Recommendations for OBD2 Scanner?
Sorry if this has been posted before, but I did a search and couldn't find any info.
I would like to start coding my G05, but am having trouble finding recommendations for a good scanner. Anyone want to recommend one? TIA |

There is a ton of info on this forum about coding (don't limit your search to just the X5 forum), but basically you need to determine what you want to code (which option/feature), then determine what method/software you want to use (i.e. E-Sys, Carly, Bimmercode, etc) and then see what OBD adapter/cable will work best with that software. For example, E-Sys works best with an Ethernet adapter, while Bimmercode lists supported adapters on their website. I would suggest you do more research to understand what you're getting into and how deep you want to get into it. BMW releases i-step upgrades pretty regularly, and every time you will lose all coding and will need to be prepared to re-code. |
