Uninstalling Vehicle Apps on Autel Devices

There are two primary methods for uninstalling vehicle apps:
1. Using ES File Explorer

Open ES File Explorer and navigate to Local > sdcard > Scan > Vehicle.
-
Select the desired vehicle region (e.g., Europe, USA, Asia).
-
Long-press the setup package for the vehicle manufacturer you wish to uninstall (e.g., BMW).
-
Click “Delete” in the edit bar that appears.
-
Navigate to Local > sdcard > Scan > Download.
-
If present, delete the corresponding vehicle app (e.g., BMW) within the download folder.
2. Using Data Manager
- Open the Data Manager application.
- Select Apps Uninstall.
- Under Diagnosis & Service, choose the vehicle manufacturer icons you want to remove.
Updating Your Autel Device with Maxi-Link II
Autel provides two primary update methods: through the tablet itself for MaxiSys devices, and via Maxi PC Suite or MaxiLink II for handheld devices like the AL539.
Updating Handheld Devices with Maxi-Link II
The Autel AL539 utilizes the Maxi-Link II software for updates. Here’s how:

Uploading Data Logs on Autel Devices
Uploading data logs helps Autel diagnose and resolve issues with your device or vehicle applications.
1. Vehicle App Issues
If you encounter communication problems or errors within a specific vehicle application, upload the data log directly from the operation page. The “Conversation” icon usually indicates the data log collection option.
2. Non-Vehicle App Issues (System Errors)
For issues unrelated to a specific vehicle app, such as software download failures or Bluetooth connectivity problems, utilize the MaxiTools application:
-
Open MaxiTools.

Click “Start” to begin collecting the data log.
