Just got a new scanner in the subject from Amazon on a lightning deal for $419 with free shipping had a regular price of $565. Still have to set it up but it looks sweet. Bi-directional, 7" touchscreen (actually a tablet), blue tooth, wifi, and will read and perform on engine, trans, brakes, SRS,steering angle sensor, battery managment system, DPF, Electric parking brake, oil reset and more. Tons of features and abilities. Can't wait to set it up and use it.

OK I'm jealous.
Please keep us informed what it is good at, what add-ons cost, and any limitations.

I think it will read anything the manufacturer has allowed it to. Plugged it into the Yukon and was surprised at how much information was available. Plugging into an 98 Suburban tomorrow with misfire issues, I'll keep you posted.
I've been searching for that deal, or similar pricing since you first posted. If I can grab it at that price I'd be all over it.
Can you program a key FOB with it?
The AutoEnguity scanner is also a high end DIY, maybe small shop. They have PC and phone version. They have a base model and then extensions per manufacturer. Not too bad for one or two manufacturers, but if you need all manufacturers then it's over $1000.
So if the Autel includes all manufacturers specific code like the AutoEnguity then it's a good deal.
But the people from AutoEnguity told me it's time consuming to write programming code for each specific code.

Does not look like I can perform key FOB programming with it.

Best price I found other than the Amazon Prime Day lightning deal was $519.

You killed it! I saw the $519 deal. At $419 I'm all in, at $519 I'll use what I have, and wait patiently, or live w/o it.

Be careful of the Autel units on amazon. They may not be US market versions and you will not receive updates and warranty.
I purchase my Autel items from JBtools and AESwave to avoid the possibility of issues.

Bought from WEYLAND through Amazon. Weyland claims to be the "official legal Autel distributor" and has 100% positive reviews with over 300 reviewers, and states all factory warranties are in effect. I have no reason to doubt them.

That is a common deceptive practice by the unauthorized sellers. This is a huge issue with a autel right now. Here is a list of the authorized sellers:

JBtools gets their units from ISN or Medco, and AESwave is on the list.

Good to know, thanks.

It's updating right now, no problem registering it either, password stored in unit worked on the Autel.com website.
For those interested, the MK808 is on sale right now (says limited time) on Amazon for $424. I didn't dig real deep but it looks like the only difference between that and mine (MK808BT) is the tablet is connected to the vehicle via a cable, where as mine is a blue tooth connection so I can walk around the vehicle with my MK808BT in my hands after I plug in the Bluetooth module into the vehicles diagnostic port.

I bought Autel MK808BT under the recommendation of youtube. I found that Autel's technical support is better than foxwell and launch. I bought this product at that time for $459. There is a promotion code under the youtube video link: BAO3KBB8, an extra 10% discount, plus Amazon's coupon45, the final price is $459.

This one says communicates with all available modules, does that mean it can connect to the hvac control in my Audi A4 and show me flap postion? or BCM in a chevy? This one if it does that fits the bill, the website does not really give any specific info as I've been really looking into the DS808.
FCP euro has the mx808 for $399 and I'm really not looking for the cheapest one, I want to buy one the first time and not be upset when I find out it won't do something I want it to.

You want VCDS (VAG COM) if you do VW/Audi. There is another super cheap and primative looking tool option that works great but you need to know the pids to work with it.
