Carsoft 8

Hey, Has anyone purchased or heard anything about the Carsoft Version 8. My cousins operate a repair shop in NY but they don't generate enough revenue to purchase the Startek version of Mercedes Star DAS SDS.

I called carsoft today and they quoted me $1,400 for their most update Ultimate editions for both BMW & Mercedes with shipping included.

Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks Fob. I was a little apprehensive about their whole setup so I gave up. Thanks for the input.

Hi, sadly I am the latest victim of Carsoft, 1050 euro out of pocket and the device doesn't work. I know it's been some time since you were ripped off and the chances of recouping your money is slim but you might be able to help me? I am trying to build profile on Carsoft before taking legal action, your experience might help. Alan

I could not see paying that (and being held hostage that way), so bought Carsoft BMW Home version 7.3. It was easy to set up on the computer. I plugged it into the OBD2 connector and reset the light. I have used it a lot over the last 3 years without issues. Carsoft would notify me when new versions were available and it was updated several times free of charge.

I currently have Ultimate Pro on order - €195 for software with security dongle (without cables and interface box) on sale – normally €390. I got a note earlier this week saying it had shipped. I'll report back once I have it running.
