Which one should you choose?
- MD906 PRO - small, cheap and lifetime-free updates. Good for seeing every main module and doing the most common resets.
- MX900 - a tablet for service work (resets, brake service, steering angle, battery registration) without coding.
- MK900 - the sensible workshop choice at a fixed ramp: CAN FD and DoIP for newer cars, 40+ functions, extensive active tests.
- MK900BT - the same platform with a wireless connector, for mobile work and road tests.
- MK808BT PRO - a wireless 7" tablet for small garages and serious enthusiasts; an older generation than the MK900.
Good to know
- Autel's security-gateway (SGW) licence is a separate yearly purchase and is listed for the 900 series, not for the MD906 PRO or MK808BT PRO. We do not sell the licence; if you work on recent Chrysler/Jeep/Fiat, VW/Audi, Mercedes, Renault or Nissan models, ask us before you buy.
- After the free update period the tool keeps working on the installed software.
Not sure? Tell us the car and what you want to do and we will tell you honestly which one fits - including when the cheaper one is enough.
