MB V3.0 for Mercedes-Benz/Sprinter/Smart Diagnostic Tool with auto VIN/Quick Test

Scanner did exactly what it was supposed to do. I had a minor problem finding my vehicle (2016 Metris) I emailed Barnett at tech support and he got back to me within a couple of hours with information on where my vehicle was located. I was able to scan and reset an air bag light that everyone said the vehicle had to go to the dealer.

This diagnostic scanner was shockingly better than I expected. The price is amazing and I was worried I was going to get a knock off or something that didn't work but I was pleasantly surprised. It dies everything it advertises. I was able to get my mercedes 2009 c300 4matic sport out of limp mode which is where it won't shift out of 1st gear. My car was basically unusable and this scanner allowed me to delete the diagnostic codes that were causing my car to be in limp mode and causing my engine light to be on. It was super easy to use. You just plug it in to your obd port and it's ready to go. Quick, fast, and easy. I'm no mechanic and I fixed my car all by myself. If you own a Mercedes you should own this scanner. It's worth every penny.

This scanner never worked. I would plug it onto the OBD port ans all the button did not function. This item was nothing more than a expensive paperweight. I sent an email with pictures of the non-functioning screen and the serial number. to no avail. I resent all my infor to iCarsoft and a CSR named Bruce Lea, and he told me to format a memory car in FAT32. I omly have MAC computer and no PC's.. I offered to retun my mom-functioning device for a new one that works as the 1st one I PAID FOR shoud have, Still no answer, This device is NOT RECOMMENDED

If you run the quick test, it will launch into a long stream of tests and may be doing things to your car you didn't anticipate of don't understand. At one point it set my instrument display into a mode where it was repeatedly beeping and wouldn't stop. It has been a couple months now so am recalling this from memory, but I had to do a clear faults, possibly clear all faults and let it just run and by luck it cleared the alarm. So, one has to be very careful to just turn this thing loose running all diagnostics. However, I purchased it to allow accessing the transmission computer module and was able to do so. I could see the internal transmission fault codes and once I repaired the problem by replacing the transmission shift lever module, I was able to clear the transmission fault codes. I was able to view live data. The transmission solenoid test was not clear. I ran the test and it comes back almost immediately that test ran successful. That is ambiguous. So the test ran successful; does that mean the solenoids were all ok or the just that the test ran to the end? I heard no clicking of solenoids and the instant end of the test made me doubt whether it tested anything. There needs to be explanations of what each test is actually doing. I didn't check but doubt that's on the web site. The quick test needs to allow halting the test after each module. Since this is on sale for the average mechanically inclined, but NOT an expert Mercedes specialist like me, it should be much more informative, user friendly, and less operating in the dark. Also, to get started, one has to enter the VIN. The device reads the VIN and you don't have to type it in. However, one has to repeat that each time. Can it not store the VIN at least during the session and reuse it each time so you don't have to keep passing through those entries?

I previously had a bluetooth OBDLink MX+ which is just a little cube. It was supposed to cover a bunch of protocols but it only provided Engine/ECU codes for my Mercedes E350. Disappointing. This iCarsoft MB V3.0 is super cool. I did their firmware upgrade before I tried it out and that went just fine. The upgrade was easier to do than PDF showed, it's pretty intuitive. Using the MB V3.0 is a snap, the auto VIN worked great and the quick scan pretty much does it all. My car has a power driver door lock that isn't working and that showed a code, what's more the MB V3.0 has a feature that signals the Door Control Module to test the driver door lock actuator (and the others individually too). Such a powerful tool. It seems you signal any actuator, as I did this for the AC Divider Flap. For that you can see the current position and more. Clearing codes individually is also simple to do and codes are labeled as "historic" or "historic, present" where historic codes are not a problem at the present time. During the car's battery change many modules had reported "voltage too low" which was true for just that moment in time, so that's one example of historic but not present. It might have been nice to use an iPad and BT but wired shows data immediately, way faster than the BT dongle thing, and the wire really is not a problem for me. This MB V3.0 tool is keeper for me, it works great and it has features that really help find and test problems.

Arrived well packed. Went to the web site and downloaded the update package. Updated the unit with no issue. I mention this as this kind of proves it is a genuine - not fake - unit ie the serial number was not rejected. Tested a few of the features. The ability to graph some data is nice.

Chegou rápido e atende o que promete

todo perfecto muy util. ya he ahorrado la inversion

I think it's better than other scanners in the same price range. Therefore, I do not compare iCarsoft MB V3.0 with others that are much better but at least three times more expensive. Didn't support my 2009 ML550 from the beginning except basic scanning. It's completely useless without an update. After I updated the software for free, I found everything what I was looking for. In addition, the Icarsoft website has all the user manuals for download. Not a high-end professional tool, but a good product at a good price. Easy to use and fast. Highly recommended to all owners of older MBs, as it saves a lot of nerves, time and money.

This thing does stuff even more expensive Scanners can do for MB.
