Hello everyone, I want to buy a cheap but very good/ reliable vehicle scanner for private use and would welcome suggestions from those who currently use or have experience working with any of the not so expensive but reliable vehicle scanners available in the market. Thank you. |

i use this and it works really well, i scan my car, get the error code, find out more about the error through https://www.google.com.ng/ , then tell the mech what to check or fix https://www./maxiscan-509-obdii-diagnostic-car-scanner-autel-mpg2001.html saves me money |

Can anyone tell me which is preferable between Maxiscan MS509 and Maxiscan MS609? |

I bought this little OBDII Bluetooth device which I use with the Torque Pro App (paid version) on my phone and its works for me. I've used it to scan for faults, clear faults and also see the parameters of cars I've used it with in real time. You can try it out.

sammily: I got one of these ELM Bluetooth scanners through konga. Not this exact one you posted though but it refused connecting with my phone so I returned it. View the screenshot from it. That's why I'm trying to get a normal handheld type. The ELM Bluetooth types are cheaper. I wish it had worked.

mexxy1: You can try it with Torque pro, maybe it will connect. Also make sure you use the right pairing key, its either 1234 or 0000 to pair it with your phone. |
Re: Recommend a Vehicle Scanner For Personal Use by mexxy1(m): 3:11pm On Jan 09, 2016 |
sammily: I did pair it back then but it just wouldn't connect so I had no option than to return it for a refund. |

dammiedot: I finally got the Autel Maxiscan MS509 from Konga and it was delivered on Monday. @dammiedot, does your own unit work with battery? Mine didn't come with the 9v battery and I bought the battery but, it doesn't work with the battery. Only works when connected to the vehicle or my laptop. Please tell me your experience as I want to return the unit by Monday before the 7day return window elapses. I've spoken with the seller and he said he tested the unit with him and it doesn't work with battery and I can return before the 7days elapse. |
Re: Recommend a Vehicle Scanner For Personal Use by mexxy1(m): 10:50pm On Jan 28, 2016 |
dhemmyhardy: Does your own work with the battery if the unit is unplugged from the vehicle? I couldn't find your store on Konga. |
Re: Recommend a Vehicle Scanner For Personal Use by pek(m): 12:20am On Jan 29, 2016 |
Have MS 609 which is far better than 509. Willing to sell to you. |
Re: Recommend a Vehicle Scanner For Personal Use by mexxy1(m): 8:41am On Jan 29, 2016 |
I just got the Autel Maxiscan MS509 but it doesn't work on battery. That is, when I unplug it from the vehicle or laptop, it goes off. Is this how it works? cc: Siena Egunmogaji Ikenna357 Piyke Cardoctor Gazzuzz Kingreign Thanks |
Re: Recommend a Vehicle Scanner For Personal Use by GAZZUZZ(m): 8:44am On Jan 29, 2016 |
mexxy1: read the manual(you can download it) try a different car. |
Re: Recommend a Vehicle Scanner For Personal Use by mexxy1(m): 9:04am On Jan 29, 2016 |
GAZZUZZ: I just checked now. It's supposed to work with the battery when unplugged from the vehicle. And I already upgraded the software version. I'll return it for a replacement that works with battery. |
Re: Recommend a Vehicle Scanner For Personal Use by mayor2013: 9:25pm On Jan 29, 2016 |
mexxy1: Autel ms509 works with the battery. The device has got an inbuilt memory that is capable of storing information e, g when you scan a car and you forgot the fault error and you need to get hold of the scan result. You can always plug in the battery and retrieve info from the scan tool |
Re: Recommend a Vehicle Scanner For Personal Use by mexxy1(m): 10:44pm On Jan 29, 2016 |
mayor2013: The unit I got is not working with the battery and I plan returning it for a replacement or refund. |
Re: Recommend a Vehicle Scanner For Personal Use by mayor2013: 11:45pm On Jan 29, 2016 |
