Autel MaxiCom MK908 Pro II Car Diagnostic Tool

The Autel MaxiCOM MK908 Pro II is an advanced, 10.1-inch Android tablet diagnostic platform, designed for workshops that require professional performance, wireless flexibility and top-class vehicle coverage. The device is equipped with a fast Qualcomm 660 octa-core processor, 4 GB RAM, and 128 GB storage, and runs on Android 10. Communication with the vehicle is via Bluetooth paired with the included MaxiFlash VCI/J2534 Pass-Thru interface, making the tool suitable for both diagnosis and ECU programming.

The MK908 Pro II supports OE-level system diagnosis, including reading and clearing fault codes in all modules, bi-directional (active) tests, live data analysis and adaptations and coding, for vehicles (US, Asia, Europe) from 1996 onwards. Thanks to AutoVIN recognition, pre- and post-scan reporting and advanced features such as component matching, power balance tests, and online ECU programming, this device is ideal for workshops that demand both speed and depth.

Diagnostic functions:

The Autel MaxiCOM MK908 Pro II offers full OE-level system diagnosis for more than 80 vehicle brands from Europe, Asia, and North America. The system reads and analyzes fault codes in all electronic modules and is suitable for both standard and advanced diagnostic processes.
