Click Here To Buy The Autel IM608 : amzn.to/3pPY4xg
Another good video! I’m still looking to purchase a tool but the IM608 won’t be in my budget range as I’m not a shop but I do callouts to run diagnostics and tweaks and currently only have VCDS. I’m hoping to do retrofits and tweaks on other cars the likes of BMW and Mercedes should I consider that OTOFIX or go ahead as planned and get the MK908P? Thanks for any helpful insight BMW Doctor! Jack
👀
I’m so damn confused 🤷♂️ which is the best coding and programming scan tool with key programming ?? Otofix m1 or Autel 908p !! I don’t want buy something I don’t need pls help
I have a question for you so please bear with me as I describe my problem, which will determine which diagnostic computer I should buy as I need one for general maintenance, regardless. But right now I have a pressing issue: I lowered my wife’s ‘16 F82 M4 and I installed the KW Height Adjustable System, which is just a coil over add on system to retain the factory EDC dampers and push button control. The problem I’m having is the ECM senses a problem with the height sensors on the front dampers after I lowered the front about an inch and a half +/- and this causes the car to lock me out of the sport + (M2) feature and locks the suspension in the efficient setting. I sent the car to the dealer but they weren’t very savvy and the service advisor had an aftermarket coil over/replacement strut system where an EDC delete setup is appropriate, and that’s all he knew so he recommended it to me, not understanding it would defeat the purpose of the system I chose for my wife’s car to keep the functionality close to stock. Many people have had this problem online with various fixes that sometimes do and don’t work. I had a couple extra low mileage used height sensors and tried all 4, yet still had the same problem, plus the car was fine before I installed to coil overs. So I feel pretty secure in assuming the sensors are functioning properly. That only leaves the associated wires/connectors - maybe they got pinched, seems dubious but it’s possible. My guess is I can raise this car back up to stock height and eliminate the height sensor faults, but that’s not an option. Can I trick the fault code with Ista or the Otto tool by coding it differently? What would you recommend I do next, because I don’t want to take a stab in the dark by buying new sensors and wires, because I doubt that will fix my problem, though I’ve seen one or two people online have luck doing that. I’ve also seen people spend the money, eliminate the problem, only for it to return in hours or days. Any help you’re willing to give would be appreciated. Cheers from America.
you say its "not worth the headache" of dealing with the "inconvenience" of a laptop. But that linked scan tool is $3000 GBP. $3000! I can download ISTA for FREE. And I get that if your a pro, you're doing this so often its worth it. BUT, if you're really a pro, what are you doing on youtube watching videos like these??
Yeah dude sold out.
Agreed. Please can you share the free ista link to download
Looking for the free ISTA download link as well please?
I tried looking and couldn't find any dl links.
Wiring diagrams ALONE are worth buying a pawn-shop laptop & loading it up with black market software
😅🤣😅😂
For me personally I would rather use ISPA P / D as that is what the BMW technicians use and gives in depth repair manuals and servicing manuals that go with it. All the other tools are 3rd party that is a best effort service. Each to his own when it comes to what you would like to use but for me ... ISTA all the way
What’s the best way to get ISPA?
@@RolexCowboy I used bimmerscene its free and doesnt make you pm someone or use a download server in the middle of nowhere
i agree :)
For the electrical diagnostic it’s the easiest way, and the Chinese tools like Launch, Xtool or Autel will not do even have a half of features, especially actuation tests, I’ve used each of them. They good for reading the codes and for go out diagnostic
With ISTA i agree!! BUT real coding BMW E-Sys with Launcher, MB SCN coding Vediamo and DTS Monaco, seedcalcs and so on. Have IM608 and MaxiSys Elite, but when i had to code paddle shifters to MB only helped Vediamo, so its not so magical tablets that can do everything. Thanks for videos!!!!
Agree, i have im608 pro, eysys, vcds, c4 multiplexer for vediamo& monaco. But prefer these programs and software for coding. Simple diagnose i use im608. Last time i used im608 in ford focus st225 could not read dtc because of mill on, used forscan after that and show dtc about lambda control bank 1 sensor 2. So i need different tools to do the job. Next tool i want is SMOK uhds.
Thanks for this video. I have an F25 lci and the rear camera has just up and stopped working I am told it is software and needs ista to turn it back on.
What scan tool would have that capability.
I don’t want anything with a subscription
Thanks
What tool do you recommend to diagnose a 2006 R52 base convertible . I think I have a Speed Sensor issue but can’t identify which wheel. My symptoms are ABS, Tire pressure, check engine (P1613) lights and wacky temperature gauge.
Thank you for all the videos. What scanner with a good price point will program fuel pump modules etc.. I Have have an e90 as well as an f30 . Any help would be great. Be well,
can it reprogram an lcm module from ebay to another car? register the new vin change settings ect?
Hi Dean.
When are you going to upload a video using IM608 to reset FRM module on the bench?
Appreciate the wisdom and recommendations as always, but what about a more affordable option for people who aren't able to drop hundreds-thousands on scan tools?
@@GCguru aye but then you need to fork out for icom and a voltage regulator which will probably work out the same so doesn't seem to be any better option
@@GCguru or good ol' Inpa + chinesium cable combo.
@@anonymousdcal voltage regulator for what?
@@TheTAEclub I believe that's a humorous way of saying "laptop".
@@OURBENEFACT0RS No it's not - when BMW hook up ISTA to our cars in the dealership they hook the battery up to a voltage regulator to ensure that it doesn't either overload or not have enough charge. You can actually brick an entire DME and other systems on our cars if your battery isn't up to the job when you try coding - having the voltage regulator is a failsafe against this, albeit it one that most people cannot afford.
Dean, which model should I get the D1 and D1 Lite as far as our E92 M3 & E60 M5 applications? I can only find the D1 Lite in US. Do you have a link for the D1 Lite so I can support you?
D1 Lite support all system diagnostics and 28+ service functions and some other functions for most of vehicles.
D1 support all system diagnostics and 28+ service functions + bi-directional control function for most of vehicles.I’m assuming D1 Lite is not Bi-directional; do I need it to be? I have a E92 M3, E60 M5, & F10 535D Thanks
I purchased an Autel MaxiCheck MK808 for my F01. It was waaaay worth the money. I looked up that scan tool and the programming looks exactly like Autel's, but it cost more than the Autel I purchased. The only feature it has I didnt want was the bluetooth function.
Can you do stuff like in ISTA to do a valvetronic relearn where it cycles the eccentric shaft to max and min lift over 200 times? Need to do mine
I have Autel MaxiSys and its been brilliant you just buy the modules you need and boom it has practically every dealer level function available.
@@GodKing804 there are a lot of relearn functions but I’m not sure about that one.
This clown really told people to stop using dealer level diagnostic software lol
What would you recommend for motorcycles?
What would be the best software/tool to use on an f-series 340i to recode injectors and code m performance brakes if I install the upgraded brake kit?
Can you recomand a tool for speaking with the ABS block ? The block has been changed i think i got to pair it with the car to initiate the purge . BMW E53 2001 3.0i .

Will said scanner reprogram a new headlight to a BMW after a collision repair?
Hello
We have a week bmw service in Egypt can we ask for a training courses or any method to share your knowledge to us , because we are trying to have perfect service to our cars without complaining
ISTA wins for me because of the workshop manuals. So annoying that its not publicly available especially for the older cars like my e87. Haynes manual and youtube doesnt solve everything.
even things like torque values - this should be freely available. when i buy a washing machine i get a manual with all this stuff. Why should it be any different for a car. i know if i do certain things it will void the warranty.
Hey Dean, thanks! Just bought one of these. Do you know if you can buy the IM1 separately? I don't see it linked or for sale separate from the D1. THANKS!
How do I delete DME evap purge valve fault memory in ISTA without deleting any other fault code?
Hi!! Asm videos!! I have an autel mx808 scanner, it has the battery register function, but in the option to change the new capacity battery, it not give me the different ah and/or agm option to chose, current battery its a 80ah lead acid flooded, and i bought a new oem bmw 90ah agm battery, i don't know if that the encoding only can make with an insta p?
Can this scanner energise the egr on the F31 so it can be refit after cleaning
Dear Doctor, how to program, code a replacement transfercase and calibrate that transfercase on a 330xD.
VTG failure, rattling noise, thing is mechanically gone.
Got a used replacement need to reset calibration and reset oil.
Can’t do it with carsoft scanner
I have 8 different car manufacturers scan tools on my $50 laptop, can cheap scan tools do this?
Hello Dean, I have an R56 mini and need to code a new JBE Module, what tool would you recommend?
What is the difference between d1 and d1 lite? Is it worth buying a light version ?
will that tool read my individual wheel speeds on the e91 lci ?
hello MR. BMW Docter, thank you for your Wisdom !!
looking at your movie's you goth my trust and i have a question.
i have a BMW K1600GT out 2010 ( my first BMW ) and i use MOTOSCAN it's a basic diagnose tool, does not do every thing.
i want to upgrade my diagnose tool to do my own maintenance, and like to skip the dealer in total.
am I better off whit a GS 911 or get something els ?
Dealer tool is best choice if you want to be able to do pretty much everything.
So what software can i use as im wanting to do a service on the DCT gearbox?
Need help,, 08 x5 4.8 tc Actuator seem to be malfunctioning,, gear looks good ,, but awd dsc warning lights come on,, so I pull th tc unit gear looks good ,,, could it be the motor to the tc ,, or should I replace everything,,,
thanks for your efforts and detailing. based on their website they don't cover older models as I'm looking for e31. staying with inpa or ista or what is better and easier? appreciate. cheers
would you not be better with a generic scan tool since thats based on older less complicated technology?
For older bmws you need ADS interface and INPA/DIS
What is the best tool available this day in age I see this was made a while back. Pls let me know your top choice. When I tryed to click the link on your previous post. It say Amazon can not pull up the page
Can you register a new battery with OTOFIX?
issue with 2014 BMW 535d F10 N57 Diesel Countdown issue upstream Nox sensor replaced but no start last attempt. any ideas Gents
Which scan tool do you recommend?
I don't work for a dealership, I'm not even a mechanic. I do however service my own F30. Is there a way, a cheap way, of adding my own service record to the IDrive service history? Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work.
Well explained, for me I will stick with Ista, I never need to do any key coding
where do you get ista, and what is the best version for just diagnostics?
I had tried at least 6 different scan tools to try and diagnose an ABS light on my 1998 BMW Z3. None have been able to communicate with the module. The module has no power so that not being the problem,I thought replacing the module would solve the problem. I replaced it with one with the EXACT same P/N to prevent recoding and still can not communicate with any scanner. Would the Otofix have any problem communicating with my E36 built in 11/97?
I believe you have to hook up to the dlc connector under the hood in that model.
Can this program my ABS for my BMW Motorcycle?
Will this tool work well on a 2002 E46?
Can it relearn a valvetronic motor start and end points on 2008 328xi?
Hi can these scan tools be used to update service history? I’ve just done an oil change on a f8x platform car and want to add it to service history, what’s the best way for me to do that?
Doc! How do you turn off start/stop on a BMW G30 530e. It’s driving me up the wall
I have the IM608PRO, best scanner I've used. Ultra is next.
I have an E53 3.0 D 2005 with Front and Rear Axel Air Shocks. I need to adjust the height and ISTA with Cable will work for £25-50
Can I get a Scan tool that will set suspension height for less than £50 ? If not... ISTA and cable... !!
PS... Great channel... My First Go To for all things BMW...
So what about repair procedures, diagrams, torque values, etc?
Which is the best scan tool ?
I know this is an older video but dr im getting a code for dme ews incorrect code ........ Can that scan tool be used for that or is ista still a good option
Can this scan tool be used on electric vehicles like BMW i3, ix3, i4 and IX? The dealership use the EOS and ISTA to active the car after replace the high voltage battery.
Hello sir do you know if there is a way to write the service history in the car ? so not the reset funktion ? thanks in advance
Check out the video in my channel, there I explain it
Other then the price to buy a laptop (which I can use for anything) and an ENET cable, ISTA cost me some time to find a download. I'm getting WIS/ASRA/XENTRY for my MB vehicle. That's the price of doing things myself. There is no way I'm going to spend hundreds or much more on a scan tool. As far as I know, scan tools don't support programming or coding, so I need ISTA anyway. That's the reality for most people who work on their own cars.
This guy is just a shill for bmw who’s ganna pay 700$ for a scan tool unless your actually a mechanic for a living
I have paid even more, and the investment has paid for itself many times over. PS - Not a mechanic for a living.
Anyone knows guys a decent guide on what metrics to read if I wanna make sure a car's odometer is not rolled back?
@BMWDoctor I got a question a few weeks ago I bought a BMW 335i e90 2007 it was running reach black smoke was coming out so I check for codes I got misfire so I decide to replace coils spark plugs and Fuel injectors, also I replace engine harness because it was reap so I replace after that I tried to turn on the car but is does not start battery is new alternator also is good it cranks everything work but it does start? Did i desconfigure the computer of the car and I have to reprogram it? Or should be something else?😩 I appreciate if you answer me btw is my first BMW thanks.
I believe you mentioned it will be able to code in 4 months any way you can do a video when that is ready
What can the OTOFIX do that a premium Autel can not? E.G. an Ultra or an IM608 Pro?
What oto model is the best I can buy ?
Any and all of those companies are driven by massive greed. Having bought one of these Autel machines to be able to program my mothers BMW. And now not having access to program anything on her car because, "I'm not subscribed". When I quite clearly paid 3k for a f'n machine that says it will program the cars I'm updated to.
I shouldn't have to have a current subscription to program cars I have updates to be able to access. When now, my subscription fee is literally the same price as or half the price of certain model scanners. Why anyone is okay paying this on top of the already ridiculous amount for the scanner is beyond me. I can't believe how the greed of humans really knows no bounds.
Is Creator 310+ still viable starter scanner tool for BMWs? They recently added throttle control module to their scanners with 12.0v update. I drive with E90 myself.
Can be used to retrofit F series
What about future subscription
Will you sell your a scaner that you dont use anymore . ?
I bought the Otofix D1 Lite and it wont zero the Steering angle sensor on a 2006 Mini Cooper S I emailed Otofix and they tell me that they dont make a tool that can do that. Although I like the tool for the money ,it is limited
Can it do service history onto i drive
Hello Doctor, first of all thank you for all the knowledge you are sharing with us, i have been struggling for few months trying to find a solution for my little problem. i had ista 4.12 on windows 7 and now i have ista 4.32 on windows 10, both with a K+dcan. i tried many installations on both software but every time i can't have (Delete adaptations the menu Service functions) it's not there..., both ista can communicate with the car ( e46 330d )... can read and delete errors.. read live values..., i can't understand why some submenu are missing.., i do vehicule identification and test at the start..., do i have to put a battery charger on the batterey while i'm using ista to have Delete adaptaions menu ? or the problem is somewhere else ? if there is someone who can help me to resolve this, it's you. i thank you in advance and sorry for my english ( i'm in France). Thx Doc :)
I don't know for sure but some people have mentioned that these options aren't available until fluids warm up to operating Temps. Did you get your issues figured out?
Cost? Your link says it's unavailable
Hi . I have a 801c20 code. Can I fix it my self, if how. Merry Christmas 🎅
Great work! Sorry if you have already answered this but which otofix do you use? I'm looking to invest
In my links there is only one OTOFIX
But can it update modules.??
I have a 2009 525d 3ltr m57, I'm having a fuelling issue, it's only using the fuel out the side of the tank the intank pump is, at the same time it is filling the other side of the tank, I'm guessing the return isn't making it back to the other side, any ideas please
I thought Carly was the best scan tool !!!!!!! LOL !!!!!!!!! Just kidding mate. I threw my carly away after it fried 2 FRM modules and a seat control module. Thanks for this video, I will certainly put the Otofix on my "must have" list.
Carly is garbage. Not to mention the surprise annual bills. Subscripton format is a FAIL.
Hello. I own F25 35i from over one year now. I'm located in Bulgaria and the car comes from USA and I found that the authorised BMW garages here refuse to do some things for me like activating the navigation to work with Europe map, closing my windows from my remote control ( in America it's not allowed this extra) and I was wondering if having this device I could do that without breaking something trying it? I didn't use anything at all in my live messing with my car by my self and I was wondering if it's worth trying something like that, knowing I'm beginner in this? 🙂 Thanks in advance and sorry for the long message.
What tool would you recommend to code/program a BMW f20? Got a pre LCI like your 135 but with a 1.6T n13 and want to learn how retrofit heated seats. They fitted but need sorting out on the modules... Already got e sys but haven't tried anything
E sys I reccomend my friend 🙏 just VO code it and done code all relevant modules and it’s sorted FEM , IHKA and done
@@BMWDoctor would you know how to get the DRL working after replacing a damaged light? 😭
@@BMWDoctor thanks for the info 💯👊🏽 god bless you man hope you had a good holiday
Hey Dean great info!! Just to reassure myself, can the Otofix and IM608 update(and fix) DME and FRM modules??
The IM608 definitely can as for OTOFIX you can but you will need to buy another adapter onto of the IM61 which is around £30 to be able to do it and then the OTOFIX can do it. Overall the otofix is probably the best bang for the buck just you compromise on screen size.
Very true... But u need to know what's the use for the radiator shutter
For f10... I don't get it.. Can you do with out it
500$+ for scan tool… when bimmer has a download for less than 20$
Alright, so if this software IS enemy number one of BMW right know, how they can bring programming updates to single units of the cars, by the other side you said that you can clone ECUs and do whatever thing so, it's suitable for being a single tool to do ecu remappings, i am very interested into remappings but i get Lost with the hardware so many people trying to sell their products and honestly very very few looks trusty for that
Looks good….🙌🏾
Thank you 😋
Is it ok to use Inpa?
I'm the owner of the e61 m5 and e64 m6.
So you can do all the bleeding procedures and clutch adaption and so on with the fabulous otofix? So I can really just put ista in the trash can and spend money on otofix? Is it the smart thing to do?
The truth is yes you can you can do it all with the otofix if you don't believe me go and see for yourself I have used it many many times on my M5 without the need of Ista for a very very long time.
Ive had the im608pro when it first came out right before the summer which is the better version of im608 because the new xp400 anyway yeah i downloaded ista + yada yada yada went crazy getting it to work becase its always some stupid fvkery to get bmw software working....and honestly my SCanner does the same shit .....other than custom retrofitting but than again u could use ESys instead of ista ....
Because wiring diagrams

Bro name a scan tool that resets my dpf counter
Can you please make a video guide on how to specifically delete the post cat o2 sensors(down stream, bank 1-2, sensor 2, rear sensor) for a catless car?
I'd done everything from foulers to simulators and none of it works. Even though new o2 sensors and did everything again to see if it would work and it didn't. Last resort is to flash the codes out of my ECU.
Please consider making a video like that. I would greatly appreciate it!!
Not last resort. The first and best way to do this is to disable the error codes in the ECU. This is the method of choice.
Get a tune
Can it do a F10 5 series brake bleed/
Ista is for the chosen one
What you saying then every BMW is a chosen one ? I think not every tom , Dick & Harry have ista these days and most dont even know how to look after there cars or clean there house properly let alone be a chosen one for ista. Its readily available and anyone can get it therefore it aint for the chosen one anymore
@@BMWDoctor go Autel 💪💪💪💪
its sold out
Really appreciate this truth coming from an expert like you👍
I've been using the Autel IM608 for almost 2 years now, & honestly when I bought it almost all the people saw me using this device said "you've invested way too much in one tool" & my response was the same as your's I would just say "you don't know what a beast it is, just wait & see"😉
But truly appreciate your opinion & being vocal about this fact & bringing it up to your audience, Thanks for sharing, looking forward to your IM608 un-boxing video👍
Thanks for backing me up on this I completely agree I love that tool I used it a few times now but always having to borrow my friends one, Now I have bought my own one waiting of it to come and I cant wait I will be doing many videos with it.
@@BMWDoctor Awesome, looking forward to more great content👍
I think I messed up with INPA…. Do you have any experience with fault code 5DD2 - Inlet valve data missing (DSC) ?
Did you ever figure it out
Man i would kill for one of these.
How about topdon tool…
So if you know every fault now. OK BMW X5 2015 no start. Customer drove vehicle day before. Next day key in dash and start button pressed. Dash lights disappeared and crank just couple revolutions. CAS no communication. Main relay message. So whats the fault.?
You forgot the codes.
I guarantee.. this won’t connect to most B lol
Diagzone is cheaper
Does these scan tools give as exact codes as ista does?
It does indeed ! Exact fault codes everytime even ones that won’t show. It’s one of the best tools I use now fully and you will see me use it a lot more truly because it’s ease of use.
@@BMWDoctor so it can code bmw right ?
