Autel DS808

Autel Maxidas DS808 is an upgrade of DS708. Its processing power and functions are much more improved. That includes reading and clearing codes, providing live data, running active tests, matching, adaptation, and ECU information.

Overall, it brings efficiency
and convenience to the diagnostic process. And that makes it a handy possession for all your vehicle diagnosis and analysis tasks. Autel DS808 not only has complete OBD2 functions but can also access all available vehicles ECUs and perform OE-Level Diagnosis. With
23 most commonly used service functions like Oil Reset, EPB, SAS Calibration, ABS Brake Bleeding, IMMO keys and intuitive interface, it’s considered an ideal diagnose and service scanner tool pick for home mechanics and DIYers. It comes with vehicle coverage of 80
makes of American, European and Asian vehicles.

Some Specific Features
(1).Operating system
Based on Android 4.4.4, this scan tool features a 1.5GHz Cortex-A9 processor and 32GB memory support. Installed with a fast quad-core processor, DS808 offers maximum convenience and efficiency for your diagnosis and analysis. The OS and processor account
for its ability to multitask and perform faster than most other diagnostic scanners. On its part, the large memory allows you to organize files and applications conveniently. The DS808 could easily be the best in the organization of vehicle records, customer information and diagnostic files. The OS and software update automatically with real-time push message notifications thanks to the built-in Wi-Fi module.

(2). All Systems OE-Level Diagnosis
Autel DS808 is a diagnostic scan tool that can access all available ECU modules including EPS, PDM, TPM, BCM, ABS, etc. The ECU modules it can access depend on how many ECU modules a car comes with. And it performs OE-Level diagnosis on all available systems
like ABS, SRS(Airbag), Engine, Transmission, Brake Systems and etc. With complete capability of reading, clearing codes on all systems, showing live data in graph or text on the 7-inch LCD touch screen, it can review freeze frame data. DS808 scanner is a great tool for mechanics.

(3). Functionality
Besides the basic OBD diagnostic functions (like reading and erasing codes, live data, and active tests), the DS808 also supports special functions. They include TPMS programming, Oil reset, EPB service, automatically bleed the ABS module, SAS calibration, DPF registration,
Relearn the crankshaft position sensor and so many more. Autel DS808 is designed for professional mechanics and auto service operators. Autel DS808 comes with 18 special functions.
Oil Reset: Reset service mileage & service intervals after engine oil is changed.
ABS/SRS Services: Perform various active/ functional tests to check ABS and SRS (Airbag) systems like ABS Brake Bleeding, Pump Motor Test and checking Module Information and etc.
EPB Service: Deactivating and activating the brake control system, assisting with brake fluid control, opening and closing brake pads, and resetting brakes after disc or pad replacement and etc.
SAS Calibration: Clear steering angle sensor fault memory and reset the current steering wheel position as the straight-ahead position in the steering angle sensor EEPROM.
DPF Regeneration: Performs DPF Regeneration to clear the blockage through continuous burning of the particulate matter captured in the DPF filter and turn off DPF light.

(4). Unmatched Vehicle Coverage
Autel DS808K car diagnostic scanner can work with all OBD2-Compliant vehicles through the 16-PIN DLC connector and performs all 10 modes of OBD2 tests. This professional automotive diagnostic scanner supports an extensive list of vehicle makes and models. You
can use it on more than 80 US, EU and Asian-made cars that are OBD2 compatible. Those are primarily models manufactured from 1996 to date.

(5). Intuitive Interface
Navigating the DS808 is effortless. Its 7-inch touchscreen LCD screen has powerful light sensors that adjust brightness automatically. With a high resolution of 1024 x 600, this scanner displays items with utmost clarity. More importantly, it makes for a very intuitive
user interface. Accessing diagnosis functions is a piece of cake. You have two options for doing that. The first is using the Auto Scan option, which automatically triggers scanning of OBD systems. The second is the Control Units’ option. This one lists all the diagnostic
options available in a menu-like format for you to choose the one you want to use.

(6). Bi-Directional Control/ Active Test/ Functional Test
The Active Test function comes with DS808 professional scanner tool is used to access vehicle-specific subsystem and component tests. The tester outputs commands to the ECU to drive the actuators in order to determine the integrity of the system or parts by reading
the engine ECU data, or by monitoring the operation of the actuators such as switching a solenoid, relay, or switch between two operating states.

PROS
Several connectivity options including Wi-Fi and PC connections.
Lithium-polymer battery provides power for up to 5 hours when in continuous use.
Crispy clear display unit.
Very portable. Package includes a carry case.
Reasonably affordable for a professional scan tool.
CONS
Free updates are only available for the first year after purchase.

Conclusion: I think highly of Autel DS808, I highly recommend it to the repair shop, mechanics and DIYers. It is rugged, powerful, running fast, easy to use, light and add many special functions comparing Autel DS708 and many other Autel OBD2 Scanners.
