Autel MaxiDAS DS708 Great for the price.

Autel MaxiDAS DS708 Great for the price.
had the scanner for about a month so far and i love it,
it does everything the genesys and the high end snap-on scanner do for less then a quarter of the price.

they always have new updates, which i consider a very good thing.

the only downside to the unit is that it will take some getting used to and the menu is not unified, for example, if you want to check the ECU, under some manufactures it will be listed as ECU unit, others PCM units, others something different. also for certain cars, like an 01 f350 diesel (they just recently released the update to support ford diesel)you will not find the diesel option under the F350, instead you have to look for the engine model in the menu where you select the car model, those are minor things for and for me and they dont bother me much

i have used it on 2001 mercedes S500 (W220 body) and it scanned a total of 41 different systems, i didn't even know the car had that many systems, it scanned everything from AC to Radio, Navigation, Insturment cluster, ABS, Airmatic, Airbags......etc

overall im very happy with it, and highly recommend it, especially considering the price.

Autel MaxiDAS DS708 Scanner

Autel MaxiDAS DS708 Scanner
I am impressed with the user-friendly capabilties of this scanner. I used this scanner extensively on european vehicles. I was impressed on all the systems that the DS-708 can go into. The merging of sensor readings on graphing is great in finding, and diagnosing sensor problems.
