🚗 Autel MaxiCOM MK808BT: Advanced Car Diagnostic Scan Tool with 25+ Services, ABS Bleed, Oil Reset, SAS, DPF, and more – 2021 Upgraded Version! Review

I'm not a professional mechanic and have spent most of my experience fixing family cars on a tight budget. I thought long and hard about how to get such a tool and which one to use. After reading the reviews and watching the video I finally decided to go for it. The setup wasn't terrible - it took a while to figure out the setup and updates. It took me a while to learn the tool, but I'm happy with the ease of use so far. It's quite an initiative on how to navigate features and get data. I was…

I work as a home mechanic on my 2001 BMW 330xi. I bought this Autel MaxiCOM MK808BT scanner because the Bluetooth scanner I was using and the Bosch scanner failed to fix an airbag issue after replacing the rear window motor assembly. I used this scanner and was able to reset the error. I had a few more issues with the car - ABS light on dash, rough idle, ignition coil and more. This code reader helped me a lot with troubleshooting. It is very well built and did what I hoped it would. It has a…

I bought MK808BT for ABS Auto Bleed on my 2004 Dodge Ram 3500. At first he did not fulfill this task. After several messaging sessions and two new scanner updates, it did exactly what I needed. Vincent's customer service and Autel's engineers exceeded my expectations. This scan tool connects to a Wi-Fi signal to perform updates. When I had an issue, Autel was able to control the scanner remotely over a Wi-Fi connection. This allowed them to make sure I didn't miss anything. They were also able…

I love doing everything by hand because as a woman garages will always try to convince you that something is wrong with the car, the original problem that They had. I recently drove 95,000 miles on my 2013 Honda Civic and the ABS/VSA/SRS/SAS lights started flickering. I take it to the dealer and they say it's an ABS modulator. Yes of course. We swapped it out and I drove about 15 miles and bam the lights are back. I return it and they claim it's something else. I spent a lot of time with the…

I bought this scan tool because I really needed to start using bi-directional steering to work with vehicles. Reading the product page it seemed like it had bi-directional capabilities, but after getting the tool I realized that there actually aren't any, or maybe they only work on certain select vehicles. For what this tool does, it does it well, but I think the product page inflates its capabilities. It's more of a simple real-time data/code reading tool. When I bought it, the item name was…

the kind of diagnostics I wanted and the services you can do other than just reset the code and turn off the engine light. I have a few cars that I've been wanting to use this on, but I really wanted one that can do forced diesel regeneration on my 2012 Ford F250 because I don't drive it in the way it needs to clean the DPF. I get the typical warnings and threats about reduced performance and speed and eventually just idling, so I like to be able to force this from time to time. I also wanted…

It's been a year since I bought the MK808BT and I have to say it's kind of on the border between good and not. Full disclaimer that I am in no way a professional mechanic. I'm more of an enthusiast so keep that in mind for this review. What I like about the MK808BT is that software updates over the year have somewhat improved the performance of this tool (increased its speed, etc.). It's still pretty slow with communication, but things have improved a bit and new vehicle support is added from…
