Autel Scanner Authorization and Changing Language FAQ

The Autel scanner tool is powerful and useful, with multi-language support and strong vehicle coverage. Here, we will show the correct way to change the Autel Auto Diagnostic System scanner language after the scanner is authorized.

Except for a few Autel scanners that can switch languages without Autel support, most Autel scanner users need to provide the product SN. Autel supports adding a second language based on the SN, and the default is English.
