Autel Maxisys Ultra VS Autel IM608 VS Autel IM508

Put together the users’ feedback on the Autel comparison: Autel Ultra VS Autel IM608 VS Autel IM508.

Autel Maxisys Ultra Feedback / Test reports:

1. Autel Ultra- apparently does diagnostics the same as IM608. Only addon I see is battery analysis, inspection camera. Comes with scope included. The j2534 supports mega-can so the new Mopars it works. Tested.

2. I also have Autel Ultra. I traded my snap on verus in on it. Aside from what you mentioned before, there’s ADAS, Shop platform for running your business, the nice scope, and loads of other capabilities too come with the expansions and updates. However the 608 is my workhorse. In the aftermarket repair world I don’t get very many new vehicles. Mostly 2015 and back. Usually one of these two scan tools covers the job.

3. I have the Maxisys Ultra, and don’t only use it for diagnostic etc. but also for installing sound systems in vehicles, it’s the best tool ever.

4. Coming from the MS906. Autel Ultra was a huge upgrade and definitely worth it for my busy auto repair shop. So far, the scope has been pretty awesome and it’s abilities are more than enough for us. There is a little lost in translation issues we encounter and a lot of ‘chinglish’ but once you get over that, it’s a powerful tool.

5. Autel Ultra lab scope is a fantastic tool for diagnostics. The extra large touchscreen is a joy to use and is easy to read outside in daylight. Battery life has been longer than expected at around 8 hours and charge time is fairly quick. If you need a 4 channel lab scope in your shop then look no further. The Autel Ultra does everything my Snap-On Verus does but it does it faster and with a larger screen. Accessories such as test leads, alligator clips and back probes are all neatly stowed in the rugged case.

Autel IM608 Failure list:

1. The j2534 lacks mega-can to work on newer Mopars.
2. Cars I had no luck with are 15+ MB push to start, VAG hit or miss

In fact: ONLY the dealer can do 2015+ MB, that’s fsb4, no one but the dealership apart from Sprinter which is still FSB3 until 2018.

3. Bentley failed.
4. Subaru smart key 2019+ all keys lost it won’t do!
5. Not supported Porsche boxter.
6. Air suspension on mb fails in auto mode.

Good to know:

Car on the 608 I think it’s for the best. All in one. You have to realize that even your best won’t do everything.

Good tool if you no how to use it rite, Good tool don’t make you Good locksmith. Autel IM608 / IM508 also depends on the competency of the user, all the machine can do is do what your guiding it to do.

Buy the IM608 Pro with the complete set with everything… APB112, XP400, J2534 , the complete set of adapters , the GBox2 & also a Toyota 8a cable with the dolphin key cutter….

Autel IM508 Feedback / Test Reports:

1. I have the IM608. I traded in my IM508 to get it. The Diagnostics are way better in the IM608. The IM508 wouldn’t do calibration, relearn, or programming. Only scan and data. So the IM608 is my primary tool.

2. I was using IM508 for more than 1 year and now use IM608, particularly in keys subject does the same, only it takes a little more to calculate password in MB because its processor is slower, but keys does the same as IM608, VW is wonderful, I do everything in VW but you have to explore a lot, I definitely recommend it but if you have for a IM608 spend it on it, in BMW it’s great with due care.
