On my Subaru Legacy iCarSoft do not read any fault at all.
On my Audi Q7 it find some fault code but it can not reset battery, reset service interval and lots of other functions do not work. Stay a way from it. No answer form support!
Looking at the reviews I've just wasted my money,, Software version out the box is out of date for the car it was bought for,, updated and still rubbish, returns policy states no returns if unit has been activated and updated, very clever Chinese marketing... The video shows just one of the faulty modules in this unit, it's supposed to be performing a battery reset but brining up injector cleaning on cylinder 1... Avoid if I were you, wish I had seen these reviews before buying..
I bought an item from this company and when it arrived they wanted another £43 i refused and contacted them and was told by one of there employees that there fed up with us from the uk and we should learn to read very rude and very bias company
This is the biggest con ever. Read all the publicity about this product which states it will do all and more of its sister readers the V1 & V2 and specifically states the vehicle makes it covers. But there is a small statement saying that some models may not be supported by all the functions. Where are the models? I couldn't see them. Bought it specifically for French vehicles as I am a professional there and what model do you think it doesn't cover …. Only the major seller to the French workers the Peugeot boxer. Top of the range and costs more than competitors and it doesn't do even injector coding! Absolute rubbish. Might as well use it as a door stop. Icarsoft support don't want to know.
Returns none standard DTC's which do not exist and technical support is literally none existent. Issues not resolved or explained in 7 weeks of emails. Over 30 sent and 6 received, some of which were repeated emails. Useless.
I have the mercedes SD version and icarsoft II. The software is more then a nightmare to navigate and does not read all the codes. For few mercedes's is does not recognize the protocol and fails on a start up. A waste of money in my opinion
I bought the device because it says it simulates the gears and it doesn't! I contacted them by email reporting the problem they said they would fix it and nothing was resolved. I'm still waiting for their solution.
I run a Renault, Porsche and two Volvo's. It's done everything I have wanted so far, especially the Volvo's which you simply cannot maintain without this. Very happy with it. UK customer support are helpful as well.
It doesn't clear dpf fault code as it's supposed to do, totally piece of scrap and emailed to diagnostic world the seller and no reply, I should have looked for reviews about this scanner before but.
I bought an i900 from iCarSoft thinking it could access airbag system on my truck.
It couldn't.
I spoke to the vendor who said their newer model, the CR Pro, could definitely access the air bag system. It didn't.
They had me run a log function to record the attempt.
I sent it to them.
They sent me an update.
The update completely disabled the ODBII reader so it won't even work.
Now they aren't responding at all.
Save your money.
NEVER DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY!
On my icarsoft CR Plus I would like to install an update.
Heardly impossible. There are various websites where you are directed to but nothing is easy as it should be
I wish I had read a review rather than the marketing material before I purchased this scanner. It can not put the electronic brake into service mode as advertised. When I complained they had me reset the scanner which has now made it worthless. The service from the company is just as worthless as the machine. SAVE YOUR MONEY. THIS DOES NOT WORK ON A 2018 Jaguar XF. I have been exchanging emails with the tech department since Christmas (9 months now) with no real answers.
Bought to support a battery registration of a '17 Porsche Macan. I received assurances from iCarSoft prior to purchase that it was possible. Wrong! Only supports OEM replacement - not the aftermarket units available. I was sent a software update to correct this. Would not load from my Mac. Now the iCarSoft unit is DEAD.
TERRIBLE PRODUCT, TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. DO NOT BUY!
Didn't buy, the device did not meet my expectations, I returned it but did not receive a refund, now I had posted a bad review on their site and they just change it into a good one.
Bought CR Pro for SRS light. Doesn't work. Support non-existent. Vendor doesn't answer phone, support email worthless, told I'd have to "debug", email took 4 days to get a response, 3 more days to get a second response with NO information. My time is worth much more than the cost of the unit. If I wanted to "debug" a tool, I'd work for a diagnostics company. What I NEED is a diagnostic tool that works as advertised. ICarSoft is supported by 1 person and we'd all be dead before he'd figure out why his code doesn't work. Company registered in DC, but obviously a foreign company and technology. Complete waste of time and a defective toy.
Returned unit and bought Innova 5610. Worked perfectly out of the box, much better capabilities, vendor support, compatibility wizard on the Innova site and actually has documentation AND GOOD documentation.
The hardware seems solid but the firmware is severely lacking as a tool for LR DIYers... don't waste you money as I did. I even contacted them reporting missing info on the vehicles these units are designed for and now, no more responses to email or firmware improvements. You can't even get transmission temperature for my LR vehicle. Buy a Foxwell instead.
Bought this to trouble shoot Jeep ABS - at service screen - feature not supported - Icarsoft will not respond to email questions and will not answer the customer service phone number listed on the web site
I purchased the iCarsoft Pro thinking it would be better than a $20 OBD2 dongle with free app. ICarsoft could only read 27 items on ECM where my cheap $20 dongle could read +70 items. This was on a Toyota Land Cruiser 200. Total waste of money!
For the price you pay, the product seems to be reasonable - but from my current experience the local and international support you get from them are perhaps lacking when you have questions. Local reseller passes it on to someone overseas who responds and then goes quiet and the over seas contact does not even reflect an iCarsoft email address, which looks like a very disconnected channel for iCarsoft as a vendor. In My case the emailers were ": iCarsoft Sales" <*******@icarsoft.co.za> and "Lily.Bongch.co" <*******@bongchtech.com>
But I suspect you get what you pay for. At least the product provides free software updates and seems to be reading most of the errors with the MBII system. But then also I am told that now you need the MB V2 now, which is frustrating - why not just update the software instead of bringing out a new similar looking device
Read all other reviews and I agree with everything that address this product it is garbage does not work for Mercedes as it claimed to. No answer to phone call and updates are brogues.
Answer: I got the same response on my vol 11 check your connection, is your compatible, I have gone back to my sealy £40 scan which is far quicker & better. Good luck regards frank.
