Awesome scanner it works great with Mercedes Benz automobiles, it has every model loaded. If you want to save some money and you are DYIer this scanner is for you. Had a problem with my ABS/ESP system and was able to fix the problem with $133.00 for the part needed, the scanner told me exactly what to buy. The dealer wanted $350.00 just to scan the car and tell me the problem. This scanner is a great value and works great. Totally satisfied with it.
I bought this product to clear SRS light on my Merc.. it did that and more.. i used it to check tranny oil temp when changing the fluid... also I can work on my car without worrying too much abt triggering the DTC
I needed to change out the seat cover on my GLK350. I removed the seat from the car not realizing that I did not have to do that in order to get the bottom cushion out and triggered the airbag malfunction on my dash. I purchased this iCarsoft I980 reader and cleared the dash light within a minute. Since the dealer charges about the same to hook up to their computer to do a reset I figured I might as well buy one of my own for possible future issues.
First thing I did was to do the update. It read a transmission code in my 2005 CLK320 down to the finest detail. The dealer wanted $150 just for the diagnosis. Now that I know what is wrong no one can get the upper hand on me.
Found fault codes on my vehicle instantly a very essential tool for modern vehicles. The unit is well supported with update facilities snd reliable performance. The icarsoft website provides answers to any questions. This unit can also access all OBD11 protocols .
I used a cheap tire speed sensor on my 2005 s500 and immediately the ABS, Presafe and ESP warning lights went on. Got the old sensor cleaned and installed back on. Then hooked up scanner to clear codes. IT WORKED GREAT.
After using my new OBD-II scanner, I noticed it did the exact same thing my mechanic's reader did, except, my mechanic paid over $1000.00 for his. I was so overwhelmed all the systems that the code reader scanned through and found the exact thing that was causing the check engine light...A LOOSE gas cap. My wife and her friend last filled the car up and the gas cap was not properly screwed back on, causing a lack of pressure and hence making the check engine light come on. After the gas cap was on securely, the check engine light stayed on until I cleared the code with the scanner. I was told the light would have eventually gone off once the problem was corrected though.
