Trusted Autel J2534 Pass-Thru Solutions
The gateway to OEM-level diagnostics & programming
AUTEL & J2534 Pass-Thru
Shop owners can optimize workflow and offer customers the security of key-to-key service. With more than a decade of experience developing J2534 devices, started with the MaxiFlash Elite in 2014, Autel continues to set the standard for reliable and high-performance J2534 pass-thru devices. That early innovation provided deep insight into OEM communication standards, power management, and programming stability—expertise that drives the design of every new generation of Autel interfaces.
More Critical Than Ever
Today’s modern vehicles require the use of OE software to complete even common repairs or service functions. Whether initializing a new module, updating software to correct performance issues, or reprogramming components after replacement, the ability to communicate seamlessly with OEM systems has become essential. Autel has a long history in J2534 technology ensures technicians have the trusted tools and stability needed to meet these evolving service demands.
Up-To-Date Repair Information
When connected to a Windows PC and the required OE software subscription, you can program new modules, flash existing ones, or perform many resets, services, coding, adaptations, or diagnostics tasks requiring OE software. Check the automaker’s website for recommended computer specifications, internet speeds, and connection types.
At the link below you’ll find easy access to the most up-to-date repair information made available by each of its participating automakers, including links to automaker’s specific subscription information and software portals.
Autel MaxiPC Suite
The Autel MaxiPC Suite includes the necessary automaker-required drivers for your PC to seamlessly interface with OE portals, subscriptions, and software.
Finish Every Repair with Autel J2534 Hardware
Purpose-built for OEM-level hardware and software workflows: Finish Every Repair. Keep programming, and coding. Setup work in-house with the Autel XLink or MaxiFlash VCI, and your OEM subscriptions, so you control timelines and margins.
Note: Security-related functions in many OEM apps require OEM credentials; that’s the manufacturer’s rule, not the scan tool’s.
MaxiFlash XLink
Standalone 3-in-1 Device
- Works as an enhanced VCI for Autel tablets, a Windows-PC J2534 pass-thru programmer, and is a Remote Expert–ready device.
- Supports modern vehicle comms, including CAN FD and DoIP; supports J2534 and (per product literature) D-PDU/RP1210 for broad compatibility.
MaxiFlash VCI
Compact J2534 VCI
- Bluetooth-enabled VCI that functions as a J2534 pass-thru interface when paired with a Windows PC and OEM software; engineered for late-model protocol support (DoIP/CAN FD on applicable platforms).

No software? No specialist?
Use Autel Remote Expert
When you don’t have the OEM subscription or an in-house programmer, connect to vetted specialists directly from supported Autel tablets (UltraS2/Ultra/MS919/MS909).
Experts perform remote module programming using OEM tools while you monitor vehicle vitals, message in-app, and close the RO—keeping the work (and revenue) in your shop. Coverage spans many popular brands, and the workflow is integrated and secure.
Autel vs. “Just a J2534 box”
- End-to-end ecosystem: standalone J2534 (XLink/MaxiFlash VCI), integrated VCMI/VCMI2 on Ultra Series, plus Remote Expert for overflow or specialty work—so you always have a path to finish every repair.
- Modern protocol depth: DoIP & CAN FD support across current platforms to future-proof late-model coverage.
- Driver & setup support: Maxi PC Suite streamlines driver installs for OEM apps.
OEM subscriptions, accounts, and any required security credentials are sold/managed by each automaker. Windows PC required for J2534 programming workflows. Vehicle and function coverage vary by brand, model year, and OEM policy; confirm requirements via the OEM’s site (see OEM1Stop).
Take on OEM-Level Repairs
This webinar covers how as vehicles become increasingly software-driven, repair shops must be prepared to handle OEM-level repairs that require secure access, reprogramming, and module updates. J2534 pass-thru programming has become an industry standard, but many shops are still unsure of the best way to approach it.
