NEGATIVE thread of AUTEL scanner

[Fbird]

So as implied. I purchased an AUTEL 808BT scanner to work on my stable of stuff. I feature I liked was the ability to re-program OEM crap to modified stuff. WELL $700 later (including a $50 auotoauth.com secutiry key) guess what ...CHIT IS NOT SUPPORTED. The only thing i need it to do is change tire size....NOPE ....NOT SUPPORTED.....PITFA

So...WHO knows how to get my speedo correct3ed for the 35"s i put on it?????....

Doesn't the Tazer do that?

Alfa OBD, MX+ OBD II and a security bypass cable. To the best of my knowledge.

There are 112 pages on the alfaobd sub forum.
5th Gen Modifications/Accessories

You could of spent $100 to do this with Alfaobd, a cheap odb2 to BT, and SWG bypass module.
Why would you go buy some random "dealership" level tool and not know if it even supported your truck???

i didn't have this truck YET. Scanner was purchased for the rest of our stuff and it does THOSE things OK. I THOUGHT that SURELY my NEW badass scanner would be able to accomplish such a simple task on a 2 yr old truck so when I started working on this truck i didn't even consider the likelyhood of it not being supported.

It is clearly documented on their website. You can lookup exactly what it can do. On my 22 Ram it can only program tire sensor identifications nothing else related to tires.
Next time research the product before you buy it
