I completely agree with Shags and Ima2nr. However, I understand where the maker is coming from also and perhaps his target market are people more like me. I have 3 mclarens here in the Philippines and we have no dealer (there will be one soon to open but I'm not sure they will work on personal import cars or might charge a hefty fee). There is really no choice to run to a dealer to scan the car. Or perhaps people that don't have dealers nearby and would have to drive a considerable time to just get work done on their vehicles. I still find it expensive and will sit on the sidelines especially that some workshops here now have some diagnostics tools already and simply charge a fee per scan.

Fellow Mclaren Owners, I write from the Philippines, where for years we have had no dealer support (dealer is only about to open now and we are not sure if non-dealer cars will even be serviced and if ever they do, it might be for a big fee) hence several of us Mclaren owners shared to buy the software together with the shop where we bring our cars to for repair. Essentially 5 of us shared to buy the software.

It has been a great tool for the short time we have had it. The software is easy to use and can do a lot of things... it has programmed a new key to my 12C and assist in replacing the accumulators on my 720S by showing live data on the pressures of the hydraulic suspension system. The common stuff like finding out what's wrong with the car is a breeze with the software.

Lastly, Younis is correct here, in that they offer full support in guiding you how to repair your car and what strategies can be used. The whatsapp group they formed is helpful too as you can get real time advice for your Mclaren needs. There is good service advice provided by technicians that is an extra service when purchasing the software.

Still, I understand that it might be cheaper to just bring it to the dealer. But for people that live far from the dealer or could form a group to share the cost, I think it's a pretty good investment. I surely could not have bought it just for myself and one car. But since I found 5 other close friends who all live in the same area and can go to one specialist, sharing the cost came out relatively cheap and easy to bear.

Cheers.

infomercial?

nope. just saying my actual experience coming from a country where there was no Mclaren dealer for years since I had my 12C in 2012 and I had to fly in Mclaren techs from Singapore just to service my car. just wanted to give some positive feedback about their product that I use.
