icarsoft porsche macan 2016: Need One? We Break It Down

Okay, so I’ve been messing around with my 2016 Porsche Macan lately, specifically trying to figure out this whole car scanner thing. I heard about this iCarsoft POR V2.0 scanner and thought, “Why not give it a shot?” So, I got myself one.

First off, I plugged it into my Macan, and guess what? It worked like a charm! No fuss, no issues. It was super easy to get it going. I mainly got it because I wanted to be able to reset the oil service interval and the transfer wear integrator after I do my own maintenance. Also I need to know the oil level because my Macan doesn’t have dipstick, the gauge in the car is not convenient. I like doing things myself, you know? Plus, saving a bit of cash by not going to the dealer is always a plus.

The scanner read all sorts of stuff from my car. I could see all the engine details, transmission, you name it. And clearing any trouble codes? Piece of cake. It’s like having a mini mechanic in your hands. Also this thing is like some kind of magic box because It can do the BMS.

I was also curious about how it would work with other Porsche models, I have no idea. But for my 2016 Macan S, it’s a perfect match. No updates needed, just plug and play.

There are a lot of discussions about whether you need to register the battery, but I registered mine with this tool just in case.

I did some research and saw that Porsche recommends service every 10,000 miles or once a year. It can help to keep my car running smoothly and I think this tool can help me do it myself. This car is pretty safe. It got a good rating in the Euro NCAP test. I also heard that the 2023 model is a good pick, and the 2019 and 2020 models are also good.

All in all, if you’ve got a Porsche Macan, especially around the 2016 model, and you’re into DIY car stuff, I’d say this iCarsoft scanner is worth checking out. It’s made my life a whole lot easier, and it’s pretty cool to see all the data from your car right there in your hands.
