OBD2TOOL has collected some customer reviews on Autel Maxisys Pro MS908P. Post them here for you to take a reference.
If your a serious do-it-your-selfer and never want to have to pay a
dealer or big shop for diagnostic work and can afford to spring for it,
this is the one you need.
As someone who works almost exclusively with Mercedes i can say with
certainty that this little computer is worth its weight in gold so far.
if you have the diligence to do your part and learn how to use it, there
is very little it will not do. from reading and clearing trouble codes
that may or may not set your check engine light to reprogramming newly
installed sensors or ecu’s (although you will need some manufacturer
info to do these last two) I am more than pleased with the specific
breakdown of each code in the fault report readout. after having used
the older Snap-on systems in the past (which were a huge headache and
provided what seemed to me, a very vague answer to every code) this
thing is a pleasure to work with. It also provides a search icon next to
each code it lists in the fault report…..click the search icon and the
computer immediately searches the web for all articles, blogs, forum
threads, service bulletins, recalls, YouTube videos etc etc related to
your code (which can prove helpful if its something you happen to be
unfamiliar with). If your a serious do-it-your-selfer and never want to
have to pay a dealer or big shop for diagnostic work and can afford to
spring for it, this is the one you need. Likewise if your pro grease
monkey, this will do just about anything you’ll ever need it to.
The Autel wins
I have used this tool on European, Asian and American vehicles. So
far haven’t found anything it couldn’t do. I even did variant coding on a
2002 Mercedes-Benz directly from the tool! The only drawback so far is
you can’t download play store app. If, for instance you want to watch a
youtube video, you have to go through the browser. (this next part is an
edit to my original post) I also have a GM Tech 2
and a Snapon Modis Elite. Today I compared the Autel ms908p to the
other two on a 2004 Chevrolet 2500 with a Duramax diesel. The Autel
wins.It did everything the tech2 (which is the factory tool) could do.
In fairness to the modis it did also but you have to change personality
keys twice. The Autel is much faster than the others.
So far its an excellent tool. Purchased for our collision shop and
needed a better scanner with print capability since our old one wouldnt
do it. Recieved this tool and we have this thing out daily now doing
things we didnt know was possibile with the increased capability this
unit offers. Also much cheaper for the level of usefulness than the
other scanners out there now.
Stop paying your dealership money!
Great product! Have a 45 car a week shop in Lindenhurst, NY. And I
use this product to stop me from having to take me/be to the dealer for
collision avoidance reset. Headlamp recalibration, and much more
Saves me time and tons of money by fixing things myself.
I have multiple different makes of vehicles to maintain. When the
decision to purchase a Mercedes Benz was made, I knew that my cheap code
reader was not going to cut it any more. The MS908P that I bought is
awesome. Not only because it works on all vehicles, it does so much. I
already used it to find an ABC issue on the SL55 AMG. I can’t wait to
find out how much I can do with this unit. This has renewed my interest
in hobby mechanics. Although I am sure professionals would find this
unit very useful for their business. Love it so far.
