How to choose an Autel MaxiTPMS product
Start by deciding whether you need a dedicated TPMS tool or a multi‑function diagnostic tablet. The TS900 and TS508WF focus exclusively on TPMS with advanced programming and relearn, while the MK808Z combines full vehicle diagnostics with TPMS service. For sensor replacements, the MX-Sensor metal and rubber models both offer 99% coverage with a single SKU — choose based on your preferred valve stem material. Consider update methods: the TS508WF offers lifetime WiFi updates, whereas the TS900’s update terms are not detailed in the brand’s published info. All products ship with free standard shipping within the continental US and are backed by a 30‑day return policy.
What the brand does not state
Autel US does not publish the full list of TPMS relearn procedures for each tool on its product pages. The battery life or operating temperature range for the TS900 and TS508WF are not specified. While the MX-Sensor is claimed to be 99% compatible, the exact list of vehicles is not provided. Warranty terms beyond the 30‑day return policy are not stated for most products (the TS508WF mentions a 1‑year tool warranty). The brand also does not disclose the annual cost of software updates after the free period, nor does it specify whether the TS900 includes an OBDII cable or sensor activation trigger.
