MX808S vs MS906 Pro — which one is right for you? The Autel MX808S and the Autel MS906 Pro are both excellent tools. But they serve different kinds of shops, different repair volumes, and very different profit margins. Choosing the right diagnostic scanner can directly impact your workshop efficiency, repair capability, and long-term profitability.
| Model | Best For | Ideal User |
| MX808S | Daily maintenance & basic diagnostics | Small repair shops, DIY users, quick service centers |
| MS906 Pro | Advanced diagnostics & ECU coding | Professional workshops |
The first thing most customers notice is the price difference.
The MX808S is the best value entry professional scanner at an affordable price.
The MS906 Pro costs considerably more.
Naturally, customers ask:
“What exactly am I getting for the extra money?”
The answer depends on what kind of repair work your business performs.
You just finished an oil change. The customer is waiting. You turn the key, and there it is — that annoying yellow wrench or "Maintenance Required" light still glowing on the dashboard. On older cars, you could usually clear it with a pedal sequence or a few button presses. But on modern vehicles? Those manual tricks rarely work anymore. The car's computer needs to be told, directly, that fresh oil has been installed.
Without the right tool, you have two bad options: send the customer away with the light still on (which looks unprofessional), or waste 10-15 minutes trying manual resets that probably won't work. Either way, you lose time, money, and customer trust.
The Autel MaxiCheck MX808S includes a dedicated Oil Reset function that communicates directly with the vehicle's engine control module or service indicator system. Here's what that means for your shop:
One-tap access – From the main menu, you simply tap "Service" then "Oil Reset." The scanner does the rest.
Auto VIN detection – No need to manually enter year, make, and model. The scanner reads the vehicle's VIN automatically and pulls up the correct reset procedure.
Guided workflow – On-screen instructions walk you through every step.
A customer walks in with a BMW, Audi, or Volkswagen. They ask you a simple question: "Can you make my mirrors fold automatically when I lock the car?" Or maybe: "Can you turn off that annoying seatbelt chime?"
These features are already built into the vehicle. The hardware is there — the folding mirrors, the convenience functions. But the manufacturer has disabled them, usually to create "trim level" differences between base and premium models.
A basic scanner can read and clear codes. But it cannot touch these hidden features. You either say "sorry, can't do that" and lose the up-sell opportunity, or you turn the customer away to find someone with the right tool.
The Autel MaxiSys MS906 Pro includes full ECU coding and adaptation capabilities. This is not just reading codes — this is rewriting the vehicle's configuration to enable or disable features at the module level.
Here is how the MS906 Pro unlocks auto fold mirrors and other hidden functions:
Step 1 – Go to Coding
For mirror folding, you would access the Door Module or Body Control Module (BCM).
Step 2 – Enter coding mode
The MS906 Pro You select "Coding" from the menu and choose the target module.
Step 3 – Modify the configuration
Within the coding interface, you locate the parameter that controls mirror folding. This might be labeled "Comfort Folding," "Mirror Fold on Lock," or similar. Using the MS906 Pro, you change the value from "Not Active" to "Active."
Step 4 – Write and verify
The MS906 Pro writes the new configuration to the module. You lock the car with the remote — and the mirrors fold in automatically. The feature is now permanently enabled.

.The key difference is not simply “better” or “worse.”
It’s about matching the scanner to your business model.
If your goal is affordable full-system diagnostics for daily repair work, the MX808S delivers incredible value.
If your workshop wants to expand into advanced diagnostics, ECU coding, and newer vehicle platforms, the MS906 Pro is a smart long-term investment that can increase both repair capability and workshop profitability.
