I know a lot of people have these & are quite happy with them.

But tbh I have one but dont use it after it nuked the obc in my brothers 740.

We had used it before with no probs & on this occasion did nothing differently-it just went nuts -$1100 nuts !!!!

Personally I'd just be getting a peake (or similar) reset tool or code reader.

Bit too much current draw Mark/Rotty? Can happen with a test light too. I couldn't comment on the cheaper scanners, have only been given the learn on middle of the range toys.

yeah thats the one i have. can vouch for them. used them on various bimmers with good results. does quite a bit of stuff. Resets all modules together or individually, does live data logging etc. quite tric for the price. Sorry i didnt check your location, if you are from wellington your welcome to come have a look.

@ 1Rotty: they arent compatible with E38s for some reason as stated on the packaging/install disks and software, so assuing the above mentioned 740 was an E38, that would be why.

Interesting-thats definitely not mentioned anywhere on mine. I've had it for 3yrs so maybe the chinese have had hassles lol.

Only other similar prob i know of,now you mention it,was also an e38 dude on Bfest

Hi..anyone bought or used one of these..any good?

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-294648868.htm

Or anyone in Christchurch able to reset / scan E36 SRS light

Yup i have one, Used it on both my e36 and e46 with no problems, I can reset the airbag light if you want but unless you have fixed the problem that triggered it it will just come back.
