[accordion-item title=”Why is it important for most of our customers to keep their software updated?”]

• 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).

[/accordion-item]
[accordion-item title=”Why are some update fee’s more expensive than others?”]

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

[/accordion-item]
[accordion-item title=”The 2-year free software update promotion”]

• 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.

Wireless Connection:

• Maxisys MS906BT wireless diagnostic interface supports both BT and USB. The BT pairing is recommended as the first choice, and the working range for BT communication is about 164 feet (about 50m). Due to this advantage, you can perform vehicle diagnosis freely around the workshop with greater convenience.

Service Functions

• Doing regular and routine maintenance on a modern car is impossible without a diagnostic system. Even the simplest procedures require the participation of an auto scanner. That’s why Autel engineers have been working on them and making them as user-friendly as possible in the new MaxiSys MS906BT. Now you can easily do functions like:

1. Reset and install service intervals
2. Oil Reset: Reset the oil change calculator in the engine and automatic transmission
3. EPB: Replacement of brake pads on vehicles with an electric parking brake
4. SAS: Adaptation of the sensor to the angular position of the steering wheel
5. DPF: Regeneration of diesel particulate filter
6. Brake Bleed: ABS Brake Bleeding
7. ​​BMS: Battery registration and reset
8. Seats, Injector, CHG tire size, TEC Learn, Suspension, Throttle, WIN OR ROOF, Lang Change, Headlam

Autel MS906BT Digital & Graphical Display of Parameters

• Using MaxiSys MS906BT you can display the parameters of the system conveniently. So my parameters are more likely to be monitored in analog form, for example, pressure. Some parameters are more conveniently viewed in graphical form, by observing their change in time (potentiometer, oxygen sensor). Some parameters must be displayed in the graph to observe changes relative to each other (for example, air mass flow and engine speed). Only in Maxisys, all these ways of displaying are available for all parameters and all components, regardless of the makes and models of the car.

Autel Maxisys MS906BT Bi-directional Control

• Component Test service enables bi-directional control of the ECM so that the ms906bt diagnostic tool is able to transmit control commands to operate the vehicle systems. This function is useful in determining whether the ECM responds to command well.

Autel Maxisys MS906BT ECU Coding

• Coding functions are usually used by advanced specialists. Coding is conditionally divided into two types:

1. The first is MS906BT computer coding during replacement, commissioning, used to install a new computer in the car. When performing the procedure, the computer is informed of vehicle’s VIN, the configuration and other information necessary for correct operation.
2. The second is the coding of the computer for tuning the body electronics to the user, usually the BCM. The procedure will allow you to offer the customer individual customization of the car for him, locking the doors, setting alarms, the function “lead to home”, setting the salon and outdoor lighting, etc

Autel Maxisys MS906BT Adaptation & Initialization

• After replacement, for repair or cleaning of some sensors and many actuators of electronic systems, an adaptation or initialization procedure is required. When performing this procedure, the basic values of their work, the reference point, are established. In a modern car, there are many such elements that require similar procedures, which makes these functions vital for the service. In MaxiSys systems, these procedures are presented at the dealer level.

Autel MS906BT Add-ons：

• Maxisys MS906BT is a diagnostic scanner with various interfaces that can access to more Add-on like Inspection Camera, HDMI Projector, Phone, PC, USB Memory Stock, Headset, Oscilloscope, Extend SD Card etc.

1. MS906BT connects to an MV108 inspection camera and turns into a video inspection scope, allowing you to examine difficult-to-reach areas normally hidden from sight. It is capable of recording digital still images and videos, which offers you an economical solution to inspect machinery, facilities, and infrastructure in a safe and quick way.
2. MS906BT works with MP408 oscilloscope providing you an insight to the inner workings of a vehicle’s electronic circuits. Featuring the user-friendly UI design combined with the unrivaled hardware specs is able to measure and test virtually all the electrical and electronic components and circuits in any modern vehicles.

Autel DS808 vs Autel MS906BT vs Autel MS909/MS919/Ultra

The main difference between the MS906BT and the DS808 (R16500exVAT)

• 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 gets software updates (specifically coding updates) earlier than 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, the Autel MS906BT is the way to go.

The main difference between the MS906BT and the MS909/MS919/Ultra

• Online Coding / Reprogramming (updating ECU’s, changing parameters or parts, J2534 pass-through flashing capabilities) (you must be within updates to access online coding)
  • • Autel has its own online server for Mercedes Benz, BMW, VAG (VW, Audi, Seat, Skoda), Porsche, Nissan & Infiniti
    • For other OEM’s you can use the J2534 interface with the PC/Laptop
