What This Tool Can Do

The CR Max P allows you to scan supported vehicle systems for fault codes, view live data, clear warning lights after repairs, access ECU information, and perform service reset functions across a wide range of makes and models.

Unlike a basic OBD2 code reader, the CR Max P is designed to access manufacturer-specific systems such as engine, transmission, ABS, airbags, steering, body control, climate control, suspension, parking systems, battery management, and more where supported. This gives you a much clearer picture of what is happening across the vehicle, rather than only reading basic engine fault codes.

The wireless Bluetooth connection also makes the tool easier to use around the vehicle. The tablet can be kept in your hand, on a bench, or inside the cabin while the vehicle interface remains connected to the diagnostic port.

Bi-Directional Control & Active Testing

One of the key advantages of the CR Max P is its bi-directional control capability. This allows the tool to send commands to supported vehicle modules and components, helping you test whether a part or system is responding correctly.

Depending on the vehicle, this may include active tests for items such as relays, injectors, actuators, windows, mirrors, door locks, sunroof operation, ABS pump motor, cooling fans, interior lights, horn, and other supported systems. iCarsoft describes the CR Max P as a full bi-directional scan tool with support for activation tests across a wide range of vehicle-specific systems.

In practical terms, this can help confirm whether a fault is caused by a component, wiring, module command issue, or system response problem. Availability varies by vehicle make, model, year, and fitted systems.

Service & Maintenance Functions

The CR Max P includes a wide range of service and maintenance functions for supported vehicles. These functions are designed to help with common workshop tasks after servicing, component replacement, or system repair.

Common Service Functions

These include commonly used functions such as oil service reset, electronic parking brake service, steering angle reset, DPF regeneration, injector coding, ABS bleeding, TPMS reset, battery management service, and electronic throttle control. iCarsoft lists these as 9 hot service functions covering daily maintenance needs.

Advanced Service Functions

The CR Max P also includes a larger group of higher-level service functions for supported vehicles. These may include air suspension service, air conditioning service, adaptive headlamp calibration, engine and transmission control service, airbag reset, seat calibration, door/window/roof functions, fuel pump activation, immobilizer functions, EGR service, AdBlue reset, clutch matching, crankshaft learning, high-voltage battery functions, adaptive cruise service, turbocharger learning, NOx sensor reset, radar/camera calibration, control unit reset, oxygen sensor service, seat belt service, and more.

Function availability depends on the vehicle make, model, year, and fitted systems. If you need one specific reset or service function, always check the iCarsoft function list before purchasing.

Vehicle Coverage

The CR Max P is designed as a multi-brand diagnostic platform and supports a wide range of European, Asian, American, and Australian-market vehicles. iCarsoft lists coverage for 58 vehicle brands, including:

Mercedes Benz, Maybach, BMW, Mini, Rolls Royce, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Daewoo, Abarth, Fiat, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Maserati, US Ford, EU Ford, AU Ford, GM, Holden, Acura, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Isuzu, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Infiniti, Nissan, Nissan GTR, Opel, Vauxhall, Porsche, Citroen, DS, Peugeot, Dacia, Renault, Renault Samsung, Saab, Smart, Sprinter, Subaru, Suzuki, Lexus, Scion, Toyota, Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Seat, Skoda, VW, VW CV, VW LT3, MAN LD, Volvo.

CAN-FD Support for Newer Vehicles

The CR Max P supports CAN-FD protocol, which is increasingly used on newer vehicles. This gives the tool improved compatibility with supported late-model vehicles that use CAN-FD communication.

Some newer vehicles may still have security gateway restrictions that limit access to certain advanced functions. This is vehicle-manufacturer dependent, so compatibility should always be checked if you are buying the tool for a specific late-model vehicle.

Software, Updates & Usability

The CR Max P uses a tablet-style interface with a large 10-inch touchscreen and wireless Bluetooth vehicle connection. It is designed to be easier to use than a small handheld scanner, especially when viewing live data, navigating multiple systems, or working around the vehicle.

Software updates are carried out by Wi-Fi, with lifetime free updates listed by iCarsoft. The tool also includes 64GB internal storage and supports multiple languages.

Optional Expansion

The CR Max P can also work with optional iCarsoft accessories, including the VDSP2000 videoscope and BT900 battery tester. These accessories are sold separately and can expand the tool’s usefulness for inspection work and battery testing.

iCarsoft also notes support for selected older OBD1-style European vehicle diagnostics using separate optional adapters, including selected Mercedes-Benz, Sprinter, and BMW connectors. Adapter support and vehicle compatibility should be confirmed before purchase.
