A review of the Autel DS808K OBD2 diagnostic scan tool with new features as of June 1st 2022. The DS808K is a diagnostic scan tool kit with full bidirectional control and with a full set of OBD1 adapters. This scan tool has the same features and functionality as the larger 906, but in the 808 line of scan tools. It’s been about two years since I featured an Autel scanner on this channel and it was a nice change to finally get to use one again. Autel scanners have always been at the top of the food chain for imported scan tools and this one is no different. This tool is very powerful with it’s complete full bidirectional control ability and it’s software that is relatively free of glitches. It just works, and it works smoothly! On June 1st 2022 Autel sent out a full line of updates for the 808 family of scan tools. This particular model of 808 has always had the same functionality as the 906 but it did gain the ability to be compatible with FCA “Auto Auth” which is needed for some functions when working on 2018 and newer Fiat / Chrysler Automobiles. If you want to have have full access to those vehicles, you will need a scan tool compatible with “Auto Auth” and this tool has that ability. It also gained the “Digital Inspection” function which is the ability to operate the Autel MV105/108 digital inspection camera directly on this scan tool. If you’re in the market for a very capable full bidirectional control scan tool that runs smoothly with no glitches, be sure to take a good look at the Autel DS808K.
