Just a tip. Because an item is new does not mean it comes with the latest firmware/software. It can be the case that this unit has been on a shelf for a lot of months since manufacturing. Maby you had already checked. I do not know, but its always good to check before use. Apart from that. Good video with much information. Keep it up!
Agreed. My iCarsoft V3.0 was two updates old out of the box. Updating was simple and fast though but don't disconnect it until the unit itself says the update has been fully loaded. Great video
Thanks mate, it genuinely is a great scan tool. Being multi vehicle is just fantastic, this week I will have a video out where I helped out a friend with a Ford Ranger Ute. I simply couldn’t have diagnosed and fixed the car without this scan tool of mine! Cheers Drew
Hi Derek, thanks for sharing! I’m literally blown away by how good this iCarsoft scanner is, it would be interesting to do a side by side comparison to the 5000 dollar Autel to see how much better it is for 10 times the price!! Cheers Drew
@@peetkotze3390 nice little bit of family history! Whilst not the same model I have over 70 Mercedes videos in this playlist that might interest you: th-cam.com/play/PLor5qdyoV_nRcb5hDS-z6z1wUHNednb2h.html Cheers Drew
Interesting TY. Would you go for the pro if you only had an Audi considering the limitations you found of the device on Audi? Or have you used other scan tools that play better with Audi? Mines a 2009 Audi A3 1.9tdi. I could have used a scan tool last week after having the ABS pump and module go at 89,000 miles Also I need to confirm what I suspect might be an ecu/ cluster fault. I always want to know the littlest issue that's not on my radar. Maybe it can have a knock-on effect to other issues otherwise?!
Hi Mate, excellent question! What was interesting is that whilst it was annoying having to select the Model in the year range I do not recall having to remember the engine code for the AUDI with the CR PRO, however having said that my gut feeling tells me that iCarsoft could fix the issue in a software release with some VIN lookup code. I think if you couple this thought with the fact that the CR PRO+ has so many additional maintenance functions potentially available then I would definitely go for the CR PRO+. I hope this helps? Cheers Drew
Hey, I just got mine the other day and it worked fine on my Volvo until I decided to update the software... what a mistake that was... Would you be able to send me the files on your SD card for the software? I need the working version of it as mine after the update is dead , it won't even turn on when connected to the car. I believe the files in System folder are corrupted after the update, so at least I need the whole folder from a working device. Thanks, Daniel
Hi Mate, besides being more expensive for me CR Max is bulkier (as I explained in the video), has a internal battery which will die eventually and actually offers no more functionality over the CR Pro+ thus for me CR Pro+ is the clear winner! But each to themselves :) Cheers Drew

Hi Simon, you are correct yes I should’ve checked the firmware. Shall I make another video to show how to do this? Cheers Drew
@@DrewFixIt yes Drew please make that video and how to relearn sensors.

Its a audi / vw thing we use a R100k or about 5000 dollar autel and it always gives a few different models to choose from

Will it also relearn a crankshaft position sensor? Thanks
Yes mate!
@@peetkotze3390 no problems, welcome to the channel! Out of interest, what make and model of car do you have? Cheers Drew

just buy the cr max, drives under android, little more expensive ,but fas easier to use

If you own a BMW and thinking of doing a forced regen find out first, it will not do it on many
Kia s either but does everything else!
