iCarsoft Auto Diagnostic Scanner POR V2.0

If you are looking to save on the Porsche tax on service and want to DIT, this is amidst have device. From oil changes to brakes, this tool is very useful for diagnostics on your Porsche. Must have and super easy to use.

This tool was pretty handy for retracting the EPB on a 2021 Macan GTS. I read a few negative reviews and decided to update the software on the device before first use. That was surprisingly easy to do via a Windows 10 PC.Plug it in. It powers on. From there I spent about 20 seconds during "figure it out as you go" to get into the Service tab and then EPB. It provides some nice step by step instructions and even a few warnings when performing the EPB "return to home" command. Ignition ON, hit F1 and I could easily hear the motors retracting.This tool now lives next to the spare tire in the Macan in case it's ever needed for diagnosis or maintenance while out on the road.

I purchased this tool so that I can reset my oil change light on my 2014 Carrera S (991).I still take it to the dealer and of course it cost a fortune to have the oil changed.I only put about 1200 miles per year on this car.I’ve also decided to have oil changed every other year.Which is probably still overkill.In any case I plugged this unit into the OBD socket in the lower left kick panel.The unit immediately identified the car and walked me easily through the process of resetting the service light for another year.The only thing that was a little bit confusing was when they ask you to enter today’s date for instance.You key it in to the unit year month day running all the digits together.No dashes,spaces or slashesI.e. 20221014. For today’s date, which is October 14, 2022It would be nice if when you key in the date, it would ask you to Key in month day year.And the option of putting in slashes, periods or spaces between the digits would also help.Rather than running all of the numbers together.I’ll do additional reviews as I do more functions,But for now as far as I’m concerned this gadget has already paid for itself.And it’s giving me a little bit of control over my car rather than having to rely on the dealer or a shop to do the simple little function.I’m also looking forward to being able to install my own battery when the time comes.I know that on a lot of these new cars you have to reprogram the cars computer every time you put a new battery in.Again that adds a few hundred dollars on the service if you have the Porsche dealer do it.

Purchased for use with boxster 986. Was able to use it to reset an airbag code. Now have a “check engine” light, and this scanner wont give a code, just an “O2 sensor no activity” to be fair, it was the O2 sensor, but if you want a code, it’s not shown. Although they advertise free lifetime updates, their is no way to get an update, the directions are terrible and you just receive error codes with no way to resolve the issue. This unit was also supposed to be able to read cam chain deviation- there is no way to do this in any of the menus. Too late for me to return this. I strongly advise getting a Foxwell, easier to use and upgrades are available

This is a worthwhile upgrade as functions like BMS reset, park brake air gap and PDK calibration on a 2016 Panamera are all possible with v3.0. Diagnostic menu has been expanded and is much easier to use. Was considering an off brand Piwis but this unit does everything I need so far. Definitely recommended :)

Really nice device. Unfortunately it did not read the issues I was having. I would have kept it, but I'm trading in my car soon for a new model and this one does not support new Porsche 911. I think I will return to purchase it at a later date, but for now I will need to get something like a Duramax which is more expensive but has more options for diagnosing more items hopefully the ones I am having issues with.

2019 Cayenne S, worked well to clear service messages and check for any codes. No complaints easy to use.

Just confirming that version 3.0 works to reset the oil maintenance on a Porsche Cayenne 2022. I just changed the oil and reset the service warning using this tool. No need to upgrade nothing.
