The review for the MS-906

Posted on by

I wanted to write this review to hopefully help some others out there. One thing that I really wanted the ability to do is program keys. I could not find any good hard information that this was supposed to program keys. Because of this, I was leaning towards the older DS-708. I decided to give Autel US a call and gather some information.

2-1

They told me that the Autel MaxiSYS MS906 was the replacement for the DS-708, but the DS-708 was end of life. They said if you buy a used one, and something happens to the card, then it will essentially be a brick if you don’t have a backup. They also told me that the MS-906 would not program keys and that I had to get the pro version that was quite a bit more expensive. This did not make sense to me because if the MS-906 replaced the DS-708, it should do everything that the DS-708 does.

I ended up messaging the seller on OBD2TOOL. and he told me that it would not as well. I figured I would order it and I could always return it. Turns out, the MS-906 DOES program keys! I’m very impressed with the scanner. Comparing it to an older Snap-On Solus, it blows it out of the water! The graphing is nice, has a TON of features!

I am very happy with my purchase. Your 1 year worth of updates starts from the time that you register the Autel Scanner. The problem is, you HAVE to register it before you can use it all. Therefore if your plan was like mine and to use it for 2 years or so, then register it to get the free year worth of updates, then that will NOT work.

What different between autel maxisys elite diagnostic tool maxisys 908cv

Posted on by

1.How well does Autel Maxisys Elite reflash? I do alot of dodge, chevrolet and ford diesel diagnoscatics, does it work well with these?

Answered by John R
you will need a laptop hooked through the j2534 pass through module to program gm ford and dodge but you have to pay the subscription fee to do your programming.it works well on most vehicles bi directional controls it does power balance also for ford and gm not sure on dodge.

2.Yes im ready to purchasee is this the us or the chinese version ive heard conflicting reports about differences in repair and support policies

Answered by Ron Jon:
It’s the US version and I to had the same concerns but bought it. I’ve had to call the tech support one time and I had very good results. It is Us support. Trust me you won’t regret this purchase. I can almost do anything the dealers can do . I’ve already paid for mine since I can program now

Answered by Herbert Brown:
The US version. All operations and functions I have used on the Elite were English.
Good product, I have already used the Autel Maxisys Elite on 5 different cars from 3 different manufacturers (BMW, Nissan and Cadillac). Was able to simplify my troubleshooting with this tool.
Well worth the purchase if you plan on working on multiple cars

3.What different between autel maxisys elite diagnostic tool maxisys 908cv

Dear sir, the ms908cv can diagnose and perform ecu programming and coding on 24V heavy duty trucks, the maxisys elite is for gasoline and 12V vehicles , please be informed.

4.What make of vehicles can this scanner work on?

sir, Autel Scanner can do it on most cars of America, Europe and Asia, but if you want to make confirmation just tell us the car model, year and VIN, we will have a check and tell u the result.

5.Do you get free updates

you get updates for a year after that you can pay autel for the updates but are not required for the scanner to keep working. I have a Maxisys Pro for about 2 years and after the 1 year updates were over It still works like a charm. on the updates that they add like language support fix bugs or add tests or functions that were missing.

6.Does is have live data and live graphing for abs and crank/cam sensors etc.

Sure, of course, the most powerful function is it can do ECU coding and programming on BWM,BENZ, and many other powerful special function

Depending on the Vehicle I have been able to see the live data and Graphs for both ABS and cam/crank sensors. The only vehicle I have had a problem with is a Nissan GTR. But for all other vehicles I have had no problems.

Who Autel Maxisys MS906 Scanner Is For

Posted on by

No doubt, its not a gadget to keep at home and show-off. Its designed for the professionals and repairing shops. More precisely, for large rebuilding houses.

The price of the product is quite high and even small vehicle garages will find it hard to afford.

It is intended for mid-scale or large-scale service providers.

It can diagnose tens of vehicles per hour depending on your activeness.

I admit MaxiSYS 906 is costly but comparing to the value it provides; I must say it a reasonably priced product. Moreover, don’t consider it as an expense but an investment as it can cut the time for closing a deal by half. That only means more business for you but with lesser stress.

17-1

Conclusion

Conclusively speaking, Autel MaxiSYS MS906 Automotive Diagnostic Scanner happens to be the perfect device for significant repairing houses out there. I strongly recommend the device for its high-quality performance standards. Also remember the other versions after it, the ms906bt and ms906st.

I doubt that you will ever love to use any other device if you experience this one. I am personally a fan of the device and the Autel Brand itself.

Moreover, it is backed up by the prestige of the Autel Brand. Autel is a great manufacturer who always strives for presenting the best and eliminating the difficulties of its customers. In case, you encounter with some problems for using the Autel scanner or if it doesn’t function well, although that’s pretty rare, an Autel representative will help you out and resolve your issues. Just contact their customer support.

Autel MaxiSYS Elite Automotive Diagnostic & ECU Coding Programming System Reviews

Review by Paul Young

I had a 3 years experience of using Maxisys series products in my workshop, including maxisys pro, maxisys mini, and maxisys maxidas ds708, but this one still does not disappoint me. It only takes 15 seconds to boot up, the touch screen is very smooth, the diagnosic process is very fast, helps me save a lot of time.

Review by emmawho

EXTREMELY Nice! Fast Shipping! Very nice easy to work with Seller! As for the Product….
Easy to use and operate the Maxisys Elite is the best scan tool on the market today. I personally own Launch, Bosch, and Snap On. While they all have their pros and cons I believe the Autel Maxisys Elite to be the best all around tool, and with two years of free update is certainly the best value for the money.

A great tool and deal Review by Unified

Of course more features are always appreciated,We have OEM tools for the brands that we carry, but we needed a tool that can diagnose the various used cars that we service.

Review by hello2019

I had a 3 year old Maxisys. It earned its cost many times over. It finally had a problem. I am sending it out for repair and purchased the Elite to replace it. It is the same but much smoother and more polished and the software functionality is much better. The Autel Scanner screen resolution is double and it actually makes quite a difference. This is an early review but the improvements were worth the review.

Review by 78hoot

This product is expensive for me.I even doubt that if it worth to buy.And the truth is I did a good choice.There are three things I want to say about this product.The first is the design of it.the touch feels good,(I don’t know the material about it).legible screen also a good side I like.It also can be put up,so I can put it on the car instead of carring it and walking around.Maybe it shows I am a lazybones….uhhhhhhh….

The other side,about the functions,programming working works really good on my Benz,the update keeps the softeware can be follow development of the car’s system.The advice from cloud data,all of them are from technicals or drivers,gives me some thinking when I have met problems about my car.I just told my favourite functions now,all of the functions I can not write it down here…
last thing I want to say.The service.This product has many functions,so sometimes I don’t know what can I do or what the benefits that one of the functions has.These problems just a part of all the problem I met.(I am not good at use precision electronic tools).So I have called the seller many times.With the good manner and speed,they solved all of my problems.Have bought products from Amazon these years,but the seller who shows good manners and solves the problem carefully like this,I rarely met.

all of the things I got from obd2tool,(product,service,and etc.)is a good experience for me.I write some words about the experience of this product,even though these things are my opinions,but wish there will be some helps for yours,if you want buy a good car test product for cars you owned.
