The Auto Scan function performs comprehensive scanning for all vehicle’s ECUs systems. The Control Units function allows to locate a required control system for testing through ECU Information/Trouble Codes/Freeze Frame/Live Data/Active Test.

2-Year Free Updates (Promotion)
Globally Autel only provides 1 year of free updates in other countries…
- The core function of a diagnostic machine is to test specific makes & models to help reveal problems
- When you buy a diagnostic machine, one of the most important things to know is the coverage and functionality required
This will have a direct effect on the update cost (as this is directly related to the ongoing development of new coverage and improved functions)
- That is why it is important to buy from a specialist diagnostic brand that will guarantee this (Autel has over 500 engineers globally continuously working on software).
- It is also important to remember that updates are not just improvements for new models, but also updates based on improvements from data logs (the method customers give feedback when they have issues).
For example: After 2 years, you could still use the machine for an additional 1 or 2-year period and then consider updating (or never update again – depends on your need for the latest models and functions)
There will be no penalty or catchup fees like other diagnostic brands
- As an example -> Even after 5 years with no updates, you get caught up to all the latest software when you pay for your update.
