Table Comparison 2:
Autel MaxiSys Pro MS908P vs. MaxiSys Elite vs. Launch PAD III vs. Topdon ArtiPad I
Customer working experience on Topdon Artipad I and MaxiSys:
They are similar.
diagnostic wise (scanning cars – speed of connecting and scanning) To be honest, not much of a difference…. however, the Artipad seems a bit faster on some modules… Connecting to cars, I found it faster on BMW, when loading details.
Looks like there is some functions that are not available on the Autel…
Sometimes Autel can do a job… but the Artipad was not able to.
The Topdon pad is with the same functions as the Launch x431 pro.
