Having used a few OBD Diagnostic readers now, I can’t recommend this Autel Code Reader Diaglink enough. This has diagnosed an EGR fault on my 2011 MK6 Volkswagen Golf which had illuminated the engine management light, stored and cleared the fault without issue, it had also retrieved a fault with the DPF pressure sensor which I wasn’t aware of which was causing the car to attempt to Regen on most journeys. Diagnosing faults can either be done via the OBDll option on the main menu or going through the Scan section of the menu. The OBDll instantly connects to the vehicle and provides you with the basic standard functions such as the code retrieval and removal, live data and a few tests such as the O2 monitor tests (if the vehicle supports that). The Scan menu allows the user to connect to each individual module within the car (Airbag ECU, ABS, Electric Parking Brake, Central Electrics) to perform tests, view live data and retrieve and remove codes which may be in the system. The device has also diagnosed a fault with a Faulty Brake pedal switch on my 2004 Clio Sport 182 which was causing the Cruise Control not to work, this didn’t appear on my Launch Code Reader Tool. The faulty switch has now been replaced and the cruise control now works perfectly. Faults and live data can also be stored directly on the device and reviewed on the device or on a PC using the included software. The item came well packaged and already inside the protective bag which is nice to keep everything together and protected. Items in box: 1*Main Unit 1*OBDII Cable 1*TF Memory Card 1*User Manual 1*Software CD 1*USB Cable 1*Protective Nylon Case Overall this code reader is brilliant, well built, reliable and well-priced (at the time of review it’s currently £89.90). The only drawback that this unit has is the price of the addons, you get one free and each add on after that is $10 maybe this could be a little cheaper? But other than that, it is fantastic.

I bought this as I needed a quick small and easy way to check for fault codes on cars before I work on them. As an auto electrician fitting aftermarket equipment to a wide range of vehicles I sometimes need to re set a airbag light due to having a seat out of a vehicle and this device will do that with ease. It can scan all the modules on most modern cars and show if there is a fault present which is very useful for something of this size and cost. It should be noted that this item DOES NOT come pre installed with software so you will need to activate the unit by setting up a account with Autel which is easy enough to do as for the software packages they are quite reasonably priced at $10 each so for example you could buy the Ford / Mazda package for $10 and it will work on all the Ford / Mazda range of cars and LCVs. Easy to use and cheap enough to buy even for the home user who just wants a way to re set a oil change light or remove a fault code after changing a sensor etc.

I spent weeks reviewing all sorts of OBD2 readers online and viewing reviews on Youtube etc, and am so glad that I bought this reader...it’s truly one of the best purchases I’ve made in years...it is already saving me way more than the cost of the reader...terrific value! Very quick delivery, and packaged well (ie easy to open). I have tried three other OBD2 readers, one that gave error codes not appropriate for my vehicle, and had not identified the errors I knew I had (and have specifically not rectified the faults that need rectifying until I was confident the code reader was genuinely capable)...and two code readers that worked...but were nowhere near as useful as this scanner, in that the codes were too simple or too generic, my Autel took several minutes on the first scan I made...but wow!...what a wealth of info it provided when finished! And importantly, it is the first reader that identified not only the correct error codes, but equally important to me, was the additional error codes it identified, that I had not been aware of...so can definitely recommend this tool. The Autel is a very well made tool, I expect this to last me years. What I also like about the tool is the information on the error codes make life so much easier...no need to Google codes, this reader brings up the error codes (both generic and specific to manufacturer and model), and identifies what the fault is....awesome! The reader has a nice sized screen that is easy to read. But what I really, really like about this tool is the simplicity in use – it is so well designed, even if you’ve never used an ODE2 code reader before, you’ll feel like a DIY auto diagnostic-expert in no time at all...now if only I could develop my DIY mechanics to match the tool! lol I should mention that I had some problems getting my unit to work on Windows 10 – for some reason it kept crashing the minute I hit the ‘update’ button on the unit. However, the Autel (Ebest-zone) customer services were awesome – my messages were not only replied really fast, but it was clear that Autel take customer services seriously as they went out of their way to not only understand what the problem was, but also to resolve the problem, and I was up and running in no time. I’m aware that sometimes product reviews get overlayed for ‘similar’ products, so to be clear, my unit is the ‘Autel Diaglink (DIY Version of MD802) Code Reader’, and the seller and customer services were from ‘Ebest-zone’. Finally, with so many fake readers out there, this unit is 100% genuine Autel.

The description of the scanner should clearly state that the models of car are up to 2013. After having spent a lot of time to download the update of the maker of my car (the download process is not user friendly at all), with disbelief I discovered that the scanner for Citroen covers models up to 2013. I don't understand why in the description of the product is written that there are free lifetime updates when instead the newest cars are models of 7 years ago! What kind of updates are these ones? Every update is released every 10 years? And then you should pay another 8 pounds to have another maker with models up to 2013? Nice the idea for a device that does all these things but the reality is that even if your car is not newer than 2013 and you can use it now, as soon as you change the car, unless they will release new updates for more recent models and nobody knows if they will do it, this device is useless

Got the £89 version & because could also get the 1 free manufacturer, in my case Hyundai this is all I need for what I think is a very good price. My 2007 UK Santa Fe had airbag light come on. I suspected the clock spring as radio & cruise controls have been dodgy for some time and this was most likely the issue. I have a few different ELM cheapy BT OBDII readers with Torque & other apps but none detect air bag stuff so I hoped this would. I was concerned as most are a good few hundred £'s and wondered if this would be up to it being not too bad. It detected Air Bad fault, bad resistance. Would not clear, I guess as fault still there. Replaced clock spring. Sent clear code & all OK. Light went out & says no error codes. very pleased as saved I imagine far more than the cost of the scanner if I had taken to garage & now I have for other scanning.

I bought it for the convenience of diagnosing fault codes on my car and my wife's. The device works very well, it seems rugged enough and luckly doesn't need an external power source. I have two negatives, hence taking off those stars: the first is that I installed the Saab package but the device fails to give specific informations. For example, I had a P2279. The GM Tech 2 gives additional codes, in this case P2279 11 or P2279 12 for mass airflow too low or too high. This tool doesn't shows that. I then got a P1109 which the tool reports as "Manufacturere specific code" (it's actually a fault of the swirl flaps actuator, which should have additional codes). The other negative is that Dash Command (or Torque) are a cheaper solution with more engine infos from the sensors, and since they are on the phone you only need to carry the Bluetooth/WiFi dongle instead.

I triggered fault during my aftermarket stereo installation which resulted in Airbag Light staying on. After much research didn't want to pay technician £50-£100 ONLY for resetting the code, and hoping I won't be charged for "some other issues" on top of that. After setup of device (around 20 mins) I plugged it in and ran diagnostics (5-10 mins). Reset the airbag code and issue didn't appear since. The biggest downside for some, will be the fact that you need to download and pay for each car make "individually" ($10 - around £7-£8), but if you have 1-2 car makes in household, it still will be on a low end cost compared to most other devices. Car makes are grouped, which means you buy software for all makes associated with, such as: 1. BMW + Mini 2. Renault + Dacia 3. Audi + Volkswagen + Skoda + Bentley + Bugatti + Seat 4. Vauxhall + Opel 5. Citroen + Peugeot 6. Porsche 7. Volvo 8. Jaguar + Landrover 9. Fiat + Alfa 10. Toyota + Lexus + Scion 11. Honda + Acura 12. Hyundai + Kia 13. Mitsubishi 14. Subaru 15. Holden + AU Ford 16. GM 17. Chrysler 18. Ford 19. Suzuki + Isuzu 20. Smart + Benz 21. Saab

On first seeing the code, it doesn't tell you that you have to purchase the information for every car that you want to do a faulty code check. It's an expensive code reader because it doesn't come fully loaded unlike the Maxidas 802 or fill all cars. Because once you buy those two you don't have to purchase anything. This one compared to the other two is like you buy information for 10cars will cost you about £85 plus the cost price of £89 will come to £174 more or less the price for a Maxidas 802 and also it will be for only 10 cars and yet you've got loads more to do. I'm not impressed with product at all, if I had known I could have saved and bought the expensive one with all the information in it. The price was quite deceiving and the information it comes with.
