Introducing iCarsoft CR MAX BT: Wireless Power for Multi-Brand Car Diagnostics


In the world of car maintenance, flexibility and convenience matter just as much as power. Enter the iCarsoft CR MAX BT—a wireless Bluetooth upgrade of the popular CR MAX, designed to simplify diagnostics for 58+ major vehicle makes. Whether you’re a home mechanic tuning up your daily driver or a professional technician handling a fleet of diverse models, this tool blends cutting-edge features with the freedom of wireless connectivity. Let’s dive into why it’s a game-changer.


Wireless Convenience, Uncompromised Coverage

The CR MAX BT retains the original CR MAX’s impressive reach but adds Bluetooth connectivity to the mix—meaning you can diagnose vehicles without being tethered to the OBD port. It supports 58+ vehicle makes, from household names like Ford, Toyota, and Hyundai to luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Porsche, plus niche models like Ferrari and Maserati. Even commercial vehicles (Sprinter, VW CV) are included, making it a go-to for workshops with varied clientele.

Hardware & Software: Built for Ease and Speed

Designed for Intuition

Equipped with a 7-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen and 1GB RAM + 32GB ROM, the CR MAX BT balances portability with performance. Its Android 8.1.0 operating system ensures smooth navigation, while the 5000mAh battery delivers 5 hours of continuous use—plenty for a day of diagnostics.

Smart Features That Save Time

  • AutoVIN Identify: Automatically pulls vehicle details (VIN, model, year) to skip manual entry, reducing errors and speeding up workflow.
  • CAN-FD Protocol Support: Keeps up with modern vehicles by enhancing real-time data transmission, critical for diagnosing advanced systems.
  • Multi-language Interface: Available in 15 languages (English, Deutsch, French, and more), making it accessible for global users.

Bi-Directional Control: Test Like a Pro—Wirelessly

The CR MAX BT’s bi-directional (active) test capability is a standout. Unlike basic scanners, it lets you send commands directly to vehicle systems to test components—no need to use the car’s own controls. This means:

  • Activating relays, injectors, or ABS pumps to check functionality.
  • Testing power windows, sunroofs, or mirrors to pinpoint faults.
  • Calibrating adaptive headlamps, steering wheel heating, or interior lights.

It’s 3x faster than manual testing and covers 99% of vehicle-specific systems, making it indispensable for troubleshooting—all without a cord restricting your movement.

Lifetime Free Updates: Stay Current, No Strings Attached

Many scanners lock you into costly update fees after a year, but the CR MAX BT includes lifetime free online updates. Connect via Wi-Fi, hit “update,” and get the latest software, new vehicle support, and enhanced features. It’s a commitment to keeping your tool relevant as cars evolve.

Service Functions: From Routine to Advanced

9 Hot Functions for Daily Maintenance

Perfect for DIYers and quick fixes:

  • Oil Reset: Reset service lights for 57 makes after an oil change.
  • EPB Brake-Pad Reset: Retract calipers and reset settings post-brake replacement (53 makes).
  • TPMS Reset: Program new tire sensors and clear alerts (56 makes).

40 High-Level Tools for Pros

For complex repairs, the CR MAX BT shines with functions like:

  • Air Suspension Service: Calibrate systems for 22 makes (e.g., Land Rover, Mercedes).
  • Immobilizer Service: Add new keys or disable lost ones for 40 makes.
  • AdBlue Reset: Reset urea levels for diesel vehicles (40 makes).

Full OBD2 & OBD1 Support: Covering Old and New

  • OBD2 Compliance: Handles all 10 test modes to fix emission issues—read/clear check engine lights, check I/M readiness, and monitor live data.
  • OBD1 Compatibility: Diagnose older models (e.g., Benz 38Pin, BMW 20Pin) with optional adapters, bridging the gap between classic and modern cars.

Extras That Elevate Utility

  • Videoscope Ready: Pair with the iCarsoft VDSP2000 videoscope (sold separately) to inspect hard-to-reach areas like engine bays.
  • History & Reporting: Save, share, or print diagnostic reports—ideal for tracking work or sharing with clients. The “Feedback” feature even connects you with certified pros for tailored repair tips.

Why the CR MAX BT Stands Out

With wireless freedom, 58+ brand coverage, bi-directional control, and lifetime updates, the iCarsoft CR MAX BT isn’t just a scanner—it’s a flexible partner for anyone serious about car care. Whether you’re untangling a tricky ABS issue or resetting a service light, it delivers power without compromise.
