TPMS Autel MaxiCOM MK808TS Demo & Review 

Maybe you'll be able to do it with your SmartPhone soon lol!

He didn't show me anything I didn't already know about it. I was hoping to learn a few new things. You can actually get that number directly off of your old sensor even if the battery is dead. Another way you can do it is pull it from the ECU on your vehicle by hooking the OBD2 in. This guy here didn't seem to know a lot about this. Why in the heck would they give this to somebody like him. I highly doubt he caused anyone to buy it. 😊😊😅😮😅😂😂

Can you program any new toms sensors with this or does it need to have autel sensor?

right on!! many cant afford these priceless tools. very pricey indeedly

So the mk808ts is bidirectional right? Im looking into buying one. I take it you own one?

I have TS608 and it appears identical to both MK808TS and MX808TS from Autel's descriptions and specs. Not bi-directional except the TPMS and a few service functions on the service tab (for limited models). The 906TS is the full bi-directional variant as far as I can tell. Pricing also seems to indicate that. The TS608 works well enough. I think every tool ends up with some glitch here or there as they cover so many makes, models, and functions. There are probably cases where an elite, expensive tool can't read something that a properly programmed ELM app can do :) I will say that Autel and Launch (and probably others) would do everyone a favor by simplifying their confusing product arrays.

Hi Mike! Yeah this is a very slick solution, and the sensors aren't expensive. Technology keeps moving forward!

Thanks, Michael!

uh oh time to buy more toys for the shop, Dan!

I'm wanting one but I need a tire machine or to set a deal with local tire shop to make it worth my while. Wish I could find a DIY tire machine plans. I know how to weld and also have access to a welding machine and a welding friend to.

haha have fun!

Not sure Juergen, never tried Mode 8...

Did the display message change after sensor replacement? Sounds like just the normal message, not tire-specific :) Read the owner's manual!

Yes

I think that Autel wins in the bang-for-the buck department...like the MaxiDas808.

That machine in particular always over-estimates by a few psi :)

you can think about the possibility of throwing it away

You want the MaxiSYS with bidirectional controls :)

The sensor was most likely good. With this tpms sensor, the stem is integrated with the sensor. There are some tpms sensors that do have interchangeable stems.

10 years on my 07 tundra almost to the day first light to come on in 185k never a cel

ycmdill only ten huh lol that’s a good battery if you ask me

Never mind video just answered my ??’s

This is the cheaper version, but can do TPMS :)

Diagun 4 has been awesome for me the hardware is meh but the software is OMG for $500 ish bucks it has crazy functionality for that price

@@jwilkers1 does it have bi directional controls?

@@themechanic6117 yeah it has a ton of bi-directional controls I can do basically anything the bcm can command on my wife's '15 town and country. I've used it on everything from Toyota, Mini Cooper, Volvo, Chevy basically anything coming in the shop and it has been awesome. The downsides are that the battery is not strong so extended sessions will drain it faster than you would think/want the software is kinda locked down in that I can't add more stuff when I got it I was disappointed at first because I wasn't using it on vehicles but as soon as I started using it everyday I was hooked. It has basically the same functionality as my full-size Autel that was over $2000. Also if you're savvy with Android I believe there is a way to Port the software to another android device that would have better battery and the Google play store for apps. To me this tool is worth the $500 bc it kept me from buying a full sized launch and my Autel screen has gone to crap after 2 years and Autel USA won't help me at all so while it could be better the software on that little tool is what really sells it. If you look for Keith Perkins' channel he has several videos on it as well.

@@jwilkers1 thank you. I just ordered one 👍

Michael Mowery yes

I think there is just one receiver in the dash

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics So in a crew cab pickup, the sensor might be 10 feet from the dashboard. I had a TPS fault show up when I parked in a parking lot today. The right front didn't read but after leaving the parking lot it cleared up. I wonder if I parked near a vehicle with the same code as my right front wheel. I see they have systems for semis so they can read from some distance.

Interesting. Each sensor should have its own unique ID so the computer doesn't get confused, but duplicate IDs are possible.

@@tiredoldmechanic1791 When you park after so long they go to sleep. Some wake up sooner than others so once you get rolling they may start reading later. You may have one going bad but check your air pressure as especially where I live in South Dakota it's rather cold and it got that way fairly quick before I could get my automotive work I wanted to get done finished. Need to clean my garage or find someone to pour concrete footings, forms, driveway & slabs and hire the Hutterites to come frame it in a day or two then I can get working big time indoors with the 2 1/2 - 3 bays depth I'll be adding with a car lift in my garage at house. Was gonna do it myself but if I sub it out and get done quicker I can get to recouping my costs that much sooner I'd say.

@@dtnel This came on as I pulled into the parking spot before the wheels stopped rolling. Haven't had any trouble since then.

It does has some but not all.

I seen Mike Becker on a live Trained by Techs video. He's hibernating

They got bought by NGK?

John C, Mike has been working on videos promoting NGK. Check out the youtube channel " ngksparkplugsusa ".

I was thinking of getting the Wells TPMS tool, but when I found out that ngk bought Wells it got me thinking

Mike Burton. Thanks Mike, found Mike Becker videos there.

Yeah I have before. I had to visit my friend's shop anyways and he has a nice tire machine :)

Truck Mechanic do you use this particular TPMS tool I have a Barteq and getting ready to upgrade would this be best for TPMS stuff

Darrell Asbury,,,,Barteq has been one of the very best for TPMS and for many makes it was the OEM tool BUT it is/was very pricey!!😳😳😳😳,, after you learned how to use it and how TPMS works you got pissed about the price of the tool.. Autel’ started making and selling tools for TPMS and took the market with there 1/3 of the price of any TPMS tool out there😲😲😲 and works as good or better.. I will stay with Autel for TPMS Work.. But like any tool you really need to stay up to date with the problems and tools.. Autel has a very good Online web site and easy to use and navigate.. And NO Autel does not or every paid me or given me anything.. It’s a good tool hands down for the cost..

Great point. The Geo is a solid little car, minus the weak rocker panels. It's rattly and the interior creaks but it just keeps on trucking! Seats are surprisingly soft and comfortable, as many were back in the 90s :) BTW 1991 All-Track 5 speed sounds SWEEEET! All of those rusted away a long time ago in my neck of the woods....

Ivan: One thing I have noticed over the years on my All-Trac wagon,maybe contaminates were in the cleansing/E-coat Primer baths....or maybe Mr. Nakamichi,etc. (D:) left the doors open to allow that salty Pacific Ocean Breeze to cool the Body-assembly/Paint portion of the Plant....the Corolla will occasionally develop rust stains on the strut towers,rockers,etc. With that being said simple washing removes the stains along with constant hot-soapy power-washing to eliminate corrosion from forming. Road salt is used where I live(many time sodium-rich volcanic gravel )....but the car has zero rust....original owner and I have never allowed salt to stay on any part of the entire vehicle for very long....so even if you live in a "rust belt "region like I do.....a car will only rot away if you allow it to.

Hi Dale, I'm also dreaming of an addition to my small garage! Email is ivan@pinehollowdiagnostics.com

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics so did a little talking with Autel via Facebook yesterday and gave them this model number that you reviewed. Told them I was thinking about getting it and asked if it would be supported. They said it is not a USA region device so it would not be supported but they gave me an alternate model number which would be the ts608 and pointed me to the AES wave.com website and said they are one of the web retailers that sell USA region scan tools. I guess there is a gray area when it comes to support down the road that if you don't have one for the USA region it'll be tough to get support for so they told me and I can provide copies of the conversation if needed because it has me a little flustered scratching my head right now. So anyway I spoke with AES web and they gave me a couple options for what I was looking at well then I got looking around and it appears that JB tools has certain ones and they actually say USA supported but then when I sent autel a message asking them if JB tools was a USA region distributor they said well you should call them and ask them as if something is going on here it seems. I hope they're not drying to drive traffic to one website because yes when I checked on the AES wave.com site there autel scan tools are more expensive than the ones on J B tools which doesn't make sense. Unfortunately when I went in to cancel my order it showed that it hasn't shipped yet so I clicked cancel and within five minutes I get a message from Amazon saying that it couldn't be canceled so when it arrives today I have to refuse delivery on it and return it. I'm waiting for JB tools to get a certain one back in stock or I may go with the ts608 and then go at the J box separately as I would still be money cheaper plus I have my other scan tool. The whole purpose of going with something like the ts608 would be why buy a Snap-On branded TPMS tool for 800 when I can get the ts608 for $525 and then still have 300 left over to go towards a jbox which is $700 cheaper than Snap-on if you buy the autel brand. let this be a word of warning check around out there for what you are going to buy for those looking and call the seller up and make sure it is a USA region scan tool that way if your screen goes out which I've heard is coming or you need support you can get it a few years down the road which you can't get with the world region ones as well at least or so they say
