AutelAutoLink AL519 Car OBD2 Scanner, Classic Enhanced Mode 6 Engine Fault Code Reader OBDII CAN Diagnostic Scan Tool, One-Click Smog Check, DTC Look, Upgraded of AL319

Have to smog a vehicle (its been a while since I've done that) and my Bluetooth adapter finally died. I was looking for a complete all in one so I didn't have to link it up and mess with the adapter, this scanned both vehicles and quickly connected to live data and IM's readiness. The user interface is really slick, and easy to read on the color screen. I remember when this level of functionality was way pricier! Didn't even have to look at the manual or look up codes they had a little help menu with each meaning right on the screen at the touch of a button, O2 wasn't ready (IM's) and found a dead clutch pedal switch, easy part swap and easy to see that the O2 was responding appropriately via live data graphs. I was able to read up on how to set it and with a little driving from the manual it set everything and the switch replacement worked as well. Now the car is all ready to go in. The interface is super easy and it picked up a few other things reported that didn't show on a cheep-o scanner. I was able to get all readiness codes set and verified and all the other things fixed up with out wasting a trip. Its a little pricy for the feature set, but they seem to have done a good job with this one, so I'd say just for the easy of use / navigation, and stored lookups and help, this was a good grab and go tool. For a basic scanner it helped for my use case so if that's all you need this one made it way easier. Graphing data was a huge plus! Graphs are a little slow but perfectly good enough for a handheld tool (look its not a Textronics scope here). I was able to capture O2 stream data and changes reasonably quickly with a good sample rate, that I could verify it was in spec and wasn't having to guess. It graphs most PID's smoothly on the ODBII port. If you need some other feature sets you'll probably pay more, but this was worth it for just being easy to see, ready, and troubleshoot with out looking up anything in a tiny booklet or having to go in and google. Autel FTW!

I am not a mechanic by any means (actually I'm a critical care nurse) but I am very mechanically minded, so I am able to fix many of the problems that plague older vehicles as long as I have the tools available. I have been chasing a misfire situation on my 2006 F150 with the 5.4 V8. It has been very annoying and has truly affected the performance of the vehicle to tow heavy trailers or even to comfortably drive without the truck feeling like it's going to stumble and fall on its face. I took the truck to the shop and was told that they really couldn't do much without a check engine light. I was resounded to spending a large chunk of cash to change all 8 plugs (which only have 20k miles on them) and all 8 coil packs. Not an expenditure that I really wanted to take on. I did some research and learned about the Mode 6 data that would show the no code misfires and pulled the trigger on Autolink OBD scanner. I figured that the $60 price tag would either really pay for it self or would just be lumped in with all the other stupid tax that I've paid throughout life.After hooking the AL519 to the truck and taking a drive to allow the machine to track the performance of the motor, I was able to easily dial down to each individual cylinder to see where my problem resided to start the troubleshooting process with some diagnostic info in hand. After changing three coil packs my problems are fixed. The truck runs good again and no longer feels like it is struggling to get up an incline without having to hammer the gas. This little OBD scanner saved me from peeling off a lot of extra cash for the plugs, additional coil packs and probably some shop time to fix those #@&$% spark plugs that Ford uses that love to break off in this motor design.

I had never used an OBDII scanner before, but decided to get one when a co-worker pulled his out of his car and plugged it into my van to see what was wrong when I had some mis-firing going on. I purchased both this wired unit and a wireless unit, the ieGeek® WIFI Wireless OBD2 Auto Scanner Adapter Scan Tool for iPhone iPad iPod. Both work well, but the wireless version has the added benefit of being able to monitor engine functions LIVE, so if something intermittent is going on, you have a better chance to spot it if it is not leaving the MIL codes. The Autel AL519 will display live sensor data as well, but there is a cable in the way and I already have a nice dashboard mount for my iPhone. To make the ieGeek WiFi Wireless work, I purchased a $5.95 app at the iTunes App Store, so the real price of the wireless model is about $35.Since I am new to this OBDII scanner stuff, the Autel AL519 might have important features I have not tried yet that make it a better overall choice, but for the amateur like me, I think the wireless devices make more sense. I also purchased a BlueDriver ODBII wireless scanner, but it was more expensive and even though it came with a free iPhone and Android app, doesn't seem any better than the ieGeek version. The BlueDriver is more compact and easier to leave plugged in all the time, but for the price difference you really need those features to make it worthwhile.I plan to leave one device in each of our families 3 cars, so they are readily available when needed.

It works well. The first vehicle I used it for is a 2006 Ford.

Scanner generico quindi alcuni codici specifici delle case costruttrici auto non li supporta per il resto funziona molto bene

Worked as expected. Had the functions expected and had no problem connect to car.

Nice
