I have no prior experience with code readers beyond the $30 OBDII read-and-reset type, but after a fast and easy register and update, I find this tool very easy and intuitive to use. Have used it to scan and reset an E39 BMW lighting control module and airbag light, and a Porsche Boxster 987 oil service light. It takes a few minutes, but the tool tells yo what to do next, acquires the serial number automatically, and guides you all the way. Very cool, I'm very pleased.

A serious upgrade from my 10 year old reader. Love the capabilities! Make sure to do all the updates even though it takes a while. Firmware updated once connected to a cars OBD port. Take note as pictured below. Even though the description and packaging says it will do TPMS relearning it does not. I confirmed that with Autel directly. Overall pleased and a great value compared to other units. This is the MX808 for US use.

I’ve had this scanner a over year now, great entry level scanner for beginners, however I do highly recommend Autel MS906BT as It has more special functions and it’s bi-directional. This makes diagnosis much easier because you can test a lot of modules straight from the scanner. The MX808 is great for an entry level G2 or anyone who has a car that requires a scanner to reset maintenance lights. The mx808 is not bidirectional, however reading the live date is not hard at f you know what you’re looking for, as I’ve said, I’ve had this scanner for over a year, and have used this same Autel scanner for multiple years. It may be difficult to use for someone who doesn’t understand live data, or just not very car savvy. Although it doesn’t have bi direction. It does have a lot of special functions I use most every day. Such as epb, sas, and maintenance resets on Mercedes BMW, and Audi. Never had a problem connecting to any cars, im talking late 90s jaguars, to 2020 toyotas. Scanner is very good and easy to use. Extremely user friendly, I definitely prefer this over my snap on scanner I paid almost $2000 usd for. Interface is much better on autel. Snap on scanners do come with a diagnostic help guide for most every car. But if you’re not a mechanic, or someone who truly understands what they’re looking at from personal experience this really isn’t needed in fact some G2s who don’t have enough experience, [or just plain don’t care] will use this to diagnose every car they get. This however does not make you the “MAN” as I’m fixing A techs mistakes with my $500 dollar scanner, while they use their $4-5 thousand dollar scanners just to get the diagnostic wrong because they’re too lazy to check live data and freeze frames, let alone understand the parameters. All in all the mx808 is a fantastic scanner for the price, and it will definitely make you a better technician, so long as you take the time to truly understand what you’re using, and how to use it. This scanner has taken me a long way, I will continue to recommend it to anyone who recently got their 2G, or anyone who works on their own vehicle regularly. This scanner will save you big bucks if you don’t have a personal mechanic who has a quality scanner. I’ve used this to reset and relearn immobilizers on Hyundais after replacing the BCM. Supper easy and quick. Definitely a money maker, why are you still reading this? Buy yourself one right now, you won’t regret it. You’ll also be the coolest guy in your shop rocking AUTEL. I’m telling you ones you use an AUTEL scanner there is no going back. Best interface And bang for the buck. I would highly recommend the new MS906BT if you want a great quality bi directional scanner without breaking the bank, wish I had bought it off the rip. But the Mx808 has done me so well for so long, I don’t think I’ll be upgrading anytime soon. Great product, great price, and great service. Autel for life, don’t wast your money on the tool trucks. This is the scanner for you, hurry up and order this bad Mama Jamba, you’ll be glad you did Read full review

It is a great scanner, connecting is easy with the auto read option. It gives good definition of codes and symptoms according to the code. The free updating is great too. It's easy to keep the scan tool up to date. I recommend this scanner to the beginners and to the experienced automotive techs.

Works great taking hours of video watching and reading to use it. Not that user friendly. Screen format has changed sense videos so things don’t work the same are in the same place
