AutelMS906TS Diagnostic System

I gave this tool an entire year of use before this review. I'm a master mechanic running a used car reconditioning team for Toyota so I work on every kinda of at a dealership level of expertise but not just on one manufacture. I have pushed this tool to it's limits of what it can and can't do. I would say for most people they will never use this tool to it's full potential. I've done coding on Toyota to make the windows roll down with the use of the key fob to programming new VIN numbers on used ECU so the networks inside the car will talk nicely to each other. Auto write ID's to TMPS computers snagged directly from the tool. Does somethings faster than the Toyota factory tool. Haven't been able to perform certain SCN coding from Mercede. Failed to perform smart key access on a Dodge Challenger but did add the immobilizer and Keyless side just fine. Some screams are scream for screen compared factory tool. Some rough translations and have noticed it will skip certain steps I've come across and if your don't know what to do you could getstuck. Can get a bit laggy. Some cars work faster than others. Does work without current software subscription. speaking of the subscription, my first year of renewing will cost me $800. Sometimes functions are not where your would expect them to be and have to hunt for then. 1 menu may say it may not be able to do a certain task and going through a different Sub menu you will be able to perform that task. Would buy this tool again.

Flat out the BEST scan tool available.. Demoed snap-ons $12,000 Zeus that was not able to do Half of what this tool does.. I am a factory Dodge master tech and have been for 20 years.. The next best tested tool was the Matco maximus 2.0 priced at $3,500... Which also allowed for a lot of things the Snap-on wouldn't do!BUY THIS TOOL IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND.. It does EVERYTHING the Factory Tool does! THIS is a MUST Have!

I am a shadetree mechanic and I work I/T for a living. I had a "blue driver" scanner that did a lot for the money, but when the dealer wanted several hundred dollars to diagnose and repair my boyfriend's airbag light on his Scion xD, I bit the bullet and bought this Autel. I definitely can't justify the price of a SnapOn or any other scantool for the small amount of work I perform, but this Autel was just the right price and does everything I ask it to. I've relearned airbag sensors on Toyotas, programmed keyless entry on subarus, reset transmission wear values, programmed TPMS for my room mate's Sonic and way more... It paid for itself in less than a month after purchase.I also see folks like South Main Auto, Scotty Kilmer etc using this scanner, so I know it's great.

I programmed TPMS sensors on a 2009 Nissan rogue, able to diagnose SRS light on my 2005 Honda CRV SE, was also able to program 2 genuine Honda keys. Also has auto vin scan which saves a ton of time on OBDII cars (94+). I would recommend this to a DIY or a independent mechanic. Warning, The 906 has several variants, The 906TS has full TPMS abilities, the 906BT does not.

I updated mine and just after update expired i lost bmw coverage, there is no more BMW or MINI on the tool so tech support and they told me that there is notting they can do that i will have to update again $800 to fix the problem which is total BS, Autel has been 1 of my favorate brand for a while but not anymore.
