Saved me tons of money
I had my x3 crank shaft pulley replaced at a “german car specialist” and after the repair showing a check engine, the owner was telling me that the DME was bad and need to be replaced. I ended up driving the car home with a check engine warning. I did a full scan using this device and clear all the error codes, drove about a hundred miles now and still no warning lights on the dashboard. This device was already paid for it self. Highly recommended for bm owners.

Great product and easy to follow. Perfect if you don’t want to spend the big cash. The battery revision itself pays it off for the cost st the dealer

Does SOOOOOOO Many Things others Didnt
I dont waste my time writing click bait reviews but this product was far, far, far more than I imagined.....It does "normal" OBD stuff but also critically gives specific info for my vehicle type I thought could require some $500-$600 scanner to get (example Mini Footwell Module, an expensive problem if you have it). it also resets batteries, oil change or service intervals snd does a far, far deeper dive into codes than my one generic to all vehicles. It found like another 15 codes that flagged at least once in 10 year old vehicles lifetime but once reset, havent come back in 9 mos. Car drives perfectly, so obviously NBD. Another example? When I replaced by battery rather than pay someone $130 to "reset" things, I found all it resets is date of replacement. Who cares what date unless a warranty claim and thats what paper receipt is for. If battery is bad, its bad. Replace it you dont get home. Simple. Only thing i wish it had was a TPMS reset for tire sensors. But with 10 year old vehicle, its likely a code is a dead battery and only way to fix that is replace the sensor for $25 rather than spending $50 to find out its old. it also gives general OBD scan codes for other vehicles. I saved my buddy $175 by diagnosing his check engine light with more specific"cylinder 6 misfire" preventing mechanic from replacing his MAP sensor which was wrong diagnosis, period. If/when I get different car, I'll buy another one specific to that type as its just sooooo valuable to figure out codes in literally under a minute rather than taking to someone who will charge you $75 to open the hood.

Works well
Exactly product. Working as intended

Works as advertised, menus can be a bit convoluted
Works for BMWs, was useful for parking brake deactivation for a brake job. Only reason to remove one star is that the menus aren't straightforward and sometimes the Active/De-active meaning can be the opposite.

Was able to read 2 different makes.
This OBD has pulled 3 different codes from 2 of our cars. I haven't had to use it lately but I will probably keep it in my trunk with my tire inflater. Very useful! No need to drive to Autozone.
