Amazon.com Product Description
The MaxiTrip TP100 4-In-One Auto Computer from Autel is an innovative on board vehicle diagnostic device that combines real-time engine monitoring, failure prevention and trip tracking in a single, semi-permanent dashboard mountable device. Perfect for everyone from auto enthusiasts and do-it-yourselfers to parents of young drivers, business owners and anyone looking to maximize fuel efficiency, the unit taps into your vehicle's onboard computer via a standard 16-pin OBD-II data link connector (DLC). This is usually under the driver's side dashboard, but the TP100 can be placed unobtrusively wherever it's most convenient, safe and visible. The data points it measures break down into four distinct use categories: trip computer, digital gauges, scan tool and vehicle "black box".

Used as a trip computer, the MaxiTrip TP100 functions as a compact calculation device designed to monitor information pertaining to your vehicle's performance in real time. In this mode, it will display such useful information as data point variants related to maximum speed, driving distance, distance to empty, average speed, fuel used, time to empty, driving time, trip fuel economy and fuel to empty. Closely related to this function is the TP100's use as a digital gauge device. Useful as a supplement to your car's existing dashboard gauges, these gauges can be configured to measure and monitor up to four different sets of information simultaneously, providing real-time engine performance analysis, allowing you to adjust driving behavior immediately and save gas. Just a few of the gauges that can be displayed are: vehicle speed, engine load, RPM, ignition timing, intake air temperature, battery voltage, and many more. Once your trip is over, the TP100 serves a black box recorder for your vehicle, providing a high level view of activity. Users will be able to save up to 300 hours of driving data for later analysis including data points like time and date for each trip, maximum speed during trip, distance traveled, time overspeed, and more.

Finally, the TP100 also functions as a scan tool, useful for troubleshooting check engine light/Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) instances through the ability to view Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) on OBD-II/EOBD compliant vehicles. OBD-II is the second generation of onboard diagnostics standard for cars and trucks and has been a mandatory requirement for all vehicles sold in the US since 1996, both domestic and imports. EOBD is its European counterpart, required on gasoline models since 2000 and diesel models since 2003. This extensive vehicle coverage means that the vast majority of cars on the road today can utilize the TP100 for initial diagnosis of issues as they happen. Along with its DTC functionality TP100 also includes many other functions including: the ability to view freeze frame MIL-related data recorded by vehicle computers, the retrieval of vehicle information (VIN, CIN and CVN), and the ability to read and clear trouble codes and MIL indicators.

Performs as expected

I wanted a cheaper alternative to the scangauge that seems to work really well for a lot of folks. I had reservations ordering this unit because it was not clear to me that the unit is in fact back lit and that it gives instant mpg readout. It has those features and it is also well built.

Customer Reviews

Value meets price
I've used this tool half a dozen times and found it to be quick and easy to use. Good value for the mmoney.

Scan scan everywhere a scan cant you read the scan
Your driving down the road when you notice that bright orange or red light just lit up on the dash.
Now you start to wonder hmmm did I forget to tighten the gas cap or heck is the car even safe to drive, what do you do?

Well you can go to a dealer and let them tell you yeah you didn't tighten the cap and that will be $50.

Or

You get one of these babies and when the light comes on you pull off to a safe area and just plug it in. This model has not only the code number but what the code means in plain English a big plus no books to have look up stuff in its right there on the screen.
Also you can clear the code once your realize its the cap and save yourself that $50!

What if its something serious? Well now you know to call road side assistance and get that vehicle into a shop before some serious damage happens.

Another feature I like is it can be upgraded from the web and it also has the CAN protocol for the newer cars.

We had to turn around on a trip to Disney to get help when the light came on because we didn't know it was OK to drive. Turned out to be a bad spark plug wire and couple of wraps of electrical tape we were off again, and when we got home we could get the new wires.

The back lighting is nice for when its dark under the dash and the fact it will store the code for you comes in handy when you are inside and cant remember that code # again.

Vin numbers can be checked on certain model cars so you can see if the computer has been swapped out.

Now one thing I wish it would do is print, it has a USB cable to let you upgrade the software but how hard would it be to make it print the stored data?.

All in all its well worth the cost since you will make that money back in savings the first time you use it!

Customer Reviews

Low Price - Question
Does basic scan, freeze frame and live scan. Can't access many functions on Toyota Sienna 2003 CAN/OBD2/eobd -- some say not supported and others command sent then nothing. Live scan has some graphing, but does not save for exporting to PC computer. Printing to computer is also questionable. Doesn't seem reliable or no codes found, could be that no data was exported because no codes were found (should say so it that's the case). Should export data for graphing but does not export from scanner to PC. Oxygen sensor voltage readings were questionable (said okay, but low V reading of 0.00V, no min or max range given). Autel has one year warranty, but how to service is questionable. No one answered by email on questions on the scanner. Manual does has many gaps in it. Harbor Tool and Freight has the same unit under there brand but with a 90 day warranty. Consider the basic reader with freeze frame MS409 for $40 less.

Auto scanner
These scanners are primarily for use on Aisan vehicles but do work on euro vehicles eg saab jaguar.The jp701 are very easy to use and are excellent value for money.To date I have not found any updates and contact with manufacturer is very dificult.

14 pin
I think the 14pin adaptor should have been included. I would be grateful if someone can assist me in locating one.This tool is easy to use.

Autel Scanner JP701
The scanned does its job for a good price. I was disappointed that the adapters for the Honda, Mitsubishi and maybe others didnt come with it. I used it on a Nissan Sentra and it worked well. It is easy to use also and comes with the neat carrying case. Again the problem for me now is to somehow source the adapters to convert to 16pin connector to work with other vehicles.

Customer Reviews

Inexpensive & gets the job done
I purchased this because my car failed an inspection due to a DTC for the catalytic converter. Rather than dropping the +$200 the mechanic wanted, I bought this and was able to reset the codes. Then I drove around until the reader said that all the eleven OBD II Readiness Monitors (or I/M Monitors) defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) were ready. Viola - it passed inspection.

The reader does have all the bells and whistle such as telling the description of the DTC codes, but it does have the generic ones in the back of the manual & there is software on the CD which I didn't need but looks like it includes a list of manufactures DTC's in addition the generic.

The support site is: http://www.auteltech.com/supports.htm & there is download there for the software as well.

Does the job. Don't let the instruction manual fool you.
I thought I had a bad unit with LINK ERROR on two different cars. You will never see the MAXISCAN MS300 display on the LCD, as described in the manual. Here are the real steps to follow:

1. With the ignition off plug it in. I immediately saw CAN OBD2 on the LCD.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. This is the position just before you crank the starter. Do not start the vehicle.
3. Then press the ENTER button on the reader which starts the scan.
4. Use the SCROLL button on the reader to view the results.

This is a handy tool, but almost any auto parts store will do a free code scan for you (Auto Zone, O'Reilly, Champion...), so that might be a cheaper way to go if you don't expect to use it much. An auto repair shop can charge you $100 or more to do the same, depending on where you are in the country.

The manufacturers website http://www.auteltech.com/index.htm and manual appear to be done by a novice "Chinese to English" transalator, so can be cryptic as best and totally misleading at worst.

Note that just resetting the code will not let you pass inspection. The sensors have to return a ready/OK code for the emissions test. It takes driving several miles for the sensors to retest and get back to the ready/OK status.

Does the job
Good Reader... for the money
Does CAN
Reads generic and specific codes
2 line backlit display thats easy read
simple for novice users
Reads VINs
35 bucks
Clears your engine light
gives status of readiness monitors

And thats pretty much it..... Its basic and it works.

Just dont expect it to have any other features.

Customer Reviews

Great bang for the buck. Easy to use and reads ABS codes

The scanner powers up quickly and overall seems a bit faster than the Actron. It's easy to use; as a guy I've yet to open any kind of manual for the Autel, yet was able to read by my check engine and ABS codes that are popping up on my vehicle. In playing with the Actron the other day I pulled up the screen to read all live data at once and scrolling down was very, very slow and the tool would lag when it was asked to display the next page of data. The Autel 703 scrolled through all the live data without any lag. I haven't exported any data to a PC yet so I can't tell you how well that works. On screen descriptions were provided for both PCM codes and ABS codes.

I have an Actron 9185, which is the same as the 9190 without all the OBD 1 connectors for pre-1996 vehicles. The Actron is a great tool, but I needed to read ABS codes and the Autel was about $50 more than the Actron ABS reader only, and the Autel 703 reads ABS, Airbag, and Tranny codes, so for the extra few bucks I figured it's worth a try, and I can always sell the Actron. I paid about $50 more for the Actron 9185 than I paid for the Autel 703.


The tool is new and there don't appear to be any updates on the manufacturers site. I do expect Actron to have more frequent updates based on other online reviews. The Autel 703 DOES NOT come with the connectors to connect to pre-1996 vehicles though the software supports them. I have not seen the cables for sale anywhere.

As a hard core DIY mechanic that likes to troubleshoot and fix almost everything with my vehicles, I would recommend the Autel 703 because of the number of systems it reads, and at a lower price point than other products.
