Foxwell NT530 Scanner loaded with the BMW software (€177) (Software for other makes are available for download at $60 a pop) is the ONLY low-cost tool I’ve ever seen that support multiple OEMs.This is a big program that was developed for dealerships and used Parts and wiring diagrams exploded views etc etc. This like having a shop manual on your laptop. Ista D diagnostics and guided troubleshooting all in English The most powerful tool for coding there is. It will also require effort to set up and learn to steer either

The catch is you have to know your way around a PC and it you haveĪpple products you have to run these programs inside a Virtual Its something like 50 gigs of space on a disk. It also has schematics and mechanical diagrams Ista D is like having a shop manual with guided trouble shooting. You can do any type of coding with Inpa well beyond the canned Inpa is there Engineering development tool. Ista D is what BMW used in there dealerships for years. Ista D and Inpa toghtether will do more than anything else.

Honestly the only thing generic OBD2 code readers are good for is to check emission monitor readiness and to see if someone reset the check engine light. P-codes are nearly useless for diagnosing cars. Aim: Want to purchase a BMW E90 OBD2 reader device that also lets me reset codes.
