Purpose-built hardware that just works.
The iCarsoft POR V3.0 features a vibrant 4-inch screen and intuitive button navigation for quick, effortless menu browsing. It also comes standard with a dedicated card reader, making software and vehicle database updates entirely seamless via your PC. No Wi-Fi needed — update anytime via the included card reader and your PC.
Your tool gets newer while your wallet rests.
Unlike other OBD scan tools on the market that require annual subscription fees, the POR V3.0 offers lifetime free software upgrades.
UPDATE PLANTalks to the latest platforms without breaking a sweat.
CAN-FD (Controller Area Network – Flexible Data-rate) is the next-generation communication protocol that Porsche has adopted across its latest platforms.
What is CAN-FD?
CAN-FD (Controller Area Network – Flexible Data-rate) is the next-generation evolution of the classic CAN bus, now adopted across the newest Porsche platforms.
- Flexible Data-Rate: Transfers larger data frames at faster speeds than classic CAN, keeping up with modern vehicle electronics.
- Adopted by Porsche: The communication standard used on the brands' latest chassis generations.
CAN-FD Ready, Out of the Box
- Native CAN-FD Support: Talks the Porsche CAN-FD protocol directly from the standard OBD2 port.
- Newest Models Covered: Keeps the POR V3.0 connected to the latest chassis in its 1996–2025 coverage range.
One Tool, Every Protocol
CAN-FD is only the newest layer — the POR V3.0 speaks the full range of protocols used across three decades of Porsche models.
- Beyond CAN-FD: Also supports classic CAN (ISO 11898 high/medium/low-speed & single-wire), K/L-Line, ISO 9141-2, ISO 14230-2, ISO 15765, SAE-J1850 and more.
- Old or New, One Connector: Standard 16-pin OBD2 covers 2001+ models; pre-2001 models connect via the optional 20-pin adapter.
Interrogate every module — the way the factory does.
Ordinary OBD scanners only read fault codes — they tell you what might be wrong, but not which part is actually failing. The POR V3.0 goes further: full bidirectional control lets you send commands directly to individual components and watch them respond in real time.
On a Porsche, that means you can:
Body & Comfort Active Tests
Command body and comfort modules directly from the screen — no door panels off, no wire probing.
- Test window regulators, door locks, mirrors, and sunroof motors module by module
Powertrain & Fuel Active Tests
Send commands straight to the engine-side modules and watch each component respond before touching a single part.
- Activate the fuel pump to verify pressure before tearing down the rail
- Command throttle body opening to diagnose idle and acceleration faults
Chassis & Brake Active Tests
Take direct control of the hydraulic hardware that normally only responds while driving.
- Cycle the ABS pump motor and bleed each wheel circuit individually
Dynamic Output Tests
Identify the faulty part in minutes — not days of trial-and-error part-swapping.
- Run actuator tests on the PDK transmission, PASM dampers, and PCM infotainment modules
From plug to profile in seconds flat.
Skip the manual VIN typing — simply plug in, and the tool identifies your vehicle in seconds. No typos, no extra lookup time. This boosts accuracy, eliminates input errors, and delivers a smoother, more reliable diagnostic experience.
One-Plug Identification
- Automatic VIN Read: Simply plug into the OBD2 port and the POR V3.0 identifies your BMW, Mini or Rolls-Royce in seconds.
- No Extra Lookup Time: Skip manual VIN typing and model-menu digging entirely — go straight to diagnostics.
Accuracy Built In
- Eliminates Input Errors: No typos means the scanner always loads the exact software profile for your vehicle.
- Smoother, More Reliable Sessions: Correct identification from the first second delivers a more reliable diagnostic experience.
Manual Selection Backup
AutoVIN depends on individual vehicle ECU protocols. If AutoVIN skips your car, it doesn't mean the device is faulty — you always have a second way in.
- Manual Selection Mode: Pick your model from the menu and every diagnostic and service function works exactly the same.
- Growing VIN Database: Send your VIN to the support team and it will be verified and added in the next software update.
Every menu, in your mother tongue.
Porsche scanner POR V3.0 supports 15 interface languages — pick yours from the list below.
Every service reset your 911 will ever ask for.
The POR V3.0 is far more than a basic code reader. It integrates 9 commonly-used service functions for daily maintenance and 17 advanced professional functions for complex repair tasks — 26 in total.
Allows you to reset the engine oil life system, service lamp, service mileage, and service intervals after an oil change.
Relearns throttle valve control parameters after resetting or replacing the throttle body.
Retracts the electric parking brake calipers and resets the brake pads after replacement.
Calibrates the steering wheel to the straight-ahead position, or recalibrates the SAS after steering component replacement.
Performs DPF regeneration, component replacement initialization, and DPF relearning after engine control unit replacement — for diesel particulate filter systems.
Relearns the injector control parameters when an injector is renewed or replaced.
Bleeds air from the system to restore ABS brake response, or performs a relearn procedure after ABS replacement.
Supports calibration, height adjustment, system reset, and fault code clearing for air suspension systems. Lets you precisely set ride height, perform system initialization, and resolve common air suspension faults.
Evaluates the battery charge state, monitors closed-circuit current, registers battery replacement, and activates the vehicle's sleep mode.
Allows you to look up the tire sensor IDs from the vehicle's ECU, inputting TPMS sensor replacement IDs and testing sensors.
Supports routine maintenance of A/C modules, including A/C system adaptation reset, compressor reset, compressor break-in, and stepper motor initialization.
Calibrates and initializes the adaptive headlamp system (AFS/Matrix LED) — required after headlight assembly replacement, level sensor adjustment, or front suspension repair. Essential for Porsche models equipped with Dynamic Light System or LED Matrix headlights.
Supports routine maintenance of DSC modules, including resetting or deleting adaptation values, and initializing the unit.
Supports routine maintenance of engine modules, including resetting or deleting adaptation values, and calculating fuel consumption.
Supports routine maintenance of transmission modules, including resetting adaptation values and transmission fluid level adaptation.
Resets airbag data to clear the airbag (SRS) warning light after a collision.
