Autel MaxiSys MS906BT Car Diagnostic Scan Tool - Same Functions with MaxiCOM MK906 Pro, MS906 Pro, 2023 Advanced ECU Coding & Bidirectional Control, 36+ Services, Compatible with BT506/ MV108

The media could not be loaded. I run a vehicle remapping business and needed a high quality diagnostic tool. I have tried a few and eventually settled for the MS906BT. This is an outstanding tool and you will struggle to find better in terms of value and features.I was instantly impressed with this tool. It arrived nicely packaged with a hard-plastic case to house the tablet, ODB cable, chargers and adapters. The case is robust and perfect to keep the tool safe in a workshop environment. The OBD cable and adapters will allow you to work with 99% of vehicles. The following adapters are included:Chrysler-16 / BMW-20 / Kia-20 / Nissan-14 / GM/Daewoo-12 / Honda-3 / VW/AUDI-2+2 / Mitsubishi/Hyundai-12+16 / Benz-38 / PSA-2 / Fiat-3The MS906BT is well-built and designed to cope in a workshop environment. The robust plastic casing will keep the device safe. The screen is also shatter proof and is made to withstand a rough and tough environment. The design is also visually pleasing compared to other tools.I really like the fact that this tool is wireless. The Bluetooth VCI automatically pairs with the tablet when it’s plugged in. This feature is important when test driving and performing live data logging so cables don't get in the way of the pedals or steering wheel. I also like to scan any faults and take the tablet over to the customer so I can explain each fault to them. There is a handy light on the Bluetooth adapter to help you find the OBD port in dark environments.The MS906BT has similar functions to the Autel MS906 and DS808. However, it has added advanced coding options depending on the ECU you are working with. The MS906 and DS808 are only capable of basic ECU coding. This tool also benefits from built-in Wi-Fi, touch screen, injector coding, immobiliser key coding, live data logging, read & clear fault codes, adaptions and more. You are getting close to dealer level diagnostics using this tool.The tool has a brilliant 8-inch display which is touch sensitive. The screen has a resolution of 1024 x 768 with good viewing angles making it a pleasure to use.It runs Android 4.4.4 which makes the tool extremely user friendly. If you own a smartphone or tablet, you will easily find your way around this tool. The Wi-Fi capability allows the scanner to download OS and Diagnostic Data updates which are regularly provided by Autel.The hardware includes a powerful Samsung Exynos running at 1.3Ghz + 1.7GHz ARM Cortex A-15 accompanied with 2GB RAM which provides plenty of processing power for the tool to run smoothly. The built-in storage is 32GB but there is capability to add a Micro SD card for more storage.Battery life is good and I have found that on average it lasts about 6 hours of continuous use on a busy day and charges quickly if you need a top up.The MS906BT is a modern diagnostic tool which is capable of scanning a broad range of vehicles and identify faults with accuracy. The tool covers over 80 car manufacturers. It is capable of resetting faults within all modules of a vehicle including engine management and ABS. It is also capable of reprogramming keys if you are in possession of the key code from the particular dealer of a vehicle.The advanced ECU coding options on the MS906BT allows it to do deal with installing replacement ECU’s to a vehicle, retaining and transferring VIN data to a new ECU. It is also capable of coding body electronics and add adaptations such as locking the doors, settings alarms, switching coming home and leaving home function for the lights and more. The options are endless depending on the hardware available for the specific vehicle you are working with. The MS906 and DS808 are only capable of basic coding so if you need an advanced tool, look no further.What I like the most about this tool is the accuracy in which it can scan the ECU to provide a fault code and a full fault description. I performed a full health check on a customer’s Audi A5 using the MS906BT and it quickly identified a fault relating to a glow plug. The customer had been having issues with DPF regenerations as well which was more than likely linked to the faulty glow plug. I fitted a new glow plug, used the tool to reset the fault and performed a forced DPF regeneration. The problem was sorted and the customer was delighted with how quickly we identified the problem and fixed it. This is credit to how precise the Autel MS906BT can be.I used the tool to work on a BMW 330d which needed 6 new injectors. The customer supplied the injectors and I fitted them following by coding using the MS906BT. Again, this was easily done without any hiccups and the customer was back on the road in no time at all.I regularly use the tool to perform live data checks to log boost and to perform DPF/EGR checks. This allows me to ensure a vehicle is running as it should before any tuning. I also regularly use the tool to perform forced DPF regenerations to solve a number of DPF issues.This scanner is a professional tool which is closely associated with diagnostic tools used at the major dealers. The scanner comes with AutoVIN technology. This technology will automatically identify the vehicle you are scanning saving you a lot of time trying to find the make, model and engine manually. This places the MS906BT ahead of the competition as with most tools you have to manually enter the VIN or manually find the vehicle you are working with.The diagnosed data can be analysed in a number of ways. You can read it on screen or get a paper copy using a printer. The data remains stored in the device and you can play it back at any time in the future unless you manually delete the history record.CONCLUSION:The Autel MS906BT is a fantastic tool and in terms of features and value for money, I think you will struggle to find better. I strongly recommend the device for its high quality, capability and extensive functions. I have owned other tools in the past but since owning this tool, I will always choose Autel tools. The customer support is very good and software updates are provided on a regular basis.If you have any questions regarding the tool, please leave a comment and I will do my best to answer it.

Having used generic diagnostic equipment, from various manufacturers, for many years - I now have the new 'go to' unit.Was getting fed up with Launch/Snap-on not being able to carry out some quite simple procedures which Autel can do.I do understand that no machine can do every job - which is why I have a number of units at my disposal, including main dealer equipment - however this Autel unit has done all I have asked of it, so far and is very quick and easy to use.The user interface looks good and is very clear. The whole unit is tough and all parts and accessories fit away tidily in its own case.I would certainly recommend this unit without hesitation.

Please do not buy this product its a grey import and not compatible with anything and no back up is available, you will lose your money

Bought this for my workshop, have used it on quite a few vehicles now. It's so far been fantastic and done everything I've asked of it. Resetting service lights on several vehicles. Including BMW brake pads and epb. A really in-depth machine easy to use, goes into everything. well worth the money seems better than or equal to a lot of far more expensive machines. Seems to do everything and more than the snap-on code readers and is an 8th of the price. Highly recommended and would buy again. 👍

So far I like it for,the little time I,ve tried it, it's easy to use, and so far so good to that it really feels or is a genuine tool rather than been sold a grey duff import with the seller ripping you off,this I would say is not the case.it updates from Autel with no probs,everyone impressed that has seen the scan tool so far, and it comes from the seller who is very helpful willing to help in any way if any probs arise,all has been perfect with the scanner.for the price,the scanner covers every system on vehicles including tests you dont expect
