Differences in autel scanners

[mountain_man]

What are the functional differences in the maxi sys 905, 906, and 908? Are they all bidirectional with the same coverage? I couldn't find it on their website?

No functional difference. Diagnostic software is the same in all of them.

Video from AES wave explains it quite well. From what I understand, the scanner bit is all the same. If you want TPMS flashing, bigger battery, ECU flashing, etc, you step up from the 906.
