Sharing the use experience of Autel MD802 Scanner
Sharing the use experience of Autel MD802 Scanner The Autel MD802 Scanner tool
does more than any other scan tool on the market. I've used scan tools from
Innova, Actron, OBDLink and other companies, and they don't even come close to
the usability and functionality of this tool. You can do live scans,
make-specific scans MD4MyCar,
generic scans, scan on the power train module, transmission module, ABS module,
body module and more. I've done scans on 1998 Volkswagens through 2013 Audis and
it has NEVER failed me. I've probably scanned 50 different cars from the USA,
Europe and Asia in the 7 months that I've had this and it is by far the most
thorough tool on the market. It catches things that don't even show up on the
highest-priced Innovas (even if you use their over-priced make-specific flash
modules.) This tool uses software from the MaxiDAS, which many pro mechanics
use, so what you're essentially getting is the scan capabilities of the MaxiDAS
without the bi-directional capabilities. I was fortunate enough to purchase this
right when it came out and was priced around $220. It's since gone up in price
significantly launch
x431 gds gasoline, but knowing what I know about this tool, it's still worth
what they charge. Now that I'm using the Autel MD802 Scanner, I wish I hadn't
bought the OBDLink OBD-II USB Scan Tool Interface Adapter (425101), which after
spending some costs on the tool and the pro-upgraded software, actually ended up
costing me quite a bit more. The OBDLink and the pro software only churn out
generic info and so much less capable than the Autel MD802 Scanner, that it
never leaves the cart anymore. The Autel MD802 Scanner finds issues that you
will never find using a generic tool, including factory Bluetooth issues, lock
switch problems, factory-specific ABS faults, etc. It lets you clear just about
every code your ECU can come up with. This is a very important feature since on
some makes, such as Hyundai, you need to clear the codes after you do the fix or
the car will continue to think there's a fault and it will not work properly
until the code is manually cleared. This is now becoming a common thing with
manufacturers since they want you to take your car to a dealership, where it
costs $120 just to use a factory tool to clear a code, which only takes a couple
of minutes. In this regard alone, the MaxiDiag paid for itself after about four
uses. For the sake of full disclosure, I was having a problem updating my scan
tool the first time I tried Autel's Auto Update software. It was admittedly my
fault, since I didn't follow the instructions in the manual exactly as written.
I got in touch with Autel customer service and they fixed it in a day. You can't
ask for more than that. The updates have been super easy to do and as of today,
I'm running V2.0 of all the makes. There are 47 different makes represented on
this tool, if I recall correctly, including Dacia ("GOOD NEWS!"), GM, Ford, Ford
(Europe), Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Holden, Ferrari, Lancia, Chrysler, Suzuki,
Fiat, Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen, Honda, etc. etc. etc. I can't really think of
anything bad to say about this tool. It's easy to use, professional grade and to
be honest, when you compare it to the next closest thing out there that has the
same capabilities.
