Review: Good product but took me a while to change language from German to English - Neat piece of kit - I’m new to diagnostic devices so I can’t really go into much depth about the specific features it offers, but everyone tells me it’s a “must have” item for any Merc owner. The default language appears to be in German so it took me an hour or so to work out how to resolve this. Hopefully this will helps others: If the device language is set to German you can follow these steps to change it to English: - Select the 4th option in the main menu (Einstellugen) > Select the 1st option in the next menu (Sprachen) > Select “English” and press the “OK” button If you don’t see English in that menu then you will need to update the firmware on the device - it’s not that hard to do, but it appears that it can only be done on a Windows machine (i.e. not Mac). When updating, the available languages are English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Portuguese. To update the device follow these steps: - Plug it into your computer via the included USB cable (there’s a little plastic latch at the bottom of the device where the USB cable plugs into) - When the device comes on, press the “OK” button (be quick - you only get 5 seconds) - Go to the iCarSoft website, select the Support and Updates menu option. It’s important to make sure you select the right update package for your device as if you use the wrong one, it won’t work. So for the i980 you need to select the “Software Update for iCarsoft 1st Generation Products” from the website options. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the “Updating Tool downloading” link. The application will then download. - Install the application and open it - Follow the prompts to register the device (you will need your email address and serial number - which is found on the device screen - if it doesn’t accept your serial number, it means you are using the wrong update tool - so go back to the iCarSoft website and download the right one if this is the case) - It will also ask you for a code - this can be found by opening the device folder on your computer (just like you would an external hard drive) and find/open the device info text file - this is where you will find the password for your device - You should then be presented with the update interface on your computer - tick all the languages you want and then click on the update button - When your computer tells you that the update is complete (shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes), unplug the device/USB cable from your computer - Then plug it back into the USB / computer so that the device turns back on, and it should ask if you want to update it - say yes and let it unpack the latest update - Once it is back on the normal home screen it will probably still be in German so select the 4th option in the main menu (Einstellugen) then select the 1st option in the next menu (Sprachen) and then select “English” and press the “OK” button. Now it is up to date and in English! The above steps are what I did and they worked for me, so they should work for you too!
Review: Works straight out of the box - I do not usually write reviews but was motivated to do so for this as the device works so well, and I had been put off by previous reviews showing that people had struggled to get this device to work, and accounts of the language being set wrong on arrival. None of this was the case with the one which arrived this morning, the day after I ordered it. I had no problems whatsoever getting this to connect to the car, recognise the model, and start scanning the car’s system for faults. There was no need to download any firmware, and the device defaulted to English, and despite the description of the device present when I bought it, all of the packaging and instructions were in English, not French. You simply plug it in (to what looks like a old-fashioned Scart socket located under the steering wheel console on my old Merc), and it activates and provides a menu to navigate to what you want it to do. Start by identifying your model of car and take it from there. Simples. It comes in a handy storage pouch, and seems to do pretty much everything you could want it to. It actually saved me a trip to the garage as it showed my car simply had a momentary fault and allowed me to clear the relevant code. It showed that the part I suspected had malfunctioned - the EGR valve - actually was working fine, giving readings in real time showing the valve was opening and closing. I’m assuming it stuck momentarily when I had the car idling in traffic, sending a fault code. If I get the code again I now have the means to check it out and it will point me to what needs fixing. The data this provides on your car’s systems, in real time, really is impressive. For the money, you can’t go wrong.
