Big shout out to the Autel Support Team which fixed our bricked VCI within 24h but...
To everyone who gets a new MaxiSys Elite
DON'T USE THE SOFTWARE WHICH COMES WITH THE SCANNER
Make Sure the MaxiSys PC Suite also contains a setup for the MaxiFlash Elite, not for the MaxiSys PRO
If you use (like I did because nowhere was stated not to use it) the MaxiFlashCfg tool which comes with the scanner, you will brick your MaxiFlash Elite !!!!
The actual Version for the MaxiFlash Elite is V2.14 NOT V3.24
