Review on Autel MaxiCOM MK808: 2021 Newest OBD2 Car Diagnostic Scanner with 25+ Maintenance Functions and All System Diagnosis by Phil Morales

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Required product as required

This is my first attempt at an OBD2 scanner. Especially if it comes from a reputable company in the industry. The device has many options and scans/tests. There are 2 main options where the device will automatically scan all error codes for a specific model. You do not need to be connected to the network during the scan. This happens offline. I just bought a used car and wanted to try the device to see if there are any problems. This initially led to approx. 5 error/error codes. I used the quick delete option to verify whether these issues are rare historical fixes or not. The device quickly erased them and then I changed the scan and it was only able to find 1 fault code present which I used to investigate further. The scanner has a simple function to automatically search the Internet for the error code. You can easily find many explanations for the error and ways to deal with it. For some reason the scanner didn't show my mobile hotspot when I tried to connect. And I managed to connect only Wi-Fi. I suggest checking out the different features of the scanner as you may feel overwhelmed. However, it's based on Android and isn't really that different from any regular tablet you use. As soon as you connect the device for the first time, it will display various updates related to the system and specific car models. I downloaded system updates and updates only for the car models I was interested in as there were a lot of updates. The device is so handy and useful. It covers many car brands including German cars. If you do a lot of work with used cars, this is a really important product that can save you money by detecting potential vehicle problems. She. Overall this is a great product and it comes with a free 1 year subscription.
