My Autel 906BT is hit or miss on CRD's but both of my Snap On scanners connect 100% of the time with zero issues(Solus Ultra and Modis),granted they cost 6-10 times as much.
6-10 times as much? Holy crap! So $4800-8000? Or 6-10 times the 906 which is$6k-10K? I thought $750 was a fortune. I guess I fumble around with the DS808. Can a Starscan emulator be had for under $500? I see these witech things on ebay, and I had a key made at a dealer, and I think that's what the tech tried because there was something wrong with their starscan. He ended up using their DRBIII which I guess was good enough to program a key.
My Solus Ultra was $5000,add European and all OBDI connectors your at another $1000,then $1000 a year to update.
The Modis was $8000,and again with European software(uses the same OBDI connector set as my Solus) that adds $600 and again $1000 per year to update.
You have to pay to get the best access when OEM scan tools are not a option(and those can range from $5000-$10,000 each).Snap On makes most of the OEM scan tools anyways so you will always have better luck with Snap On branded scanners then any others besides actual OEM scan tools.
Those knock off OE scan tool emulators really don't work most of the time and the newer vehicles have programs now that can sense them and lock everything up.
