Hi everyone!!! I`m brazilian and next year I will move to US. Actually I work with electronic, fuel injetion, can bus, on board systems, etc.... Here in Brazil the management systems are too different, 4 cylinders engine, Bosch or Magnetti Marelli, flex fuel, sonda correction, and when I need read imported car fault codes, I use a friend Icom BMW or Star MB, for example, my generic scanner only read brazilian models, maybe any Honda, Ford or Nissan made in Mexico for domestic market. For example, I have a Accord 2.0 SOHC, model who does not exist in USA, because this 2.0 is only for AL and Asian, in USA this accord is 2.4 DOHC. I know the correct to do is buy this diagnostics scanner for each make, but is very expensive. I need a indication for a OBD2 scanner, generic, but a medium/good device. Thanks a lot. Sorry for my bad english!!!!! Everton Farias

I've been using an Autel MS908P. It's pretty awesome for the price. It does some programming too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Our shop has the older Maxidas DS708 by Autel and it has good coverage and bidirectional control. I'd like to play with a MS908P. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

We recently moved up. Entirely different machine. It's actually a working tablet. You can browse the web or do e-mail and chats. It has a lot of programming capability too.
