    It's universal scanner with excellent cover, all Asian modeles at 95% as dealer tool cover, gm USA is excellent , also other makes from Europe is can do many things, 3 updates every year for 500$, can do key programming for many cars and more.

    If you compare it to scanners above you will have more cover also for European with gscan or you can download data sheet and compare

    Hey Yeager, you have mentioned the big 3 in diagnostic tools when it comes to multibrand tools. I have a vast experience in these tools. I am a dealer for all the mentioned brands.... ("hold on I don't want to sell you anything just lend some advise being that I have a lot of experience with these tools.")

    The autoboss v30 will be discontinued and there will no longer be upgrades for this tool after 2 years from now. This will leave you with a tool that will not allow upgrades. The new version will only be able to upgrade from this point. I have also found the build of this tool to have warranty issues as its not the greatest quality.

    As for functions well the origin of this tool actually came from a software developer that worked for Launch in the early 2000's and at a time the tools where similar as it stands today I find Launch has some stronger points and thats due to its software development. I will get into detail on this when I cover Launch.

    Autel is not a bad tool but the price for the full package is a little steep and the software is good but needs some development when against the latest Launch software, all in all its a good tool to have if you can spend the money however as all multibrand tools having one complete solution just does not exists.... so its a matter of not tool is best but which will serve you best till you get another one.

    Launch is a very well developed product hands down its the best because of its vehicle coverage and functions and systems. Launch has 3000 software developers and supports over 1000 software upgrades a year and has been developed for longer than the latter and this is simply why it in my opinion ranks #1 I have sold many of these tools over 14 years and never had a complaint.

    The Pro is an android scanner for cars this is for the Euro and Africa market the X431 V is for the asian market. The Pro is no longer in production. The new toy is the Pro S there was an upgrade to the 16dbscar plug and its on a lenova tablet. The tool is looking slick and should come with a 3 year software upgrade package.

    The GDS is the old version for TRUCK and Diesel cars this unit was discontinued about a year ago. The latest version of this is the Pro3 S and HD module addon.

    If you can provide me with what functions and vehicles you wish to use I will be able to tell you some more in depth information on what tool to look at and who knows maybe one of the others will suit you best or another brand possibly.

    Hope the information so far is of help.

    Autoboss v30 locks at the end license update. Autel Maxisys Pro Launch no problems after the expiration of the license. Good luck.

    I just come here to ask a question. If you are not a mechanic then do you need this type expensive obd2 diagnostic scanner for your car? Is it worth to spend $500+ for an automotive scanner? I can easily get a scanner under $100. Isn’t?
    Update: I don't have enough budget. Thus, I have decided to buy autel autolink al519 OBD ll scan tool. Let see, how this scan tool works.

    There is another one that is the autel elite that does not make the difference in the bigger prossador and battery in the table. I do not know if there is more difference?

    @ Equip Tech

    You might be the one to ask about MaxiSys Pro.

    I sent e-mail to Autel, but not response yet. I'm trying to ENCODE a headlamp for 2015 Rolls Royce Ghost BUT there is no C. I. P menu. We know is the same as BMW.

    Last week I ran an update (V13.51) released 2019/12/31 that specifically applies to /mini / BMW / RR : Fixed the headlight module CODING error for model 730Li

    So, it is available coding, individualization and programming on Rolls Royce ?

    I do work 80% of the time with European cars like RR, Bentley, Lambo, Ferrari, Jaguar, Land Rover, McLaren, Mercedes, BMW, Tesla and few more... Are there, in base of your experience, something better for adaptations, coding and programming without going for every single one OEM ?
    I own ISTA+ , Star Diagnostic, and some other brands..
    (find me on F.B as: bronenberg motor werks)

    If I buy a used ms908 would I not be able to update it anymore since it was registered by someone else ?
