Autel MaxiCOM MK808BT PRO

The MK808BT PRO is the practical middle of Autel's range - a wireless Bluetooth VCI paired with a 7-inch tablet, giving full-system diagnostics and bi-directional control at a price that suits a small garage or a serious enthusiast rather than a diagnostic specialist.

The wireless connector is what makes it pleasant to use. Plug the VCI into the OBD port and the tablet is free to travel with you - under the bonnet while you actuate a component, or in the passenger seat while a colleague drives and you watch live data.

Who we recommend this for

• Small independent garages - enough capability for the majority of everyday diagnostic work.
• Serious home mechanics - if you do your own repairs and want to see every module rather than just the engine.
• Anyone buying used cars - a full pre-purchase scan reveals faults a seller may not have mentioned.

Probably not the right tool if…

You need daily ECU coding across many makes or J2534 programming - look at the MaxiCOM MK906 Pro or higher. If you only want to read and clear engine codes occasionally, something far cheaper will do.

Typical jobs it handles

• Full-system scan across every control module
• Bi-directional active tests to confirm faulty components
• Oil, service, EPB and steering angle resets
• DPF regeneration on supported vehicles
• Battery registration on start-stop vehicles
• Pre-purchase inspection of used cars
