The CR Elite is a practical four-system diagnostic scanner built for professional mechanics, DIY enthusiasts and multi-car households. It reads and clears codes across the engine, transmission, ABS and airbag (SRS) systems on 58 vehicle makes, pairs that with 9 essential service-reset functions, CAN-FD support and lifetime free updates — complete control over your vehicle's health, no subscription, no surprises.
Read and clear codes and live data across the four core systems — engine, transmission, ABS and airbag (SRS) — and switch off the warning lights once repairs are done.
The most commonly used resets for everyday maintenance — Oil, EPB, SAS, DPF, ABS Bleeding, BMS, TPMS and more — far beyond a basic code reader.
Speaks the next-generation CAN-FD protocol used on 2020-and-newer G.M and Chrysler models — ready for the cars rolling into your bay today.
New coverage and protocols delivered free via the included TF card reader and your PC — zero annual subscription fees, ever.
The CR Elite is the dependable button-operated four-system scanner. Here is how it compares with the CR Elite P — the 5-inch Android touchscreen successor that adds Wi-Fi updates, bi-directional control and a far larger service-function set when your work calls for it.

The two marked rows are where the CR Elite P steps beyond the CR Elite — bi-directional control (actuation tests) plus a greatly expanded set of high-level service functions. Everything else — four-system coverage, the core service resets, CAN-FD, AutoVIN and lifetime free updates — is shared by both.
Broad four-system coverage across 58 European, American and Asian makes — from everyday drivers to Ferrari, Bentley and Rolls-Royce. Confirm your vehicle by VIN, or browse the full brand list below.
The iCarsoft CR Elite features a vibrant 4-inch screen and intuitive button navigation for quick, effortless menu browsing. It comes with a dedicated TF card reader, so you can update the software and vehicle database from your PC — no Wi-Fi required.



Unlike other OBD scan tools on the market that require annual subscription fees, the CR Elite offers lifetime free software upgrades.
The CR Elite reads and clears codes and live data across the engine, ABS, airbag (SRS) and transmission — the four systems behind most warning lights — and switches the lights back off once the underlying fault is repaired.

The CR Elite car scanner can read and erase DTCs, turn off the check engine light and view live data. It reads stored trouble codes and live data, helping you investigate common issues — such as a faulty oxygen sensor or worn spark plugs — and catch problems early, before they grow into a major engine repair.

Yes. CR Elite includes lifetime free software upgrades. No annual subscription required.
Yes, absolutely. Unlike basic OBD2 code readers that only scan the engine, the CR Elite can access and scan all available electronic modules in your vehicle.
Not necessarily. Send your VIN to our support team and we'll confirm AutoVIN compatibility within 24 hours. In the meantime, you can manually select your vehicle model — all diagnostic functions will still work normally. We'll add your VIN to our database in the next update.
Please keep ignition on and engine off. Record freeze frame data first before clearing codes.
Persistent hardware faults need physical repair prior to code clearance.
For some systems such as SRS and ABS, certain fault codes can only be cleared after the underlying fault has been physically repaired.
The CR Elite P is the upgraded successor to the CR Elite. It transforms the traditional button-operated scanner into a smart 5" Android touchscreen device, adding convenient one-click Wi-Fi updates and advanced ECU coding—all without needing a PC.
