Autel Scanner MaxiCOM MK808S: 2025 Bidirectional Tool as MK808BT Pro MX808S M808Z, Function as MaxiCheck MX900, 28+ Service, Active Test, All System Diagnose, Injector Coding, FCA Autoauth Android 11

A great product honestly but buyer beware in some specific cases,I did a fair amount of research on YouTube and forums before purchasing the MK808S, though I didn't confirm all of my vehicles on the Autel site. It seemed promising for all of the things it can do for the high price. Primarily programing remote key FOBs, and that was the main issue I had. I have a 2018 Chevy Impala and a 2022 Buick envision and both weren't supported to perform that action. I ensured the 808 was fully updated in case I was missing something and no luck. In fact there were allot of models not listed that should be and I had to file for a return and a refund.That all being said the 808 can still read codes, analytics and live data throughout the entire vehicle without needing a make model confirmation which can greatly help in troubleshooting or knowing the issues before dropping off to a shop.I gave this 5 stars because it can still perform the vast majority of functions but I can't rate it low because I didn't do the the research and it was a minor inconvenience to return it. Sure, I'm disappointed but before purchasing confirm on the Autel site your year, make and model can do everything with your vehicle.

This tool has been a great addition to my garage, and has already paid for itself over a couple of months. The unit is fairly intuitive, and reads the information easily and quickly. I've used it to read raw data to troubleshoot issues that don't throw out a code. We recently got a used 2016 4Runner with only one key, and discovered that this tool can program transponder keys, saving us almost $500 vs. the dealer. I don't know if I will re-subscribe after the initial subscription ends - I've heard you don't need to renew, you just won't get updates. I've used it on a 2023 Porsche Macan, 2003 Tacoma, 2014 Civic, 2016 4Runner and 2025 Tacoma with no issues.

This is an amazing scanner. It is high quality and has literally saved me thousands of dollars avoiding the dealership or other shops. It's easy to use and has more features than I could ever need. This is a must have for any backyard or shop mechanic!!

The AUTEL MK808S is not your old dumb orange OBDII Scanner.Using this device for the first time is somewhat a pain without a manual.It will take me a while to figure out most of the features.THERE IS NO USER MANUAL – but it comes with:--- Quick Reference Guide. (1 pg. - 3 diagrams and a QR Code to website).- Quick Start Guide. (8 pg. 5”x7.5” color fold-out). …Get out a magnifier to read it.--- The Quick Start Guide will suffice if you can read the small print.YOU ARE REQUIRED TO REGISTER THE DEVICE BEFORE YOU CAN USE IT.- YOU CAN REGISTER BY: (1) Online at AUTEL’s web site, or (2) by scanning the QR Code from your phone, or (3) inside the MK800S device after you have connected to WiFi.<> I prefer the big screen and keyboard of a computer to register.(Later I can then enter my log-in/password on the device)- You will create a log-in and give them your information. Actual address is not required.*** There will be several security checks --- this is a good thing for your protection. ***- Then, you will need the SN from the back of the device, and you will be required to go into the “ABOUT” on the phone to get a pass code to complete registration.- Then it will require you to do a validation code to your email and-or phone.*** Once done with the registration, it will show “My Devices” and a screen to pay: $125. You can ignore this. It is for Year 2 subscription renewal, and is only necessary to get new updates after Year 1.That said, install all the updates before the 1st year is done.

Worked great. Helped me fix an AC problem on my mother’s car that a mechanic shop said I was gonna have to take it to the dealership. It lead me to the solenoid in the compressor and found a pin pushed out of the connector. Well worth the money. I also turned off an airbag fault on my wife’s car that has been on for 9 years.

I bought this from my son-in-law the mechanic and it has came in handy more times and I can count, especially when he works on my truck. It does way more than any scanner I’ve ever had to see be used.

Very good product, I've been using it for a few months now and it works great.

Directions could be better. I thought I had a major problem and made a mistake buying this unit. I spent hours trying to get this thing to talk to my hotspot. After I got the thing to work on 2.5 and 5g with a strong signal to my hotspot, I was impressed with the manual control I had over the vehicle with this unit. I found a lot of problems with the vehicle with this scanner. They should send a short video on a thumb drive to show what this thing can do. It would have saved me hours of frustration.
