The Autel MP808Z-BT 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. The new hardware and software combined with all of it’s features and diagnostic 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 scanners seem to work in most cases where other scan tools can really struggle.
BEWARE: The previous 808 scan tools with their decade old operating system, and slower processors with barely enough RAM are still readily sold all over the internet today. Don’t be fooled. Most of these internet sales listings on various sites will CLAIM “New Version, 2023” etc…. But really, these are usually “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….. However, 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 new MP808Z-BT is probably the model to get!
Thanks for stopping by.
