Many users feedback they prefer AUTEL MaxiSys Elite to Ford IDS, Snap On’s scanners,verus& MS908P. Here we go to read what they say.
- Being a 30-years Ford Master Technician, I preferAUTEL MaxiSys ElitetoVCM IDS.I never once have I had an issue with the Blue Tooth connection between the scanner and the VCM unlike what we use at Ford.Programs keys perfectly, bi-directional controls work flawless and is very fast processing of live data….WAY faster thanSnap OnVersus and the software especially for Ford is almost identical to Fords software with the IDS we use at the dealership…I actually prefer my Autel over the IDS now.
Power charge and update:The scanner can be charged with the charge cable or you can plug the charge cable into the stand and then simply set the scanner in and out of the stand as needed and it stays charged when docked between uses. I have it set up on myshopsWiFi and it lets me know when there are updates and they update often which I also like.
The same as Snap On’s scanners:The scanner can also be used as a tablet, has great resolution and does everything Snap On’s scanners do for a fraction of the price!
Wide coverage with everyadapters:AUTEL MaxiSys Elite is a nice heavy unit, not cheap and doesn’t feel cheap in your hands, comes with about every adapter you could ever need foreign and domestic for PCM hook up and can be easily expanded for oscilloscope and other options.
- AUTEL MaxiSys Elite compares withverus:
I could do everything theveruscan do and more since it comes with thepassthrough,performsbi directionaltests even turn on thewippersor honk the horn. Every test imaginable can be made with themaxisyspro or elite for 1/3 of the price of a newverus.Onlyreal downside is that you have a troubleshooter in theverusscanner and with theautelyou have a forum where you post every problem or doubt and other members of theautelcomunitywill help and give you solutions to your problems. Not a big problem but easily resolved withmitchellor all data.
Ivehad amaxisyspro since it can out it has performedflawlessly ,perfect. I own a small repair shop ranging fromamericanto importvehiclefrom gas to diesel (fordpowerstroke& dodgecummins) and have never had problems.
- AUTEL MaxiSys Elite compares with MaxiSYS Elite MS908P
In all my 12 years as atechI’ve used different scan tools and had never seen one as good as themaxisyspro and elite.
I will be posting photos of the differences between the new Elite and the Pro (which I use every day on my shop)
Thescreen is brighterbecause is retina display (much like anipad).
Thebootup process is very fasterthan the pro. The proaprox30 secs of boot up and 5-8 secs on the elite.
It hasone moreusbthat is very useful for connecting a mouse or a keyboard.
On the outside you will see ismuch thinner, lighter and rubber protection(feels more like hard plastic but its rubber) on the sides not on the corners like the pro (which are real rubber).
On the top rightcornerthere is aLED light that indicates the battery life which is great when you have the screen off. On theproyou have to turn the screen on to see battery life.
The elitecomewith a docking station where you can charge it or leave it out ofharmsway.
And more and more good feedback.
Hope this posthelpthose who are interested inAUTEL MaxiSysElite,but have noidealif it is worth the money.
