Unlike other OBD scan tools on the market that require annual subscription fees, the CR Max P offers lifetime free software upgrades. Updates are delivered wirelessly via Wi-Fi, with new diagnostic protocols and vehicle model coverage continuously released.
CAN-FD (Controller Area Network – Flexible Data-rate) and DoIP (Diagnostic Communication over Internet Protocol) are next-generation automotive communication protocols adopted by today’s modern cars: CAN-FD, compatible with 2020- G.M & Chrysler Models; DoIP, compliant cars including Volvo, Land Rover/Jaguar, BM.W F/G chassis, etc.
The CR Max P goes beyond reading codes. With full bidirectional control, you can command individual components and watch them respond in real time — cycle the ABS pump motor, run window regulators, activate the fuel pump, open the throttle, and run output tests on almost every onboard module. Pinpoint the faulty part in minutes, without trial-and-error.
