Hopefully ECS tuning can work something out for the Schwaben with foxwell for the same deal. I forget, what model does the Schwaben show up as in the updater tool?

I just learned this about the schwaben scan tool the other day.

It will allow you to switch from a non-AGM battery to a new battery, that is AGM, and register it as an AGM battery.

Can anyone confirm this tool can activate a new FRM3 Footwell Module in an E90 M3? Mine has fried and I need to install a new one. The pdf seems to indicate it will activate an FRM2 but it could just be an old list.

Really! I wasn't trying to change my battery, but, in playing around with it I only saw register battery. Did I need to drill down further in that function to find the registration ability?

I was curious if you successfully did this? I have the tool and tried to switch from lead to AGM and it gives an error. It was happy to register the new battery but ignored my attempts to change type or AH with error messages after entering the supplier/polarity codes (which I made up since they were not on my new battery).

I tried this too. I just replaced my battery with an AGM. I had to use iCarly.

What exact steps did you use? Did you change AGM type first, then AH, then register? Did it prompt you for the battery codes each time and what did you pick for battery codes (it supposedly doesn't matter)?

Thanks!

I just tried the Ah change and AGM change functions and it would not do it. This is with the latest software from Foxwell.

It doesn’t do it. Registering and Recoding to AGM are two different things. Read the countless threads about it. I owned the Schwaben and returned it cause I feel like Carly does everything but bleed brakes, reset adaptations, register injectors. But I rather do simple coding and still be able to clear/read faults with Carly for cost effectiveness. My e82 works with Carly and an eBay $14.50 green motherboard K+DCAN cable when set to Expert Mode in the app so I don’t even have to mess with Bluetooth/WiFi adapters.
Carly Pro BMW Android App ($58.99) + ($9.99) battery in-app purchase + ($14.50) K+DCAN cable + ($3) Monoprice OTG adapter = $86.50 versus $150 Schwaben when on sale.

It would be a good idea to have the schwaben scan tool & Carly. You get the best of both worlds

Based on your analysis, I decided to buy Carly pro today. My immediate needs are battery and coding. ESC tuning had the schwaben for $149 with free shipping. Maybe in the future. Thanks for all the details on capabilities.

I have both. I always carry the Carly adapter in my car and it's convenient when travelling since the app is on your phone. For everything else, I use the Schwaben, plus I can use it on other cars such as my Honda, etc.

I got mine yesterday, I really like it and could have used it for a few things that the Carly Pro app can't do or see.



Here is a link to some more screen shots.

Will the Foxwell tool clear permanent codes? I replaced my glow plugs and glow plug control module and now keep getting "lost communication with glow plug module", an EGR and intake error codes which would comprise the three things I unplugged to get to the control module.
I can clear the pending codes every time I get in the car with my OBDLink app but this is a serious PITA to do every time. I clear the codes and have taken several drives hoping the codes would just clear to no avail. Thanks in advance!

Foxwell NT510

Bought it today from the manufacturer based on your post, NT510 Multi-System Scanner with 1 Free Car Brand Software+OBD Item No.SC283 BMW,Mini,Rolls Royce - English - $149.00! Plus I could buy other vehicle options as needed. I just took delivery of my beautiful 2011 BMW E93 Black with Fox Red and Black interior last week! Thank you tclippinger

Enjoy.
