Anyone using an Autel Maxilink 629 scanner?

Mine doesn't seem to be able to talk to the ST. It talks to the '11 Camaro & the beater '04 Accord.

Disregard, Autel called me & told me I need to "upgrade from a $98 scanner to a $2000 Tablet"

It was a short call......I suggested he may have had sexual relations with his mom...

You are better off getting Forscan and an approved OBDII adapter for it anyways.

What's the $$ for that set up?

If you just want diagnostics, android or iOS "Lite" app is $5.99.
For PC laptop use, Forscan can be downloaded from Forscan.org. There is a 2mo free trial you can sign up for. 3yr license is $20.

Bluetooth OBDLINK MX+ $120 is great for convenience. Will work for Lite app or PC. You can do diagnostics, and on PC, diagnostics and configuration changes.

or

Wired OBDLINK EX $50. Works for PC. Can do diagnostics, configuration and module firmware updates (beta).

You only need one of the adapters above. There are other adapters that work but the above are recommended by Forscan.

95% of the time, I use the iOS Forscan Lite app with my MX+.
5% of the time, I use my PC with EX or MX+. I have a lifetime Forscan license.

I won't be making config changes, it's all I can do to get my email working 90% of the time.

With that said, I am a mechanic... but I work on these things... (No computers required)

What the heck is that first Rolls-Royce V12 for? At first I thought it was for aircraft duty, but on second glance what I thought was a gear reduction box looks more like a pump. And just curious, what plane uses those radials?

Merlin is out of a P51, That's the blower on the back of the engine. Carb is lower left corner. box looking thing up top is the intercooler.

Radial (R2800) was used in Hellcats, Bearcats, Tigercats, Invaders, Corsairs, Marauders, Thunderbolts, DC6 & Convair 240's, CH37 Mojave helicopters etc. A26 Invader version in the pic.
