To my knowledge, it does not work on a MAC. I had to do it at work.

Deal Killer for me

You can run a Windows VM on a Mac. I run the Durametric on my MacBook Air using Parallels.

Why? Update once and you’re done. Maybe repeat sometime down the road for a newer car or updated functionality? I might check for an update once or twice a year.

I ran a windows VM on a Mac for years but don’t need to for anything anymore. Thought about it for this, but it’s easy enough to use a PC.

I got my POR-II yesterday and updated it using a VM on my Mac. Update went smooth. I'll be doing my first oil change today!

OP, I believe ETCS refers to Electronic Throttle Control System, and DPF refers to Diesel Particulate Filter system. Wonder if ther latter has to do with the Dieselgate scandal.

Yes, it is easy enough to do with a PC....if you own or have access to a PC.

FWIW, I know about running Windows on my Mac using a VM. I used to do this. Or I could restart my Mac by booting into Windows to get the full power of Windows by using Boot Camp. When I bought a new Mac, I was not able to transfer the partition containing my Windows XP installation. Not sure I can even do it now or if WinXP is too old for it to work with this POR-II. Likely, I would need to either buy a Windows laptop or buy a Windows 10 license & install under Boot Camp &/or buy another Virtual software such as VMware Fusion or Parallels. A lot of trouble & expense.

1) Does it do battery registration?
2) What if you want to use the unit on another brand of car? How does that work?

Yesterday 4th may 2018
I have tested Icarsoft cr plus on my macan S 3/2016 . It doesn’t work it doesn’t communicate with the car just error message when trying to open rear caliper.Do not buy it is useless

Did you just try to use it right out of the box or did you follow the instructions to get the download?

Has anyone got the brake reset to work, it keeps confirming that reset is complete but the vehicle is still showing a message that brakes need to be changed. I have a MY2015.
The oil reset worked perfectly fine.

I see that iCarsoft has a multi-vehicle unit available. Just sent an email inquiring if it could also register a battery.

It does not.

Haven't tried yet... Curious to know as well.

Just an update - I tried to reset the oil light, and resetting "oil service" didn't work (even after I entered the date). However, resetting "ALL SERVICE" did the trick.

 

[german88]

Mine reset the oil service light and I DID NOT bother to perform the update. Worked great out of the box!

Any intermediate service reset device?

My Macau is getting 4 year intermediate service light in another 60 days. Any device can reset it? Tkx

iCarsoft POR-II for $150 on amazon


I have it at home, saw youtube videos on it. seems simple. my oil change light comes on in 01/2019 but my mechanic already changed the oil. Waiting for the reminder to come on to try this.

 

[NC TRACKRAT]

It worked for ours.

I just used the icarsoft Por II to reset my Oil Maintenance Indicator. It wasn't even due yet but i already changed the oil. It was set to go off 01/2019. I used the tool with the battery in "on" position and changed it to 12/2019. It asks you to enter in today's date (you can enter any date you want) and it will automatically just add 1 year to it.

It took 3 minutes from start to finish.

 

[Louisssss]

For those of you who own this and for those who are interested, this is easily found on Amazon and only costs $160. You'll make up your money with 1 diy oil change like I just did.

I also plan to use this to help with the rear brakes once they need replacing prob in 2019.

My first question is, can this tool turn off the seat belt noise if I don't be it on when the car is in motion?

iCarSoft POR II and interim service reset

I've searched and have not been able to find anyone having submitted a post that they
successfully reset the interim service now warning with their iCarSoft II diagnostic tool.

I have an iCarSoft II and see only an oil service reset option. Is this the one I am supposed
to select? I last had my oil changed at ~19K miles and have recently reached ~27K miles,
so I'm approaching the 10K oil service interval.

The warnings started appearing a few weeks ago with a countdown in miles to reach the
interim service, culminating in the 'now' message noted above.


To those with iCarSoft II units, have you used it to clear the interim service warning?

Thx!
