I’ve been borrowing an Autel Maxisys MS906BT and I like the power of it but I don’t need or have a reason to splurge on something similar for my needs. I’ve been looking at an Autel AP200 dongle. According to them, it provides similar functionality as their pro-level scanners and provides enhanced diagnostics for one car line out of the box, additional car lines are $20/year. It works with iOS and Android, given that many of Autel’s scanners run Android 4 Kit-Kat or 5 Ice Cream Sandwich on older Samsung/Mediatek SOCs, I might buy an Galaxy Tab for it.
Most of the things I care for are Toyota/Lexus so I’m covered there. Primarily, I want something that can carry out the brake bleed routine on a Prius and maybe EPB service on a Subaru.
I have a Carista OBD-II ELM327 dongle that’s good for basic code reading. I’ll keep in the car always for a CEL.
What’s the opinion on these “enhanced” OBD-II dongles.
