Autel MaxiCOM MK908P Customers Reviews:
Review 1:
This scanner can handle Dodge Ram Pro-Master diesel & gas, Ford F-550, 350 diesel, and F-150 gas, and smaller Ford Transit van, Toyota corolla. Even Freight liner tractors (diesel). I'm sure other smaller vehicle this tool will work. Amazing tool scanner! It comes with different plug connectors for almost our entire fleet. On window screen menu, it has TPS menu for tires and tells you which tire sensor is bad w/ reset bottom. Engine & transmission error codes and
tells you exact problem. Diesel glow plugs, injectors which cylinder is not working properly. On gas engine, tells you which spark plug miss firing or even sensor is bad. I haven't tired in my 2013 BMW X6 yet. I'm sure this scanner can scan that car as well. It comes w/ BMW adaptor. I highly recommend this tool sacanner. If you have few vehicle in your shop inventory and if you used this couple of times. It pays for itself already! Handy tool to have in your shop or home garage use.
Review 2:
So I've been working on cars for a few years and have used snap on tools hay are 10x the money and do half the functions that the DS808 does, it has any brand I can think of and more, tons of functions test, live data and configurations of certain components when replaced. Great diagnosing tool . Never write reviews but decided to write one because I am impressed at the way this tool works and much more than what I was expecting would definitely buy another one or an upgraded version if I needed a second one
Review 3:
It got my attention because it has been designed to perform some of the most complicated engine diagnostics and reprogramming. After it arrived, I grabbed this tool to make the reprogramming in my BMW. I connected an external battery charger to the vehicle to ensure a successful operation in case of the failure if voltage fell below the proper operating voltage, and ab101, the bonus gift, did offer much help of the process. Anyway, it went well, and the reprogramming was successful.
Review 4:
For our garage, this Autel MS908P is definitely a powerful diagnostic tool. We were in the market for an advanced diagnostic tool that works on ECUs. Searched and consulted, Autel MS908P was on the list. Compared with other competitors, this MS908P is much more the one I needed. It came with a free battery tester, and the combination of battery tester and the MS908P makes the vehicle diagnosis easier and more complete. Spending the same price, we got something better than similar things. Highly recommend.
Review 5:
Everything went smooth. I have heard that some of these Autel devices are Chinese versions and they may not register correctly. This was a genuine US version and it registered. I have used this MS906 on a couple of cars and i am very impressed.

Solution for Autel MaxiCOM MK908P No Communication and Diagnosis on Car
One customer gave a feedback on Autel MaxiCOM MK908P:
After connecting J2534 box to vehicle, the green power light was on but the blue communication light was not. VCI can communicate with MK908P tablet but cannot do with the vehicle. It'll prompt "There is no diagnosis" "diagnosis is impossible" etc. Have tested Mitsushibi Canter H26 and Audi A7 2012, the issue remained.
Here autelshop.de engineer gave two ways to solve:
1.Make sure VCI version is the latest one.
How to check VCI version?
1) Via Maxi PC suite(on PC)
Step1. Go to
https://www.autel.com/download.jhtml download and install “Maxi PC suite”
Step 2. Connect MaxiFlash Elite to computer by USB cable
Step 3. Run Maxi PC Suite and scan the MaxiFlash Elite
Step 4. Update "Arm Suite"and "FW" if there are newer versions available
2)Via tablet(on tablet)
Connect MaxiFlash Elite to MK908P tablet by USB cable
Click on VCI icon on the bottom task bar.
Pair your device and update if there is a version available.
2.Make sure the physical connection between VCI and vehicle is normal
How to check physical connection?
1)Try another OBD line to connect VCI to vehicle.
2)Check if pins on OBD port and VCI are damaged or bent.
Alright, the issue that Autel tablets cannot communicate with any cars is usually a connection issue, and check methods in this article is also applicable to other tablets.
Hope this could help!
