Review of iCarsoft CR PRO - Finally they nailed it!

[@chuliovernon2093]

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.

[@autofokusDanmark]

Thanks for your comment, very important. I have used the CR Pro many times on my 2018 Toyota Auris Hybrid many times, just for info. /Simon🙂

[@neildean7515]

An excellent review. Thanks for a clear video recording of the screen(most miss this) and thank you for the descriptions(both positive and negative)… thank you very much

[@autofokusDanmark]

Thanks a lot for your comment! I really means a lot to me, that my work is appriciated. Take care😊. / Simon

I bought this for my Mercedes 2010 c-class W204 with om651 engine. It helped me to find out that I needed to replace the ABS sensor-rings on first the right aft wheel, then on the left. It also helped me to find that I needed to replace the DPF differential pressure sensor. But it failed me when I needed to replace the automatic transmission fluid. You need to know the temperature of the oil then. But unfortunately there is NO LIVE DATA from the Transmission Control Unit!!!!!! Can you imagine how disappointed I was???

[@autofokusDanmark]

@@wikeroy the live data stream is determined by the manufacturer, so I don’t think another scan tool will help you. /Simon

[@wikeroy]

@@autofokusDanmark But, this is the 722.6 transmission, used on many mercedes-models, and I have seen others reading e.g. the oil-temperature. And the two rpm sensors. And wanted and actual gear-setting.... I did manage to read the temp by using a temperature-gun, however. Pointing it at the bottom pan. I think its a bug. Many of the other controllers have live data.

[@autofokusDanmark]

@@wikeroy strange I must admit. Thanks for telling your story👍☺️

[@wikeroy]

@@autofokusDanmark In this video they use a iCarsoft i980 to read the temp of a 722.6 transmission. I have the 722.6 transmission too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpaac6draNdnr80 So, in my opinion it is either a bug, or they left it out on purpose.....

[@wikeroy]

@@autofokusDanmark Here is a video were they use the iCarSoft 980 in order to read the temperature of a 722.6 transmission. I have the 722.6 transmission too, in our year 2010 Mercedes C-class w204. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpaac6draNdnr80 Strange isnt it, that the i980 can read everything from the TCM of that 722.6

[@neildean7515]

One thing that i would like to see added to these Scan Tools is a second column showing Normal parameters ie .5volts (Nomal between .1 and 2 Volts for example. This would be a significant help to Diyer… thanks again for the review… free updates, thats great

[@autofokusDanmark]

I could not agree more with you!

[@Retrolivemusic]

Thanks for yours video ,helping me a lot, i want to check dpf on my ford focus 2010 1,6 diesel but not show me a ford brench on my cr pro when i chose dpf menu ,do you know for what?

[@autofokusDanmark]

[@flatcap916]

Enjoyed watching your video I've updated my CR pro to the latest software but do not get the auto vin or quick test options have you any suggestions an hour could have choose this

[@autofokusDanmark]

Actually I do not friend! I had hoped doing an update would do it. Try writing iCarsoft, they are very helpfull.

[@brummiesteve590]

Hi, CR Pro does not pick up vin on my 2000 Frontera, it`s the car not the unit.

[@autofokusDanmark]

@@brummiesteve590 Your car is too old for the VIN functionality.

[@kevinbufton2959]

Can you do a video on reset Addblue faults on JLR or any other make and model car . That would be a fantastic video

[@autofokusDanmark]

If I get the chance, yes I will👌😀

[@noelsstephan958]

Hi, I have update 23.02 on the CR Pro. and I don't see any car vin number detection? is this video fake?

It depends on the age of your car

Icarsoft cr plus can scan a motorcycle?

[@autofokusDanmark]

@@joshuaty1120 I do not think so

[@musiceditor7083]

Does this tool allow you to check the battery health & the condition of the alternator/ starter motor?? Great vid by the way! 👍🏼

[@autofokusDanmark]

Thanks for your comment. No, it does not. It can’t put any load on the battery. It is only a scan tool. /Simon

Hi can you calibrate and program sensor and adblue tank

Hi there. Now, as a recall I don’t think the CR Pro can do that.

[@jancornelessen7276]

The sound is crap on the video

[@PhilTheProf]

If only his voice was as loud as the music intro. Gave up after 10 seconds.

I know! Something went wrong with the microphone on that video.
