850 scanner: thoughts on buying from Hong Kong?

Post by **JimBee** » 24 Mar 2014, 19:04

Seller seems to have best price on Autel unit by far, even with shipping, and has positive feedback. Any possibility of knockoff? Other issues?

Delivery may take 6 weeks.

Honestly, I'd get Vol-Fcr. I rarely use my Autel on my 98 except if I want to see some live data.

Which Autel are you eyeballing?

Buy from a site that has feedback like AliExpress and also buy from a seller that has FedEx or DHL post options.

Even EMS post is 10 days maximum.

Just don't choose China Post

I deal with Mandy Deng from Shenzen Zeuss (AliExpress seller) I've ordered about 5 Autel EU-702s and each one took no more than 5 days.

If you can get the us703 cheaper then get that instead. I can send you every European and Japanese file to upload to it. Then it's good for all makes. The only issue is that the Mercedes file is so large that there won't be room for it.

I have every domestic, Japanese and euro make on mine except Mercedes.

These units have only 16mb of file memory for the carmaker files. The newer MD 801 can store them all.

Just ordered the Eu variety for $113.00, free shipping. Seems like a good price. Why that one? I have an old Windows LT with a dead battery, but I mainly use a Mac, the portability of the Autel won me over

. I'm looking forward to getting my first complete scan on a couple of '96's.

Shenzen Zeuss has them this week for $USD 68 plus $28 for DHL delivery.

No I'm not taking a commission just passing on a trusted seller's details.

Bought two scanners a year apart
The autel md802 (reads all modules, and abs/srs)
And the Launch Cpr123 model or something like that.

Updates are all valid and they reposed to emails quickly although not the best English speakers
