iCarsoft CR MAX Car Diagnostic Tool
The CR MAX pairs dealer-level software — full bi-directional control, OE-level ECU coding and 50 service functions — with a rugged 7-inch Android tablet and a direct 16-pin OBD2 connection, giving serious DIYers and independent shops dealer-level diagnostics without the dealer-level price.
Send live commands to the ABS pump, fuel pump, window regulators and throttle, and watch parts respond in real time — pinpoint the faulty component in minutes.
Troubleshoot, migrate data, calibrate parameters and unlock hidden features across 8 major car groups — coding capability normally reserved for the dealer.
A 16-pin OBD2 main cable links straight to the vehicle for a rock-solid, interference-free data link — plug in, power up and diagnose.
New diagnostic protocols and vehicle coverage delivered wirelessly over Wi-Fi — with no annual subscription fees, ever.
The CR MAX is the cabled cornerstone of the CR diagnostic line. Here is how it sits alongside the wireless CR MAX BT and the 10-inch flagship CR Max P — one dealer-level software platform, three form factors.

The universal OBD scanner CR MAX supports English, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Czech, Swedish, Russian, Hungarian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Danish, and Finnish.
The CR MAX is far more than a basic code reader. It integrates 9 commonly-used service functions for daily maintenance and 41 advanced professional functions for complex repair tasks.
In addition to the four standard systems (Engine, ABS, Airbags, and Transmission), the CR MAX provides diagnostic coverage for more complex vehicle systems.
Pull and erase engine trouble codes, stream live sensor data in real time, and switch off the check-engine light. Catch faults such as misfires, failing oxygen sensors and poor fuel economy early — before they grow into a costly engine repair.

The core differences between the iCarsoft CR MAX and iCarsoft CR Pro S lie in the screen size (7-inch vs. 5-inch), form factor/portability, and hardware expansion capabilities (such as Videoscope and Battery Tester support).
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. Some fault codes of systems like SRS and ABS can only be cleared after finishing bidirectional tests.
Plug the 16-pin OBD2 main cable into the vehicle's OBD port, connect the other end to the tablet, then turn the ignition to the ON position to begin diagnosis.
