FOXWELL NT510 Elite Scan Tool fit for BMW Scanner Full Diagnostic Tool OBD2 Scanner, All System Bi-Directional Control Code Reader with All Reset Services, Battery Registration Tool fit for BMW Mini

Not difficult to use even for first timers. After a non dealer battery replacement plugged it in, did the reset and checked for error codes easily. New oem battery and scanner cost less than the dealer replacement, and now I can check any other issues I have and do resets if required. It's a great bit of kit!

The product was defective. It would work when connected to a usb port, but don't power up when connected to my car. Other obd scanners work in my car. So the cable or the connector on the cable of the device is faulty. I returned it. I also am not sure if this seller is legitimate. The box look like it was either used or tossed around a lot. The product might even be a second hand device.

Man darf natürlich keine Wunder erwarten. Als kleiner vorab check zu empfehlen. Funktioniert wie beschrieben " in Englisch "

This unit did the job for me. I needed to delete the Transport Mode on my BMW Z4 (E85). Easy to use and fixed my issue in not time.. saving me a trip to the tech shop.

Bought this product as I had a confusing array of warnings coming up on my BMW - which were affecting the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and therefore the control of the car. Checking on line forums etc. the fault could have been with a wheel speed sensor or it could have been the DSC/ABS control unit. The difference in cost ranging from £100 to £1700 for repair!! Trouble was, I didn't know where the fault actually was and I really didn't want to put the car into a BMW service centre and potentially get the run round and a very big bill. So, after some research, opted for this little beauty and I am so glad I did. It's not the cheapest, but the cheaper variants out there tend to only do the engine management codes and not the additional ones that I needed. Plugged in to the OBD2 socket and followed the on screen instructions to automatically upload my vehicle VIN and complete an auto scan. Just so easy to do. Scan revealed that the left rear wheel sensor had a "plausibility issue" - that immediately pinpointed the problem area. I cleaned up the dubious sensor (just in case) and took the car for a test drive - the DSC problem was still there. So with the NT510 connected and receiving live data - the ability to select all channels or specific ones is a real neat feature, I went for another test drive. It was immediately clear that the left rear wheel sensor was the problem as the recorded data showed that, every now and again, the left rear wheel was detected as going faster than the other 3 wheels (which is why the DSC system was trying to compensate) - see attached graphs. I bought a new sensor from BMW (£104), fitted it myself and, using the NT510, cleared all fault codes and went for another test drive with no more problems. Hugely impressed with the NT510 - it saved me a lot of time (not needing to book the car in for inspection) and clearly showed me exactly where the problem lay, allowing me to fix it myself - just for the cost of the parts. Had I not been able to fix it, I still would have been much better placed for engaging with the service centre. As a bonus, I was also able to use the NT510 on my daughter's mini and able to clear a number of faults that had been stored on the ECU and prove that the car was in good order. This is not a piece of kit you would use every day, but a great investment that has undoubtedly paid for itself in just one use . A really useful addition to my tool/diagnostic kits. Only down side was that the supporting software (for unit updates) provided on CD, was only for PCs (not Macs) and when I tried loading it on an old PC laptop, it threw up a virus waring, so I didn't load it. This seems to be quite a common issue with software originating from China.

works well

Perfecto
