Comparation of Autel MS908CV vs MS908 CV vs 909CV

Autel has a series of diagnostic products specifically for Commercial Vehicles, including MS906CV, MaxisysCV (MS908CV) and 909CV, so what is the difference between these three products? Today let's compare the MS906CV, MaxisysCV (MS908CV) and 909CV.

Before we start, let's understand Autel's classification of Commercial Vehicles.

Road Vehicles:

①3.5t and above trucks, buses, RVs, special vehicles (fire engines, etc.)

②Below 3.5t are mainly diesel vehicles

③ Trailer

Off-road vehicles/industrial engines: agricultural, construction, engineering (currently not supported, but a follow-up effort)

Autel's products currently do not support the diagnosis of non-road vehicles and industrial engines, so this part can basically be ignored. Autel CV focuses on providing diagnosis for trucks, buses, RVs, and special vehicles (such as fire engines, etc.) over 3.5t. Below 3.5t, mainly diesel vehicles, Autel's CV diagnostic tools can be used for some models, and most other series of Autel diagnostic panels can also do this part of the function, this depends on personal needs before purchasing, if the power supply voltage is 24V The car must choose the CV series of diagnostic products.

Next, let's get to the point and compare Autel ms908CV vs MS908 CV vs 909CV.

From the above chart, we can simply understand the differences between the MS906 CV, Maxisys CV (MS908 CV) and 909CV. Next, let's take a look at the comparison of the hardware parameters of the three products.

In fact, the high-end positioning of the ms909cv can also be seen from the hardware configuration. Let's take a look at the important functional differences between the three.
