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

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.

Great product. This was easy to use, connected straight onto my BMW obd Port, and pulled up the engine faults, most of which were old ones. Easy to delete them. BMW charge around £90 for a diagnostic test. You can do your own using this and then visit your dealer ‘informed’ rather than as a lamb to the slaughter!

Seems to work really well with my E60 (5 series). The only downside is the lack of instructions as to what the various options are - it's a bit cryptic in places. maybe some instructional videos on common usage scenarios would be good. or maybe a Wiki. But overall I'm pleased with my purchase, especially at the Lightning Deal price.

Excellent device. Worth every penny. Needed to reset and calibrate a BMW e92 steering angle sensor and it does this and much more than a normal tool. I will only need this 1 tool from now on as you can download each unique brand software package for a extra cost. Free updates too.

Very good scanner works well.However i have yet to test it on coding hardware to the car.All in all it has already paid for itself in a space of 2 months

Arrived promptly and well packaged, had an initial problem registering the device as it said it was already registered but Foxwell sorted this out really quickly, very impressed so far.

Worked exactly as hoped for. Probably more than paid for itself on first scan alone. Expect this to become ever more useful as the car gets older.

This would put years on you waiting for it to load the interface.Its ok, does the job on BMW E46 and has free software update for BMW with the options to purchase other cars software.If you dont mind waiting for it to load on every screen, its fine. It's well built, durable materials and rubber bump protection.

I bought this to reset an AGM battery as most shops that could do programmable battery resets were charging around $200 to do it anyway. It worked fine for that job and is a pretty comprehensive diagnostics tool on top of it with the ability to reset future batteries as well, so the cost savings is pretty obvious. The only criticism I can give it is also a bit of a benefit. The menus are quite simplistic for the vast range of functions it provides so navigating around takes a little getting used to at first. But if you have even the slightest aptitude for using devices like these it is not a problem and it will do just about anything you need to do with an 06 or higher BMW except for direct programming of the ECU itself. This not only gave me a history of previous battery programming operations but programmed my new battery pretty easily and showed me that the dealership who installed my previous battery never even bothered to reset it, and that was the reason I had charging issues and early failure of the one they had installed.

Good simple product. Sofar been able to to what I need it to.

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

this has worked for the moment for the airbag code on my e92

A bit slow to update and read through Ecu other that works great
