edit (11-4-15) - I have owned this for over three years now and has been extremely valuable. I have had several different cars since the time I originally bought this and used at least a half dozen times on family/friends cars to pull codes. This thing is great, even though these can be borrowed for free at auto parts stores to pull codes, it is more convenient to do it yourself in your own home on your schedule. This thing even stunned me when it could read a 2004 Audi A4 as VW and Audi normally are on a completely different communication/diagnostic system than most other cars in the world. Also I am pretty rough with this thing because it was so cheap and I wouldn't care if I had to replace and it has continued to work. It may be cheap but has been extremely valuable to me in pulling engine codes. I wish there was a rating above 5 star!
Pros:
User-Friendly Interface: The MS300 features a simple and intuitive interface that doesn't require any technical expertise. It's easy to navigate the menu and retrieve diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
Compatibility: This code reader is compatible with most OBD2-compliant vehicles manufactured after 1996, including cars, SUVs, and trucks. It covers a wide range of makes and models, making it versatile for multiple vehicles in your household.
Quick Diagnostics: The scanner provides a quick and accurate diagnosis of engine-related issues. It helps pinpoint the problem area, saving you time and money on unnecessary repairs.
Compact and Portable: The small and lightweight design makes it easy to store in your glove compartment or toolkit, ensuring you have it on hand when needed.
Affordability: Compared to professional diagnostic tools, the Autel MS300 is budget-friendly while still offering essential diagnostic capabilities.
Cons:
Limited Features: This scanner is primarily designed for basic engine diagnostics. It doesn't provide advanced features like live data streaming or ABS/SRS diagnostics.
No Screen Backlight: The absence of a screen backlight can be a drawback in low-light conditions, as it may make the display difficult to read.
No Update Option: Unlike some other scanners, the MS300 doesn't offer software updates, so it might become outdated as new vehicle models are released.
In summary, the Autel MS300 OBD2 Scanner Code Reader is a reliable and user-friendly tool for diagnosing engine issues in most OBD2-compliant vehicles. Its affordability, ease of use, and quick diagnostics make it a practical choice for car owners who want to perform basic engine diagnostics without the need for professional assistance. While it has some limitations, such as the lack of advanced features and update options, it serves its primary purpose effectively and represents a cost-effective solution for vehicle maintenance.
