Denny Wilson.. Scam Tool Network you mean!!, aka Diagnostic - World UK!! Should you need to correspond with or return goods (which will be of inferior quality) to this company you will definitely be out of luck. They do not have any form of telephone communication, they do not reply to messages sent via their online email form or the email address they use to confirm your initial order. They do not reply to letters sent via Royal Mail to their "business address " which if you check it on Google Street View, turns out to be a small nondescript semi detached domestic house in Newcastle. In short they will have no dealings whatsoever with you once they have your money. They are a ROGUE COMPANY with zero customer service. Also they use many other business names, eg.. Dominator Auto Diagnostics,>> iCarsoft Pro Diagnostics , >> CastrolzAuto ( one of his older KZread Channels) and finally >>Bavarian Dominator, where customer reviews on the latter, can be found online at the Review Centre....... Buyers Beware!!

Dave i really appreciate the time you took to make this detailed video of actually doing something with the tool rather than just reading the spec sheet like the others. I have been looking for a good scan tool in low budget and the problem is that all these tools have no professional information available about anything. They all seem to be actually designed and made by just a single company somewhere in china, and to which the brands just slap on their names and sell. I have even tried downloading a few user manuals (Autel MP808, Autel MK808 and iCarsoft CR Max to be specific) and the confusion still carried on as even the user manuals were the same. Like literally it was the same template and description used by two different companies for three different products. after watching your video was only when i actually came to know something a little in detail about this tool. For now I am heavily leaning on this iCarsoft CR Max.

@@DavesDiscoveriesChannel yes the free updates is a good thing if you plan on using the tool for a long time and on new cars. I just got my iCarsoft CR Max before two days. I'm still to use this tool on a real car but i still checked out the menus and i can say for the price this tool is a bargain for what it does. I had an Autel ML629 and i upgraded to this tool.

I noticed the same thing about all the diagnostic scanner companies. Some of them almost look the same except for colour and the rubber end grips, the icons and screen look the same or similar. I wish this KZread channel would have gone into more detail though. For example, BMS (Battery Management System) where I'd like to see 4 windows where I can enter the Capacity (Ah), the battery type (AGM, standard lead acid, etc), the Serial Number and the Part Number. Also, he can click on many service functions without changing anything unless he clicks the OK button; he can always click the "back" icon. Also, you can do an ABS Bleed without actually doing a bleed...you listen for the ABS pump being activated. I could use one of these for my Acura and Porsches, but I am being cautious as I already have 5 diagnostics tools, three of them were expensive and I am done with empty/false promises from manufacturers. Anyway, a whole lot better than the reviews from people selling the product.

Bought it today, can't wait to test it out.

This device can diagnose my Maserati Quattroporte for this price. Switched from the 9xx series small iCarsoft tool to CR MAX and it is a great tool, absolutely worth its price.

I bought one. Think it`s very good. pointed out a few issues on my cars that I was aware of, so I know it works fine. I hav enow used it to sort out my issues.

Hi there mate i am looking two buy and cr max Do they reset the dpf Particulate Additive Fluid Fap Pouch

Does it have a slot for sd card and how much storage does it have?

I was wondering if there is a phone number for technical question about the tool in the US?

Bonjour, j’ai essayé d’effectuer une régénération forcé ( DPF ) sur une audi A3 avec ma valise icarsoff CR Max et ca n’a pas voulu s’exécuter. Pourriez-vous m’aider ? Astuce, étape à suivre merci.

So you find a fault and delete the fault but not fix the fault. Oppps that dont sound good to me. Does the machine show you the issue as to location, part number fault, how to fix etc,,any of that info. Also another question,,,if you delete the fault and run a new test,,does it show the fault again as the fault was repaired/fixed..
