Autel MS310 Better than I expected
I used this code reader on a 2005 Kia Rio. The only indication something was wrong with my car (Other than the check engine light) was a temp. gauge that showed my engine to be warming up a lot slower than normal. The Autel code reader gave me a code, plus three possible options as to what the problem might be. I took the code and went into my Kia maintenance manual, which showed the exact problem to be a thermostat stuck open. I replaced the thermostat and the check engine light went off and the temp. gauge showed my engine to be heating up normally again. This code reader took the guess out of what the problem might be.
For the price this scanner autel maxidas ds708 price does not only scan but is a dianostic tool. You can reprogram keys after getting the key code from the dealer and providing proof of ownership for free. Also you can reset ABS and re-program certain module's on some cars although not all. You need a J2534 tool for that to get complete re-programming capablilty. However for what you pay for it, it can do idle relearn's, calibrate the right seat Occupant Classification System module, and do deep body scans of your entire car/truck. You will be amazed how many items you have for it to scan. The radio on the newer cars are VIN coded and this can reprogram a replacement to work. Every thing newer then 2010 is getting very VIN specific and very detailed and difficult to replace a part without a tool like this. A basic OBD 2 will not do the job anymore. It does what it needs to do and does a very good job. For some cars/trucks older then 2010 it sometimes needs you to tell it what car it is, yet other times it finds it automaticly. Not much of an issue but some things don't work on some cars becasue they are still working on the software and updating it alot. For the price however you are getting autel maxisys ms908 scan tool a smoking hot deal. I just wish it was cheaper then $800 per year to update. I think that is too much. The first year is free. The fact that this scanner comes with all the connectors needed to work with older 1996 vehicles is awesome. You get basic OBD 1 codes easily displayed with this scanner.
