- The not so impressed diagnostic scan tool review. This Diagnostic Scan Tool has some many features that it almost has too many features. Which kills the boot up time, ask's too many questions before even entering the diagnostic suite where you can view live data. I couldn't believe how incredibly slow this thing is. Like I said in the video it's got a lot of features and benefits, but maybe it's too much technology for this Autel to keep up with. I give it a 2.5 star rating out of 5.Amazon Affiliate Links Below:

This tool does more than most scan tools on the market. Speaking from a Master Tech who owns several scan tools and uses them daily.
Good to know. Thank you for sharing your experience. Any particular scan tool you favor over the others?
This tool has a mechanical issue the mechanic using it has no clue
Hi Justin, I like your videos and have always followed you but you are wrong about this tool. You had problems bcuz you didn't know the options to select. You should have selected Auto ID on the Diagnostic screen which would have save you those extra questions. Furthermore, after the Auto Scan has been completed, you just select Report to see the DTCs that were found. Also, SAS is for Steering Angle Sensor and not Airbag. I have been using this tool for about 2 years now and I looooove it bcuz it does a lot. If you had done a little bit of research about it and play with it a little bit before the review, you would have given a much better review and your perspective about it would have been different. So I suggest you go back and try out what I just said about the tool.
I will try it out on my Mercury Mariner today. Thanks for your feedback.
Before buying this scanner I watched just about every CZcams video that I could find on this particular scanner, once I received it, I was kind of familiar with how to use it. Awesome tool!
I agree.
How can you do a review after only playing with it for 5 minutes
This dude doesn't have a clue..
@ 8:03 Says it all lmao
@@justinl4 this dumb ass has no business buying a 2 thousand dollar lmao
I recently got the ms906bt it's better then the shop tool, more features etc...... This guy is a joke
Yeah, as soon as it was obvious that he had just turned it on for the first time and had absolutely no idea what the fuck he was looking at, this is not a review, this is a "I just got this and look how confused I got with it" video. More information online in the pamphlet then there was in this video. Matter of fact there's a lot more information online in their pamphlet then there is in this video like all the shit that it can do, how to do it, so forth and so on.
Dude, I would take the video down. You're not doing yourself any favors, and you're not doing anybody else any favors..
@@djwilson48625 agree 100% imagine having to work next to that dudes bay. At one point we all had to hear that whining and/or cringe when looking back at our 16yo self. When I hear someone whining in my shop over an inanimate object Im compelled to rush over and help, just to shut them up. Most of the time they are oblivious to the fact that I basically did it to shove a pacifier in their mouth. Some get it and learn. Dude sounds like a lube tech.
The reason the scan tool ask all those questions is so that it looks for certain modules or components. Fords IDS ask questions too. Like those car have Navi, Radar, and lane keeping. Like your videos. Thanks for sharing
It should pick all those up in the auto scan though... that how the xtool works
Awesome video always look forward to them. Just woundering if you could do a video on the different styles of torque wrenches im looking at buying one but they have a couple different styles. The click type then ive seen one that's flat instead of round then digital and matco has one where you use a normal ratchet with it and if you could a video on if mid size sockets are worth it. Thank you cheers 🍻
I actually do have a video that I've done based on not only my thought of torque wrench's, but the digital style that I picked up from snap-on. Check them out if you get the chance and let me know if you need more information. Cheer!
Thanx got the review was planning on getting one. Not anymore
I'm not saying you guys are wrong but I've used alot of dealer tools and after market tools and autel is a really good brand however you need to learn the system like every other tool. It is user friendly especially if your computer inclined. I love autel but Im a diagnostic tech and work with many brands outside of ford and Lincoln
Justin, you can hit a different auto-id button and it will bypass that stuff or if you just want to go into one specific module, u dont have to go through a complete code scan. You can also go in OBD Direct or Global and that would be much quicker, you did it pretty much the longest way possible by pulling up all the modules that vehicle had. Just a heads up, good review tho.
Trying the new Autel tools from the 909 to the ultra you will be blown away
What would be a comparable tool that you would recommend that doesnt have some of the negatives you pointed out? Thank you, great video.
I thought it was interesting how closely it mirrors the GM scan tool in the questions it asks you about the vehicle as well as the option it gives you for bi-directional control. I felt like I could tell you what your next screen was going to say because it was so accurate to using the GM tools at the dealership. And yes the OE tools can take an eternity to do those same functions as well.
I would be interested to know if you have the same complaints and if it asks the same questions on a non gm or non gm truck. Also our snapon does not ask those questions on our trucks for the auto scan but also doesnt even have half the options in the menus for testing either.
Shawn B True. It was packed with features that’s for sure. GM Specifically ask’s these types of questions on the factory scan tool? Maybe I plug it into my mariner for shits and gig’s. I still think it’s a little too busy for what I was hoping on. The Maxisys (an older post) was a lot faster it seemed. The Again it was tested on my Mercury Mariner.
@@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway yes on that series of truck it does ask those exact questions.
It takes just as long with a snapon zeus, or verus. Oh and price... Snapon updates for 1 year are arount one of these units
Welcome to 2021, where you can't even watch a scan tool review video without having to wear headphones.
People, don’t put a lot of stock into this clickbait title and this guy if you are looking at this scan tool. There’s nothing in a comparable price range that has this tools capability and it is not anywhere near as slow as this guy makes it out to be. It’s not the best ever, but it’ll do more than most and as much as far more expensive tools. First video I’ve seen of this guy, and it will be the last for me.
Agreed.
I’ve got the Solus Ultra, was looking to get another scanner, I think may go towards the Launch now. Thanks for the review
The Autel is better then launch, I use both side by side everyday. Don't listen to this tool
I'm looking to get a new scan tool if you do not like this one what one do you like I've heard a lot of really good thing about the 906 parrot are you primary Just a Snap-on scanner fan? Or do you have other scanners that you can recommend.
f I buy autel maxsys906 from Amzon can i use in any country or should I buy it from local dealer to avoid the pan because different IP address?
anyone know how it works on domestic transmission, like service reset for gm 6l80e, 8l90e, Ford 6r80e, ram 68rfe ? I mainly rebuild transmissions and looking for something else to try and compare to my solus scanner
Very good, thanks
Love the channel but the review wasn't so great. I own this scanner and it's very fast and feature packed . If you can trying using it for a while to familiarize yourself with it.
I except your premise; However, for those of us that are not so computer savy that work in a very busy shop waiting 6-9 minutes before I can access the vehicles computer to pull a code or view live data. This tool takes way too long. It may have a lot of features that others may find extremely beneficial, but I have seen and used other scan tools that can do just as much or slightly less in less than half the time. For this reason I am giving it 2.5 stars. It's not that user friendly. That's just my opinion. Glad your still enjoying your product. Cheers!
@@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway 6-9 minutes? I can boot mine up, do a full system scan, and be looking at live data to performing my diagnosis in just a few minutes time.
Maybe it's a software issue with this one then. I don't know. I just know that's what I'm seeing. I'm going to be trouble shooting an EGR Code today and using the EGR Duty Cycle percentage test as well as load testing the circuit using a DVOM to see what I can expect from a known good EGR solenoid. I'll post it today and see if changing vehicles changes the way I feel about the tool and boot up time.
I also owned the maxisys mini and used it for 3 years before this one. It was just as fast. I agree it's not user friendly but only for inexperienced scan tool users. My old snap on modis or zues are more user friendly but definitely not as fast as my autels. If you've used alot of different factory and aftermarket scan tools it's not to hard to use.
See My experience has been just the opposite. My solus boots up really fast and is very user friendly, but lacks a lot of the capabilities that this Autel one has. That being said yes I agree the Verus is also really slow and often times when the software is out of date the scan tool starts having more glitchs then any other tool I have used. I have also found that with Snap-On some times it can not see battery voltage and will not connect and a cheap $20 pocket reader connects no problem. It's all in experience. I still looking and hope to try out many other scan tools in during my search for something that is user friendly and has a bi-directional functions. A lab scope would be nice, but not necessary. I can always get a Pico Scope down the road.
If your going to do resets mostly use the mx808 its way cheaper and does the service functions with 90% most car lines.
If only the 808 allowed ABS/ECM initialization... That's what's pushing me to upgrade to the 906. Agreed that it's a great tool however - confused about seeing a poor review on 906 as it is extremely capable.
All the questions are a GM thing. GDS2 the gm factory scan tool asks the same questions about radio, gvwr, etc
Wife beats him up at home. Takes frustration on the poor scanner.
I’ve had three of these Autel scanners over the years. It’s not the tool that’s slow. Plug it in to a BMW f15 x5 and see the difference. It’s a great tool in the right hands
Good video showing the tool and appreciate your honesty! It honestly looks like it has the exact same function and options as my Launch but the software is laid out a little differently. I have to answer all those silly questions too, but hey sometimes I can talk to modules the other guys in the shop can't with their snap ons!
I have heard good things about launch. I was actually thinking that the 431mini Tablet might be a good option, but I have to save up for one. I would prefer to get one that programs vehicles, but that is just a bonus option. A lab scope would be a nice addition; However as we discussed during our live stream together it may be more beneficial to get the Pico scope for that specific use. We don't have a Snap-on Rep anymore so I can't say for sure which Snap-On Scan tool I would've upgraded into, but last time I checked their trade in wasn't worth it. I might as well keep the Solus and Purchase something separate. Any other Launch Tools that you would recommend for someone looking? Maybe you could do a video talking about the various types of Launch Products that you've used and which one if any your considering for future purchase. Cheers and Thanks.
@@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway Good ideas justin! and I do like the Launch, but I think you may have had similar frustrations using it as you did the autel, things are not laid out like the Snap On and it asks you more questions. Not as fast to use but I like it because it can do more. Would be fun to do a video like that. Ill review it soon and then maybe compare it with the Maximus 3 when its released
Is this auto scanner useless unless it’s still under subscription? Does it lose lots of functionality and if it does what’s some of the features it loses.
It does not lose functionality if you don't update. You just don't get updates.
that button just blew up the merc ha good video i take it the vw audi does bentley please
Sir Price this scanner
It looks like Launch is much better option :) at least is not slow
in my opinion I have a maxisys ms 906 bt scanner and it works perfect. better than Snapon .. I prefer this scanner than Snapon or launch ..
have you used it much to initialize (assign new VIN) to a module? Curious on relearns on ABS/ECM/TIPM, etc...
It's because you're going to the wrong tab. If you tap "report" you'll get all your dtc's.
👍
Great review👍🔧🍺 I know this scanner has more features than SO but its not user friendly.
The one question never answered on every review is How Much is the Yearly Upgrade Subscription. Autel is usually 50% of the purchase price. If someone is getting it cheaper, let us know. But to me spending $1,000 on a tool and then another $500 a year to keep it current is a lot of customers to pump through your garage. The other point that is missing is not all those features are available for all makes and models. For example you can not add a new key to a 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid. Bottom line is know the total cost of this and IF it will work on the majority of cars you maintain. Also, in real use, the battery sucks. Your will never get through a full day with out recharging it at some point at least once.
Great review thats super honest and very well done.
I call it like I see it. If there is a value I'll tell you. If it's a pain in the ass to use I'll tell you. That's the sum of it. Cheers!
AESwave.com is an authorized dealer for both Autel and Launch...I would stay away from amazon when purchasing these scan tools. Oh and the Autel MS908 is a far superior scan tool, lol
Yes TONS of clones out there, which may work fine at first but you may have trouble updating later.
@@GearHeadsGarageChannel You have to register the serial # with Autel before first use and receiving first updates. I would think the serial would not be accepted if it were a clone.
Warranty, tech help, and not being able to use AutoAuth are the reasons to avoid Amazon units.
AutoAuth will not accept non USA serial numbers. So you'd be somewhat screwed on 2018+ Fiat/Chrysler (you could use the bypass cable)
You should use the tool more then do another review cause the thing also reprograms pcm moduals and dose live data and merges graphs. Another thing is snap-on and launch are windows biased systems and autel is Android biased system so there will be an different start up and download speed but autels device dose an whole lot more than just tell you what to fix its also designed to help you fix many problems that other scanners won't like programing pcm, you can pay for someone to sell you an reprogrammed pcm for your vehicle and that's fine it will cost anywhere from $200 -$2,200 depending on make and model on average there about $400 to $600, plus the time waiting for it to arrive. With this autel device you can drive to the junkyard and buy one that day used and reprogram it that day no waiting and done faster for customer service making them happier than waiting. Now downside is your chancing the used one could be damaged as well but they are cheaper like in my area there $60
The blue tooth is what really slows it down.
Been looking into the Launch X-431 Pro and Diagun. I didn't dig the Autel either..
Diagun 4 is very good Keith Perkins, New Level Auto, and Pine Hollow Auto Diag have all got videos on it
Clearly has never pulled codes before on anything a health check doesn't pull codes ever! And you were doing a health check so it was asking all the purchase options available for said vehicle, ie radio, T case, GVWR.
you sir need to learn how to use this tool ...NOT BE ONE
The adapters are for OBD 1 systems. The Mitsubishi "12" and "16" are for 12 and 16 pin DLCs not 2012 and 2016. Chrysler "Prior to 2016", OBD 2 DLCs have been standard on all Chrysler vehicles since the year 2000. I stopped watching before the 2-minute mark.
Imagine taking your car to this guy for service. He'll confidently tell you a bunch of crap. 🤣
Typical youtube review, guy gets a product, doesn’t read any manuals and then gets pissed that it doesn’t work the way he thinks. Hopefully he did another review after reading the manual so he doesn’t look inept.
Just got this scanner and waiting to come home from deployment to check it out. I was putting up with this guys whiny voice, by turning the volume down. You know, so I could look at scanner with out the baby in the back ground. But stopped watching and decided to write this review when he started taking the lords name in vain over and over again. As if it would help him from hearing his own whiny voice. My advice to you sir, calm down. Just calm it on down there. And stop bringing god into your hissy fits. No one likes to here that.
Yeah there are definetely too many questions about vehicle spec and it does takes a long time. God i laughed so hard at you complaining
delete all the manufacturers that don't apply to the USA to free up memory. android needs cache partition cleaned out.
all cars around the world have Asian parts, its the way it is, it called business.
Tool
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol this guy is a joke. You’re telling me you can change gear ratios with a scan tool😂😂. Yeah lmk how that goes. You worked or still work at a dealership and you’re not aware how to properly perform diagnostics? Sounds like a good dealership to take your vehicle to😂😂. Just out of curiosity, can you do a review on a scan tool you recommend that performs the same functions for around the same price?
Enable fuel trim? Lol.
Too busy for him? What dealership did he work at?
You just don’t know how to use the tool 😂 user error
You need to educate yourself a bit more about the tool and not guess so much. You did this tool no justice by thinking you knew what you were talking about. Hopefully nobody skips over this tool because of this...
Your inability to know how the scanner works, frustrates both of us.
2500 bucks off the tool truck..complete rip off. 1200 bucks or there abouts on eBay or amazon all day long. For 2500 you can buy an even higher end model Autel scan tool.
Don't waste your time
The one u talking about tires..thats code 82 and 83..put the tire number and the pinion size when abs light is blinking..and is not giving u code sometimes the abs light is blinking is telling u to put the tire size and number..look it up code 82 and 83..weird but it is real..😮😮
