Autel (China corp) is out of touch with the reality of customer support and ownership. First of all NEVER buy any used Autel equipment. The equipment, once registered, can never be re-registered with a new owner – period. They have a nice little feature whereby the unit will self-upload the latest updates even if you haven’t paid for it. Then it will give you a grace period to pay. If you didn’t save the previous update you are not happy because either you pay the $800 update fee or the update server will lock the unit up on you and then you are in customer anti-support h&!!,
I am a computer geek by day and car and motorcycle fanatic by night. My specialty is product marketing and management and I can tell you Autel operates like a dictatorship with respect to its product users. Comparatively speaking the OTC Genisys Touch for $1000 more is a much better value and sans strings attached.
Okay, I think any professional auto tech needs to own this MaxiDas DS708, Keep your updates current, as this gives you more diagnostic abilities, through the interface.
It does not cover the earlier Saabs.
I have used it constantly, and the WiFi is great, I send the info to the printer this way.
Vital tool for the qualified individual, meaning a high skill level to diagnose using the features, data stream, and different tests, etc. It does have a a graph capability, and the whole kit is great.
I have used the TPMS tool too, I did the update from the download off the website, it is very useful when the situation arises, and additionally will allow the tech to use it when resetting the sensors after a simple tire inflation, so it is all good!
