Autel MK808BT Wireless Automotive Diagnostic Scanner

I have a variety of scan tools that I use frequently. I have an Xtool, a GearWrench, a few different Launch tools and a Kingbolen. Most of these claim to have more service functions than my Autel. This is not the case on my Gm and Ford vehicles. The Autel was far faster than the others. The Autel also has better features than the others. I really appreciate the expandable memory because I record a lot of live data and read codes. I can then back all the read codes and live data into files on my pc to keep organized. The Autel has always auto identified all my vehicles and the assortment of vehicles I frequently service. The usability is great. It easily reads codes and clear codes. It has must better accuracy on the graphs than all my other scan tools. It’s also a one and done on every job it performs. My Xtool d8s seems to have a hard time relearning the crank position sensor. It would say everything was completed but it was not. The Autel has better guidance than the other scanners. It walked you through the relearns. It performs the needed jobs quickly, easily and effectively. I do a decent amount of custom tuning and the use the scan tools to relearn CPS and fuel trims so it adapts quickly. What I appreciate most about the Autel is how easy it is to use. It guides you through some functions. It also provides the live data in a accurate manner as well as defines what the normal range on many sensors for quick and easy diagnosis of sensors. This is super handy with GM vehicles because the the factory range is huge, so even if they on their way out , the scan tool will make it easier to identify and replace weak sensors and really get your vehicle dialed in. If I could only have one tool, it would be my Autel. It’s insanely accurate graphing of live data and easy of use really sets Autel apart from the competitors.

I work in auto body and these scan tools are pretty much mandatory anymore. I got tired of always having to borrow one so I did some research on these ones and decided to try it out. It's worked on every vehicle iv connected it to including brand new 2024 GM and Toyota vehicles which I commonly work on. I can diagnose easily any system that is having trouble codes and I can control any module in the vehicle to actively test them such as Windows or door locks or even convertible tops with what ever sensors available telling me what they are currently doing. Great tool and naturally depending on manufacturer of the vehicle will depend on how friendly it is to find what you need but if you do enough work in the automotive field you know where to look for what you need. Iv compared it to a scan tool that values at over $8000 and this scanner was able to do most everything that one could. I would have had to go up to the next model to truly match the expensive one but it has features I dont actually need such as programming tpms, but it is nice to know that is available if I needed it. But worth the price for what it is capable of. The last note is it is also capable of wifi printing the reports which is a huge bonus for my work. They look professional and they are easy to read and you can even set up the header for your company and contact information. You can even set it up so that the customer information is available and attached to each work order that you scan. All you need is a wifi printer attached to the same wifi as your scanner and that's it to set it up to print reports. Just a side note on this, it does not read Tesla vehicles. You will have to find a Tesla specific scanner for that. They are very protective of their products, so finding a scanner for one is kinda difficult, but I believe I have seen one.

As a result of my inquiry to Autel's customer service, the MK808BT Pro came recommended by Autel for the Dodge Grand Caravan I was thinking of purchasing. Their customer service was outstanding, consistently replying with thorough answers to my questions. The unit arrived well packed in a nice carrying case. I had no issues connecting the MK808BT Pro tablet to the wifi at home (2.4 gHz), registering it (a requirement), and letting it complete the over 70 updates via wifi. This took 1-2 hours to perform (xfinity speed). But you can pick just the updates you need if you are in a hurry. There were only 2 or 3 required system updates as I recall and those took just a few minutes. The remainder were all the latest updates for the makes of vehicles Autel supports (Europe and NA). The bluetooth data link transmitter is a nice feature - no wires - and it has a blue LED to let you know it is plugged into the vehicle's data link port and powered. I chose to have the tablet/scan tool read the VIN automatically, which it did and had the correct vehicle type within a few seconds. I then used the diagnostics to pull up the engine data while the engine was running to view the cam values. Since I just purchased the Grand Caravan, I was eager to check the cam timing targets vs actual. Within a minute, I found the data! The screen is bright and easy to read too. The MK808BT Pro reads a lot of data points. Pages of data! It was quite dazzling considering I've only owned one other scanner from the OBD1 days. I also checked for any stored codes along with the number of key-on cycles afterward. The only one it found (air conditioning related) made sense based on the service I had the seller perform prior to purchase. Since my Grand Caravan is from 2015, it is a non FCA vehicle. So, I won't really need the annual Autel subscription. But if I need or choose to have an update done at a later time after the 1 year period ends, Autel will provide it for a (discounted) fee. I know there is some bi-directional capability with this unit too. I just haven't had the need to try that feature yet. For the DIY home mechanic, this is an excellent scanner! And the information and assurance this product provides, it is well worth the price in my opinion. Thanks Autel.

Shipment to fast and the product is very very good 100% satisfied I did used all ready in Lexus and Toyota it's great

If you are looking for a diagnostic scanner that can do all the tests and diagnostics for your car or your shop, the Autel MK808BT PRO is the perfect tool. Easy to operate, this scanner is a sturdy tool, and comes with a charging adaptor and all the cables you need tu use it the moment you receive it. The AutoAuth for FCA vehicules is even included. The first time, you have to login to AutoAuth, but after that the scanner will do it automatically, as long as you are connected to Internet. The carrying case is solid and well made. The Bluetooth VCI (Vehicule Communication Interface) works flawlessly and is, to my opinion, a must. The customer service is beyond all expectations. After you buy their product, they will communicate with you to make sure you are satisfied and offer any help you might need. You can’t go wrong with this tool, just buy it, you won’t regret it. I strongly recommand this product.

I bought this unit primarily to fix my 2001 Mercedes E320 4Matic Sedan which had an EPS light on while the car was in limp mode. My car has 2 obd ports, obd ii port under the steering wheel and benz obd 1 port in the engine bay fuse box. What's impressive about this scan tool is, it automatically detected the VIN and then a screen poped asking whether you have connected to 38 pin port for full system diagnosis or 16 pin for only ECU diagnosis. Then only I realised the difference between two ports. I bought an Autel 38 pin benz connector (it has to be Autel and connectors from other brands will not work- I tried with a Launch connector) and the whole car was scanned beautifully. Showed an error code related to throttle body. Showed all live data properly, it had sensor adaptations and relearn functions related to ECU. Turned out it was a wiring issue. Fixed it and did sensor initialization and wolah!! Car is running beautifully. I have a passenger weight sensor error code in airbag module, but this scanner will not calibrate the weight sensor. There was only DTC read, clear and live data in air bag module. Another impressive thing is that their customer service is really good and replied to me promptly. They also sent me an inspection camera which plugs into the scanner as a gift worth about 80CAD, which is really nice. I also scanned a 2013 Kia Rio and that went well too. Performance of the tablet is ok and data refreshes quickly enough. Touch screen and battery are ok but they could certainly be better.

Great product

I'm a self-employed mechanic servicing quite a number of cars weekly, and this scanner helps me out literally every day! It has lots of service functions for a huge number of makes and models, ensuring fine settings for every vehicle. It shows the data hidden for other scanner brands, so that no critical or erased event would go unnoticed. That's definitely a very good value for money! I would recommend it to every mechanic - from beginners to professionals, and the return on the investment will be very fast!
