Autel Scanner MaxiCOM MK900BT: MK900-BT 8in V2.0 Bidirectional Scan Tool

I recently picked up the MK900BT, and it’s been fantastic from the start. After updating the software, I was able to diagnose and repair multiple issues across my vehicles—things my old code reader simply couldn’t handle. The bi-directional control and ability to access vehicle modules have completely changed how I approach repairs. Instead of guessing based on fault codes, I can now run real tests and make confident, accurate diagnoses. The Bluetooth dongle is a huge plus—it lets me move freely with the tablet and test components on the spot, without needing a second person. Battery life has been excellent, the screen is bright and easy to read, and the hard case is thoughtfully designed with space for extra accessories. This tool has truly elevated my ability to maintain my family’s vehicles. It’s DIY-friendly but packed with professional-level features. The kit includes a pre-installed screen protector, charger, and case, making it ready to go right out of the box. For the price, the MK900BT offers incredible value and capability. I highly recommend it to anyone serious about taking their vehicle diagnostics to the next level.

You’re reading this review hoping it’s an honest review and worth purchasing… The short answer is - Yes, it is well worth it. If you’ve ever dealt with basic code readers and scan tools, you know how frustrating it is to only get basic diagnostics data and limited Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) error reset capability. Professional level diagnostic scanners are outrageously expensive for a DIY mechanic. For years I had relied on a basic scanner with very limited bi-directional capabilities. Basic diagnostic tools at least give you an idea what the problem is but not much more than that. The next step was to take my vehicles to a professional mechanic with an Advanced Diagnostic Tool. I relied upon them to get more specific information. Even my mechanic complained about not only how expensive the tool was, but they also had to subscribe to a very expensive annual service that allowed the daily use on multiple vehicles, but also to keep the tool current. I asked my mechanic if he could recommend an affordable quality scan tool, and he highly recommended AUTEL tools. I did the research and determined it was worth buying a tool with professional level capabilities, that would pay for itself, by not having to pay for a mechanic to diagnose my vehicles at shop rates usually exceeding $125/hour in my area for my diesel vehicles. I chose the MK900-BT because it had all the features you would expect from a professional scan tool including data logging, bi-directional test and interactive tests for every module and system sensor and best of all the ability to perform Diesel Exhaust Regenerations for us diesel owners! The cordless Blue Tooth Dongle allows you 33 feet of freedom to move around the vehicle and see what’s going on. The system has Wi-Fi, and can be used to wirelessly update and print if desired. There is an incredible variety of foreign and domestic vehicles built into the unit. I have used the MK900-BT not only on my vehicles but also my friends and families as well. It comes with a very high-quality hard plastic case with plenty of storage for, for the nice charger and cable, the Bluetooth Dongle and any documents. The purchase comes with a free 1-year subscription for updates.

Professional level tool on a good budget. Allows you to go into all the modules and view live data, run tests and diagnostics, service functions etc. Rugged quality and great support as well. Also for you diesel guys it can run different emissions functions and regens.

This is an excellent scan tool for my 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450. With Mercedes-Benz updating its ECU systems to use the DoIP Gateway, this scanner is well suited for the job. It allows me to read diagnostic trouble codes and clear them when needed. I also recommend purchasing AutoAuth, as it provides access to additional vehicle systems and advanced diagnostic capabilities. Overall, this has been a very useful tool for working with the electronics and diagnostics on my GLE 450.

Good product at a reasonable price. User friendly. Great support.

Product support is horrible. I purchased this product just over a month ago several days after the date to return the product came and went the password Autel assigned me for the device is no longer working and they claim they have no record of my purchase, or registration. So I apparently have an almost $600 plus paper weight.

This product is amazing, easy to use and I was able to complete what I needed to be done with out any issues. Definitely recommend

Works well enough, capable of bidirectional control of most systems. Comes with 1yr subscription, $179 annual after that, and you will need it to remain functional. Be advised, the internal memory is only 64gb. It has slot for sd card, but transfer data to sd function seems nonexistent or convoluted. Maybe I’m just old. Anyway, don’t hit “update all” when setting up, or you will be too full to download the next os update. This is frustrating to me, but can work around it. So consider the internal memory for your needs. And only download apps for manufacturers you regularly scan.
