Where's the right place to buy icarsoft?

I'm about to buy from UK Parts Direct on ebay, they say they are the official dealer?

 

Correct .

 

Yep,,, you are on the right track with UK Parts Direct. No worrie's,

 

UK Parts Direct are not the only Official UK Dealer in the UK, iCarsoft supply several other 'Official Distributors' in the UK, I bought mine from https://ljmcardiagnostics.co.uk/collections/icarsoft who are currently offering an additional 5% discount on receipt of an E Mail address for a promotional code. If you're buying MB specific products be aware of the different models MB II, MB v1.0 and MB v2.0 generation products, all on offer at same or similar prices, different functionality!

 

Amazon.

I bought mine off E-Bay but it did come with the original receipt from Amazon

 

I bought my i980 from Amazon over year ago, but be aware the one I purchased came in German language and you have to do a software update to the device iirc to change to language to English. This may have changed since that but just making OP aware.
P.S just noticed in above link posted by Tony Dyson, the i980 I own seems to be the older version now to avoid any confusion I may have cast

 

MB V2.0 on its way!

 

Good choice!

Have fun playing with it. It's a good piece of kit.

 

Bought mine TODAY from LJM DIAGNOSTICS. And with 5% off the first order and free delivery. 129 quid delivered. Looking forward to tinkering with it Saturday!

 

A question for any experts in icarsoft.
Just got around to connecting it to the car and found on the auto search it found only the ECU and TCU the other units don't appear on the list and I can't access them from the manual menu.
I've updated the software again and still the same.
Anything suggestions?

 

Are you selecting your vehicle by model, year etc? If so try going a year either way.

 

Yes, W203, c180 kompressor, saloon, petrol,then only choice I get is W203 up to the 10(I think) 2003 and from 10 onwards.

 

ive found that sometimes you may need to go an MY newer or older to get full access on some cars

 

Spot on!
Went back a model and all functions as it should.
Scary, read and cleared about 14 years of historic faults. I feel I could do a lot of damage with a machine like this. I'll take it in easy steps.
