The Autel CAN FD adapter is an essential interface specifically developed to connect older Autel diagnostic equipment with modern vehicles using the advanced CAN FD communication protocol. This adapter plugs directly between the vehicle's OBD2 diagnostic port and the tablet's Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI), enabling communication that would not be possible without this adapter on certain new car models.

Using this adapter is essential for reading various vehicles, especially from General Motors, produced from model year 2020, as they use the CAN FD protocol (Flexible Data-Rate) for faster data transfer. The adapter converts the signals so that existing diagnostic hardware can correctly handle the increased bandwidth and variable data rates, which is crucial for error-free diagnostics, coding, and programming on the latest electronic architectures.

ADVANTAGES

✔ Makes older hardware compatible with the CAN FD protocol.
✔ Necessary for diagnostics on GM vehicles from 2020 onwards.
✔ Easy installation via the existing 16-pin OBD2 connector.
✔ Original Autel accessory for guaranteed operation.

IMPORTANT NOTES

✕ Only compatible with Autel diagnostic equipment.
✕ Not required for the latest generation tablets with built-in CAN FD support (e.g., Ultra/MS919).

Applications and functionalities

The Autel CAN FD Adapter is developed to bridge the technological gap between existing diagnostic interfaces and the latest communication standards in the automotive industry.

  • Protocol conversion: Converts standard CAN signals to the faster CAN FD (Flexible Data-Rate) format.
  • Bandwidth increase: Supports the higher data transmission speeds required for modern ECUs.
  • Vehicle communication: Enables access to all control units in vehicles with CAN FD architecture.
  • Interface extension: Acts as an intermediary between the VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) and the car.

Compatible devices

This adapter is designed to work with various Autel tablets and interfaces that do not hardware-wise support CAN FD.

Autel:

  • MaxiSys Elite
  • MaxiSys MS908 / MS908S / MS908P
  • MaxiSys MS906 / MS906BT / MS906TS
  • MaxiDAS DS808
  • MaxiCheck MX808
💡
Good to know: The CAN FD protocol is mainly used in new models from General Motors (Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, GMC) produced from 2020 onwards. Without this adapter, communication with these specific vehicles is often not possible with older VCIs.
