Anyone have experience with the above tool? Please note I don't have the computer skills (nor do I want them) to be able to install and use NCSexpert, INPA, tool32, whatever it's called, and I've read enough horror stories about Carly and bricking of FRM, etc. All this being said, seems like a good option that's a bit more affordable than bavtech tool.

I saw it and asked ECS if the tool would do various adaptation resets and they had no idea and said I needed to contact the manufacturer directly.

Some questions, although I'm guilty of just scanning over the ad and not reading it in detail:

* Coding injectors
* Coding new battery
* Service resets (oil, brakes, etc.)
* Reset FRM

If it can do all, or most, of these I'd be in.

I ordered one last Saturday and per FedEx it is scheduled to arrive today. Just the simple fact it can code a battery makes it worth the price of admission.

I've been trying to download the pdf from the site without any success.

I would love to know what the scan tool can do. I am curious myself if it can do the simple stuff like code out bulb checks and if it can do some of the custom stuff like 5 blinker turn signals, mirror folding, window roll up? One big thing for me wrapping up my NBT retrofit is if it can code out SOS not working check control.

Have you tried this out? How are the capabilities in terms of activations, codings, if any?

Thanks!
Simon

Not yet, I'm still trying to read through the instruction manual. Perhaps I should have ordered that online speed reading course first.

So I asked Foxwell the same question in the post above and they responded with the following function list of what it can do. I also couldn't find the product on Foxwell so they sent me a pic of the model name on their website.

I'm just sad it doesn't offer software updates via MacOS. I'll still get it that's for sure.

Install parallels or any other virtual OS type software or bootcamp, that will do it for updates.

Definitely gonna look into this tool and probably order in few days. seems to be very nice tool for reasonable price.

ECS answers a lot of these questions under the Q&A section of the product page. $200 for something that will retract EPB's, codes and graphs on top of retrieving BMW specific codes is a good deal.

I have XP on my old MacBook, but that's not the point for convenience.

Let me know about the battery coding because I'll get one if that is the case as well. Do you know what other coding functions it has?

Q: Can this code injectors and new battery on 2008 BMW 135i?

A: Yes it can!

[Welcome to NBA Jam]

That's a pretty impressive list of functions for such a small unit. I might pick one up in the future when it goes on sale.

I got it no problem

[sp1tfire]

Received mine today. So far looks great. Everything very user friendly and basic tasks were done in few min after unpacking. Finally no extra lights on the dash.
Had many errors and was delaying it, while trying to set up INPA and/or looking for another options.
Cleared almost all errors, now trying to figure out how to program FRM module (first error) and research second (A66A FZD READING FRONT LEFT) which seems to be the one of the reading lamps that has loose connection and i have to bend its housing a bit.
Later will pick up new battery and register that.

[Greyfox]

Anyone had any more experience with the tool?

Just wondering how well it is working.

- Updates can be skipped; sequential installation of updates is not required.

NT510 scanner test report Fail experience::

Where to buy Foxwell NT510 Multi-System Scanner?
Make sure buy from an authorized Foxwell dealer with good quality device and fine after-sales service, more importantly able to register at official site foxwelltech.com. FYI, I bought from the dealer www.foxwelltool.com, the customer service is helpful when I have any issue, they response quickly.

I've had mine a few months. I also have the BT Scan tool (professional version) as well. For the price, the Schwaben tool is worth buying for two reasons: 1) portability and durability, 2) It reads both OBDII codes and has all the functions of a BMW scan tool as well. I keep it in my car. And in fact used it today to read a check engine light (VANOS) solenoid.

[Greyfox]

I had forgotten all about this post. I bought the unit several months ago after my car wouldn't start and it ended up at the dealership on a flatbed with me not having a clue of what was wrong.
