Supported German Vehicle Groups

The DE V4.0 is the German-marque specialist in the iCarsoft range and covers the main German automotive groups.

• Mercedes-Benz Group: Mercedes-Benz, Maybach, Smart and supported Sprinter models
• BMW Group: BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce
• Volkswagen Group: Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda, SEAT, Porsche and other supported VAG-group brands

Exact diagnostic, coding, service and active-test coverage depends on the vehicle model, production year and installed control modules.

Who Is the iCarsoft DE V4.0 For?

The DE V4.0 is particularly well suited to owners, enthusiasts and independent workshops working with more than one German vehicle brand.

Instead of buying separate Mercedes-, BMW- and VAG-specific scanners, the DE V4.0 provides one platform for all three major German automotive groups. It is especially useful for households, enthusiasts and workshops working with mixed German fleets.

Full-System Diagnostics

Unlike a basic OBD2 scanner that mainly communicates with the engine control unit, the iCarsoft DE V4.0 can access multiple control modules throughout supported vehicles.

Depending on the vehicle, diagnostic access can include:

• Engine
• Automatic transmission
• ABS
• Airbag / SRS
• Electronic parking brake
• Steering systems
• Body control modules
• Climate control
• Instrument cluster
• Battery management
• Lighting and comfort systems
• Other manufacturer-specific control modules

Functions include reading and clearing diagnostic trouble codes, viewing live data, system scanning, AutoVIN vehicle identification and accessing manufacturer-specific diagnostic information.

Full Bidirectional Control and Active Tests

The DE V4.0 supports full bidirectional diagnostics, allowing the scanner to send commands directly to supported vehicle control modules.

Depending on the vehicle and control module, active tests can include:

• ABS pump activation
• Window regulator tests
• Fuel pump activation
• Throttle actuation
• EGR valve tests
• Fuel injector tests
• Cooling fan activation
• Transmission solenoid tests
• Door lock and mirror tests
• Other supported actuator tests

The manufacturer lists more than 22 active-test categories, although exact availability depends on the vehicle and installed control modules.

BMW & VAG ECU Coding

One of the main advantages of the DE V4.0 is support for ECU coding on compatible BMW and VAG-group vehicles.

BMW coding support covers compatible BMW Group vehicles, while VAG coding applies to supported Volkswagen Group vehicles such as Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda and SEAT.

Available coding functions vary by model, production year and control unit, so compatibility should always be confirmed when a specific coding procedure is required.

48 Service and Maintenance Functions

The iCarsoft DE V4.0 includes 48 service and maintenance functions for supported vehicles. These consist of 9 commonly used maintenance functions and 39 advanced professional functions.

Common Service Functions

• Oil / service reset
• Electronic parking brake / brake pad service
• Electronic throttle control
• Steering angle sensor calibration
• DPF regeneration
• Injector coding
• ABS bleeding
• Battery management reset
• TPMS-related functions

Additional advanced functions include manufacturer-specific resets, adaptations, relearns and calibration procedures. Exact availability varies by vehicle.

Why Choose DE V4.0 Instead of a Single-Brand V4.0?

The DE V4.0 is the better choice if you work with several German vehicle brands. While models such as MB V4.0, BMM V4.0 and POR V4.0 are focused on specific vehicle groups, the DE V4.0 combines Mercedes-Benz, BMW and VAG-group diagnostics in one device.

If you only work with one vehicle group, a dedicated single-brand V4.0 may still be sufficient. If you work with multiple German brands, the DE V4.0 offers significantly broader coverage from a single scanner.

CAN-FD & DoIP Support

The iCarsoft DE V4.0 supports both CAN-FD and DoIP protocols used by newer German vehicle platforms.

It also supports a wide range of traditional automotive communication protocols for older vehicles.

AutoVIN Vehicle Identification

The AutoVIN function can automatically identify supported vehicles through the diagnostic connection, reducing the need to manually enter vehicle information.

If AutoVIN does not identify a particular vehicle, manual vehicle selection can still be used.

Lifetime Free Wi-Fi Updates

Software updates for the DE V4.0 are included for the lifetime of the device. Updates are downloaded directly through Wi-Fi, with no annual diagnostic software subscription fees.

5-Inch Android Touchscreen

The DE V4.0 uses a modern Android-based interface with a 5-inch capacitive touchscreen.

• Android operating system
• 5-inch capacitive touchscreen
• 854 × 480 resolution
• Quad-core 1.3 GHz processor
• 32 GB internal storage
• 5000 mAh rechargeable battery
• Approximately 6 hours continuous operating time
• 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
• USB 2.0
• USB Type-C charging

Older BMW, Mercedes-Benz & Sprinter Models

The DE V4.0 also supports selected older German vehicles when used with the appropriate optional adapter.

• BMW 20-pin adapter: selected pre-2001 BMW models
• Mercedes-Benz 38-pin adapter: selected older Mercedes-Benz passenger vehicles
• Sprinter 14-pin adapter: selected early Sprinter T1N and NCV3 models

These adapters are sold separately.

Diagnostic History and Reports

The DE V4.0 stores diagnostic history so previously tested vehicles and scan results can be accessed again later. Reports can also be saved, shared and printed using a compatible Windows computer connected through USB.

Supported Languages

The DE V4.0 supports 15 interface languages: English, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Czech, Swedish, Russian, Hungarian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Danish and Finnish.
