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 Unit1*OBDII Cable1*TF Memory Card1*User Manual1*Software CD1*USB Cable1*Protective Nylon CaseOverall 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.

If you’re an enthusiast who’s into their cars then this is probably the diagnostic tool for you!I bought this for use on both my BMW and also my partners Vauxhall Astra, so far, luckily, I’ve not had to use it in anger but I have used it to scan both vehicles to search for hidden issues.It can also display live information on your car such as fuel trims and o2 sensor voltage which can be useful in diagnosing certain issues.Bear in mind that the scan function is reliant on you downloading the relevant files for your make of vehicle, this is free for one vehicle make of your choice (so if you only use it on one vehicle then consider this free) with a one off charge of $10 for every additional make you want to add to the device.That being said if it’s just the basic obd2 DTS code reader function that you’re after then this will work on all vehicles (although again I haven’t had to use this yet)I’ll probably update this review as and when I use it more for diagnostics but so far I’ve been rather impressed with its ease of use and the information you can get out of it!

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! lolI 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.

What a shame! After a couple of message assurances that this would work with a Mitsubishi Shogun 2005 I actually found that it just wouldn't connect. The instructions in the box say load software using CD but that doesn't work, you have to register online with Autel and then download the appropriate software from there. Then I struggled to work out which software and how to do it, so went through about 10 emails to a guy in the US. He was very responsive and helpful hence the one star.So I downloaded the Mitsubishi suite to my reader and plugged it into my car. No joy, failed to connect! So all in all quite a few hours wasted to find out it wouldn't work.SO FOR ALL YOU BUDDING SHOGUN OWNERS, YOU DO INDEED NEED A MUT2 OR 3 COMPLIANT READER - MEGABUCKS - GO TO A GARAGE! (I am of course open to suggestions on other readers that will work!)
