AutelMaxiDiag MD806 PRO Car OBD2 Scanner: Full System Diagnostic Scan Tool, Upgrade Ver. of MD808 MD806 MD802, 7 Hot Services: DPF Oil Reset BMS SAS Throttle A/F EPB, AutoScan Data Print Free Update

We have a passion for interesting cars but with this passion comes usually complications! I bought this for my Lancia Ypsilon. Before purchasing this model I had tried a few other brands which stated Lancia compatible, but they didn't work at all or they were twice the price of this model and didn't have the functionality.What I wanted was a unit that did Full System scanning not just 4 systems which most other devices at this price point offer, plus some special services such as Oil Reset and Battery Monitor. This is a very high spec machine for small outlay.I spent a long time searching, believe me this is the best option out there if you want a high end, Full system scanner for 4 system scan price.Customer service from Autel has been excellent throughout my contact with this before purchase to ensure it would be suitable.I am not a mechanic by any means, but am fortunate to have my best friend who is very competent with cars and therefore between our fleet, I wanted to diagnose and then he can fix!The MD806 Pro feels very well made, comes with a bright and clear screen and large chunky buttons and feels it would survive a workshop. It comes with a nice carry case with all the cables and manuals. Nice piece I thought when I unboxed it.Updating the unit does take a while if you are updating for every brand this device covers which is most I have ever heard of including some extremely premium brands I have never seen on a device at this price point. For the majority of us, I am sure your car will be listed.My advice is only update the brands you want to install onto the device and it will be ready in but a moment.The Autel MD806 Pro worked a treat and correctly and quickly diagnosed the problem on my Lancia which no other tool has managed. It was easy with the Scan feature and also showed up some other issues I wasn't aware of.Brilliant diagnostic tool for the amateur diagnoser and I am sure for professional garages and workshops too. Every brand covered as well as useful reset functions. I cannot recommend it enough, stop searching (as I have done that for you!) and buy the MD806 Pro, you won't be disappointed.

(Purchased Nov 2019) Originally bought the Scanner to check a problem with my sons Peugeot. Major oil warning light and engine hesitation. Relevant codes found, camshaft sensor and oil pickup issue. Sorted the problems and car runs fine. Wife's car is a convertible and roof wouldn't go down, scanner picked up that it was a switch issue, leak to ground on the switch. Cleaned the switch with solvent and it now works. Used it on my Skoda to run through a full diagnostics check and a a few error codes found, but not major. (I also have VCDS which is specifically for VW/Skoda.) The Autel Scanner read the same codes as my VCDS. Ran a diagnostic on my friends Transit van with EML on, to be told the DPF needed regenerating. Perfect. In a nutshell, used on 3 cars in my family and a friends van and saved money. I also recently bought a Hyundai and plugged it in, with the owners permission, before buying to check for problems, to make sure I didn't buy someone else's problems! This scanner will clear most major codes, OBDII or vehicle specific. (Obviously the issue needs fixing, else it will keep returning. Scanner will read codes to save money on diagnostics, but will no physically t fix the car, please remember this.) Great purchase.

Great bit kit, with loads of functionality. The MD806 is really easy to use, and for anyone with a car that requires things like batteries to be registered when you change them it has all the service functionality as well as all the standard OBD scanning. I find the Autel equipment finds codes that other cheaper scanners will miss or don't have the functionality to access them. I would recommend this to others who need a good reliable, full featured OBD scanner and diagnostic tool.

I read a few horror stories online about fake imports, wrong language, wrong systems, incompatible software etc so was a bit apprehensive when ordering. However, the unit arrived in good time just two days later. A bit of a long process to create Autel ID, login, register device, download software then update the device, but every stage worked ok, no problems even on Microsoft Vista(!) (I suspect thet the unit would have worked without updating, but followed the instructions just in case). The unit has connected no problem so far with Audi A4 2011, Vivaro van 2012, VW T4 Transporter 2003 (with ingintion switched on) and read and erased codes including ones which weren't flagged by dashboard lights. I've no doubt the device will get a lot of use in future-It's easy to use with a clear screen, can be powered via OBD or USB from laptop. I considered buying one for half the price which may have read the same codes, but did not really want to take the chance. Glad I bought this one as there are plenty of functions on it. . Comes in a sturdy plastic case, with instrucions included in box.

Work OK, don't think this is a proper autel so something's don't Work or not on the software but it's OK for DIY mechanic

Update to my previous review. Just discovered that the MD806 Pro that I purchased in 2020 with 'Lifetime updates' only covers models up to 2015. Now reading the new description, the title states '2021 version' and the description states 'NOTE: MD806 Pro can work on vehicles mostly before 2015'. What's the point of purchasing the 'new version' of something that doesn't work on new cars? Sent mine back for a refund. There was no mention of this when I purchased mine last year
