Other features of MaxiSys Ultra:
Pros
- VCMI that supports Wi-Fi could give you an oscilloscope view.
- More newer J2534 protocols supported help diagnose newer vehicles
- Both support online programming on BMW/Mercedes, but the Ultra doesn’t need BMW Ethernet cable.
- Multiple displays in one screen allows multi-tasking.
- Select vehicles by Scanning VIN/license plate via the camera.
Cons
- The built-in battery cannot be removed, which requires users to buy from a dealer that could help you handle battery issues in case.
- Very high update service price.
Personal view on which to buy
If you work on a body shop and keep handling newer vehicle in all respects, it’s a great tool; if users cannot utilize the features of the Ultra, so I might recommend a different tool or tool pair, like IM508 with XP400Pro and MS909, or IM608 with XP400Pro and Maxiflash elite (J2534).
