It seems like many if not most are comfortable even coding with bluetooth and smartphones...it kind of makes me wonder why we would have bothered with the bav tech and ISTA's of the world....I haven't made that leap and still prefer to plug in a laptop, but I guess this behavior is like being a dinosaur... |

It was because I didn't have it to tell me what was wrong that the car ended up at the dealership. |

So is there any difference in function between the foxwell NT510 and the Schwaben version? I know that with the Foxwell you can add other makes not just BMW. With the Schwaben scan tool, can you also add non-BMW software later on?

So can anybody confirm the difference in function between the foxwell and the schawaben branded units? The Schwaben unit costs an extra $20 and is a different color, is there anything else lol?

Mine works great BTW. Found my "SES" light was from a dirty solenoid. Cleaned it (not replaced) and it fixed the problem....that right there saved me $140. Damn near paid for itself on the first day. Last edited by 9iron; 09-12-2016 at 08:33 PM.. Reason: spelling |

Well, mine just gave me a serious peace of mind. Had to drive the car to the indy shop that is going to replace the water pump. Monitored the engine and radiator temp and the rpm of the water pump the whole way there to make sure if the water pump died on the way I would know.

From the Q&A on the ECS page and after a search of the BMW Functions List, it appears you cannot change the battery type (AGM <-> flooded cell). I'm assuming you can register the same type of battery with a different Ah rating!?
Certainly is a good tool that seems to be pretty reliable and easier to use than a PC based system. |

I bought the ECS unit.
It has more than paid for itself with airbag & service resets and pointing me towards a faulty vanos (problem gone). |

What was the issue with the airbag? After all this Takata stuff, I'm beginning to question if say the warning goes on and the airbag is disabled, is it better to leave it as such? (the thought is just like something doesn't usually spontaneously combust, and airbag lamp doesn't just turn on for no reason) My Nissan was the first year that side airbags came out on the Maxima, and over the years I've reset it hundreds of times, rather than buying a new module which was in the $800 ballpark. Now I leave it disabled.

Gotcha--when I removed my DSC hydro pump, and turned the ignition on (not to start the car but to see the mileage), the car went berzerk--all kinds of fault codes related to velocity, including the airbag. Wipers went on full blast and could not be turned off. googling and searching only lead to a few posts, and a person here was good enough to respond to a PM when the thread was years old. The implication was that the condition was 90% due to turning the ignition on with the DSC hydro out. Upon reinstallation, the faults all cleared upon their own.

The tool can do lots of good things, like register a new battery (as long as it is the same spec). BUT, it will not 1) code a battery with a different Amp/hour rating, and 2) switch battery types (from wet to AGM or vice versa). I confirmed this with Foxwell tech support after trying to find it on my scanner. Latest firmware update did not add this simple feature so if enough owners request a feature maybe it will happen????
