Autel Maxidas DS808 Small Repair Shop Best Choice

I have the first generation Autel Maxidas DS708 for many years, I love it because of its reasonable price and cost efficient function, but what a pity that it will not be updated any more.
Then you consider to have one Autel Maxidas DS808K full kit which adds extra special functions i.e injector coding, key coding, adaptation, ECU information, trouble codes, freeze frame, live data, active test and special functions. I have one small repair shop and have many different car brands fix, DS808 can fully meet my requirements.
It has many different vehicles’ diagnostic adapters which are not standard 16pin(see following pic). Maxidas DS808 is compatible to many US, European, Asian vehicles, user friendly and has software for different vehicle models and systems.


Its new CPU and LCD touch screen (7″ LCD 1024×600 resolution touch scrren), dramatically improved the entire users’experience, much more smooth comparing with DS708. Personally, I would recommend DS808 for those small shops with limit budgets. Of course, if money is not a problem, Maxisys Elite may be your good choice.It is smaller than ms906, so very handy.
