Factsinfostuff.com Product Description
The MaxiTrip TP100 4-In-One Auto Computer from Autel is an innovative on board vehicle diagnostic device that combines real-time engine monitoring, failure prevention and trip tracking in a single, semi-permanent dashboard mountable device. Perfect for everyone from auto enthusiasts and do-it-yourselfers to parents of young drivers, business owners and anyone looking to maximize fuel efficiency, the unit taps into your vehicle's onboard computer via a standard 16-pin OBD-II data link connector (DLC). This is usually under the driver's side dashboard, but the TP100 can be placed unobtrusively wherever it's most convenient, safe and visible. The data points it measures break down into four distinct use categories: trip computer, digital gauges, scan tool and vehicle "black box".
Used as a trip computer, the MaxiTrip TP100 functions as a compact calculation device designed to monitor information pertaining to your vehicle's performance in real time. In this mode, it will display such useful information as data point variants related to maximum speed, driving distance, distance to empty, average speed, fuel used, time to empty, driving time, trip fuel economy and fuel to empty. Closely related to this function is the TP100's use as a digital gauge device. Useful as a supplement to your car's existing dashboard gauges, these gauges can be configured to measure and monitor up to four different sets of information simultaneously, providing real-time engine performance analysis, allowing you to adjust driving behavior immediately and save gas. Just a few of the gauges that can be displayed are: vehicle speed, engine load, RPM, ignition timing, intake air temperature, battery voltage, and many more. Once your trip is over, the TP100 serves a black box recorder for your vehicle, providing a high level view of activity. Users will be able to save up to 300 hours of driving data for later analysis including data points like time and date for each trip, maximum speed during trip, distance traveled, time overspeed, and more.
Finally, the TP100 also functions as a scan tool, useful for troubleshooting check engine light/Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) instances through the ability to view Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) on OBD-II/EOBD compliant vehicles. OBD-II is the second generation of onboard diagnostics standard for cars and trucks and has been a mandatory requirement for all vehicles sold in the US since 1996, both domestic and imports. EOBD is its European counterpart, required on gasoline models since 2000 and diesel models since 2003. This extensive vehicle coverage means that the vast majority of cars on the road today can utilize the TP100 for initial diagnosis of issues as they happen. Along with its DTC functionality TP100 also includes many other functions including: the ability to view freeze frame MIL-related data recorded by vehicle computers, the retrieval of vehicle information (VIN, CIN and CVN), and the ability to read and clear trouble codes and MIL indicators.
Customer Reviews for 'Autel MaxiTrip TP100 4-In-1 Auto Computer'
Bang For Your Buck, Right?
Imagine a fully loaded YUGO. Every bell & whistle you can want in a car, only the car doesn't run. This product is priced right. It sure does a lot. Plenty of features and selling points. But the build quality is poor, and it stops working shortly after the warranty period expires. Sucks. Stick with the ScanGauge II.
review
Initially had an issue with the miles traveled being way off, but a quick email to customer service, and they sent me the updated software...loaded that and now it works great...
the only issue...
about 50% of the time, when I start the car, the device does not come on...I have to unplug the ethernet connector and plug back in, then it comes on.
needs a software update
not a bad product,except when it reaches a certain temperature it totally shuts down. definetly a design flaw.I've already sent one back to amazon.The replacement sometimes won't power on either. Just be aware!
It's no ScanGauge, but it works... kinda... sometimes
I have had ScanGauge products since their early days and always thought they were well done, although expensive.
The MaxiTrip seemed worthy of a shot, especially for the price.
The display is really bright- too bright. You can't change the color like a ScanGauge. It won't blend in with the interior, especially at night. The unit is gigantic as well and can only mount on top of a large flat surface... another miss compared to the ScanGauge.
It sometimes won't come on and I have to unplug/replug the unit to make it come on.
As far as accuracy as mentioned by a previous reviewer, what it displays is what YOUR VEHICLE reports to it via the OBD (on board diagnostics) port. If the speed is off, it is because your vehicle is not accurate. Changes in optional factory gear ratios, tire size etc can change the accuracy of the speedo. Add that to the requirement that a speedometer only has to be within 10% either high or low to be considered normal. GPS speed calculation can be quite good, but when I look at my Nuvi reporting top speed in my car as 176mph- you get the point... it's never been over 150 with the GPS in it. :)
If you just want a cheap one and will accept that it's huge, sometimes doesn't work- that's cool. The ScanGauge is in a whole other league, but it's also a whole other price point. You get what you pay for.
it works
It seems like a good product so far. Its does everything they say it will. Although it couldn't read mt VIN nor the VIN on three other cars I tried it on. Oh well. There are two reasons I got this product 1.to get MPG 2.to read OBDII codes. The MPG feature works ok, but I think it is a little too generous. It says my truck is getting about 18-19MPG when I pretty sure its only getting around 15MPG. I have to adjust it some how. The code reader works weel too as I got to try it out the first day I got it. A buddy of mine from work had his check engine light come on. I was able to read and clear the code for him. Its hard to find a place to put it. The box said it comes with tape to mount it somewhere, but mine didn't. Even if i wanted to mount it somewhere it would be hard because the cord plugs into two places, the back and the right side (if your looking at the meter). It might be easier to put it somewhere if it was on the left side. You'll se what I mean. All in all I pretty happy with it anyways.
