I hate to be the bearer of bad news don't think it is genuine Autel there are a lot of knock off MS509 copies sold on eBay. Two things raise alarm bells it is sold as a KW808 and the fact Autel haven't produced the MS509 for about 3 years, the curent "5"series models are the 519 and 539 and 539B Having said it may work perfectly well the MS509 was a good value for money tool in its time although unlike the MS609 it only covers power train codes in the end it really depends what you paid and how good a clone it is..

As I said it really boils down to if it works or not, cloned knock offs are very hit or miss. The price you paid is the half going rate for a genuine Autel 519 product which has minor additional features. Even the 519. won't give you ABS diagnostics or Airbag. Coverage of ABS needs the 609 model and Airbag coverage starts with the 619
