ML629 OBD2 Scanner, Upgraded of AL619, Car Code Reader Check Engine ABS SRS Transmission Diagnostic Scan Tool with Auto VIN, Ready Test | Mechanic Full OBDII Code Reader w/DTC Lookup AutoVIN, OBD2 Live Data, Up of AL619 AL629 for Professionals DIYers

After doing some research on the various scanners out there (not all do SRS codes for example) I went for this one. I'm very happy with my first go with it. The airbag light came on and stayed on in my Mitsubishi Colt and I checked over everything I could but found out later that even with the fault fixed the light will not go out until the code is cleared. The scanner was perfect - auto detected the make/model of the car, found the fault, cleared the code and the light now works as normal (on for 10 or so seconds when starting up the car then goes out). Very happy to be able to do this myself instead of paying a garage to do it. The package itself is very good - I appreciate that it comes with a carry pouch which keeps everything (scanner and cables) together. I haven't scratched the surface of what the scanner can do yet (live data etc.) but the main thing I wanted it to do right now was done easily and quickly. Only downside to the experience is that the Autel website is a little clunky when it comes to getting registered for updates but with a bit of patience it went through OK.

Got an engine management light come on (MIL) in my Fiat Tipo, so wanted to investigate what it was - you can't always trust a garage not to make up a fault. Out of the vast selection of these units available, I opted for this one. It arrived in a nice zippy pouch with a cable to connect to the car - looks similar to a Scart cable. Plugged it in and selected the correct make and model. Worth remembering that the software running in the car is likely to be older than the year the car was manufactured. The unit came pre-installed with info up to 2017, you need to register the unit to download the latest years. For me the year 2016 was all I needed for the Tipo. It read the fault and then have me the option to clear it. I tried this, which worked, but the fault returned a few days later. However, I now know what the fault is and which part needs replacing, which is all I wanted to know. Did the job great.

Good scanner for the price. Yurned off the airbag fault, which appeared to be a low voltage issue from the battery being left to go flat.

Purchased this to help me re-set my Air Bag warning light after removing the passenger side bag in order to replace the window regulator. Not the cheapest on the market but not the dearest either. Arrived earlier than expected, well packaged and protected. Manual and Q and A sheet included, instructions can be a bit confusing but if you follow a logical path all works well, have not tried the update yet but have installed the software using the disc supplied. All lights out now, easy to use and had a play around with it while it was connected up, all in all a worthwhile piece of kit that will save you trotting of to the dealers and having to pay out each time. Also, much better than the usual £20-30 ones you find on Amazon. They use the same generic chip and won't do any of the other advanced features that this will.

I bought this product for the future issues with my car. U asked Autel.com about the difference between this and ap200 (the Bluetooth model) They told me to contact the local dealer . I did, and this was the response: Unfortunately, Autel UK do not sell the products you have mentioned in your email. We are geared towards the professional market and because of this, our lowest cost tool is the MX900c at £499 plus vat Autel store is a Chinese website selling unauthorised products, nothing brought oon this website is covered by UK warranty or support. Som these cheaper Autel products sound sketchy to me. I will be returning it.

Good, low cost enhanced fault code reader for looking at ABS, airbag and OBD codes on my Mitsubishi. Cheaper readers only tend to show engine codes, whereas this one was perfect for diagnosing a failed ABS wheel speed sensor (my old one didn't have this capability). Also switched off the engine MIL light, after I'd induced a stored fault by disconnecting a sensor. Note : Device is not universal : this does not want to connect to X-type Jaguars (friends car) for example. Check the Autel website for compatibility before you buy!

If you want to spend £100+ on a machine that a £50 can do then this is the one for you. For this money you can get better ones. You can’t even reset the service lights?? Also you need to update the unit before you can use on a lot of jap vehicles. Get a better model for the same money with more features. Or buy a cheaper one with the same features.

After 8 years of Land Rover main dealers and independent specialists telling me that my Freelander 2 had no recorded faults, despite my getting an intermittent misfire/stall when pulling away; last such diagnosis was just 3 weeks ago and cost me another £66! I plug this device in and within a couple of minutes a whole host of faults appear relating to the clutch pedal switch and the Immobiliser to power-train module. I have yet to determine if these are indeed the faults causing the misfire/stall but just goes to show I should have bought such a tool long ago. Very easy and intuitive to use. Very pleased indeed!

Grund für den Kauf eines Fehlerauslesegerätes war, ein plötzliches Motorruckeln mit dem Aufleuchten der Abgaswarnleuchte in meinem 10 Jahre alten Astra H. Der Preis beim FOH für das Auslesen des Fehlers war schon die Hälfte vom Gerätepreis. Da wir 2 ältere und 2 neuere KFZ in der Familie haben und ein Fehler bei allen Autos auftreten kann, habe ich mich entschieden solch ein Gerät anzuschaffen. Nach einiger Überlegung und Vergleich solcher Geräte habe ich mich dann für das Autel MaxiLink ML629 entschieden, da es die 4 wichtigsten Felder an Steuergeräten im KFZ auslesen kann. Das Gerät kommt in einer ordentlichen Tasche mit allem an Zubehör was man braucht. Die voreingestellte Sprache ist Englisch und sie soll in den Einstellungen einfach umzustellen sein, nachdem man das Update erfolgreich durchgeführt hat. Tja, das hat bei mir erst nach mehrmaligen Durchführungen hingehauen. Das PC Maxi Suite Programm auf der Autel Homepage hat irgendwie nicht funktioniert,trotz genauer Durchführung nach Anleitung wollte sich das Gerät nicht umstellen lassen. Also habe ich den Support angeschrieben und auf deren Antwort gewartet. Die Antwort kam einen Tag später. Darin war nochmals die Anleitung zum Umstellen und ein Downloadlink für das PC Programm. Komischerweise war die Seite eine völlig andere als die, wenn man sich registriert, das Gerät mit ID anmeldet und dann die Software runterlädt. Also, die Pc Software erneut installiert, SD Karte wiederholt formatiert und dann das Update nochmals mit der Software aufgespielt. Das hat dann auf Anhieb funktioniert, das Gerät ließ sich sofort umstellen. Danach hat es auch 1 A den Fehler am Fahrzeug ausgelesen. Die Bedienung des Gerätes ist eigentlich sehr einfach. Für Leute die so ein Gerät noch nie selber in der Hand hatten gibt es auch eine ausführliche Anleitung von 96 Seiten als Pdf im WWW. Nach den ersten Erfahrungen mit dem Gerät kann ich sagen, ich würde es wieder kaufen. Die Gerätequalität ist robust und sauber verarbeitet. Die Funktionen sind für den Laien mehr als ausreichend, und ich denke auch für den Profi ist es ein interessantes Gerät, da sich auch Kennfelder Live Daten auslesen lassen. Alles in einem, klare Kaufempfehlung!

Chegou no dia marcado, em boas condições. Funciona bem, embora não tenha conseguido ler o primeiro carro onde testei, mas ficou resolvido após realizar a atualização proposta nas instruções. Estou bastante contente com o equipamento.

Perfetto

La simplicité et robustesse

Funziona bene all'inizio , poi alcune volte no , La lingua Italiana non è selezionabile , le altre funzioni elencate non funzionano tipo rilevamento volt della batteria .Cioè non è proprio funzionale come descritto. Inoltre si blocca o ci mette molto auto alfa del 1999 jtd , rileva centralina airbag , ma non trova la spia accesa airbag , non segna l'errore nonostante c'è
