Do you have to pay every year in order for this OBD reader to work ? If you dont pay does that still work ? Do you need to have internet to used it ? If you don't updates does that still work without updates ? Out from the box can you used it without wifi or internet ? Can this scan for Fuel Pressure ? And can this do compression test ?

All your reviews about the capabilities of the unit are tops unlike those reviews of so many trying to sell the product, Scan Tool Network for example. And it seems you respond to questions. Doing a BMS, can you actually enter the Ah capacity (92) and the battery type or are you limited to a list of Ah ratings?

@DIYAutoworksNG

2 жыл бұрын

For a beginner, and for the need that you mentioned, a simple code reader with access to manufacturer codes may be all you need. Depending on budget, you can start with this and upgrade over time as your knowledge increases. If budget is not an issue, you could also start with something that has access to other ECU's in the car in addition to the engine. E.g. Transmission, ABS and SRS. Either way, having even a basic code reader is better than nothing even if it's the Bluetooth dongles, just be sure to not leave it permanently plugged in. Otherwise, you could look out for things like the Autel ms300, ms309 or AL319. There also similar offerings from XTool, Ancel, etc. My first scanner was an ELM bluetooth scanner dongle. Sold for less than $5. Learnt a lot with it!

I haven't used the Thinkcar Thinktool (TT) but from my quick review online, the modular design does make it attractive as you can add on more features that the MP808TS does not support through the purchase of modules e.g videoscope, printer etc. It also claims to cover more vehicles. Caveat: out of the box, I did read you will only have softwares for 5 makes free. On face value, the TT does look better, however, I noted it appears to have fewer functions: 16 vs 30 in favor of MP808TS. One also has to look closely at update frequency in making decisions. E.g the MP808TS had 25 service functions, about the time I got it, but though updates, it now has 30+. Not saying it has the better update frequency as I am not sure how often TT releases updates. On updates, Autel is damn good. In all, it appears as though if you get all the advertised modules of the TT, you would be competing with a higher range Autel scanner not the MP808TS.

There are several variants of the Launch X431 so it depends. Generally, for the variants at a similar price point, they are comparable. I have never used a Launch so may not be in the best position to say. Some people say Autel is more user friendly which was a major determinant when I was making a purchase. The 'TS' in the MP808TS supports more functions. In all, I feel its down to preference and the cars you plan to use the scanner on. Some of the listed functions for both Launch and Autel are vehicle specific. Hope this helps!
