Not sure if it of interest but the autel md802, presumably the successor to the 801, is about £400!

......and I think the only difference over the 801 is the ability to read model years beyond 2008, oh and a nicer display.
Makes the £125 I paid for my MD801 look like a bargain.

You can get a fake or 'grey import' 802 for £150 - £200.

I don't know why but the fakes all have stickers on the back with numbers/letters in a font that seems to be common to all far eastern knock-offs.

Just been looking around google and I can't actually find a genuine 802 for sale! Even some of the £400 plus ones would appear to be suspect!

If I was you, I would do a quick search to make 100% sure that the EU702 works with your 1999 car. If you can confirm for sure that it does, then I can assume that the MD801 will work too.

Just to let you know, The EU702 works nicely with petrol cars but cannot communicate with Diesel ones. It will still reset the SRS and Service light and access the ABS system but it will not read any engine codes of diesel cars.

My car is a Volvo S40 -2002- 1.9 diesel. The airbags light came up (is on).
I would like to know if this readers AUTEL MD801 or FOXWELL NT600 can read the fault (identify the code and where is the problem) and reset it ( turn off the light)?
Any help will be very welcome.

Many thanks and happy new year.

the link is dead. AUTEL tech company is based in China, original made by Chinese, yes? If it is a clone, why does it comes with register account and password to login into autel website to run an upgrade?

"AUTEL" and "FOXWELL" are quite similar, the only difference i can see is FOXWELL scanner is designed to meet market demand (specific for Asia, Europe, America etc), but AUTEL does not... you add yours
