I already got me one it’s on the way. Bro you one of the few who really go into details about coding and other features I appreciate you and your knowledge it’s make me a better programmer and all around knowledgeable about my BMW’s
I'm glad you did a video on the Launch BMW. I purchased one a couple months back, but haven't actually had the chance to put it through its paces. Given the functionality and amazing price point, IMO this is THE scanner to have for BMW DIY'ers. Just as an FIY, one tricky thing about it can be getting it connected up to your WiFi for updates... I had to ratchet down my router's encryption to get it to eventually connect. After that it updated straightaway and worked exactly as Dr. Dean demonstrated.
Dean, I have creador C310+ for both my E39 five years ago! It has been a great BMW scanner! The Creador Elite you demo is few notches up from 310! Will be checking it out! Creador Scanners are great for BMW’s!
I was hoping you we're going to review this. It saved me from a immobilizer tampering fault at Christmas, it's certainly paid for itself already. I've done my Bluetooth module and a battery replacement with it. He'll of a tool for £100 pounds. No doubt it will creep up in price as it gets more popular. 👍
How were you able to diagnose your immobilized tampering ? I to have this tool and have had it for about a year now. I’m actually dealing with the same type of issue now but having a lot of trouble figuring it out.
cool scanner but was disapointed there was only 3 actuation tests for e46 , no way to test vanos cam sensors or anythin unless theres a way to buy more actuation tests im not aware of?
Perfect! My iDrive stopped working. First I thought my monitor was bad or replace the CCC. OBD2 scan said it's in transport mode but has no special option to delete it. I'll be ordering one of these 👍🏾
Great vid. I have a creator bmw specific tool bought about 4-5 years ago. Doesnt do coding but it does all I need it to. Cost me about £50 but this one for £100 is a no brainer. Will definitely get one. Cheers 👍
Got the product, well good, thanks for recommending. Now, can you show us all hoe to get rid of the seatbelt chime with this exact tool please. Merry Christmas and Hoppy New Year Doctor.
I've just purchased one for the increased price of £149 (£133 with discount) thanks for the heads up. I see these suddenly skyrocketing in price as they really do seem like a great bit of kit. 👍
Great review and video I own a different model Creator Diagnostic tool the C310, I am not sure I need all these features, however one BMW feature I dislike is the doors locking while driving on my 2001 530i, my previous 2001 530i, and 1998 BMW 528is didn't do that.
Good video, I have had one of these with Mercedes specific software. The 'version' software is there for life. It is possible to download other makes software but it is limited licence (I got a year of Audi software for about £40) Just changed to a G31, sold the Creader Elite and considering buying one specifically for the BMW. Anyone know if the coding would enable Speed Limit Information SLI, to be shown on dash?, I understand that a bit of coding in the VO and insertion of an FSC is required if done on laptop. Is it likely this would work? or will it simply switch on and off features as built at factory?.
after your review of the otofix, i purchased the otofix d1 pro, so i am interested to find out if this lauch scanner will do anything my d1 pro cannot do for me..cheers for the videos fella, your a star
Hi Dean, I bought this as per your recomendation. Been a good tool for my F48 2018. I can't seem to get to reset the Transmission adaptation values with it though. Can you advise please? Will it do it? How do you do it? Thanks
Can this habd held tool re code to get rid of warnings, like the levelling warning that happens after coil spring replacement to the rear of an E70 X5. Great site!!!
This tool has my interest but there is no documentation I can find on coding capabilities based on your car’s model. I have a an E46 2004 325i and really need to know what coding options (if any) are available with this tool. Does anyone know?
Just changed my abs sensor from f25 x3. How do I recode it to bm or do it learn. Do I need to retrofit option ,or do I need to buy from Mall Thanks mickyrobbo
Question I hope you answer , can I do a circuit counter reset with this ? My reverse light no working due there was a short circuit cuz i iNstalled LEDS. Fixed everything and my FRM IS ALSO good. Could I reset the fault with this and have them working again??? PLEASE ANYTHING WOULD HELP. Thanks a lot from FL
Hi Dean, GREAT explanation on this Reader unit!! I drive a 2013 bmw x5 35i engine E70 LCI , i have question(1) can this C reader allow me access my vehicles computer to turn OFF" fog light bulbs check" setting, during startup. the problem i have is, I replaced my fog light bulbs with newer Led bulbs, now my both fog lights will flash intermittently for 15-20 seconds when the vehicle is first started and also, occasionally a"left fog light bulb defective" will show up in my instrument panel . i know it is because of my changing my oem fog bulbs to LED. next Question ( 2) My instrument cluster is not so "bright" and looks dull and dimmer than i like it to be. Can I use this "C reader Elite, to go into my vehicle computer setting and use this reader to brighten my dash/instrument Cluster in any setting??? ty great videos Dean!! good work!! ty in advance
How does it compare to the Foxwell nt510 elite in functions? Obviously the design and screen are different. Is one better than the other in terms of functions? Foxwell has been recommended a lot in the BMW community.
Hi buddy, you said it can reprogram the BMW, do you mean reset modules or can it reprogram ? What can it reprogram and have you had success with reprograming and do you have any tips for using it ? Thank you.
Can you show how to remove fault codes (RECODE) that occur after changing airbag suspension to coil springs PLEASE, like i have done in MY 2007 X5 E70. On your recommendation I've just purchases the LAUNCH.
I have this tool. I bought it because it said it could code TPMS sensors. Well, I’m still trying to figure out how to do that using this on my 2008 series E90. I’ve tried many menu options and it seems it doesn’t actually do this so I will probably return it.
Since i am struggling with my retrofitted nbtevo id5 (carplay fullscreen..): is that product able to upgrade the firmware of an ecu? Thanks for the review
Hi. loving the videos, working my way through your back catalogue. This looks like a great Scanner for the price . You mentioned it is possible to reprogram with the Creader Elite. Would it be possible to reprogram a used airbag module from another E90 to work in my vehicle with it. If not, which model from Otofix offers ths functionality? Cheers.
Thanks for the video. I know you said it can’t program but I’m asking in case there’s a different terminology. If you install a new light module, would this machine allow you to reprogram the system for the new part?
Doh I just got a TopDon one. It registers a battery replacement but disappointingly didn’t all you to set the new capacity. Does this do the coding to updating battery size / capacity?
As a BMW owner, was interested, but the link took me to: "LAUNCH X431 Creader Elite obd2 Scanner For AUDI" Couldn't find the BMW one. Could you relink it? Thanks.
Good day Dean, I may need to replace my TCM on my wife’s 03 x5. I know the module is VIN specific. Will this unit allow me to program a new TCM? Thank you

Hey Dean I have a 2006 e60 525xi. Do I need to register a battery if I am replacing it with the same exact agm battery. Does this tool register the battery?I have had this new battery on for 2 years as I did not know about the registering procedure.
I have a 2011 BMW 328 i x. When it is not running, it has a heartbeat sound that you can hear in the driver footwell and driver side engine compartment. What causes this?
I am ready to buy this as we have an 07 328i and a 08 x3 .. curious if you think i can recode my low headlight.. had short in Right headlight wiring.. all fixed but circuit took low beam out of service to save? the system circuitry,, so been driving around with no low beam on right headlight,, do you think this will work for me?
Can you clarify which product should I purchase in the U.S.? I clicked the link and it takes me to Amazon UK (understandably), but is this what I should buy for US use? Thank you
Click here to buy the product in my video : amzn.to/3HlqTdP
You should add a Amazon link to purchase this scanner in the USA.
