Diagnostic Scanner iCarsoft MB V2.0 Compatible for Mercedes-Benz/Sprinter/Smart, ABS SRS Oil BLD INJ

Purchased the MB v2.0 to troubleshoot intermittent electrical and battery drain issues w/ my ML350. The device quickly pointed to a corroded rear SAM module. Successfully repaired the device and saved tons of $$$. I’ll be testing the SERVICE features soon on my GL550. Pros: 1. Quickly reads all Benz CAN relays, modules & sensors. Also identifies part number & install date. 2. Price & Value vs other devices 3. Real time performance monitoring w snapshots 4. Labels faults as Historic or Current. Good for troubleshooting intermittent issues. Cons: 1. Doesn’t report a list of faults only and/or categorize issues by severity 2. Cant reset engine or transmission adaptations. No 2way component testing. 3. No touchscreen 4. Poor documentation - feature coverage & use Conclusion: I recommend this code reader for troubleshooting, vehicle inspection and maintenance. It’s provides competitive features and will cover most DIY or small shop needs. 2nd choice was the Foxwell 530 which offers very similar features but adds light programming & test capabilities for a higher price. My 3rd choice was the Autel Maxi.

Works great with my 08 S550

Best in the market even when compared to competitions that are 2x to 3x its price. Complete compatibility with my car GL450. Reads even the hidden codes buried deep in the benz computer. A friend told me (google) there are only a few that can outperform this device and they are all in the multiple fold price of this device. Today, I'm leaving this feedback because it just paid for itself in one use by multiple folds. My car wouldn't respond at all to my smart-key other than the unlock/lock. I'm a shade-tree-wannabe mechanic with my friends (google & youtube) as my consultants. None were able to point me in the correct direction. Except this device. It said EIS low voltage. Sure enough, my battery and accessory battery were both 12.1v only. My initial reaction were it couldn't be correct because 12.1v in my limited experience is still a workable voltage. Then my friend (google) said NOPE, not with this car. Battery change shot up my voltage up to 12.66v. Fixed the problem immediately. BTW, the dealership gave me this quote: $200 diagnostic $300 additional key to rule out key problem $150 to tow my car with special tow truck because car isn't shiftable to neutral therefore can't be towed by "regular" guys. $1500 for the EIS part because they are sure it's the EIS because it's a "common" problem with this model $800 for the labor $$$ tax 4-7 days turn around time. ------------ Sums up to: an Arm and a Leg. Which is equivalent to $XM. Compared my cost with this device: $180 Battery replacement $20 Accessory battery replacement $Tax 3 hours total troubleshooting time and installation. This device's cost is not added to this instance because it'll be used for unlimited number of times. If I get to use this 150 times, then per usage cost is $1 only which is negligible, hence not added to the cost.

Easy to use and quick on my 1994 mercedes c280 w202 in both the obd2 port and 38 pin. Only caveat when they say you have to buy their 38 pin adapter for 50$ they mean it cheaper black ones don't work for full system only engine diagnostic same for obd2 on those models. Otherwise allowed me to reset the srs light hut only after that additional purchase.

G500,2002: for the price I figured if it can 1) read atf fluid levels and temperature 2) reset Air conditioner. Then it would be worth the money because that's how much it cost to diagnose this car. The company promises it can do all that and then suml. The reality is 1) it will read atf temperature but can not read atf fluid levels "which makes it so complicated to figure out even if you have atf dipstick". 2) will not reset Air conditioner, so don't believe them if they say they are not sure or "it should read it". Other than that it is just a regular obd reader. It can read and give a lot of pointless values ,which may make it seems fancy or useful to some but in reality it's just another obdii with an extra semi useful feature or two. If you want to fix your own complex mercede issues you really need a star system or something equivalent. Update: July 31st 2020: Actually this device is great. The problem was from my side. This device identified an issue I had with a speed sensor B49. I am amazed how it was able to pinpoint the issue. I changed the sensor and problem was solved. This is a $1200 job, buying this saved me over $1000!!!. And the transmission oul issue was spot on with this machine ,it showed me the transmission oil temperature and the dip stick showed the levels. I highly recommend this tool It is a must for any mercedes owner. It will not do adaptation or delete historical errors. But for most problems this should be enough. If you have a major problem you need the star system.

On older MB (the era between 32 pin and 16 pin, like mine - 98 SLK 230 - chassis R170.447) this would only read the engine ecm, despite what the literature and website says. I contacted iCarsoft by email and they responded within 24 hours. They confirmed it doesn't work well on the pre R170.449 chassis, and advised they are working on an adaptor cabel from 39 pin to 16 pin. Said it should be ready by end of January 2019. I passed. Thanks to Amazon's great return policy, I was able to send it back. The Autel unit is much more expensive, but works on ANYTHING and is a whole other level for price and performance.

Highly recommended. Works perfect manual explains setup and all the functions and was very easy to use. High quality code reader like the shops use. Used it for Benz ML350 and had pretty much all of the codes. Some are manufacture specific that don’t show up but everything else was perfect. Took the my vehicle to a repair shop for a diagnose after and they had the same codes and code reader. Great product for the price really breaks down the codes. Was specifically looking for speed sensor codes and was able to actually finally diagnose which specific tire speed sensor was failing not the generic code so was super helpful cause the speed sensors are expensive. If this is your issue I highly recommend it. Else still an awesome code easy to use and very helpful and detailed code reader

Das iCarsoft kann wirklich sehr viel auslesen und löschen im Gegensatz zu anderen ODB Testern dieser Klasse. Ich verwende es am SL und am W213 und konnte schon einige kostspielige Diagnosen und Reparaturen damit erledigen. Ich würde es wieder kaufen.

Acabaram-se as dúvidas com a luz de motor amarelas que acendia e apagava. Agora sei quanto terei de investir para pôr a minha viatura como nova, se precisar de reparação já sei onde é e naquele exacto momento. É uma ferramenta essencial apenas como manutenção preventiva. Permite diagnóstico erros ou alertas do sistema eletrónico. Auxilia na assistência do meu mecânico. Permite a monitorização de vários parâmetros mesmo com a viatura ligada. Não permite edição de programação binária (o que é mais seguro assim para não inventar demais) Não tem manual nem software em Português.

This scanner did the job of reading and clearing all codes on my Mercedes when cheaper scanners couldn't. A necessary tool if you're doing work yourself. For old cars with a round OBDII connector you will need the iCarSopft adaptor as other brand adaptors don't work.
