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

This is an excellent scanner for my 2000 Mercedes c280. The car accidentally tripped a transmission code which put it in limp mode. I contacted a repair shop nearby and they said they were going to charge $110 just to clear the code. I was able to buy the scanner and clear it myself and save money in the event that I need to scan the transmission for codes in the future. Great product!

Out of the box, I really liked this code reader. I have both a W210 and a W251 chassis vehicle, and had low expectations on reading the W210. But for the W251, this reader has so far already been helpful in diagnosing an air conditioning failure, reading the refrigerant pressure and providing more detail than I could diagnose without a trip to the shop. It also is picking up minor faults on ancillary systems not triggering a CEL, like hatch sensors, which is immensely helpful.The unit seems to be built fairly well, the buttons seem durable, the menus are tolerable to navigate. The manual is not especially helpful or well written, so I had to learn as I went. Hopefully I won't destroy anything while tinkering, but so far I have figured out how to read the OBDII codes, read other system's codes, store these codes on the included memory card, and then recall them afterwards to see what projects I have soon. The unit paid for itself almost immediately, since I was able to tell my mechanic exactly what services I need performed, so from here on out I'm calling it just a bonus.That was all for the W251, though. If you have a W210, don't expect too much - it reads the OBDII functions through both the OBDII port and the 38-pin port, but I couldn't get the unit to read any of the other features besides that. Disappointed, but it wasn't unexpected.Overall, I am very pleased so far, and hope this unit continues to inform me about enough minor issues to make it worth the expense. It's so much less expensive than a STAR reader or some of the more high end scanners that it's almost foolish not to get this unit, and I am happy to have purchased the M-B specific model instead of the multi-car model, which seemed like it would be a compromise in terms of being able to read all key subsystems of the M-B vehicles. At this price point compared to shop costs, I'm fine buying another one if I get another brand of vehicle in the future.

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$$$ tax4-7 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$20 Accessory battery replacement$Tax3 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.

User interface was intuitive so I didn’t need tech support. Wagon has under hood 38 pin connector for SRS system so I needed that adapter as well. Bought both at the same time. With the system plugged in and the car running I scanned the SRS modules. Nothing was actually wrong because I had triggered the light myself while changing my turn signal mast. Scanning the modules cleared the light.

I bought this item as I was intermittently receiving an ABS light on my Mercedes G500.When I first received the unit I hooked it up and it read 100 fault codes (seemed high to me for a vehicle with no problems, other than the random ABS code). I tried to clear the codes, so I could start with a fresh slate....nope, that didn’t work, in fact, I have never been able to get it to clear any codes.Included in the package was a telephone number for “tech support.” I put it in quotes, because it is just some guy’s cell phone number. I called about three times, just got his voicemail, I texted a few times and finally got a response. It was very generic and didn’t help.This past week my ABS light came on again. I plugged in the reader and it showed zero faults, even though the ABS light was on....I contacted the seller through Amazon who was useless and rude. I provided him with some pictures of the display and his response was, “Why are you showing me this?”This thing is junk. I own about 4 other code reader and all of them work...tech support was poor and the seller was useless.I am contacting Amex for a chargeback, this thing is a brick. Buy a different product.

Good
