Reviews for Autel MaxiAP200

Avoid! Not only do key functions not work, but changing vehicle is not possible without paying a huge annual fee with dishonest pricing (price went up 20% at final payment). Literally have to throw this expensive product in this bin as it's now useless.

Bought the device to carry around in our motorhome. Took a bit of head scratching to get it up and running. Before I had chance to use it in anger this app and the European data app have both updated and won't talk to each other. Have contacted Autel so can't rate it more than one at the moment as I can't use it. Will update when problem sorted. What they didn't say was you had to unzip the data file again. Stumbled across that by accident as Autel not interested. Up to three stars for now.

Bought this so I can do ABS bleeding and a couple other things. it worked for a couple months but now it will Bluetooth pair but won't connect the vci. Update, it works with the S22+, but not the S25 ultra. says paired butvwont connect and I have tried all the methods the troubleshooting said too and have not fixed it.

Absolutely wonderful app, product works like a dream and very comprehensive compared to other mobile based OBD II scanners that require you to pay a subscription where the AP200 does not. The app for android is very clean and refined. iOS is fun as it reminds me of the golden age of the aqua aesthetic. I very much want to lick it. Functionally, couldn't ask for better. This app works beautifully even on older versions of iOS and Android. Absolutely indispensable for diagnosing with precision.

Everytime I use the app, I need to reconnect and redownload the entire file for the specific brand Benz (not due to the update but due to a recent bug). Redownload around 800MB of data every time I need to use the diag is starting to make me unhappy by the service. It consume lot of my mobile data without reason, and delay the diag due to the time to download and unzip. Lot of time loss due to bug.

I use this on my BMW e39 (540it). It is very thorough and I can read and erase fault codes easily. It does not reprogram anything. I would give it 5 stars if it could do this: After selecting the model of the vehicle you offer a "save" option, yet when the scanner is unplugged, one has to go thru the whole selectio process again. Make the previousky "saved" models a selectable option to speed things up. Autel: if you do this I think I deserve access to the other brands from the library free. 😊

Sorry, but I'm having the same problem as others, installed on my new Android phone and it no longer works. It doesn't crash the app or the phone as others are claiming but whatever function I try to use, I click on and nothing happens. Absolute nightmare as my only alternative is to book the car into a garage to reset the DPF on my car, which won't regen automatically and is the very reason I bought this. It's been fine for 3 years but now would appear to be completely useless.

There was a glitch after the latest update of the software suite. The diagnostics has not initiated after tapping in the brand badge. However after updating individual data packages, in this case Asia Diag and VW Diag the app is working fine again. For the price of subscription I would expect few car brands being bundled. Especially in the case of VAG.

Everytime I now try to enter into diagnostics mode, it goes back to main menu? I have tried everything. I have just contacted the autel support number, and talked to them for about an hour and a half. Let's see if we get an update on the app to fix some of these bugs, and the problem im having.

Stopped working after the latest update. I did get a few replies from customer support who blamed an Android update, not the app update, and directed me to an apk site to download a previous non Google verified version which wouldn't install. At this point I gave up. I got a refund for the additional module I purchased (at £20 a year the most expensive app I ever bought!) but I'm stuck with the hardware that's not useable.

F***ing terrible. Just purchased the device, and does not work. Setuo was fine, but then anytime I went to perform any function the device disconnects from the phone, the lights are on on the device so it's clearly got power. But it will not hold a connection. Have tried resting my phone, the blue tooth, disconnecting, reconnecting. Only thing that works is unplugging and replacing the device but that seem to only last 20 seconds or so. As soon as I go the next screen in the app, it's gone.

The app is a little tricky to set up but support was really awesome and I was up within 1 business day. Fast forward a year later I had to delete the app and download the newer version. It then had me add another diag asia app and then a vci firmware update. After that everything worked perfect. For 50 bucks you cant complain just be patient and reach out to those that have figured it out like on fb groups.

So I have maxiap200 that I bought little over a year ago and bought 6 plus vehicles from the mall, I went to go and use it the other day and it will not connect to any phone or tablet that I own. I even tried it it on 3 separate vehicles the green light comes on and that's it. It'll show up in my bluetooth but it'll never connect. I've un-installed re-installed the app. With no avail. I have alot of money tied up in this app and expect it to work longer than just the warranty period.

Had the original Bluetooth and app which worked great. Updated the app. Cant even get it to work. First, MUST have wifi. Does me no good on the road with no wifi. The old free app would at least still connect and read codes. Got on home wifi and tried again. Spent forever updating. Auto select vehicle, it gave a list of modules to verify? And it scanned again for each one. I was at it for an hour. Never got to reading a code. Useless.

Use to work before the update, now everything says wrangler jeep. I can't even run a simple scan unless I buy the program. When you buy a program it works flawlessly but that's $21 for a year. I have multiple cars and that is very expensive. Before the update I was able to scan any car, I couldn't get in depth with what I was seeing though. This thing is on the verge of a $70 paper weight which can't even do that much. Please rectify this issue cause this is not what I bought this for.

its always connecting to the module and eats alot of memory. doesnt save vehicles so you have to fill out the info multiple times. doesnt offer the full range of commands at all. it is better than almost every free app as far as how much info you get. the interface is clunky and there is no dark mode. also doesn't clear all the codes all the time. some stay in history. (currently faulting codes dont clear obviously). could much more operator friendly

I've had this for a few years now, it was a great experience at first. But then my android 11 phone wouldn't work with it, for almost a year. They finally update the app and I've purchased two more car subscriptions. Now the servers are down when I need it most. This is just ridiculous. Stay away from Autel on Android, they don't care about it enough.

It's had a bug for awhile that's taking a long time to fix. I can't access the app to do anything. It gives the option to save vehicle information, but it doesn't save it. So I have to enter a lot of options for the same vehicle everytime. Including specific RPO codes. It gets very tedious. It doesn't read or have certain features it advertises as well.

I can't even use the unit. It let me log in and thanks it!. Won't let me pass the main screen, I have to scan the product to register and it does register but after that when I tried to do a scan on my vehicle or go to the store and buy a vehicle it shows the scan page again and that's it. Plus I didn't mention when I plug the unit on my obd2 connector, every single light on the dash comes on. Check engine, abs, traction control, etc.

Was able to use the app without issue for the last several years but it suddenly stopped working this week. I reached out via email to support with no response. Pretty much, the app closes within half a second of launching the app. Cleared cache and data but didn't help. Uninstalled, restarted the phone, reinstalled and still the same issue. This app hasn't had an update since late last year. Pretty pathetic of support.
