What are you trying to connect scope to , a MS 908 or a MS906? I think a USB to micro USB adapter is what might be needed , I think the MP408 might work off a MS908 but might not be supported on the regular MS906.You might be better off using the MP408 off a laptop PC. . I watched a you tube video where a guy was having issues with his one year or two year old ms908 shutting down trying to run the scope off it and then the guy started using the battery clip power adapter off the car to supply auxillary power to his MaxiSys instead of using the AC adapter power supply with extension cord and was having a ground isolation issue with the scope trying to check a voltage drop on the same vehicle, that the battery clip adapter was being used to charge MaxiSys battery. -

It's a ms906 scanner and the scope is the mp408. Sorry for the lack of info. correction on the usb, the ms906 has a mini usb, not micro. The manual states that the mp408 can be used in conjunction with the ms906 or 908, but I think now that it was misleading. I can see the ground loop being created using that car supply power. I kinda figured it would need an adapter, but i wasn't sure if Autel had their own. I ordered one from amazon & it should be here Monday. I will give a shot & post back the results. That's the main reason I bought the mp408 was because of the supposedly compatibility between the two (mp408 & ms906) Had I known that i would have bought the Hantec Scope. To use with the laptop. I just got both of them Thursday in the mail (mp-408 & ms906) -

I think support mentioned that the base MS906 cost point scanner that replaces the DS708)does not natively support Bentley and Maserati car makes nor does it support the Maxi scope or the Max video like MS906 BT (Blue tooth VCI) .version.Maybe you can download the app? -

downloaded the app, & connected the mp408 scope to the ms906 using the usb adapter, no luck. will not power the unit(no green light). So I hook the 408 to a powered usb hub then connected the ms906 to the hub as well, the unit will power up, but the ms906 will not detect the scope, that sucks because that was the main reason for buying the scope. You need to be well versed on the functionality of an oscilloscope in order to use the software, because it comes with no support, I will use this for my vehicles in conjunction with alldata.com which gives pictures of desired wave patterns for a given device, so I guess I'll just hold on to it & keep tinkering until I get use to it. So in a nut shell, the ms906 will not support the mp408 scope -

I would reccomend visiting the local computer or cell phone store to find the
appropriate cable. USB is USB and comes in many sizes most have similar functions
just s variety of shapes. I am more a computer geek than an ecu authority I can't see
you doing any harm if its the right adapter at each end it will work. Don't hammer it i.
