Review on 🔍 Autel AutoLink AL519 OBD2 Scanner: Enhanced Code Reader with Smog Check, DTC Breaker, and Upgraded Ver. AL319 by Mike Davan

Just what I need to read codes from our '14MB G550 and '15 Honda Fit. Tested and the tool contacted these two vehicles. I haven't had any issues, but I made this purchase to diagnose my cousin's 10 year old Lexus RX350. He found the error code and interpreted the fix. Replaced O2 sensor, cleared code and everything was back to normal. This Autel 519 costs $65. The replacement part (Denso 234-4509 oxygen sensor) was $72. My cousin bought the part and shared the cost of the scanner. He saved $340 from the dealer (a Lexus in our area is $125 an hour). They charged him $450 for parts and labor. It took us both about 3 hours to do this install, plus clean the engine bay, change the oil/filter, rearrange the tires, change the cab air filter, change the front brake pads and bleed the brakes! Even though my work was FREE we enjoyed the rest of the day and drank some 6 packs of my favorite diet beer! Seller ships from Texas. as indicated in the listing. Although there is no mention of Prime, it arrived in two days! The AL519 costs a few dollars more than other Autel models, but they won't make the improved Mode6 that most new European cars now have. I like the color screen and the "beep" feature when you press the buttons. Gives a "professional" feel when performing diagnostics. The included cable is more than enough to easily get from any OBDII port to the driver's seat. As with most scanners, the principle of operation is similar: without starting the engine, turn the key to the "Start" position (or press the "Start" button to start the mode without using the brake), and Autel will start with the exchange of data with the CPU of the car after pressing the appropriate button in the menu! Described as "used like new". However, it came with the original box, instruction manual, storage pouch and matching cables (2). IMHO, this is new! The original protective film remains on the device. No markings anywhere. It's like nobody touched him. I have highly recommended YIT-BathroomOutlet as one of Revain's trusted sellers. UPDATE: Installed LED DRLs on a 2015 Honda Fit and originally used a factory DRL security assembly (#25). This caused all the lights to come on and the instrument cluster to close. Autel saved the codes and showed U0155 (Dashboard Communication Lost). Clear the code and scan again. There are no more codes and all yellow warning lights are off. As a time saver, this tool also saves $ from going to the dealer for diagnosis. UPDATE 2: Just diagnosed our nephew's 2002 MBenz C240 van. It had a check engine light on. The reason is a defective tank cap!
