How to Update Autel MaxiDiag MD808 Scanner 4 System to Pro Full System?

Question:

Hello, I recently bought the Autel Maxidiag MD808 scanner but  I made a mistake, it was not the MD808 Pro it’s the MD808 for 4 systems only, can you share a device account to try to update mine, if it works out I only paid for the password , registration and serial number, or can they suggest that you accept it? Thank you.

 

 

Solution from obdii365.com:

Yes. Autel MD808 4 system is possible to be updated to MD808 Pro full system.

1) If you bought the device from us (www.obdii365.com), you need to compensate the price difference of pro version (US$14) and provide your scanner Serial Number to us to run an upgrade.

 

2)If you didn’t buy the device from us, you need pay more price difference (US$30) and provide S/N as well. We can activate the update service for you.
