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 obd2tool.com:
Yes. Autel MD808 4 system is possible to be updated to MD808 Pro full system.
1) If you bought the device from us, 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.
