Hardware Built for the Modern Garage

The hardware and software upgrades on this unit make complex diagnostics incredibly fast and intuitive. Running on Android 8.1.0, here is what drives the top-tier performance of the CR Max P:

10-Inch Touchscreen

A massive, crystal-clear LCD capacitive touchscreen (1280 x 800 resolution) provides ample space for reading live data graphs and navigating menus effortlessly.

CAN-FD Protocol Ready

Compatible with the latest CAN-FD protocol, significantly enhancing the real-time performance and data transfer speeds of modern vehicle diagnosis.

All-Day Battery Life

Equipped with a massive 10000mAh lithium-polymer battery, delivering around 8 hours of continuous, uninterrupted use on a single charge.

Fast AutoVIN Identify

Automatically retrieves detailed vehicle VIN information in seconds, eliminating manual entry to save time, reduce human error, and streamline your workflow.

Full Bi-Directional Control: Work 3x Faster

A bidirectional function is an absolute must-have for any auto professional. The iCarsoft CR Max P is a full bidirectional scan tool (also known as active tests or actuator tests).

By operating this scanner to send specific commands directly to the vehicle's ECU, you can test individual components for faults without using the vehicle's own controls. This method is up to three times faster than testing manually.

It can activate 99% of vehicle-specific systems, subsystems, and components. Test your A/C configuration, window wipers, sunroof switches, adaptive headlamps, ABS pump motors, relays, coils, and cooling fans with absolute precision.

40+ High-Level Service Functions at Your Fingertips

The CR Max P provides extensive coverage for 58 major vehicle makes, from Mercedes-Benz and BMW to Ford, Honda, and Porsche. It covers 9 hot service functions for daily maintenance and over 40 high-level service functions for deep repairs. Key capabilities include:

  • DPF Regeneration: Works perfectly for diesel particulate filter systems, including DPF teach-in after replacing the engine control unit.
  • Injector Coding: Relearn the injector control parameters seamlessly when an injector is renewed or replaced.
  • Immobilizer Service (IMMO): Perform anti-theft matching, disable any lost keys, and add new keys (for cars with easy Immobilizer systems).
  • EPB & ABS Bleeding: Retract electric parking brake calipers and release air to restore ABS brake sensitivity.
