I don't know about everyone else but I am getting tired of Autel removing or changing software capacities after we purchased from them with the understanding that our units would not have capacities removed.I own a ds708 and maxysis and love them but seems like we are begining to lose certain capacities as Autel releases updates.We spend lots for these products and I do not think its right.Maybe its just me but the Ford software should have never been altered.Next will Ford sue Autologic??it has factory software also and same capacity.Tags: Autel , removing , capacities....

I am finding myself having to resort to laptop based units again.I didn't want to have to do this often. I just wish that when they decide to downgrade capacities they will inform us so we can decide if the update is helpful or not.As you said ede65 I may just stop updating and sell mine. -

I think it's horse shit that we all this money on a tool and with every update they say they've added 435 functions to Chrysler and 321 functions to bmw. How about fix all the glitches in the current software. I emailed support about Honda evap test almost a year ago saying that the fuel tank pressure sensor reads 0% throught the test, therefore deeming the test as a failure. I had a Honda today, a year later, and it still has the same problem. I don't care about you adding rolls Royce or Tata, fix the tool so it will function like it should. It's just so God damn irritating that I spend all this time emailing vins and problem decriptions, and do data logging that still says error uploading most of the time, and nothing is done about it. -

I agree racer11.I just wish they would be more thorough in testing te software before
reease and not remove functions against our will after we buy the product. l am scared
to update at this point. The scanner isg great when it does what it does,but I am
finding unpredictability in newer releases in software.Also if I buy the American version
why include weird makes like Tata,and Abarth??I hope they fix these kinks soon. -

Apparently Autel has also removed some immobilizer features from honda. Did a 2001 Honda Accord, installed a new OEM lock cylinder that came with 3 new keys, Maxisys had the ability to do an "all keys lost" programming before (which was under immobilizer "replace ECU" I believe) , I know it was there, I had it done many times before updating. Now it can only add keys if you have an already register key in the system, which is almost useless if you change the lock cylinder with a different one, can't turn lock with old key. I had to use a different tool to finish the job. Can't trust the updates any more, don't wan't to lose useful features. -
