    FYSA to all. One thing to bear in mind if you clear a code, and the failure was not fixed, it will typically still trip the fault code again. I've done this in the past to get an idea of the fault/fail rate on things like coil packs. They can misfire one time and not do it again for months or longer. If your funds are limited, it can sort of give you an idea of how soon you will need to finally fix the problem. O2 sensors are another one.

    Attention Important: The CR Pro can only operate vehicles that were built up to around 2016/2017. For all newer vehicles you need the CR Pro + (until around 2021/22). No lifetime free updates... There haven't been any updates for this for a long time. Only for the system, but not for the vehicle files. Unfortunately, I fell for it too. If you want a more sustainable OBD scanner, you'll probably have to go for Launch, Autel or something similar. A pity.

      I do not have an Autel however the reviews are very good. With that said the price tag is about 5 times higher, so I guess it comes down to your frequency of use, if you only have 1 or 2 cars and just want the occasional diagnostic then use the icarsoft, if you change cars more often then spend a bit It more and go for the Autel, which is what I intend to do!

    Hi , Great video, thank you for making and sharing it. I need one of these devices for my Mercedes and I was wondering if you may possibly know if you can use the device to enable certain car specific functionality that should be on the car as standard. For example, I have flood lights on the door mirrors that do not currently work. Also, the windows should be able to be closed via the key fob. I an currently doing some research and will be making a purchase soon.
    Kind regards Paul from 48SPOKES. Bye the way, well done on your subscriptions. I am currently struggling to get to 500 ......hay ho, staying focused here.

    • @GrooveOn
      @GrooveOn  11 місяців тому +1

      Hi there, 48SPOKES, thanks for the kind words! In regards to enabling items such as the door lights, I don't recall there being an option on the car dash menu to turn off / on and like wise the iCarsoft I do not believe has an option. You can check a lot of details on the icarsoft such as the keyless go features and ABS , Steering, emissions etc etc, However if you want to get more of a two way set up perhaps look for the icarsoft CR Max. I am thinking of getting an Autel Maxicom 808 that can program keys !
      As for the channel growth, it takes time and effort, but if you like what you do then go for it. I found that I had posted 9+ years ago just to help explain things on car forums and over time those videos without me knowing gained a lot of views, then about 2 years I got more serious and started to look to getting the 1000 subscribers and make a channel with the goal to help people and save them money! I have not got intsagram but think I need to branch out. I'll have a look at your channel, try a few different video subjects then focus on what is most popular! This info is provided in detail with UA-cam Studio and the analytics that you get to evaluate.
      Good Luck !

      @@GrooveOn Thank you for a great reply 👍 I have just bought an iCarsoft CR PRO Plus which has all the functionality of the CR Max but without the touch screen. Like you said it can't configure MB coded car functions but at least I can maintain the car better with the code reader.
      I have been running my channel for about 2 years now and while I enjoy what I do (including the video editing) I am a little disappointed in the rate of growth of the channel. It is very bespoke to a small portion of the population so, to coin a phrase "it is what it is" 🤷‍♂️
      Having said that, I have one video that is outstanding in its performance and that was totally unexpected. So, like you suggested I maybe should try more like that. The trouble is that the core channel content is different from the high performance video. Ha haa, such is the way of things.

      hi 48SPOKES
      I've just watched your video on Rotoflex hub, great stuff, you sound just like the actor Sean Bean! genuine, honest delivery which I think works well.
      I thought I would give some feedback if thats okay, I am no expert, but I have discovered from the analytics that I get through UA-cam studio what helps me and what does not. This information is on how people skip through the video, the demographic, what points on the video people watched the most amongst much more.
      Firstly you have a good niche with classic cars, which you will find your audience will be of a certain age and from certain countries, mainly UK / USA I would think. I like the use of music and speeded up video and the 'music bed' on the 'dull' bits as it keeps peoples interest and you have good camera set up angle too, remember to avoid looking at yourself in the screen, always look right down the 'barrel of the lens' not the screen as your people will notice your eye's. Your popular video's are around powder coating, welding, remember that even though you and I know about whats involved, many people do not and definitely do not have the equipment at home, so you could look at doing some advice videos as this subject as they had a lot of views on your channel!
      Heres what I would change:
      Try and avoid needing to explain what your video is about, remember that people will know from being able to search and find the video in the first place, as well as your description. Try and go straight in with whats known as 'teaser' shots to entice your audience, short 1-2 sec cuts telling the story but not in full!.
      This is a Range Rover video I did: ua-cam.com/video/piNizgBfVgw/v-deo.html
      Keep the intro graphic really short as this can put people off, its all about retaining the audience to watch you video by keeping things moving. Move your camera to different positions, then edit together to give impression of multiple cameras, try adding some 'B-Roll' over the top of talking. Use slow dynamic zoom to move slowly closer to the subject matter for good effect etc. Keep going it takes effort, and try and get people to add comments so you can get a conversation going.
      Keep it up you'll get there.!

      I do have the same tool. You cannot change them once you downloaded them. Their server remembers which car type has been installed under your serial number. So with this device you have to pay attention, and only download what you really need. I do have 3 different cars in the family, so i downloaded only those 3, i have 7 left in case i buy a car in the future from again different manufacturer. If you would be able to change the cars any time, than basically you would own the CR Pro version with unlimited cars, but iCarsoft doesn't want that of course, since CR Pro is more expensive.

    • @edvanhalen9056
      @edvanhalen9056 Рік тому

      I bought the CR Pro & got lucky reading somewhere online prior to receiving it that when you do your initial setup connected to a PC & software/firmware updates, you have only that ONE opportunity to decide all the vehicle brands you want to add to the device. As a result, I downloaded every brand that was available, since the memory requirements (even with 3 languages selected for ALL), did not cause any capacity issues. I hope iCarSoft updates this capability (they should put a big warning sticker on the display, so users are aware, imho), because it would be very disappointing to learn after downloading only 1,2, or 3 brands to the device, that you were locked out from adding any more. Booo.

      Download the tool as my video shows. You'll then be given a list of vehicle manufacturers that you can add to the device.

      Please note, once selected and downloaded, the software package will be assigned to the tool and cannot be changed.

      There is no time limit to making your selections, you can do this one by one or all 10 at once - the choice is yours.

      Hi there, I take it you have a fault on your dashboard for the EPS. Firstly do you know why this appeared, i.e. did you jumpstart the car, or have you disconnected the battery? The fault should auto reset after a few starts. I have not personally used the icarsoft on your BMW for this fault so cannot say for sure if it will clear but would think that as the icarsoft can calculate the SAS steering angle sensor there is a good chance it will help you. Sorry I cannot be more definite, as you can imagine there a thousands of faults with cars that can happen. I would recommend contacting icarsoft.com and perhaps ask direct ? Good luck!
