Good bi-directional scan tool

[Bagherra]

What do you guys recommend for a good bi-d scan tool?
I currently have one a scanner from Harbor Frieght that i use to read codes.

Since you've posted in the 2015-2020 section, I'd recommend an Autel bi-directional scanner in the $500-$600 range.

I also have an Autel MK808S. Which Autel do you have?

If it says it can, it will. If does not say, call Autell or email them at [email protected]

Like @OR VietVet mentioned, you'll need to look at the spec details to see what it will do. At that price, it likely won't program new keys, but look deeper.

Can some of the autels make adjustments in the BCM?

Autel MaxiPROMP900-TSTablet. The learning curve is kind of steep, and I'm still trying to figure out what all it does, but it seems pretty comprehensive. Got it after a friend bought our 2010 Tahoe PPV with a CEL on that to me was looking like an expensive fix. He used his Autel to do a TB relearn, which fixed the issue. I got the same model he had.

recalibrate versus reprogram very different.
I haven't come across a anything that allows to reprogram, flash a map on ecu, ,tcm, bcm
that is a bi-direction scanner.

again recalibrate vs reprogram..not the same word.

Now HP Tuners offers software & hardware to reprogram ecu, tcm, & other cm.

While my tahoe was getting reprogramed for DOD & TC lock up (5 & 6),
it showed 3 modules, ecu, tcm, & forget what the last one was.
