2-Year Free Updates (Promotion)

Globally Autel only provides 1 year of free updates in other countries…

• The core function of a diagnostic machine is to test certain makes & models to help reveal problems
• When you buy a diagnostic machine, one of the most important things to know is the coverage and functionality required

This will have a direct effect on the update cost (as this is directly related to the ongoing development of new coverage and improved functions)

• That is why it is important to rather buy from a specialist diagnostic brand that will guarantee this (Autel has over 500 engineers globally continuously working on software).
• It is also important to remember that updates are not just improvements for new models, but also updates based on improvements from data logs (the method customers give feedback when they have issues).

Depending on the brand (amount of engineers and effort towards updates), coverage and functionality.

• Autel MX808 = R2500 update fee
• Autel DS808 = R5500 update fee
• Autel MS906BT = R9800 update fee
• Autel MS909/MS919/Ultra = R18 000 update fee
• Globally Autel provides 1 year of free updates to all their dealers in other countries…
• autosupply has negotiated to make this 2 years for FREE (only to clients located in Africa)

For example: After 2 years, you could still use the machine for an additional 1 or 2 year period and then consider updating (or never update again – depends on your need for the latest models and functions)

There will be no penalty or catchup fees like other diagnostic brands

• As an example -> Even after 5 years with no updates, when you pay for your update you get caught up to all the latest software.

Autel MX808 vs Autel DS808 vs Autel MS906BT

The DS808 has similar diagnostic software to the MX808 Pro, but the DS808 has coding functions (MX808, MD808 have no coding, i.e. When replacing certain parts, you need to code them into the system)

The main difference between the DS808 and the MS906BT:

• MS906BT communicates with the car via Bluetooth communication (DS808 is hardline)
• MS906BT comes with a full kit of OBDI cables for the older models
• MS906BT has more coding functions then the DS808.
• The software of the DS808 and MS906BT is very similar. So the DS808 is a great value for money option, but if you want all the bells and whistles, check out the Autel MS906BT.
