    sorry but its not autels fault for that, those manurfactures have designed these modules so that once the vin is programmed into the modules thats it there is no changing it no matter what scanner you buy even the factory one

    Hi mikethesitch1 thank you for your response, but I change vin numbers on this cars computer everyday for instance on gm with the tis software and the tech2 you can change the vin numbers on the ecm you have to program the computer to be able to do this same goes for ford with the vcm and ids software you can change the vin number on the pcm everytime you program the computer weather is used or new you have the ability to change vin numbers, the only one I have been able to change with the maxidas is chrysler and it does it very well i know on gm and ford the computers needs to be reflash to be able to change vin numbers but It will be nice if maxidas can come up with something like this with the 708 or the 808 just dreaming anyway have a good day and thank you for your time good day.

    I think it would be nice if the vin carried over to the reports and if on the euro cars it would do auto detect , well that would b great for all car makes. Also if there were more detail in the car descriptions when choosing to help identify what you are working on. I have many ideas for this product and I do believe it does more than the competitors. A battery would b great too. I am using rechargeable battery's and a cable from radio shack to keep from restarting if i pull the plug out during testing. any way thats all for now. How does everyone else like the tool?

       It is over 2 years later in 2015, and the Maxi Sys Pro is now the Flagship scanner, Does the DS 708  still offer the VIN edit feature , and for what makes and modules is it able to edit the VIN of a used module ?
       Has engineering compiled detailed lists of specific special functions and coding capabilities by makes and models cars that can  generally be found to be  supported for each  platform  by update level other than coding capabilities only listed as  minimal or advanced?

     Yes,  AES Wave lists a handy  Autel"s  Update Coverage chart in  detail of what the MAXI SYS should be able to support in special functions of each make and model. It gives alpha numeric  codes  that you can refer to what they are in charts in the later pages of the corresponding coverage PDF ! Just click the button of the manufacturer. Might come in handy to see what Maxi Sys can do or not beforehand.
