    Attention Important: I have an icarsoft CR Pro. 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.

    So far for me the Autel does one thing the CRMaxdoes not. When doing an auto/smart scan the Autel highlights which modules have faults whereas the CR Max you have to go through each module to find the faults which can be very time consuming

    Don't waste your money on the cr max I bought it from this link of the video the customer service is terrible and I've had non stop problems with it since day 1 and they won't replace it even though its faulty, wish I went with autel now, the cr max after the update will not let me read any car at all so save your money!

    Look, the Scan Tool Network is an advertizing venue and nothing more. You cannot evaluate a scanner in a matter of minutes. That is as useless as most videos doing an unboxing. What is needed is a SCANNER FORUM where various brands would have folders and people can share ideas and tips using it on the cars they own.

    Don't get the iCarsoft! I've got the Cr Max and it can't do numerous required things like DPF regens on Subarus, oil level resets on Mitsubishis and code resets on some models. It's an expensive paper weight for me! Customer service ignores emails too

      Hi drew.
      I ordered the cr max from amazon. Didnt even recognise my 66 auris
      Tried manually after selecting toyota auris wasnt on the list of models. Plugged a 09 leon and 13 reg astra tried the special features like tpms injector coding came up as not supported. Sent it back to amazon. What a huge disappointment.
      What do you recommend what i should go for?
      Possibly below the £600 mark.

    • @achillies40

      @@anderskristensen2755 For the DPF to not regenerate, there has to be a reason. If you take the car for a long drive at high speed, like a freeway, and sustain the speed for around 30 - 40 min, depending on the vehicle manufacturer's specifications, the DPF should regenerate. If there are trouble codes before you start driving, it will not go into regen. You need to look at what the codes are and sort that out first. If you can see the DPF differential pressure sensor readings, you can tell if your DPF is blocked or not. This is important. The DPF system is not complicated but it can be hard to diagnose exactly what is going on. Look for videos on cleaning the DPF without removal.
      I am NOT a mechanic. This is just what I have found out when my partner's car had issues with the DPF. It has taken weeks to sort out. Even the mechanics couldn't figure it out. Turns out the CAT was blocked, the DPF was destroyed, the vaporizor was faulty and the pressure sensor goes funny when it gets hot....it's mounted under the car right next to the DPF....no wonder it gets hot.

      based on what I have read, these don't quite match VIDA/DICE. neither of these offer J2534 pass through, therefore if you need to reprogram modules with OEM Software, you would be better off with the VIDA/DICE.

      Be aware of that the Autel don't work with the Volvo SPA platform, 2017 and newer, after the free subscription period. You need to pay every year for this, Autel say that the tool works whitout subscription but that it's not true for Volvo SPA platform.
      But compare this two with Dice/Vida , no. Vida is so much more. But Vida is not för hobby or amateurs after MY 2014/15 cars. Vida is today cloud based so you need a subscription and it's not cheap.

Also the MK808 is now BiDirectional is the CR MAX BiDirectional as well?

    both the CRMAX and MK808 are produced by the same Chinese company and that is why they have similar appearance and functions - Autel charge far too much for their yearly updates while iCarsoft provide free updates and a cheaper purchase cost - HOWEVER I recommend you read reviews of both units as there are many bad reviews especially for the CRMAX main complaint the unit does not do what it is advertised and really bad back up service - do your research before wasting your money
