Autel AP200 Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner Code Reader with Full Systems Diagnoses, AutoVIN, Oil/EPB/BMS/SAS/TPMS/DPF Resets IMMO Service for Family DIYers (DIY Version of MK808)

Have purchased this based on the good reviews and am very impressed with it, as I was thinking of spending upto £400 on ones with their own display. This uses a bluetooth OBDII adapter that connects to your smart phone to display the results. You get one maker of vehicle free, but if you have several makes of car like Audi, Porsche, BMW etc. then each brand will cost about £20 to add on. The reader uses the vehicle VIN number to get accurate results specific to your model of car, and it even tells me all the options that are fitted to my Land Rover. It will read and clear fault codes, reset your battery monitor after fitting a new battery, and lots more. I have been using it recently to diagnose faulty parking sensors on my Mercedes CLK, and using live data function you can see the distance measurements that each sensor is detecting, so even if a sensor does not have a code you can see if it is taking measurements. One sensor did have a fault code, but I found another that was faulty but no fault code. Depending on what you are diagnosing you can display graph or dial displays of live data. The only function this scanner does not have that maybe useful is actuator testing, for example if you wanted to switch the fuel pump on/off or test the operation of a door lock motor, but you would need to spend a lot more money if you needed that function which in most cases you don't need it.

I have used this for over 6 months and its been great. I love the fact that it connects to your phone via Bluetooth so you dont need a cable hanging around and getting in the way. You can sit in the passenger seat and watch the live data while a friend drives the car. The main reason for buying it was the fact that it reads at dealer level. I have a Seat Altea which is VW underneath so getting dealer level information is great. When you first connect the device it allows you to connect 1 car make to the dongle for free. That will be free for the life of the unit. Other makes are available, in fact almost every other make i can think of. They cost about £20 for each extra make which is i think a great price as you cannot even get a cable for that fopr other makes! The device has updated its firmware automatically so keeping itself upto date. I can only speak as i find, for VW ( Seat ) diagnostics its been well worth the money and i would happily recommend it to anyone. Phil

I am no expert in sorting out car problems. I have had issues with the battery management system with my Land Rover Discovery Sport. Battery would appear not to hold charge and regular messages saying engine needs to be turned on to charge the battery.....even when I had fully charged it with a smart charger which indicated that the battery was fine. This device was easy to use and allowed me to reset the battery management system. No problems after 3 weeks and the stop/ start function on the car has started working again. Saved me wasting money on a new battery and money to get the problem diagnosed. Very impressive.

****UPDATE/1 star review as the device has completely stopped working. You can see the device has power because the light is glowing red and it also connects to the maxi app no problem. However when trying to use the diagnostic function it comes up saying (vci box locked and being reviewed you can unlock once review is complete. I’v sat in the car for over an hour many times waiting for this to happen but nothing ever changes and the device is not useable. The second you get fed up and then the ignition off to get out of your car the device powers down and the app will not work until it reconnects. I’v contacted Autel many times with no response they have got the worst customer after sales support I’v ever come across. Very very unhappy because it was a fantastic tool that now is completely pointless. Original review- Only 4 stars as the app you have to download for it to work is not the easiest to use. Personally I downloaded the vw audi version as I have a seat exeo 2.0tdi. It works very well but it is ridiculous that to add more than the first brand of vehicle its about £20 extra and only lasts 1 year. In the cold weather my car wasn't running well and after a scan it was indicating that cylinder 1 glow plug circuit was faulty. So bought myself 4 new bosch glow plugs from euro car parts. The service manual states they are recommended to be changed every 60,000 miles anyway. Wow what a bitch of a job luckily didn't snap off any of the old ones and low and behold the plug that came out of cylinder one was missing a bit off the end compared with the others. Car starts and runs perfectly and now I'm confident that it will be able to diagnose any future faults.

Brilliant product with numerous functions. Works effortlessly and just as good as some of the more expensive all in one models with the screen. Tablet and mobile just as good. Uses many functions so far and works well Inc dpf regen and injector change and recoding. Only one vehicle licence at purchase but all our cars are same manufacturer so no issues. Easy enough to purchase other at a reasonable cost to make this ideal for multiple vehicles from various manufacturers. A must for home car repairs. Easy to use and reasonably intuitive

A product that promises the world and totally doesn't deliver, I was so disappointed firstly you are buying essentially on the reader unit and the software. Autel then have you over a barrel with a yearly subscription at £20.00 per manufacturer so in my household we would need to buy subscriptions for 3 manufacturers ! But i thought I would give it ago anyway. As I needed to investigate an issue quickly. my experience was as follows: 1. Software crashes on install, it needed several updates just to get the software on the phone. 2. It says it covers every model and manufacturer - it doesn't ! I have a 2013 Mercedes Vito and this model isn't supported ! 3. If you have multiple cars in your household and from different manufacturers it will be very expensive. In conclusion I paid much more for the icar Pro which is a great bit of kit.

Fantastic piece of kit. Allowed me to find multiple faults with my Ford Focus MK2 and clear them. It had been randomly flashing warning lights at me, often going into 'acceleration reduced' mode and sometimes not starting at all. Once I got this device going it identified 8 faults, including the Instrument Console, the immoboliser (the car thought it was being stolen, which is why it wouldn't start) and it was getting confused about my speed. Apart from stopping the lights/limp mode/starting problems, once I cleared the faults the car itself started driving much better and accelerating much more smoothly which I didn't expect at all. Even if there is a genuine problem somewhere and the faults return and won't stay cleared, at least I'll be able to talk to my mechanic with a bit of knowledge about what might need to be done, hopefully leading to a much smaller bill. This thing really is well worth the price.

BE VERY, VERY CAREFUL! These Autel MaxiAP AP200 Bluetooth units are NOT supported by Autel in the UK! They come from autel.com (China) and work reasonably well unless you have a car that uses a protocol that is not supported. I bought a Volvo, downloaded and paid for the Volvo add on in the app, it did not work. I emailed their technical support (autel.com) but have had not a single reply. Shocking customer support from Autel.com. Autel in the UK much easier to deal with, they answer phones and email. They advised me that the unit I bought is a grey import, did not have the protocols to talk to my Volvo, and made a recommendation on the unit to buy in the UK which I will likely purchase in the coming months. That is what customer support should be like. BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT YOU BUY, DO YOU RESEARCH, MAKE SURE IT IS FIT FOR PURPOSE. OTHERWISE YOU WILL ALSO BE SUBJECT TO SHOCKING CUSTOMER SUPPORT FROM AUTEL.COM!

Acquistato per la diagnosi amatoriale di una Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.2 diesel 210cv. Scaricata l'app ufficiale seguendo le indicazioni del foglio illustrativo, effettuata la connessione con il dispositivo tramite un telefono android, l'app permette di scaricare gratuitamente un software per l'OBD e uno per la marca dell'auto (ulteriori altre marche a pagamento). Fatto ciò, a quadro acceso e motore spento puoi effettuare autodiagnosi, con lettura e cancellazione di codice errore e oltre a ciò permette la diagnosi in live, cioè a motore acceso e in marcia puoi vedere diversi parametri tra olio, turbina, gira, farfalle, filtri e non so che altro, poiché la mia preparazione in materia è molto scarsa. Facile da installare e configurare fa il suo lavoro e spegne le spie di errore, anche spia motore. Non so cosa altro aggiungere se non che ha una miriade di dati del veicolo durante la modalità real time o live come la volete chiamare. Soddisfatto.

Je l ai employé sur une Fiat Punto 55 de I années 96 avec un adaptateur ancienne prise obd fiat et obd2. Fonctionne très bien. J avais toujours le voyant de l injection qui s allumait, l obd2 Autel AP 200 à détecté la panne qui venait du calculateur. J'ai remplacé le calculateur et la voiture fonctionne parfaitement. Problème réglé.

Lo uso para un Range Rover y un Opel. Tiene tantas opciones que no las llego a utilizar todas. Es bastante completo en cuanto a la función "live data" (datos en directo). Se incluye una primera marca a elegir gratuita, se pueden ir comprando los accesos a mas marcas.

Cet appareil n'a pas fonctionné avec ma Dacia sandero stepway de 2017. Le sav d'autel ne donne pas de support aux produits vendus par l'intermédiaire d'autres distributeurs. Appareil retourné a l'expéditeur pour remboursement.

No vale en mi Audi A3 8p no borra los fallos que me salen en el coche y tengo varios fallos como el airbag i otros fallos y no los borra , luego tienes que pagar para hacer un diagnóstico a cualquier coche solo es gratuito un vehículo el precio de cada vehículo nuevo es de 20 euros
