For car enthusiasts, home mechanics, and professionals, the right diagnostic tool can transform how you maintain and repair vehicles—especially when dealing with both modern and classic models. The iCarsoft CR Pro+ Enhanced Version steps up to the plate, building on its predecessors with key upgrades that set it apart: a built-in BENZ 38Pin adapter for classic OBD1 models, 40+ service reset functions, and smart features like AutoVIN. Let’s explore why this tool is a game-changer.
A Key Upgrade: Built-in BENZ 38Pin Adapter for Classic Models
Unlike the standard CR Pro or even the CR Pro Enhanced Version, the CR Pro+ comes pre-equipped with a BENZ 38Pin multi-system adapter—a huge win for anyone working on classic Mercedes-Benz models. OBD1 vehicles (like older BENZ 38Pin models) often require specialized tools, but the CR Pro+ eliminates the need to hunt for separate adapters.
While it also supports other OBD1 vehicles (Sprinter 14Pin, BMW 20Pin) with optional adapters, the included BENZ 38Pin adapter makes it a go-to choice for classic BENZ owners. No more delays—diagnose vintage models as smoothly as modern ones.
40+ Service Reset Functions: More Than Just the Basics
What truly distinguishes the CR Pro+ from its predecessors is its expanded suite of 40+ service reset functions—far more than the 9 or 15 functions found in earlier models. These split into two tiers to cover every maintenance need:
9 Core Daily Functions
Perfect for routine upkeep, with broader vehicle coverage than older CR Pro models:
Oil Reset
Supports 57 vehicle makes for resetting oil life systems.
EPB-Brake-Pad Reset
Works with 53 makes to retract calipers and reset brake pads.
TPMS Reset
Covers 56 makes for sensor ID management and testing.
40+ Advanced Professional Functions
Designed for deep repairs, these include:
-
Immobilizer Service (40 makes): Match new keys or disable lost ones (ideal for anti-theft needs).
-
AdBlue Reset (40 makes): Reset urea levels after refilling diesel exhaust fluid.
-
Turbocharger Service (33 makes): Relearn settings after turbo component replacement.
-
High Voltage Battery Service (26 makes): Maintain electric vehicle batteries with monitoring and replacement registration.
-
Engine Idle Adjustment (37 makes): Calibrate idle speed after repairs.
-
Radar/Camera Calibration (38 makes): Align advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
These handle tasks that once required dealership-level tools, putting professional-grade repairs within reach.
Smart Features: AutoVIN & Intuitive Design
The CR Pro+ adds AutoVIN Identify—a time-saver missing in many older models. This feature automatically pulls detailed vehicle info (make, model, year) without manual entry, reducing errors and speeding up diagnostics.
Pair that with button navigation that’s even more streamlined than previous versions, and you’ll spend less time fumbling with settings and more time fixing issues. It also arrives pre-loaded with software, so you can start scanning right out of the box—no tedious downloads required.
Hardware Upgrades: Better Display & Compatibility
Building on earlier models, the CR Pro+ boasts a 4.3″ TFT LCD (800*480 pixels)—larger and sharper than the 4.0″ screen in the standard CR Pro. This makes live data, codes, and reports easier to read, even in bright garages.
It also fully supports the CAN FD Protocol, ensuring compatibility with the latest vehicle models (2020+), while retaining OBD2 full-mode support (all 10 modes) to tackle emission issues, clear check engine lights, and run EVAP/O2 sensor tests.
58 Vehicle Makes & Multilingual Support
Like its siblings, the CR Pro+ covers 58 major vehicle makes worldwide—from luxury brands (BMW, Audi, Rolls-Royce) to everyday favorites (Ford, Toyota, Hyundai). But with its expanded functions, it supports more models within each brand: for example, Oil Reset works on 57 makes (vs. fewer in older tools), and Steering Angle Reset covers 57 makes.
Plus, it offers 14 languages (English, Deutsch, French, etc.), making it accessible for users globally.
Track, Share, & Get Expert Help
Need to document repairs or consult a pro? The CR Pro+ lets you save, share, and print diagnostic reports via a Windows PC. Its “Feedback” function connects you with certified technicians for customized advice—adding an extra layer of support for tricky issues.
