I bought this for a 2007 BMW X3. It connects to the car with no problem, can access most control units, read/clear codes, and access SOME live data—so that’s all good. It is not able to do some functions, like component activation tests (could not check transfer case actuator, could not activate water pump, but COULD check heater door activation, so these functions are hit and miss). Connection is very slow; probably 10 minutes to load ECU data. Overall, it does much more than a basic code reader, so it’s probably worth the money. Use it once instead of going to the dealer and it pays for itself. But it can’t do everything.

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

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.

I don't leave reviews normally but this time I have to make an exception. I got the Foxwell NT510 specifically for my Mini, whose battery needed a change. I was unwilling to pay $550 to a BMW dealer service department for something so simple, however the only aspect of the battery change I wasn't capable of doing on my own was the new battery registration (which is a MUST, do NOT skip doing this). After searching for tools capable of registering a new battery, I found the Foxwell NT510.I'm familiar with a variety of OBD II scanners and diagnostic tools, and that's essentially what the NT510 is. You can perform a code scan like you do with any OBD II scanner, but more than that, this scanner and the software that accompanies it can arm you with the ability to diagnose specific manufacturer codes that other scanners can't do. For my purposes, the process of registering my battery using the NT510 was unbelievably easy. I found the correct menu and my battery was registered in under a minute. After doing another diagnostic test, my ECM was functioning perfectly with the new battery.The tool itself is a good quality piece. It comes wrapped in a chunky rubber cover, which feels solid and gave me confidence that it would survive any drop. The unit is both USB and SD card capable, though I primary connect using USB, the extra option would be handy for some people. The buttons are also fairly chunky and respond to presses with no problems, and I could press them easily through work gloves. The screen is bright enough to see and read text clearly. The menus are also straightforward and I did not find myself getting lost in them while looking for an option. Finally, the software is useful and apparently allows you to download other manufacturers' code dictionaries and capabilities. Not necessary for me at the moment, but perhaps in the future.Only markdown I gave Foxwell was on tech support, due to some translation issues with the product manual. It wasn't hard to read and figure out what I was supposed to do, but the English translation could certainly be cleaner. Nothing that bothered me, though.

Amazing! Lots of features, worked out of the box before updates, auto scanned & identified my vehicle quickly! We own several BMW's , so having a BMW specific scan tool to give detailed info specifically for BMW codes was important for quick and accurate diagnosis instead of purchasing a generic "all makes" OBD II scanner. I love BMW's & currently own an E46 M3, E92 M3 & an F82 M4 and will probably own many others in the future. When I first got the E46 M3, I had the BMW specific Peake Research R5FCX3-16 which worked well for that generation of vehicle, but Peake seemed to have died off/stopped making products to support 2008+ models so I looked at other options incl BT tool, Schaben/Foxwell NT510, Carly, Carista, and a couple others which required connecting to a laptop.Based on reviews from various bmw forums (M3forum, bimmerforums, M3post, E90post, obdadvisor, etc) I narrowed down my choices. I use Apple/Mac & didn't want to be tied to a computer to diagnose any issues with my vehicle plus many were only for PC/Windows computers. I wasn't sure about how future use/support would be on models that connected to my iPhone, so I decided to further narrow my choices down to a stand alone model. After a lot of research & reviews, I narrowed it down to the Foxwell NT510.I recently failed a CA smog check inspection on my E92 M3 with a sensors not ready for the O2 sensors after having the battery replaced or when I got a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and they reset the TPMS sensors. All OBD II data logging was erased and I failed smog inspection. The shop generically told me to drive 200 mi, come back & hope its ready. I looked up the "BMW drive cycle" and in about 30 minutes completed hooked it up to the NT510 and the I/M Readiness showed all sensors were ready/OK. Knowing that it was ready, took it back to the smog station and passed! Saved me from aimlessly driving my car 200 mi & going back to the smog station not knowing if it would pass or not.It auto scanned & identified my M3 & scanned all the systems with a summary stating 0 error codes found. Great diagnostic tool!I'm sure this scanner will come in handy for battery registration,Unfortunately it doesn't work with/you can't update with a Mac, so I had to take it to work to use a PC. Also the coding options seem limited. I was hoping it could activate custom features like mirror folding on lock, 5 quick blinks, high beam alarm activation, angel eye brightness, etc. I haven't found it capable of doing custom coding and activation. The manual is useless, but luckily its easy to use. But its positives outweigh the negatives!

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.
