Autel OBDII Cable for Older DIY Tools
The Autel OBDII Cable for Older DIY Tools is a replacement or spare main diagnostic cable designed for Autel's earlier consumer-grade scan tools. If you own an older Autel DIY scanner and the original cable has worn out, been damaged, or gone missing, this cable restores your tool's ability to connect to the vehicle's OBD-II port.
Who Needs This Cable
This cable is for owners of older Autel DIY-series scan tools who need a direct replacement. Professional shops running Autel's MaxiSYS or MaxiDAS platforms use different VCI hardware (wireless or wired via separate adapters) — this cable is specifically for the older consumer line tools. If you are unsure whether this cable is compatible with your specific Autel model, call us with the model number before ordering.
What It Does
- Provides the main OBD-II connection between the scan tool and the vehicle's diagnostic port
- Replaces worn, damaged, or missing original cables for compatible older Autel DIY scan tools
- Standard OBDII 16-pin connector for vehicles 1996 and newer with a standard OBD-II port
Important Compatibility Note
This cable is for older Autel DIY tools only — it is not compatible with MaxiSYS, MaxiDAS, MaxiCOM, or current professional-grade Autel platforms, which use separate VCI modules or built-in wireless communication. If you are shopping for a cable for a professional Autel tablet, this is not the right part.
No manufacturer product page was found for this SKU. Verify compatibility with your specific tool model before ordering.
