Autel MaxiCOM MK808BT PRO: The Wireless Revolution in Car Diagnostics

Let’s face it: mechanic bills are painful, and being tethered to a dashboard by a short, stubborn cable is even worse. Whether you are a home enthusiast or running a busy workshop, the Bi-Directional Diagnostic Scanner is designed to give you back your freedom and your money. As the 2026 flagship upgrade to the legendary MK808 and MK808S, this pro-level tablet introduces Bluetooth VCI technology, allowing you to diagnose vehicles from up to 33 feet away. No more “hugging” the steering wheel—now you can scan the engine while standing comfortably at the workbench.

Pro-Grade Power Under the Hood

The MK808BT PRO isn’t just a basic code reader; it’s a high-performance computer. Powered by the Rockchip RK3566 CPU and running on Android 11, this tablet delivers lightning-fast boot-up times and seamless multitasking. With 4GB of RAM and an expanded 64GB of storage, you have the horsepower to run complex reports and store years of vehicle data without a hint of lag. Furthermore, the 7-inch responsive touchscreen and 5000mAh battery ensure you can work continuously for up to 7 hours.

Why Bi-Directional Control Changes Everything

The “PRO” in this model truly shines with its Bi-Directional Control (Active Test) capability. This feature allows you to send commands directly to the vehicle’s ECU to test specific components. Consequently, you can verify if a fuel pump, A/C clutch, or windshield wiper is actually broken without tearing the car apart. In addition, it supports 38+ Special Service Functions, including:

ABS Brake Bleeding: Get the air out of your lines for firm, safe stopping.
Oil & SAS Reset: Clear service lights and calibrate steering sensors instantly.
Injector Coding: Ensure new injectors are recognized for optimal fuel efficiency.
FCA AutoAuth: Seamlessly access 2018+ Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge vehicles.
IMMO Keys: Disable lost keys and add new fobs for basic anti-theft systems.
