Hello everyone, Pablo48. While I do not know the laws of your country, at least in mine, it has placed imitations or clones of the main Chinese manufacturers of diagnostic equipment, I was a launch user ... and today, at least here, it is difficult to buy an original one ... and we are talking about companies that have their established stores ... and in Chilito nobody does nothing ... the free market is The consumer protection service is only painted on this issue .... so the abysmant differences in price. I changed to Autel, a few days ago I acquired a MS908 maxisys, and before buying it, I realized in the NET that even for this professional scanner, of high cost and high performance ... there are already copies ... very few, but there are ... Personally, personally matters directly from Autel USA, I do not like Yankees very much, but they are legal when doing a business. On the differences between the original machine and the clone, it is in the quality and development of the software, stability and rapids of use, the clonics deliver in many cases wrong data ... which can induce an error in the diagnosis, for me the main thing is confidence in the software. AUTEL delivers a certificate of authenticity, tries to acquire it from a reliable company ... in general they are not the cheapest. On which Autel Buy, acquires the best than your presuppose and needs require, the worst for me is to fall short with the diagnostic machine, apart from the best quality model, it will be in force more years ...
All this, the clones, at least here, is what has generated problems when certifying a company before the industry, or the sanctions. The multi -brand diagnosis machines of recognized companies (Chinese or not) are already part of the industry standard from the implementation of the diagnostic system on board second generation (OBD2), where much of this procedure was standardized, therefore, in my opinion I should not have sanctioned for the use of these diagnosis tools. The attitude of the automotive industry, only demonstrates what they are towards the 5 main technology developers today, exclusion ... to all those who are independently part of the world automotive industry. They hide the information (now only on computer platforms of restricted access) ... sanctions ... they want to have us controlled in everything and for this they are generating a system of total technological dependence ... Globalization ... no thanks ... Pablo forgives this volatous, this is only the opinion of a Latin American colleague. Greetings to all.
