I am an auto mechanic hobbyist. I work on my own cars and the cars of fam members. Please recommend an Autel diagnostic tool. Following is a list of my requirements for the tool:1 – support for car in the USA. No exotic car requirements
2 – priced under $700 US dollars
3 – annual Autel support subscription fee less than 300 US dollars
4 – The tool must support monitoring live data of auto transmission temperature
I appreciate any feeback that you can provide. Maybe Autel is not the product for an auto mechanic hobbyist looking for a quality tool. If a different manufacturer is a better fit for me, your recommendation is much appreciated. Thanks

Maxidiag does all you need at home or step up to ms906 and you have more fuctions and monitors with more individual testing and tpms support -

Thank you for the recommendation. At first glance, I believe the MaxiDiag MD808P may be a good fit for me. I will look at it closer. If anyone else has a tool recommendation or feedback about the MD808P, please let me know.Thanks again. -

Autel provides free lifetime updates for the Maxidiag MD808 Pro. That is very valuable, so I purchased a Maxidiag MD808 Pro, registered the tool, and applied all the latest updates. To my surprise, the tool only covers vehicles up 2017. I contacted Autel support and they confirmed that it does not cover cars after 2017. Free updates? What updates? I am now returning the tool to the retailer. -

Hello everybody,I am considering purchase of the MX808 but would like a tool with more functionality. VincentMichel suggested the MS906. My question, is the MS906 the next step up from the MX808 or is it several steps up from the MX808? At this time I would like to consider the tool that would be the next step up from the MX808.Thanks -

Mx is not bi directional and does not support system testing but does provide monitors and live data graphs -
