Keep in mind, your updates are only free the first year. Unfortunately, you won't know if your vehicle model isn't covered by any task until you plug it in.įor the average around home mechanic, it's a great tool at a great price.

Nowadays the MAC and Snap-On scanners are well north of $6000. Even with buying the MK808 and the TS401, the total didn't come close to the $1500 I paid for the Taskmaster brand new in 2010. I had to buy a MaxiTPMS TS401 to activate and test the TPMS sensors because the MK808, as mentioned, didn't cover my F350. Just the main diagnostics and a few there aren't covered, but it's also 22 years old. My 19 diesel isn't covered in all tasks either. Unfortunately, not for my 2010 Ford F350 gas engine. The one thing I found issues with was discovering not every vehicle model is included in all tasks. I found it also had current fixes for most trouble codes just as my Taskmaster which is extremely handy. I didn't try resetting the oil change light since it's not time for it yet. I even printed the report wirelessly from it to my inkjet printer. Doesn't come with the cables to read OBD1 and prior. Haven't tried my 2000 Nissan Frontier and I know it won't read my 1991 Ford Ranger.

It also, after I input the VIN, recognized my 19 diesel. It picked my 20 Ford F150 and F350 as advertised. Actually a pretty decent manual.Īs advertised, it does pickup the VIN number automaticly and it has a great many tasks covered under such as TPMS and another 10 to 12 major tasks. Comes with an OBDII cord probably 4 to 5 feet long. Has a very nice size and very useable interface. It's just as good and does all the same things my 2010 MACTools Taskmaster scanner and that scanner covers every model 2010 prior back to 1987 with all the connectors including giving common repair fixes for each trouble code. I must say the MK808 is a very good scanner.
