The Autel MP808Z-TS is a brand new model for 2023. It features a new operating system of Android 11, which is roughly 10 years newer than the previous Android 4.4 that has been used on all the previous 808 scan tools. I also has a quicker processor, along with 4X the amount of ram compared to previous 808 models. The software in this new tool has been optimized to run smoother and faster on that new hardware. This is a full bidirectional control scanner, with a full featured TPMS tool included. You basically get a pro level bidirectional scan tool, along with a full feature TPMS tool all rolled into the same device. The TPMS functionality of this tool is equal to the MaxiTPMS TS608 stand alone TPMS tool, which is roughly 600 bucks (give or take) if you had to buy that tool by itself. The new hardware and software combined with all of it’s features between the diagnostic capabilities, and the TPMS capabilities, makes this one of the best scan tools on the market today, in my opinion. And best of all, it’s an Autel!…. No scan tool is perfect, but Autel tools seem to work in most cases where other scan tools can really struggle.
BEWARE: The older 808 scan tools with their ancient operating system, and slower processors with barely enough RAM are still readily sold all over the internet today. Don’t be fooled. All of these internet sales listings on various sites will CLAIM “New Version, 2023” etc…. But really, these are “new old stock” scan tools that have been in stock in various warehouses all around the world waiting for people to buy them. Then, once someone buys one of these older scan tools, the new owner will do a software update (because updates are included for 1 year) and instantly this older scan tool with SEEM new because it has the most current software….. but it’s still running on the old operating system, and still has the slower processor with 4X less RAM. If you’re in the market for an Autel 808, this is the model to buy!
