Which Autel MaxiSys is best?

As we all know, Autel has multiple product series, and its main functions are different according to different product series. Similar to MaxiCOM and MaxiPro, the Autel MaxiSys series focuses on basic automobile diagnosis, comprehensive maintenance, and common special functions. The product form of this series is a tablet computer, which often needs to be used with VCI. There is no essential difference between the MaxiSys series and the other two series. The only difference may be the difference in sales channels. In the beginning, the Autel of MaxiSys series planned to sell only offline channels, while the other two series focused on online sales. However, with time, this restriction seems to be gradually abolished. Therefore, you can see the MaxiSys series through online sales channels (such as OBDPRICE and Amazon).

There are several products under the MaxiSys series, namely MaxiSys Elite, MaxiSys CV, MaxiSys MS908S Pro, MaxiSys MS908S,  MaxiSys MS906TS, MaxiSys MS906BT, and MaxiSys MS906. So, Which Autel Maxisys is best?

I believe most people may think that the most expensive MaxiSys series products are the best. I think this is irresponsible. The best does not mean appropriate. We should first know what functions we want before buying, and then choose what is suitable for us, rather than blindly choosing the most expensive products, resulting in a waste of money.

Let's make an in-depth comparison of several products under the maxisys series. I believe you can choose the best autel maxisys for you through our comparison.

First, let's look at this chart.

The chart above clearly shows some differences:

1. Compared with other products, MaxiSys CV lacks some functions, such as ECU coding, ECU programming, pre-scan report, post-scan report, TPMS, and ADAS.

2. MaxiSys Elite and MaxiSys MS908s Pro have more ECU programming functions than other products.

3. For the function of pre-scan report & post-scan report, Maxisys MS906ts does not lock the area, while MaxiSys Elite, MaxiSys MS908S Pro, MS908S, MaxiSys MS906BT, MaxiSys MS906 can only be used in North America, so if you want to use this function in other regions, you have only one choice.

4. Only Maxisys MS906TS supports the TPMS function in these products, so you have no choice for this function.

5. As for the ADAS function, I don't think many people can use it, because it needs to be combined with the expensive ADAS calibration tool unless you are in a large garage.

We have understood the basic differences. Let's take a look at the characteristics of each product.

Stop Being Bound with OE Setting

Due to the difficulty of the ECU coding, it may trouble quite a lot of mechs and their business. But it’s also one of the most profitable projects. So the Autel scanner won’t let the easy money fly away from you. The 2021 Autel MK906BT has the power to access the deepest part of the ECU, which means you can tune the ignition time, tune the oil injection, adjust the air intake, and tune the auto gearbox shift point, etc. The Autel MK906BT is born to shorten the distance between you and the freezing steel!

Send the Orders to the ECU

Before taking every part off, bi-directional control might be necessary. It could save you time and your troubles. Instead of being an order receiver, the Autel scan tool could command the ECU to conduct the test. Such as lifting up or down the windows, switching on or off the window wipers, turn on or off the headlamps. The Autel MK906BT would pinpoint the problems before tearing your car apart.

Capture Every Detail

All system diagnostic is a shortcut we offer you to have an insight look of the engine or other systems. So, you would be crystal clear about what’s going on underneath the hood. Reading the freeze frame, reviewing the live data, clear the codes or recodes of the individual system such as Engine, Automatic Transmission, Anti-lock Braking System, Supplemental Restraint System, etc.
