Glad I read the reviews. This appears to be the one to buy. Instructions, onscreen codes, and price make this a worthwhile product. I used it right out of the box and fixed the problem, cleared the codes, and saved a bundle over going to a dealer. Read the original review here.

Used this on a stubborn code 446 problem that would have cost at least one limb for the dealer to track down. Last time I took my truck in for a check “engine light” it cost $100+ for them to diagnose and replace a gas cap! After having this scanner for the last couple months and doing a sequential parts check I was able to fix the problem with minimal expense. Knowing what part is needed and shopping around cut the cost in half for the part….. Read the original review here.

Final Thoughts…

I think the Autel MaxiScan MS490 is a very servicable tool for the novice and experienced user alike.  Most of us aren’t professional mechanics and just want to have some good data available when we visit the repair shop. The MS409 provides that at a price that you would spend having dinner out with your family. And you can recoup the cost easily with just one scan of your vehicle.
