Everything about the purchase, setup and use of the MK808BT PRO from Autel went exactly as planned, no surprises. The diagnostic tool is pretty new user friendly, once it had all of the updates I was able to connect it to all three different makes of cars in the garage successfully. I would suggest that when doing the initial updates to choose them one at a time instead of just "choose all". The update process seems to be quicker this way. The quick setup card gives enough instruction to get connected to the cars, see individual modules and get codes identified and cleared very easily. Customer service from Autel has been great as well, they really seem to want to help their customers be happy with their products. Would recommend this tool to professional techs and home users alike.

The MK808BT Pro is a much needed refresh to the 808 series scan tools and adds the mini VCI Bluetooth adapter. This is an overseas model which means it’s significantly lower in cost to the US distributed equivalent and the subscription renewals are also much less. In comparison to many of the entry-level Snap-on diagnostic tools, this can do it all and more at 1/4 the cost!Bi-directional support is a must now and the Autel UI/UX is fantastic. I personally enjoy it much more than the Launch UI which is rebranded to Think Too, Xtool, and Topdon. Auto VIN picked up both of my cars (09 Lexus and 17 Hyundai) and pulled all the existing DTCs perfectly. It does take some time getting used to the workflow but it’s easy once you spend a day in it.The unit can browse Google and YouTube but there’s no speakers on the unit so something to mention. The kickstand is handy as well. Performance is good for the price point and I couldn’t imagine how it was prior to the hardware refresh and move to Android 11.Overall, this feels like a solid, professional tool versus all the other out there. Unless you need advanced functionality, this is a solid performer!

I really liked this scanner because it was wireless. It allows me to run diagnostics on the vehicle while checking on items around the vehicle instead of being tied to the drivers seat. The interface for this unit is surprisingly intuitive and very responsive. The live data view has been especially helpful in diagnosing more complex issues on several vehicles. This is a truly bi-directional scanner and it allows you to make a lot of adjustments to newer cars. The seller has been very respsonsive to inquiries. Ultimately, after discussing things with customer service, I have decided to upgrade to the 906BT scanner since I needed the actuation test features in addition to the reset/programming features included in this one.I have used several competing brands to this scanner in the past, and this model blows them out of the water. The one thing I really like is that when you are adjusting settings using this model, it explains what the different options are on screen. A lot of other scanners have very vague setting options such as "mode 1, mode 2, mode 3" that require you to check against a factory service manual for the vehicle you are working on, that is if you are lucky enough to have a copy of the FSM. I was pleasantly surprised that this had manufacturer specific explanations for each of the options or "modes" as they are often called for setting operating parameters.Competing scanners, while they may have bluetooth connectivity between vehicle and tablet, have ridiculously oversized dongles that get in the way of operating the pedals, especially the clutch on most vehicles, making collecting live data during a road test next to impossible. This unit has a very compact dongle that is barely visible when installed, and the tablet itself has a retaining clip for the dongle. The way the included tablet is ruggedized is also handy as it is thick enough to provide ambidextrous grip and it has a cool little stand so you can look at data from a comfortable angle. The molded casing also allows for a secure grip on the expensive diagnostic system, even with greasy hands, which inevitably happen when working on vehicles. Several of the other tablet based tools I tried only had a texturized grip on one side and they always felt flimsy, also they were hard to hold and view data as the display was only optimized for holding the tablet with the left hand in portrait modes.The software was easy to register, activate and update. Battery life was pretty decent, but I am just an amateur mechanic and don't run a shop or anything like that so I would work on maybe 1 vehicle every few days if that. Overall this model would be more than sufficient for the average to advanced user. I would recommend this scanner for the vast majority of people.

This device is awesome!!! I tell you I am very proud to own this scanner, very satisfied with the scanner's quality, value, and ease of use. One word "heavy-duty" . Easy to set up, and the different functions are easy to use for code reading. Well worth the price.

Setup and connection is easy and intuitiveYou can check many parameters with live data.

The Autel MK808BT Pro works great, i love the ease of use with the bluetooth OBD2 connector you can plug into the car, and walk around freely with the device to diagnose and run the tests. The battery life is good on it, and it has been easy to understand and use on my cars.

Great product for the money.

Awesome tool to have! Very well made! Works great!
