Great easy to use professional automotive scanner with some caveats
I'm a professional Independent European automotive technician that needed a fast scan tool that i could use to reset condition based service (CBS) maintenance items, had bi-directional control for diagnostics, and was able to graph OBD2 generic PIDs in a self contained wire-free handheld form factor. This unit completely fit the bill for the price tag. With exception of programming blank uncoded modules, in depth TPMS, and other full feature functions only available on dealership level scan-tools like BMW ISTA/INPA, Porsche PIWIS, etc. This device will address the most common needs you'll ever run into for service, repair and diagnosis of problems you'll encounter in the professional automotive repair workshop setting. Bluetooth wireless range is great, not being tethered to the vehicle during quick/short tests or reviewing live data. Incredibly helpful is the ability to wirelessly print over network. Needing only a windows PC connected to the network and an autel print client installed to it. Printouts offers legitimacy when attaching it to a physical invoice to give back to clients. The summary print contains the VIN, vehicle model and time of scan.This scan tool will reset oil/maintenance service messages on 2020+ Porsche (including 911) which is a huge dealNo problems with VW/Audi, easier to use and faster than Rosstech, although not quite as full featured for programming/codingNo issues with BMW/Mini cooper offering 90% of the functionality of an Autologic bluebox at a fraction of the price.Works with Mercedes Benz, Land Rover and Jaguar. And even support for Sprinter. Minor hiccup with Volvo however trying to retract rear piston on electronic brake equipped 2020+ volvos. Which may be addressed in an Autel Update.1 year of free updates with the device, Then it's about $700 to renew.Arrived from this seller (Autel Direct) completely sealed in thick plastic and well packed, with an inner carton containing the huge plastic blow-molded case.
