Really good review. Experiences and tips along the way.
This man knows what he is talking about and you will learn a lot from him.
Thanks for the kind words
Brilliant. I have one of these but was not aware that I could download more vehicle models free of charge. I only have the one car but it will be useful when I come to change it.
The way you are demonstrating it's really excellent
Thank you, this was one of my earlier videos, I have many more that I think I do a better job explaining !, here is one on my Range Rover. ua-cam.com/video/IzleIJFabEU/v-deo.html
Thanks for the top tip! I was hoping this would be the case 👌
THAAAANK YOUUUU! You are a saint and if you're not a professional educator already, you should be!
Thanks so much
You just save me a lot of money!! Thumbed and subbed! Passing your vid on to as many people as I can!
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.
Good advice
Thank you for sharing.
Good info. I was having problem navigating around on it. thanks
Many thanks.... brilliant video and tip. 👍👍👍👍👍
Great video, thanks.
Hello, I had just checked out another review before watching yours. You win! I don’t think you could of done any better with a script. Your knowledge and confidence in describing and showing all its capabilities was truly brilliant. So a distant hand shake and thank you sir.

Thank you so much for the tip
Welcome
Very informative! Will use this device for my 2004 Mercedes R230 SL 350, especially SBC system. Thank you,,,,
Hey thanks, I have just filmed another vid you will like I am uploading today on my SL, so if you subscribe up it should show up for you.
Awesome, i thought there must be another way of adding extra brands 👍 and was searching all over for this 👍👍
My pleasure 😊. thanks for the kind words !
Bought this after seeing your videos. Yet to update for the Ford I need it for, but what a piece of kit!!! Even just the standard obd2 read option is comprehensive. Thanks for informing the masses. Keep it up.
Fantastic, so useful isn't it! You will find there are some menus on different cars that are really in-depth, try viewing data options
@@GrooveOn yeah a great tool all round. Although I’ve just tried to update it for more cars but it’s the LR V2.0 and won’t update to add more brands. Just seems to be Land Rover n Jaguar??
@@GrooveOn do you know if it’s possible to get more cars on the LR v2.0? If so any help would be appreciated.
Don't see the ford option on the download list? Where did you download it from please?
Very informative thank you
no problems, let me know if you need further info
@@GrooveOn doesnt thr 1+4 version givd you a total of 5 different makes. Howcome you have all makes speciality diagnostic software loaded?
Good video mate. You are spot on..
It is the best
Used for my all mercers, the Jag, and the Insignia VXR it saved me thousands all ready.
It can go so deep in all.the modules acuation test especially the new V3.0
Never visting workshops for diagnose.they cant be trusted say what you will its a fact.
Thanks
Appreciate the comment mate, let me know if you want any further advise, good luck!
Geat man thank u
Glad I could help!
Hi
Best tutorial I have found so far. One suggestion only, make sure that the text on the device can be read on the video.
One question; if I clear a fault without attending to the hardware, will the fault simply come back again? Does that confirm that the module in question is indeed faulty?
thanks for the great feedback, I may do another video !
Looking to purchase one but wanted to see if it can check faults on high pressure fuel pump or sensors.
Does this model give ATF temperature?
I got the exact same version but its not key me download other makes diagnostic software. How do you load it on the memory card please?
Hi, this is a great review and I believe you were going to do another instructional video on how to upload more vehicles to a unit, are you still gong to this as I would like to see this demonstrated please.
When you go to the ICARSOFT site and select software and updates, they typically tell you how to upload new software and firmware updates.
hi groove on,I got 2014 merc a class,can i use this toll for dpf regeneration and check the level of th ash in dpf? thanks
I recently bought the MB II, and am happy with the unit. However, when trying to register and look for any available upgrades I found the icarsoft sight seems to have gone dark. Do you know why?
Thanks for the tips. Still trying to figure out what V2 to get so as to make it multicar but where there's a will......
If I was buying again, I would perhaps go for the model that does all cars. Otherwise you can buy the version that allows you to add 10 cars
P.s. I've just created another icarsoft lesson video on a Range Rover, you can see how many codes I managed to clear! ua-cam.com/video/gnt1KLUwnjk/v-deo.html
Sorry, I missed the secret tip... Was it "download up to ten manufacturers" icarsoft say you can download?
I have one for my Range Rover and wish it had a an air suspension calibration option.
🎉
I would like to know how to do it.
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.
hi you gave a link for adding other cars but didn't tell us how to add them! i can see how to update but don't know how to add a new make. please help
does it software read 2016 w205 C300?
Scan tool network did not tell us this information.
Hello, many thanks for the great video, can it do Km/mileage adjustment?
Thanks for the kind words. No I don't believe it can do mileage correction.
But you are not able to add other vehicles to this unit from the icarsoft update, it just updates what you already have ???
Do you know if this particular unit will interrogate and reset codes on the TCM (transmission control module) for the 7-speed auto W211 E-Class? Thank you for this excellent review and tutorial!
Hi there, yes, you select the diagnostic menu and find TCU, then check codes and clear, good luck
@@GrooveOn thank you, really appreciate. Is the unit I need to buy the iCarsoft MB 2.0 version, for my W211 E350 2005? Need to access SBC and TCM faults.
Hi would you be able to do a more detailed vidio on adding more cars on to the unit
Hi there, I have done another video showing the software, and adding cars. See if that helps
Hi is it possible to check for engine compression for each cylinder with this ?
I'll check for you, but I don't believe so

Hi GrooveOn, great helpful video.I have a Mercedes 2008 R320 and have been looking at one of these for a while now, as i have an issue with the ABS/ESP and cruise control function lights come on when i go over 65mph and stay on. but stopping the car and switching it off then clears the problem. I'm assuming this devise will help find the issue.
Are you tyre sizes the same for front and back, as this can cause an issue
Also the cruise is linked to your abs and traction i think, so if one item is at fault it will cause the others to go into fault. The icarsoft should tell you if an abs sensor is faulty. Good luck.!
@@GrooveOn yes all the same size and make, and all brand new.
Hi great video, will this show faulty turbos ect?
Or just bring up low boost code ?
That's a good question, I don't know for certain, but would suspect it will just show the codes
Thanks for sharing unfortunately I can't find the mecerdes car among the other cars listed,any help on how to ?
hi there it depends on the type of iCarsoft model, some allow you to add more cars, have you look ad this video I did that explain how to check. ua-cam.com/video/XtEW7cn4TbU/v-deo.html
I have another model and all it does is say cannot connect or read anything. On a newish sprinter and has not been any use to me. It has not got the F1 F2 buttons but otherwise looks the same, I bought it with the MB software installed.
Hello, can i reprogram the vacuum pump (PSE) for my chasis type with this scanner? or need the STAR? Thanks
Unfortunately not, as you correctly said you need STAR
Hey love you’re videos I have an l322 and am looking at buying the v2.0 just quick question , is it ready to use from minute one or do you need computer/laptop access to set it up if you will
Ready to use from opening the box. If you have a look on my store page there are links there
HI grooveOn!
i like to swap my brakes and pads on the back of my car. i have a electronic parking brake. can i use this tool for service brake replacement on a audi A4 2013?
THANKS!
Yes, I believe you can
Hi, great information. Can this scanner tell if the car has the correct mileage. Thank you
unfortunately not
I have been attempting to down load other vehicles to my icarsoft v2 unit and there is no way I can achieve this ?????
Hey Buddy you are doing excellent job, please what's the difference between the mb v2 and v3 icarsoft?
Hi there and thanks! The differences between version 2 to version 3 is the level of functionality such as airbag crash data reset and many other items. The difference between the two versions in terms of price is minimal I would definitely get the version 3
@@GrooveOn so I can go for the v3 for my mb workshop use
Can I ask for an honest answer please……can you tell me which scan tool is better this one or the Autel MK808.
I know it’s more expensive but is it better .
Great video by the way.
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!
Where did you find all the different brand files though to move onto the sd card?
This video should help you. ua-cam.com/video/XtEW7cn4TbU/v-deo.html
Hi, Can you update scanner while connected to the computer without removing disk from the scanner?
Hi, yes you plug in the scanner with the card inserted in the scanner to update.
@@GrooveOn Thank you!
The ONLY brands i have introduced are land rover,and jaguar.I need to introduce other brands like toyota, Hyundai Suzuki etc.
Hi. I have the iCarsoft MB V2.0. Can I add additional vehicles such as GM using your secret tip procedure or is this model for Mercedes only?
If you bought with only one make, then you could try and see, usually you need to choose the multi car version through.
I have a discovery Will this tool turn off my mobiliser
does it work for suspension calibration?
Hi there, good question, I do not have the ABC suspension on my car to test, otherwise i would check for you. I know that many of the functions have live data and there are service functions too. Sorry I could not help further
Does this do the suspension calibration?
Hi Mate, its a good questions I don't believe it does, it will tell you the live data, but I do not have ABC suspension unfortunately to test. I would look at the icarsft pro perhaps.
Hi GrooveOn, I have a Smart Fortwo 450 2006 with a transmission that needs a reset/relearn. Can this scantool do it?
Cheers.
Hi There, for that one I am not certain, try contacting icarsoft directly mate.
@@GrooveOn Cheers for the reply. :)) You are one of few UA-camrs that regualry reply to questions - that is what puts you ahead of the rest!
dear sir: i bought v2.0, when i start to diaganose through manual msg on computer if LINK ERROR PLS CHECK 1. IF THE VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRICAL CONTROL MODULE (2) IF THE CABLE IS CONNECTED CORRECTLY (3) IF THE KEY IS IGNIGION ON, WHAT TO DO????
the icarsoft will light up and beep once connected, you turn the ignition to the on position but do not need to start car.
@GrooveOn does this give live data on the dpf soot content for a 2015 w205?
There is a lot of live data that can be seen, if only I had a W205 I would check for you, sorry.
Ok no worries I’ve just purchased v3.0@@GrooveOn
Hi! If i have Icarsoft Mb v2.0, can i update software there that includes bmw ? Or is it only mercedes ?
The mb V2 is for Mercedes Benz. You'll need the BMW version of icarsoft and it will do the same. Or get the version that allows up to 10 cars!
Hi, I have a iCarsoft MB 11, I am a complete novice and would like to know, from opening this device from NEW to actually turning it ON (setting up), to then registering the device with iCarsoft and then updating with the latest updates etc,,,,then how to actually operate it and translate the information displayed etc
I have Mercedes Benz M Class 270 cdi Automatic 2002 model (W163)

Hi there, this is a video that I have been wanting to do for ages, I will have to buy a new one to show you the set up, if you subscribe, you'll be the first to know when I do it, !
I just ordered one, ( I haven't received it yet) I know notice that I didn't see the Chrysler brand on the computer, is it on there? I'm just wondering.
Hi there did you get the version that you can choose 10 different models? If so then you will be able to choose Chrysler mate
Can I transfer odometer milage to a new cluster?
No, this is not possible
Good morning, I wonder if you could gelo me.I have a diagnóstico machine for the Cars which brand is icarsoft ,i could up date the machine through watching your video and nos I need to introduce new brands in the machine
Hi there
If your icarsoft is version allows then you can update the other brands when you use the pc as per my video, by selecting what brands you would like. However if you have bought an icarsoft that is for one car brand, then it's not possible. Hope this explains.
Any chance you might show how to update icarsoft to use on other cars 🤔😳🥴l think most folk are like me , all the gear no idea...
This tutorial is excellent very well explained and informative... are you a teacher by any chance lol 😆
I will do another video on this.
yes that would be good
i tried but can't see how
did you ever make this video?@@GrooveOn
@@cnatspell1 the video I did is here, its about 4 mins in.ua-cam.com/video/XtEW7cn4TbU/v-deo.html
not all icarsofts allow multiple downloads, you may have the single version mate.
Thanks for the top tip, but how do you do it ????
Hi there, here is my install video. ua-cam.com/video/XtEW7cn4TbU/v-deo.html
If i have the landrover jaguar v2 model is it still possible to add more manufacturers to the device?
If you bought just the JLR then I would think not, but you could try and download software on pc, (see my video) and test if it upgrades?
@@GrooveOn do you have the link to the video please thankyou verry much
My MB II only read upto W204
Ha! If you are working on the SBC (brakes) without disabling the SBC module, you may not get a fault, but you may crush a finger. The SBC needs to be disabled before any brake pad or caliper work.
Absolutely , I changed the page once and forgot to disengaged SBC, I had to get my car ECU software updated
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.
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.
Kind regards Paul
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.!
@@GrooveOn Thank you that is great feedback. I am shooting the video on my phone camera which is why I am not looking down the lens. I did buy a DSLR for filming but have got out of the habit due to the dirt and dust in the workshop. Maybe I should try using my action camera. I will try and take on your very well made points. Thank you .
@@itsalldoable Keep it simple at this stage, I use a gopro which is good for action stuff and distance, not so good up close. I also still use my phone as its great for detail !. I know what you mean about seeing yourself in the screen, try and ignore the screen and look at the little camera lens instead
Does this work on mercedes vans and srs light
I'll check mate
Thanks
Hi can you change which cars or put them on later in case you need to put it on a different car later?
That's what I am trying to figure out too ! Bought it for a Land Rover but now I need to use it on a VW
@@johnewallace ok let me know how you go. I bought icarsoft cr pro and it doesn't seem to support suzuki which i bought it for. It such a headache trying to work these things out.
Hi, no once you've added the cars unfortunately you cannot change them, just update the version of software
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.
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.
I have a icarsoft cr v2.0 i buy this scanner with the purpose to programm injector trim code in my toyota hilux 2011 made in argentina, engine 2KD-FTV.

Thank you I hope you can help me.
Hi There, I am afraid that I do not know the software coding for Toyota. have you tried using the car forums?
I have icarsoft v2 for MB, cant see an option to download other vehicles in the update software.
Can someone explain how to add additional vehicles.
Hi there, if you have the CRV2.0 you should be able to download up to 10 makes, however it depends on what you bought.
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.
Ok thanks, mine is specifically for Mercede MB V.2
Can I code injectors with this?
Hi there, if you go into the service menu, then there is an injector option there yes. I will probably do a quick video soon.
Will this delete permanent codes of bmw or ?
Yes, as with any car, as long as the fault is fixed, then you can clear the code.
hello. i tried to download more cars into my v2.0, unfortunately no matter what package i download, it only offers me update for my cars ( citroen peugeot in my case ) . would you be willing to provide more details what you did exactly to download more cards ?
Hi there, if you cannot download further models, I'm afraid the version you have is only for the French cars you have and not multicar. I think icarsoft should advertise better so we know before we buy.
@@GrooveOn thank you - i thought so but after seeing this video, i wasnt quite sure :)
hello, when you read the fault code
and you have STATE:historic is it a permanent ? or not ?
or STATE: actual is it that one permanent ? or not ?
Manny thanks !
Historic faults are not always permanent, clear and see if they return.
@@GrooveOn yes , they return after 10 kms, and I'm on safe mode
@@greencard93 so if they return you have a hardware issue and will need to replace parts
I probably should expand on my previous comment. I did install the update software, but when I tried to enter the unit serial number it was not recognized. Tried to call the support number and it is no longer valid. At this point Amazon customer service is chasing the problem. They will call me tomorrow.
Hi there, have a look at my other video for the software updates. ua-cam.com/video/XtEW7cn4TbU/v-deo.html
If you go to 2mins 45secs, I talk about the serial number that may help you.

Thanks
Unfortunately, once you've installed you cannot change them I don't think. I tried to do this myself. Have you tried calling icarsoft?
@@GrooveOn Would that mean whipping the memory

I have the CR Pro. However when I do a smart scan it does the full test of all the systems but seems not to highlight if any of the systems have a fault.
My previous scanner, an Autel, would scan and if anything failed it would highlight in red. The Icarsoft does not and I know I have 2 faults.
Have I missed something?
Hi. The full smart scan actually doesn't provide a list of individual faults, but just searches for systems that the icarsoft can access. You need to go into each one to test for faults my friend. If you just run the obd scan from main page, this will give list of any faults

How can I help you my friend?
I bet you would find fault codes regularly on a mercedes 😜😬😂
Always,!😎
Icarsoft is garbage. It claims it can reset oil maintenance and it doesn’t. I do oil maintenance on my Macan 2017 myself and bought this tool for exact reason - reset maintenance. Worked with support for over 6 months, they sent numerous updates, still no luck. Also you can’t register new tpms sensors.
I think if you are lucky enough to have a new Porsche, it would be advisable to pay for the dedicated Porsche diagnostic mate. I find icarsoft is a good general level device.
O have one of these they are 100%shit wont reprogramme injectors
Wish I could be as excited as yourself about this product. I have two 1998 X-308 LWB Jags (4.0L) and a 2003 R/Rover. It has very limited capability with the R/Rover and absolutely ZERO with the Jags, "Comms Error" and nothing else, yet there is no issue when the million dollar genuine Jaguar factory diagnostic unit is connected. Something seriously wrong with the iCarSoft product... Absolute wate of money!! 0 / 10! Do NOT Waste your Money!!
Wow, I am surprised when I use my icarsoft on my range rover l320 and l332 sport I have a tonne of features! Are you sure you have a genuine unit? Here's a video on my Range Rover ..ua-cam.com/video/gnt1KLUwnjk/v-deo.html
@alastairmurry
Yours sounds like it needs an update? Or you bought it from eBay? Poss fake? Mine is brilliant 👌
I have the LR v3.0 and would NOT recommend it.
I bought the LR V3 for my 2007 Jag but it hardly works. I'm going to give them another week then it's going back if they don't fix it.
@@gepwxaqdfsidsesg1548 I've already sent mine back. Lol. I got a snap on ethos edge on craigslist for 450, way happier.
Software version 31.00 has arrived and it's a lot better. On my 2.7 XJ it now connects to 16 different modules and I no longer get lots of dash warnings when I use it
Useless piece of junk! I have two Jaguars and an L322 R/Rover and it can read battery voltage and that's about it! Don't waste your money!!
I can confirm that it can read a lot of modules on Jaguars, i have seen this device reading a Jaguar, read the modules and also did throttle body alignment. Don't blame them, not their fault if you are too dumb to use it...
PLEASE, go into setting when you do these videos and turn off the beeping noise.
Hi Fri can this tool do EPS power steering start up and do reprogramming EPS power steering in BMW f45/218i ,Pls tell me detail and information , Pls help and can I have yr WhatsApp number? Pls help me
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!
