iCarsoft MB II owners? Feedback?

Hello everyone,

Any owners of this tool? Trying to get a scan on a "Service Brake" message I have. Took a look at the brakes today and there's plenty of pad left.

Curious to know it's other functionalities as well.

Thanks,

V

Should have my unit today form Amazon. I will let you know.
I believe the brake light should not be an issue.

I actually went ahead and bought one too, should be here tomorrow or Friday. At a minimum I figured I could also use it on the C55 and it'll be better than the cheapo scanner I have now.

Used my icarsoft last night and was able to pull codes from the
Vario roof module. Seems to work quite well
So far. All modules were present on the scanner
I didn't go into all of them but the important stuff was there.

Hello guys, sorry for the delay in response. I just finally got around to messing with it. Works nicely, although I was not able to get the brake reset to work. When "reactivating SBC" was done, I could hear the SBC working and the calipers popping, but the same "service brake" message stayed on. So I guess I have something else going on.

Works as advertised

Bought mine off ebay for around $150. Great tool to have and has a lot of MB items already linked in its database, so no looking up arcane codes.
