don't buy an autel maxipro scanner. stops working after subscription

plenty of sources on the internet will reassure you that this scanner will work once the subscription runs out........it is a lie. It quit working as soon as it expired.
I just work on my cars at home. I don't need the latest and greatest. I just need it to work. it's now an $800 paperweight unless I pay them yearly.

    Try to update to a the software. The subscription has nothing to with unit. The subscription just allows you to download all the latest updates for it. Most will still work without an update but won't have the info for the latest vehicle models for the next few years. Like a computer running Windows 10 still works it's just not running on windows 11 which is the latest software update so far.

    This video almost scared me a bit, because I looked at a few reviews, and for an entry level scanner, they sounded positive so I just bought one today. Then I read the Comments.

    I don't think he's talking about the subscription He's talking about it doesn't read probably from 96 all the way maybe to 2003 I bought mine and it doesn't read older vehicles from 2003 all the way to down 1996 that sucks I hate that. "SAD" I'm thinking of returning mine I still have 20 days.
