Very good scanner. Great price with great features. A few hiccups though.
I started at 3 stars, but went with 4. I must say the MK808 is a very good scanner. It's just as good and does all the same things my 2010 MACTools Taskmaster scanner and that scanner covers every model 2010 prior back to 1987 with all the connectors including giving common repair fixes for each trouble code. Has a very nice size and very useable interface. Comes with an OBDII cord probably 4 to 5 feet long. Didn't measure it. Very nice solid plastic case and manual. Actually a pretty decent manual. As advertised, it does pickup the VIN number automaticly and it has a great many tasks covered under such as TPMS and another 10 to 12 major tasks. It picked my 2002 and 2010 Ford F150 and F350 as advertised. Again just as good as my Taskmaster. It also, after I input the VIN, recognized my ... I started at 3 stars, but went with 4.

It picked my 2002 and 2010 Ford F150 and F350 as advertised. Again just as good as my Taskmaster. It also, after I input the VIN, recognized my 1999 Ram 3500 diesel. It wouldn't pick up the VIN automaticly. Haven't tried my 2000 Nissan Frontier and I know it won't read my 1991 Ford Ranger. Doesn't come with the cables to read OBD1 and prior. I even printed the report wirelessly from it to my inkjet printer. I didn't try resetting the oil change light since it's not time for it yet. I found it also had current fixes for most trouble codes just as my Taskmaster which is extremely handy. The one thing I found issues with was discovering not every vehicle model is included in all tasks. For example, TPMS. As advertised, it's in there. Unfortunately, not for my 2010 Ford F350 gas engine. It's in there for the diesel version. Haven't tried my F150. My 1999 Ram 3500 diesel isn't covered in all tasks either. Just the main diagnostics and a few there aren't covered, but it's also 22 years old. I had to buy a MaxiTPMS TS401 to activate and test the TPMS sensors because the MK808, as mentioned, didn't cover my F350. Even with buying the MK808 and the TS401, the total didn't come close to the $1500 I paid for the Taskmaster brand new in 2010. Nowadays the MAC and Snap-On scanners are well north of $6000. Unfortunately, you won't know if your vehicle model isn't covered by any task until you plug it in. For the average around home mechanic, it's a great tool at a great price. Keep in mind, your updates are only free the first year. I haven't gotten where I've had to pay for updates yet so I don't know the pricing. However, you may not need the updates if little changes.

Not worth it.
Well lets start with updates. You will need to pay for them. While other scan tool give them to you free. Plus they will do the same scans. The only way to get instructions is to down load them and that is confusing as well. To do that you will need to find the serial number and then they ask a lot of personal information. They don't really go into much detail of things that you will need to do before you can use the scanner. I have use one like this for years and they are more friendly to use. I would return it if I knew about the updates. This is not for the home user that only uses it once in a while. Save your money and buy a different one. You will be much happier.Well lets start with updates. You will need to pay for them. While other scan tool give them to you free. Plus they will do the same scans.

Great product.
Autel MK808 BT Pro is a great product user friendly if you have an understanding of how it works that can be found on their website or Utube mechanics on line can walk you through many scenarios of functions it has for diagnostics and repairs you can actually test components to see if their working before you remove them to eliminate parts being thrown at vehicle true game changer for the guy who just likes to work on his own car or truck but goes even further than that thanks Autel MK808 BT Pro is a great product user friendly if you have an understanding of how it works that can be found on their website or Utube mechanics on line can walk you through many scenarios of functions it has for diagnostics and repairs you can actually test components to see if their working before you remove them to eliminate parts being thrown at vehicle true game changer for the guy who just likes to work on his own car or truck but goes even further than that thanks

Very easy to uses, it does what it said it would do an more than what i expected, very good for shops or personal use. I just wish it had a printer incorporated, but other than that, excellent scanner and the price is right

Another smarter than me device.
I haven't ran one of these before and it takes time to get familiar with it. Like a new cell phone it does things differently than others. It gives me some imformation my other scanners don't. I use live data a lot and I haven't figured out how to get it to read it yet. It has a tremendous base it's working with and is much quicker than a Snap-on brick or Solis.
