wondering if I get my maxisys mini 905 updated...it still would be a little cheaper and I love the size of the 905....will it have all the new features and be able to do the same key (cars) programming as this 906bt?
yep i had one ms906 bt and it is a complete machine. even after the subscription expires you still have full functions that tool it is worth the money, i upgraded to maximIM608 pro and after subscription expired i started having issues loss of communication with some vehicles
Hey jack i just invested in one of those units. is it capable of oscilliscope functions? Do you think youll be using it for this purpose ?hope so i will be looking forward to more vdeos from you on this tool .I want to get the most out of my investment as possible. Thanks Mopar Matt
I use the launch X431 Pro. I find it to be a great tool. but I'm thinking of upgrading, and am looking at the MK906BT as a person who uses Autel, what would your views be on that, please.
Hello.. Will the Bosh work as a VCI pass-through for the Autel scanner ? Or is Autel very specific as to what pass-through should be used on their scanners. Thanks
NEHEMIAH ISRAEL as far as I know there are no android based pass thru drivers. The only autel scanner that will do j2534 programming (limited programming) is the 908p and it comes with the pass thru. So basically if the autel doesn't come with the pass thru you can't use one on it anyways. As far as programming goes better off with a laptop, pass thru and using the oem websites. That's the only way I will do it.
Okay so let say you have a MS908p and for some reason your J2534 that comes with it get damaged, can you take the bosh mastertech and connect it with the usb to the MS908 and get it to work ?
@@jackmeyers2911 Hi can you use the J2534 device in conjunction with the Mini to relearn a Toyota Aygo and its other variants MMT automatic gear box change sequence without going into the expense of buying something bigger!?
i just received my 906BT and i notice its does't have Retrofit same as the 908P for BMW , however its does everything else 908P doing except retrofit and programming
This MS906BT may be overkill for a DIY, but I'm tired of hand-helds that lack the functionality I desire. This device has a lot of that, but I'm concerned about connectivity. One vehicle I service is a 2006 Toyota Avalon. It's not setup for a wireless device like the MS906BT. Does this diagnostic device have a traditional OBD cable to connect to the cars OBD port?
Hi Jack thanks great vid. just got the 906bt love it. looking for bosch j2534 to go with it ..(would I need any software to go with it) Looking forwards to more vids thanks
Manufactures spec software , PC and subscription with the OE. Each has it's own PC min specs and you need to create an account with them. Some are perform over the net others you must load software, like Ford. www.nastf.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageID=3639
First thing comes to mind is they should have a red ribbon attached to the wireless part kinda like the red tag for planes "remove before flight" At least you'd see it hanging down.
Matt Trotta I actually got some yellow caution tape that they use in construction sites and attached it to mine. It's hard to miss now. Even if I do forget it customers tend not to drive away if they see bright yellow caution hanging by their feet.
I just got my 906BT and I see that when I exit out of Diag the alarm goes off and an on screen warning pops up reminding me to unplug the VIC (i think they call it)
I’ve been debating on purchasing this one of the things I was wondering about because of course some things you read says it can and other things you read says it can’t… But if you have a vehicle that’s been in a collision and the airbag computer has had the crash information written to the EPROM… Can this reset the computer so that you do not have to purchase a new computer?
Jack, you did a good video and review of the AUTEL MaxiSys MS906BT. There is however the MS906TS which incorporates comprehensive TPMS diagnostics and programming alongside all the advanced coding functions of the MS906BT. That makes it a notch higher than the MS906BT. The MS906TS is more expensive though ! On the MaxiSys MS908P and MaxiSys Elite that both come with the J2534 Programming Box, I think the J2534 device is endorsed by BMW, Mini, Mercedes and Maybach. Flash Programming for these auto brands are supported and are part of the annual subscription or free update period. Should you have more information, kindly share. Many thanks !
Charles Okonta I agree. I flash cars on a daily basis. I use the Bosch mvci and the drew cardaq. Go on the oem websites and there aren't any I know of that have autel as a listed oem approved j2534 device. I don't flash wireless and I use a icom for bmw. I'm not at all trying to discourage anyone away from the autel but Bosch and drew technologies work very close with the oem manufacturers to make sure and eliminate issues with j2534 programming. They have for decades. When it comes to diagnostic and some programming I use autel but flashing is a frustrating process and I wouldn't trust autel with a $2,000 ecu. Just my opinion. Thank you for your input.
I own one as well , bought it from uap-napa . Had some issues, couldn't figure out how to make it print so I contacted New York and they were really good, now I can print off reports. What I can't figure out is what the red adapters are for , at first I thought it was obd1 but the software only allows you to go back to 1996. Tried it on a 93 suburban with the gm adapter but no dice. They sure look nice though !
Hey Jack i have a question. I got a friend who needs a new abs module installed will the 906bt do that procedure? Its a 09 pontiac vibe awd. Great video. Thanks jack
Hey, I'm looking to get a scan tool than is bidirectional in the next couple of months. I already have the autel md802 which can do a full system scan but lacks bidirectional control. I'm pretty sure I won't be doing a lot of programming or coding if any in the next 2-3 years. Would you recommend the ds808? It's about $400 cheaper than the ms906 and $500 cheaper than ms906bt. I'd really appreciate your input. Thanks!
Michael Cruz yea It's a great tool. You can go on autels website and check the function viewer if you need. It tells you exactly what each tool can and cannot do. If there's nothing missing that you can't lube without I would say go for it. It is an awesome tool. I've used it a few times. I do more module replacements then I do functional tests so I'm always stuck paying more.
Well after watching all of your videos I’ve enquired with an official UK dealer on a price for the 906bt I’m watching a few on eBay as well so will see what the price difference is. I guess the downside with a eBay purchase is if I have issues with the actual hardware. Software wise I can update after the one year of free updates or just buy a new tool like yourself. Could you show some of the live data and graphing data on a typical engine control module? I can’t seem to find any videos online :-( Thanks again
You briefly mentioned the Launch, could you expand on your experience with that tool for dealing with keys and general programming? I live in Israel and just bought the latest global version of the X431 straight from China... Thanks!
Thanks for the review it has me almost convinced to buy one , I am going to be rebuilding a 68rfe transmission on my 2011 ram does this tool have the trans tuning capabilities I need , I will be raising the line pressure, and also need 2 do a quick learn procedure
Trav Ratta yes . Most of the time when you buy it they give you an inspection scope free. It won't help you to modify the line pressure. Quick learn is a yes. Other then that you can calibrate tire size on that truck for speedo and shift point correction but as far as tuning and modifying the tcm it won't do it.
Watched your video and just purchased the Autel MaxiSys MS906BT as this is all I’ll need and more. Can you make a video on how to do the actual coding using the MS906BT. Specially interested in doing some coding on my 07 BMW. Thanks.
So I’ve recently bought a autel 906ts as I have an airbag light on abs also need to program another key for my 2013 Dodge Charger will it program a key for it it’s push start hopping it will spent $1700 on it it’ll be a let down if I can’t lost one key but I want to have two and will it also program a push to start key fob for a 2014 Toyota Corolla bought it with one key would love to have two
Hi Jack, thank you for the review. Maybe you can help me out, I have a Mercedes with the EIS system and need a new key programmed. Will this unit do it? If not could you point me in the right direction. Thank you
Thanks for all the videos. I am a 30 year mechanic/tech. I just recently jumped into the reflash/ program game. I bought the pass through pro 4 from snap on. I have 2 laptop's. One with Windows 7 and one with Windows 10. Looks like system requirements are different from manufactures. I reprogrammed a 2005 f350 FICM with no issues. That was my first and only one at this point. It was frustrating to get set up, to get to this point. I questioned my decision to do this, and wanted to run it all over with a dozer. Lol. What advice can you give me, so I don't waste any more time and money?. I am pretty good on the diagnostic end, with the can bus network. I have worked for Gm and Ford. For the last 15 years I work for UPS. I diagnose all of our trucks, gas and diesel. I thought this would be another good addition to my skill set. Thank you again.
Does the ms908ts model do the key programming also? I am trying to decide which I would like to have. The BT model or the TS model. I’d like to be able to diag TPMS and program TPMS sensors as well as program keys
Jack, can one make decent money as a diagnostic tech here in Cali? A little over a year ago, I was learning electronics repair but auto diagnostics caught my eye. Never really wrenched before but been getting by with a used Solus Pro/Vantage Pro, scope kit,BBB industries, and Mitchell DIY (only diag cars for people I know and only charge to cover Mitchell). So far, been having good results w/out parts changing. There's a hell of a lot to learn and some cars can be tough. Want to enroll at automotive program at my local college. Just need some real-world input from diagnostic techs who work here in Cali. Don't want to get rich, just want to learn a trade that can pay the bills. Thanks.
JJ it really depends on the market you go after . I make on average about $8,000 to $10k a month profit. I do not do work for the public. I don't just do diagnostics though. I am an airbag /safety system specialist. I do a lot of programming , electrical repairs and dash replacements . My target sales are body shops and small dealerships. There is a pretty good demand through body shops for someone who can diagnose all systems , repair wiring harnesses and replace interior parts. There is a lot to learn and the tools required are never ending. The newer the cars the more need for someone like me. Cars get wrecked and many systems such as driver assist , lane departure warning, distance sensing cruise control, airbag , g force sensors. They all need recalibrating. You can make a great living if you're willing to keep learning and are fair with your labor rates. Independent shops, body shops and insurance companies would much rather have someone come to them then have to sublet a job to a dealer. I never went to a school I started as a tech at a huge body shop and was lucky enough to get the chance to learn the new systems right as they came out along with some classes here and there I gained the skills and became confident enough to go out on my own. I've built a great route with some pretty loyal companies and make more then almost everyone I know . If your willing to keep learning, invest in some tools and hustle you can make a great living being your own boss.
Hi: Thanks for making this. For a 2003 GMC Yukon, Will the MS906BT change an ECU VIN after and used-ECU Swap? Could I also update the ECU odometer record to the vehicle actual miles? Finally, for a 97 K1500, can I change an airbag module VIN after a used-swap replacement? Thanks.
Unfortunately you can't . Gm is all online now. You have to use a pass thru and pay for sps on each vehicle. There are tools that you can get for what you want to do but the aren't any scanners that will do vin .change or calibration changes on gm vehicles. Gm doesn't store mileage in any modules except the instrament panel itself. No mileage in the ecu or bcm on gm cars. Used ecu pcms on gm vehicles only have the vin. I see people change out used pcms all the time without changing the vin and just resetting the pass lock.. you have to remember also if you have the used ecu in the vehicle already and login to sps is going to charge you for the vin it reads so always change the vin to the original in the service programming or you will be stuck paying twice.
@@jackmeyers2911 I got an answer from another source who said: Don't change the VIN because the diagnostic tools will think they're working with a different ECU based on the original VIN.
@@stephendee7839 you should always update the vin. You will run into more issues if you don't. First thing i do with a used ecu is update the vin to the vehicle. Especially in california for emission testing. It reads into directly from the ecu and an incorrect vin may cause issues with the dmv. Most smog techs verify with the door label but it can create problems.
@@jackmeyers2911 I contacted some diagnostic tool manufacturers and was *strongly* advised to leave the ECU VIN with the engine because diagnostics will use that to decide what PIDs to make available. With the wrong (motor) VIN, the diagnostic tools won't work. I live in a state without smog testing, so no issue with the DMV since they only care about the nameplate VIN, not the ECU VIN.
No it will not. I'm actually getting ready to post a few videos on airbag modules. Clearing crash data requires a whole different process and tools and most of the time removing the module. You also need access to virgin files.
I contacted Autel about purchasing a DS808K or MS906BT and they gave me the same song and dance about not being for the US market and recommended the MS906TS model "for just a few hundred extra dollars". They did say the BT was scheduled for release in the US in January. I don't really want to wait. I'm pretty much set on the MS906BT. Could You tell me who you purchased from on Amazon? And if possible, put me in touch with the rep you talked to? I'm ready to purchase this tool, but I want to make sure I will have support and that my warranty will be valid. Thanks so much.
ClaytheBMXer yea I'm not sure why they keep saying the 906bt isn't for the us market. I've used autel going on 6 years now and have never had a problem. I purchased mine from a us autel authorized dealer out of Fresno California. They are imported to the us through autel authorized dealers. Saying it's not a us market tool makes absolutley no sense since there are no differences at all In the actual tool or software no matter what region it is sent to. I will get you the info for the us support liner I called . They also confirmed what I was told. If it was imported via an authorized distributor it us covered with autel warranty and support. I think the issue is confusion not support or warranty . The us market only tools from the past do not have software for the Chinese market pre installed. All the 906bt tools I've seen actually have more vehicle software for cars not actually imported into the us like cherry , geely, and a few others. Eventually they will be shipped stripped down of the non us import vehicles. Didn't bother me one bit to have the extra vehicle manufacturers in there. You can just disable them. Bottom line (from What they told me) if it was imported to the us through an authorized dealer it's covered. My business is programming and diagnostics. To date I have scanned 313 vehicles with my bt and have had zero problems. I have to have a tool that works every day all day to keep my business going and the bt is working perfectly for me. Oh... One last thing they don't tell you is the bt actually has some pretty good coverage for most tpms systems. Sensor id registration. Fault reading . It just can't trigger or clone sensors like the tp .
Thank you for the detailed response. I agree that what they are telling me makes no sense, especially since the Autel USA website lists both of the tools I named. I agree about it not mattering that there are extra manufacturers in the tool that I will not need to use. My concern is that I can't get them to tell me in writing that it is covered. My contact with them was actually on the Autel USA facebook page, where they have posted an list of retailers and distributors. AES Wave is one of those; When contacted, they also told me that USA Authorized dealers should not be selling the BT or the DS808 because they are not for the USA market. This is one of the few on their list that actually seems to have the higher end tools. Walmart is also listed, and they have the BT online for $1329 (through auto-mart). Amazon is listed, but they specifically say that Amazon does not carry Maxisys tools, and valid tools will be shipped with prime. There are 3 different sellers on amazon with the BT for around 1250 with prime shipping. So you can see my confusion. I have not yet tried calling the Autel US sales phone number listed on the company's website. I have emailed them, but have yet to get a response. Basically, I want to buy the tool, but I'm just afraid I'm going to buy it from the wrong place. The fact that I can't get the company to give me a straight answer makes me apprehensive. If you would like to contact me via email, you can at galikcj@gmail.com. I appreciate your help.
@@ClaytheBMXer I agree completely!!! Why is there so much confusion as to whom sells what?! I know it is ALL about money, but c'mon man!!! I would like to buy the scanner as well, but I do not want to buy from the wrong place or wrong person.
Did you tried to update the scanner? Because I called the autel company they said they don't sell their scanners on Amazon and if you buy it from Amazon it must be a copy and you won't be able to update the scanner. Let me know thank you
Was all set to buy the basic 906 for $760 from my tool warehouse thinking the only difference between the BT model is the wireless feature for $1100. Then I saw this video and have to decide if I want to spring for the BT if it does more things. I just sold my 3 year old DS708 that was able to program keys so I assume the basic 906 will too. Or won't it? What else do get for $340 more?
Ati Kovi .i'm sorry it took so long for the reply. From what i know a lot of the immo features of the bt are missing from the standard 906. Along with any coding functions and chrysler vin /odometer write. It regular 906 won't do kia/hyundai variant coding. There's quite a bit if difference. The ds708 was what got autel started. From my understanding on the newer autels they created the wireless vci interfaces for advanced programming and coding. The j2534 for bmw and mercedes automated coding and the standard tools with direct cable and no vci with just standard bidirectional controls and diag. I could be wrong but i did demo the 906 and it was missing a lot compared to my maxisys mini even.
What is the difference between MS906BT and MS908 in terms of coding, adaptations, and actuations? I have Launch X431 Pro S model (2016) - does Autel have more or less programming possibilities? thanks!
Dimitry Linnik launch is good. I've used it as well. I have a launch scan pad I still use occasionally but autel does a bit more and is actually more reliable. For instance I found that variant coding for Hyundai and Kia srs control modules only works about 60% of the time with launch but has been 100% successful so far the past couple years. Just one example. Both are great tools, very similar in terms of functionality but as for me I made the switch a couple years back and wouldn't switch back.
Thanks Jack!! I sold my Lauch X431 PRO S this week and going to buy the Autel MS906 BT soon. Also, I have been in touch with official AUTEL team and they told me exactly the same as your post (that MS908 and MS906BT has the same SOFTWARE) BUT updates are priced differently and 906BT seems a better value for you money :) Also thinking about Autel MS908 PRO , but some online sources highlight undeveloped support with J2534. I see that you worked with PASS THROUGH devices! Could you elaborate your opinions on that? Thanks a lot!
Dimitry Linnik don't do it. The 908pro is a waste in my eyes. Their pass thru needs a lot of development and I do not trust wireless flashing. It's not listed as an oem approved for and manufacturers that I'm aware of and a lot of the programming autel claims is actually done through their servers and you don't want to brick a module trust me on that. The 908pro uses that bulky wireless pass thru instead of the the small bluetooth interface. It becomes a pain. For less money you can get the 906bt and a used Bosch mvci on ebay. Get yourself a laptop and only use the mvci for flashing. You can get a pass thru pro 2 or Drew box as well for a bit more. They offer a little more with the j2534 toolbox that's included like Chrysler vin and mileage rewrite but the autel 906bt will do that. I flash program every day. My main setup is the 906bt for diagnostic and minor programming like pats keys or ford module initialization and I have several lenovo laptops along with the Bosch mvci for flashing gm, Nissan, Volvo, Honda and others.
Programming/calibration PSCM power steering control module and torque sensor on 2006 chevy malibu or newer. I just ordered this model but there are not any clear instructions as how to do this for a DYI... that would be a awesome video to see or instructions. Thanks for your time
Toyota Ron from what I have found yes. If you have a key already programmed to the car it will add keys on most American and asian cars. it does not read pincodes or skc. If you have an all keys lost situation you will need access to security codes to program.
Thanks for the reply. I know you're trying to make a living with this tool, but if you get a job with a key or FOB registration would you consider video taping it? I use the Techstream to do Toyotas at work, I'm curious how this performs that operation.
Murle Campbell they used to come all the time. I've noticed the updates have slowed down. Maybe monthly now. I've also noticed most of the glitches in the software from the past are gone and most manufactures work perfectly now. Most of the updates lately are adding features for older models not new models. I think the better autel gets the less frequent the updates will become. It's getting close to what I would consider the best all around tool.
I didn't see updates on my new unit too.. However, after accessing the Car manfucaturer icon in diagnostics, then it would show the update.. You have to try to click and try to acceses makers you want updates for. Then you will go into the updates and see current updates for the makers you have selected.
drone1028 I'll give you a complete walk through when I get home. there is a setting to remove old versions of updated software . You can delete any makes including current versions on vehicles you don't need and it takes them out of the dianostic makes menus. The only thing is they always show up on available updates list when you check but the software isn't in the vehicle diagnostics list .
Toyota Ron i did the Toyota and a Honda today. Ill get the videos uploaded later tonight. Also just wanted to say I do use this tool to make my living but i also have techstream, Honda hds, gm gds2 and a lot of other oem tools and subscriptions. The reason I made this video is because when I first started in all this there wasn't a lot of options for programming and immobilizers except buying oem tools. The otc and snap on tools years ago just didn't have many options for anything other then basic diagnostics. The autel software almost word for word is the same as each manufacturer. I hardly ever grab my oems anymore unless I'm changing modules that this tool doesnt cover. I was just trying to help the average mechanic realize you don't have to buy the expensive oem programs , subscriptions and interfaces anymore to do 98% of what you will need to.
OK, thanks for the reply. I do appreciate your effort to show us what this can do compared to factory tools, I was hesitant to ask for a specific video because I do realize they take time away from making a living with the tool. Again, thanks for your effort.Where would you suggest getting one of these? I saw in another of your posts you mentioned a supplier in Fresno, would that be AES? I didn't see this model in their website?
Sorry for the delay. I got the video of the camry key add posted. Also if you look on Amazon you can find it shipped from Fresno. Ill look for the supplier right now. Amazon is pretty safe because there is a no hassle return policy if you're not happy with it.
Another benefit of Amazon is you can get the 12 month no interest payments with the Amazon store card. I'll take a look for the supplier you mentioned from Amazon. Thanks!
I was nervous of the need for the BT adapter and the unit not having a hard wired connection..so I opted for the regular 906 :( If something happened with the BT adaptor I would be screwed. What's everyone's thoughts on that?
samson2143 the regular 906 is a good option. You lose some coding , programming and bidirectional controls but if you don't do much programming and do mostly diagnostics its an awesome tool. Believe me you don't want to lose the bt adapter. I have never because I have a long stand of caution tape attached to it and the couple times i forgot it the customer got worried when they saw the caution and called me right away.
Jack Meyers I am also interested in the Ms 906, I see you mentioned that some bi-directional controls would be lost, can give some examples of what would be lost and all that it has, thanks.
James L I have had them all. I won't personally use the snap on. I was a fan of them for a long time but there updates are happy or biyearly. I don't care for them. Autel 1/3 the price 10 times the tool. Launch is a good tool as well but I own a mobile diagnostic / programing business and the autel is the tool I use for 90% of everything I do.
thanks Jack , I have a problem can you do a video on how I can program my key fob on my 2013 Dodge charger, I replace the battery and now it's doesn't open or close my doors, or remote start as well, very appreciative if you can help me.
