2.Handheld diagnostic tool:Autel MD808 or Autel MD802 (Full System) or Foxwell NT510,which is the best?

Reviews of these three scanners: Autel MD808, Autel MD802 (Full System) and Foxwell NT510. After finish reading this post, you will agree both are fine to own. :-D

 

Review 1:

I have the NT510 with GM program. The NT 510 is the most powerful of these. The truth is that when you look for low cost solutions you must give up something. Be it slow speed or functions. The options are reasonable cost or spend the big bucks for a pro setup. If you need bi-directional including key programming, epb, auto brake bleeding etc, the Foxwell does them for low cost. The display is small and it is not very fast but it does work. The Autel models have a larger display and are faster but don't do as much. No one can make the decision for you unfortunately. Check the manufacturers description of the capabilities of each product and choose the one that does what you need.

 

Review 2:

It sucks when I give a recommendation and it turns out wrong for the guy. The Autel is faster, but does not do what the Foxwell will do. The Foxwell is less expensive too. I have both and think they are both good products.

 

Review 3:

Foxwell NT510 comes with your choice of 1 manufacturers software. You can also purchase up to 5 more manufacturers software at about $60.00 ( the last time I checked) before the 510 is as full as it can get. I think if you need more then you must remove 1 to put in another. Given the amount of functions possible with the 510 it is a good buy. The Autel is faster and has a cleaner interface, but the Foxwell does more. It is a tough decision to make about which one will be better for you. I purchased both and have used both.

 

Review 4:

Got the Autel MD808 Pro on Friday and this thing is amazing. Did a full scan(all modules) on a 2012 Pilot and it really picked this thing apart. I need to find and print an updated acronym list and all will be good. For the price this thing is hard to beat.

 

Review 3:

The maxicheck used to be able to do TPMS, but they removed it. If you purchased it recently, you could probably return it for that particular reason. It seems common for them to remove specific functions from one or the other to reduce overlap in functions that a scan tool can perform so they can sell even more tools. If they did a better job of updating what each tool can do, I think they would sell even more of them. It's best to contact autel directly and ask about specific functions before committing to purchasing one due to all the outdated information that still is posted on various sites. If you look at some of the comparison charts for example, you would still see that the Maxicheck is listed as having tpms capability. I emailed autel about the MD808 a while back specifically asking what it could do tpms related. The representative that responded said it could read live tpms data, but could not register sensor id's.

Short term fuel trim and RPM should work for this test
autel-md808-testing-13
Maximum graphs allowed is only 2 at a time
/autel-md808-testing-14
autel-md808-testing-15
There is also no amplitude adjustment for the graphs
autel-md808-testing-17
At least the graphs has a quick response time
A combined graph
Have to edit the contrast because it is difficult to see
/autel-md808-testing-18
Personally would not recommend using the merged graphs because it’s not easy to see and keep track
I guess, in some occasion, having a merged graph is better than none
 
Enter on-board monitor test (mode 6)

Also not all the test id’s applies to this vehicle
Here’s an example of translated id’s of the same car from my another scanner

autel-md808-testing-31
Here is the major downside of this scanner
There’s no auto id
autel-md808-testing-32
autel-md808-testing-33
The scanner is updated, but for some reason, the latest is the year 2014 (the vehicle is a 2016)
autel-md808-testing-34
Good luck on knowing the engine
autel-md808-testing-35
All vehicle information

Auto scan

Since the scanner is a regular MD808, it will show Engine, Trans, ABS and SRS only
If someone here is looking for MD808 for full-system diagnostic, you can go to https://www.obdexpress.co.uk/wholesale/autel-maxidiag-md808-pro.html
autel-md808-testing-38
Enter ECU and read live data
autel-md808-testing-39
autel-md808-testing-40
The data list seems to be mixed around where some can be graphed and some cannot
autel-md808-testing-41
autel-md808-testing-42
But there seems to be a bit of second lag when existing the control unit
autel-md808-testing-42
I give this Autel MD808 a 3.9 Star as a first impression because it could be better for its price. (Rating may change after further testing)
 
At least compared to the Launch crp129 I used in the past, the MD808 is the clear winner.
