That's what I was thinking when I got it. Sure, I have others that will do more.. but they also cost 5 times more. This will do pretty much everything you need it to do for a good price.

Does it only just read & delete the fault codes or it can also help programme the functions of interior exterior lights, windows, central locking system AC and the whole nine yards?

Its a very good scanner the scanner do the job well can also register the BMW battery,ABS,check,delete codes with no problem for sure too say it easy thnxs a lot;) but of course the video speak for this 100 say it that way.

Just received my BM700 scanner for my 2009 e89 and decided to give it a try. I know your demo was on your 5 series and the ecu is a little more sophisticated than my e89 but have you tried the I/M function on your e89? The one thing I couldn't bring up is the I/M readiness menu. It's not shown on the screen like in your demo (3 ecu choices) and it doesn't show up on the display by simply pressing the I/M function button, Am I missing something? or are the I/M readiness faults (if any) stored in just the one ecu menu? In your battery registration BM700 video (while scanning your e89) I noticed at the 3:24 mark there is an option to clear all fault codes would that be a viable option? or should the faults be cleared one at a time?

@SimpleCarGuy

Make sure your car is in accessory mode when checking I/M, other than that it should work.

Then I take it one at a time and erase one module at a time as I fix the issues. Thanks for watching!

@SimpleCarGuy

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Steve! This is a BMW specific scanner. It is a bi-directional scanner (meaning it can write to modules, like registering a battery, programming injectors etc.). These functions will only be available for BMW (Mini and RR) cars. The regular OBD2 scanning will work on any car, including the Audi, but you will not see internal codes or be able to do any of the bi-directional functions. It will act as a standard OBD2 scanner (that can be found for $20) on all cars that aren't BMWs. So, your options are to get this one for BMWs and find an equivalent for the Audi OR get a multi car scanner that can do both (and many others), but those start at around $400. I'm in the process of reviewing one of these and will have a video out in a week or so: amzn.to/2VYJrI9
