Autel has just announced a new regional policy for Total Care Program (TCP) cards affecting all users in the U.S. and Canada — and while it might sound like a routine update, it’s actually a major crackdown on unauthorized software card resellers, especially the too-good-to-be-true listings found on marketplaces like Amazon and eBay.
Let’s break down what’s changing, why it matters for anyone with an Autel tool, and why right now is the perfect moment to stock up on software renewals — especially with 25% off all TCP cards at ADAS Depot.
The Bad News
Autel is now enforcing a region-specific activation policy for their Total Care Program:
✅ Only TCP cards designated for North America will work on North American Autel tools.
❌ Activation codes from other regions (like Europe or Asia) will no longer be accepted.
This means if you try to load a cheap card you picked up online from an overseas seller, it will now trigger an error and won’t activate your tool.
Note: If you already bought a card before this policy change, you’re safe — previously purchased cards are unaffected.
The Good News
ADAS Depot is offering 25% off ALL TCP cards until June 27th.
You can buy now, save big, and load it later whenever your current subscription runs out.
