Product Review - Autel Maxicom MK908P Car Diagnostic Scanner

Autel Maxi COM MK908P is the newest member of Autel's diagnostics series, which is an upgrade of its famous sister MS908.autel maxicom mk908p MK908P boasts a massive 50% improvement in speed versus competing systems, a powerful 10.1 inch touch screen with a high resolution of 1920 x 1200 LED friendly LED display. And just like the bigger brother, it comes with free software, too.

Like many other modern car diagnostic tools, this product uses a patented multi-directional control technology to manage and diagnose problems in the automobile computer system.autel maxicom mk908p autel maxicom mk908p Multi-directional control (or multi-touch control as it is commonly referred to) is a state-of-the-art technology that allows any instrument to detect and fix problems in one or more areas of the vehicle's computer system quickly and efficiently. It makes sense, really. A car diagnostic tool designed for multi-directional control has the ability to read and recognize specific problems in multiple modes simultaneously. With its unique abilities, the Multi Directional Control MSM performs better than competing brand's instruments in many ways.

One way this tool is different from others is in the way it accesses the information it needs.autel maxicom mk908p autel maxicom mk908p Auto-ixels (the symbol designations used by some OEM's) are used to show symbols as well as generic icons on the touch-screen. The Maximo MK908P uses the full system diagnostics suite which includes RTPS and DSMS. This means that when it detects a problem, it can be fixed rather than having to rely on the memory to remember what codes or symbols were corrupted. The advantage to this over traditional methods of detecting problem is that once the error is fixed, it doesn't require a restart to restore the vehicle to factory specifications.

The Maximo MK908P's battery connector scanner and LED power meter is the only part of the entire diagnostic tool that is powered by the battery.autel maxicom mk908p autel maxicom mk908p To help reduce maintenance time and prevent missteps, this diagnostic tool has a neat and simple interface. Its LCD screen is clear and easy to read even with the naked eye. The two power buttons allow the user to activate or deactivate the scanner and LED lights while in use. The two volume buttons control the brightness of the LEDs and also help to scroll through the menu options of the LCD screen.

While the diagnostic tools of some other brand names may boast about their cool features, the Maximo MK908P's main objective is simplicity. This vehicle diagnostic tool features a single LED screen with very simple and clear instructions. Other brands of auto scan tools feature multicolored bars and flashing lights that are confusing to the average user. However, the MK908P's scanner and LED lights are extremely clear and easy to use. The only disadvantage to this product is its lack of advanced tools such as trouble shooting menus and a startup guide.

Another positive factor about the Maximo MK908P's battery regeneration capability is that it takes just 10 seconds to bring the vehicle from a complete standstill to a full speed without the need for further fuel. In contrast, other brands of auto scan tools that utilize battery regeneration processes take up to two hours to bring a vehicle to a speed which will require more fuel. The Maximo brand uses an advanced process called regeneration which preserves battery charge for the shortest period. It is also capable of regenerating the charge for extended periods in extreme weather conditions.
