Can iCarsoft CR Plus multi brand scanner do the same functions as the MB II/MB V2.0 and other single make scanners?
iCarsoft CR Plus does not cover the full functions of MB II/MB V2.0 and other single brand scanner. As the CR Plus is a four systems scanner, the MB II/MB V2.0 and other single brand scanners are Multi-system scanners. If you only need to diagnose your only one vehicle, for example, you need to test your Mercedes-Benz, the MB II/MB V2.0 works better for you, because the single make scanner covers more systems and special functions.
