Published: May 4, 2026 · Last updated: May 15, 2026
I tried Kingbolen K8 PRO and scanner is extremely user friendly. Runnin on similiar software than my favourite go to scanner Mucar 892BT and is basically the same. Fast and easy to solve most problems I deal with in my garage.

Hi Juraj, I have King K8Pro to use 12 graph feature on 21 Ateca 2lt tdi but all I get is 4 graph combined option, have you tried this on this year VAG group? Am I missing an update? Would the Mucar have been a better buy for this function?
thanks
Hi I just used it in my BMW with K8 pro. Have you tried opening data stream in module and then select “graph” – for me it opens 12 graph view.
