Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Good price point and relatively easy to operate. Simple plug and play. User manual easy to understand.

Worked like a champ. Should have purchased it sooner. Saved me a ton of money by pointing out the issue. Don't do it if asked.

For the average person trying to keep an older vehicle on the road and not get scammed by a repair shop, this is a no-brainer. Wish it had more robust abs capability but the 629 is a great addition to my tool chest.

Bought this scanner because of an srs light on my 2002 honda accord. Was able to reset an airbag light on 2007 kia rondo. Used it on my 2006 silverado for an air bag light.

Downloadable software and a provided usb cable allows you to connect the scanner to your pc/mac and export saved scans as well as print the scan reports. Nice and compact for a bunch of features.



Cons

My scanner was manufactured 1/21. Doesn't read the abs codes for toyota. The ford dtcs are not available for any year newer than 2012.

Failed to find device when connecting to my macbook pro usingmacos catalina. Downloading the program on my pc was impossible too.

In the interim, i had contacted autel support and received a very prompt, courteous and too the point reply.


Shipped quick, needed to check transmission codes, worked as expected.

Packaging/appearance


Arrived when it was supposed to in perfect shape

Competitiveness


It includes lifetime updates, and supports a lot of different manufacturers, with some updates as recent as 2021.


I bought an autel tpms tool and decided to continue with autel for the obd2 in diagnosing problems.


I have a few other, more costly scanners that don't provide the results from this one.
