First of all, MK906BT is the e-commerce version of MS906BT, there is no difference in hardware and software. The MK906BT can support 13 languages, while the MS906BT only supports English (all Autel Maxisys tablets only support English). The only difference is the appearance of the tablet, the edge of the MK906BT screen is red.
MK906BT, as the lowest price among the three products, has the same functions as the other two. As a mid-end diagnostic tool, MK906BT has basic functions such as OBD2 diagnostics and reset services. Compared with DS808/MP808, the difference between mid- and low-end tablets is: First, the vehicle is connected to the vehicle via VCI 100 wireless Bluetooth, ECU Coding for BMW, Porsche, VW, etc. can be performed. The second is to have additional accessories such as MP408, MV108, BT506 and other equipment for special testing.
Pros
Cons
As an upgraded version of MK906BT, MK908 has a huge improvement in hardware, which is mainly reflected in larger battery capacity, larger screen and resolution, which can effectively improve your experience.
Pros
Cons
The meaning of P in MK908P is Programming, which means that the most prominent feature of MK908P compared to MK908 is that it can perform BMW's ECU programming and Benz's ECU coding/programming. Therefore, for users who need online programming tools, MK908P meets the needs. If you have purchased MK908 but have programming needs, you only need to purchase the J2534 programming tool. That is to say, the tablet of MK908P and MK908 are exactly the same.
Pros
Cons
This article features 3 mid-range to high-end diagnostic tools in the MaxiCOM range, priced from £900 to £1900. If you don't need programming, then the advanced features of MK908P are not necessary for you. If you have workshops, then we recommend you to choose MK908, because compared to MK906BT, MK908 can match more models in addition to hardware upgrades, which can well meet your daily bussiness.
