Icarsoft 2 any good?

Norcat · Jun 22nd, 2023, 20:34

Hi I am a highly delighted new Volvo owner as of today after owning Saabs for 40 yrs I have now bought a 2013 Ocean Race spec diesel V60.
I do all my own maintainance as a former Jaguar and Volvo car mechanic, and have just done full restorations on 4 Volvo Amazons in the last 2 years for a friend. One is a sleeper as its an estate built up to 123 GT spec and I fitted an overdrive as it had power to spare.
My question is do the members think the Icarsoft 2 is the right bit of kit for this car, will it code injectors and get into things like blindzone cameras etc.
I have an Icarsoft for my Jaguar and its saved me a fortune especially when I had problems with the HID self levelling sensors.
So to recap Icarsoft 2 or..?
Also does anyone know where I can get a workshop manual either book or download for an Ipad.
I want to change all the fluids and especially replace the ATF as its just done 100,000 miles and I like to zero time a car when I first acquire it.
Also anything I should look out for be aware of on this car.
Many thanks in advance and look forward to learning more on this forum.

Welcome. Icarsoft works OK for my 2015/ 2016 V60 Polestar. Also for my previous 2006 Saab Aero convertible, not so for my wife's 2020 Mazda.

Without going full on dealer clone computer the V2.0 or V3.0 is about as good as you'll get. Mine saved me its purchase price first time I used it.
