Returns
Due to an increased number of customers not checking compatibility before purchase, we can now only offer to cover the cost of return postage in exceptional circumstances - such as if the error regarding compatibility is our own, or the scanner itself is faulty (please see ‘Warranty’ below).
Please note that whilst our scanners are capable of performing many functions, this doesn’t mean that every single function is definitely supported on your vehicle. Please check the provided compatibility lists or contact us directly to confirm compatibility.
Upon contacting us about a return, please provide your vehicle details and the function you are trying to access, and we will check compatibility for you.
If you order a scanner that is not supported with your vehicle you are of course welcome to return for a refund within 30 days of receipt, however we kindly ask that you pay to return this yourself. We can recommend the Royal Mail Second Class Signed For service as the best value option for UK customers.
If your vehicle should be supported but the scanner is not working as it should, we can also offer technical support (see below).
Technical Support
Most problems can be fixed by updating the scanner, so please try this first. Please ensure all fault codes have been cleared in order to perform the service functions.
We have a dedicated iCarsoft technician that we can contact on your behalf if you do experience an issue that we cannot resolve ourselves. Please contact us with any problems and we will do our best to get your scanner up and running as soon as possible.
In the unlikely event that we cannot get the scanner working for you, we will cover the cost of postage for your return, and refund the order in full.
Warranty
Every iCarsoft scanner comes with a 2 year warranty as standard. This includes electronic faults and problems with the use of the unit, but does not cover accidental damage, e.g. a cracked screen.
Your warranty covers you for replacement of the same scanner model only. After the initial 30 days returns period has passed, the warranty entitles you to the replacement only, and not a refund. A refund will only be offered within the initial 30 day returns period, or if the scanner is unable to be replaced for any reason (e.g. out of stock).
Updating the Scanner
You will require a laptop or desktop computer in order to update this scanner.
-
PC Users - please click here to download and update the software for this scanner from the iCarsoft website.
- MAC Users - please click here to download and update the software for this scanner from the App Store.
Updates are free for life, so the price you pay when purchasing the scanner is the only cost you will ever need to pay.
Before updating, please remove all current software from the scanner to ensure there is enough space for the download. Plug the scanner into the computer and locate its file, then delete all contents the same way you would delete files on a USB stick.
My Vehicle Isn’t Supported?
All of our compatibility lists are fully up to date, so if your vehicle isn’t supported it is likely for one of the following reasons:
- Older models - some older vehicles will not support these scanners as the software does not exist for vehicles of this age.
- Newer models - it takes iCarsoft around 2-3 years to develop software after vehicle releases. For example, the software for 2024 vehicles is likely to be released in 2026/2027.
- Electric vehicles - iCarsoft scanners do not currently support electric vehicles.
- The manufacturer has blocked the function - some software is not able to be created as the car manufacturer has implemented a factory access code which the scanner cannot bypass.
Automatic VIN Recognition
Whilst iCarsoft scanners are able to automatically recognise the majority of VINs, some VINs are atypical and will not follow the standard format. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that automatic VIN recognition will work on every single car. If it isn’t recognised automatically, the VIN can be entered manually.
How Do I Print Data?
Please click here to Download the User Guide to print data.
OBD2 Connection
OBD2 is the standard connection type that allows the scanner to communicate with the vehicle.
Some older cars might not have this connection type, so please check before purchase. For Mercedes, we offer a 38 PIN connector here.
Vehicles imported from Japan will have a different connection type which none of our scanners support. Please ensure the car is not an import and has a standard 17-digit VIN before purchase.
Series
Some vehicle options fall under one software series. For example, if you require software for Jaguar, you will also get the software for Land Rover too. This all counts as one option.
- Audi, Seat, Skoda & Volkswagen (VAWS)
- BMW & Mini
- Chrysler, Dodge & Jeep
- Citroen & Peugeot
- Fiat, Lancia & Alfa Romeo
- GM, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet
- Honda & Acura
- Jaguar & Land Rover
- Mercedes & Smart (Benz)
- Nissan & Infiniti
- Renault & Dacia
- Toyota & Lexus
- Vauxhall & Opel
All other options are available for the single-brand only. For example, Porsche.
