How to Connect the MS906

Compatibility
First things first, the Autel MS906 covers over 80 vehicle brands. The list includes all mainstream makes like Chrysler (US only), Benz, BMW, Audi, Ford, Chevrolet etc.
Although it’s primarily an OBD2 scanner, the MS906 does support OBD1 diagnosis. That is why the package comes with full OBD1 adapters. Basically, it supports full OBD1 and OBD2 protocols. What that means is that you can use this scan tool on virtually any vehicle manufactured between 1982 and now.
Still, on compatibility, the Autel MaxiSYS MS906 works with Windows computers. You can connect it to a PC via USB, download and analyze diagnostic reports. It’s this kind of convenience that makes the scanner a favorite for many professionals and DIYers.
Connecting the scanner
Well, now you know the hardware and software parts of the Autel Scanner Autel MaxiSYS MS906 and you also know the range of vehicles that it covers. But how do you go about using it?
Of course, the first thing is connecting the device to your vehicle’s OBD port using an adapter cable. Contrary to beginner scan tools, the Autel MaxiSYS MS906 will not start automatically after the connection.
You have to power it up by pressing the power button. The display will come on and after a few seconds, you’ll be able to see the home screen.
Display and Interface
Navigating the Autel MaxiSYS MS906 on OBD2TOOL is pretty simple thanks to the 8-inch LED touch screen and an intuitive interface. With a resolution of 1024 x 768P, the display boasts of crisp clarity. It’s definitely one of the clearest available in the market today.
More importantly, the scanner features a one-touch navigation menu that leads to all the supported functions. Once you choose a function, it will literally walk you through the whole process.
For example, if you want to diagnose the engine light simply select the “EOBD” option. It will take you through the steps of reading engine codes of the vehicle you’re diagnosing.
Additionally, there’s a MaxiFix tab whose function is to give repair recommendations. With this device, there’s practically nothing you can’t do. But you may want to go over the user manual just to get a hang of all the functions. Its 104 pages long but totally worth a read.

My Using experience with Autel Maxisys MS906

I wanted to write this review to hopefully help some others out there. One thing that I really wanted the ability to do is program keys. I could not find any good hard information that this was supposed to program keys. Because of this, I was leaning towards the older DS-708. I decided to give obd2tool a call and gather some information.
They told me that the Autel Scanner MS-906 was the replacement for the DS-708, but the DS-708 was end of life. They said if you buy a used one, and something happens to the card, then it will essentially be a brick if you don’t have a backup. They also told me that the MS-906 would not program keys and that I had to get the pro version that was quite a bit more expensive. This did not make sense to me because if the MS-906 replaced the DS-708, it should do everything that the DS-708 does.
I ended up messaging the seller on Amazon, and he told me that it would not as well. I figured I would order it and I could always return it. Turns out, the MS-906 DOES program keys! I’m very impressed with the scanner. Comparing it to an older Snap-On Solus, it blows it out of the water! The graphing is nice, has a TON of features!
If you’re looking to buy a reliable, intuitive and well-built scan tool then the Autel MaxiSYS MS906 should perhaps be on top of your shopping list.
Autel MaxiSYS MS906 is a more improved version of the highly acclaimed MaxiDAS DS808 and DS708.Compared to its predecessor, the MS906 has a broader range of features. They include diagnosis, service and repair functions, key coding, Wi-Fi connectivity, touch screen, sleek tablet-like design and so much more.
