Good video and scanner review it was very informative. I wish I would have bought your scanner, I bought a Creatdor C310+, a few years ago and it does not have a battery reset feature and some of the other functions that yours has, although my 2001 BMW 530i does not require it.
Its a very good scanner the scanner do the job well can also register the BMW battery,ABS,check,delete codes with no problem for sure too say it easy thnxs a lot;) but of course the video speak for this 100 say it that way.
This is a total winner, for the price also. Great for weekend warriors like me just want to know what's going on, but will have their mechanic do any of the more serious work...
That's what I was thinking when I got it. Sure, I have others that will do more.. but they also cost 5 times more. This will do pretty much everything you need it to do for a good price.
Haha the only function I wanted to check was a fault on my zed steering angle reset ...the one you didn't show haha oh well I'm hoping it works to recalibrate this...thanks for the video.👍

I'm watching this in 2022. Went on line to look at the manual and couldn't find info on the "transport mode reset" Can this perform that duty? I have a 2007 Z4, 39,800 miles. The battery keeps going dead over the winter, so loose my A/C operation and some fan speeds. Will this tool reset that function? Thanks for your video on this tool. I'm miles away from a BMW service or independent service locations, so this could be helpful to me. Also, the battery will not hold a charge, so may be time for a new battery. Thanks for your response. =D=
Just a quick question...does this device Check on A/C for example, my A/C doesn't distribute the temperature proportionally. One vent is very cold and the other is warm or not cold. I did some research and it's the blend door sensor or switch. But I need to figure out which one is it and with this tool would find which one it is? Or any recommendations. I have a 2005 BMW 545i
I bought this scanner two days ago for my e60 and damn did I found 9 codes that I didn’t know The car had because it didn’t show up on the check engine light but sadly I can’t register my battery for some reason due to Communication issues
Nice video; thank you! However, when you introduced AUTEL AP200, I ordered one! I haven't had to use it much so far (thank God for that!) As far as I gather though, AP200 offers all the things that this Ancel one does; isn't that correct?
You’re correct, Autel AP200 can do most everything this one can do, but it is much slower to connect (fine if you need it once in a while, annoying if you use it daily). Both are great, slightly different uses. Thanks for watching!
Does it only just read & delete the fault codes or it can also help programme the functions of interior exterior lights, windows, central locking system AC and the whole nine yards?
I like these types of scanners because they just work. With the phone one, it may or may not work if you have bad internet connection, sometimes it doesn't connect to bluetooth well etc etc. This just works and even if the company goes out of business, it will still work.
Yes, this scanner can scan the central locking system module and every other module on a BMW. It only functions as a regular OBD2 scanner for other cars and cannot scan individual modules like it can on a BMW. This scanner can scan pretty much any car's modules, but is more expensive: ruclips.net/video/gOrdj9lKhVw/видео.html
Hello, have the bm700. While your scanner is on do you ever hear a tic from scanner..Very cold up here. Installed an abs module. Trying to clear warning lights.
You will get BMW specific codes. Not only that, you can scan the individual module and get codes from it and live data on that specific module. Does that mean you’ll know what the problem is 100%? No, but there isn’t a scanner that will do that.
Hi can this roll up my window I think I have a frm control module problem windows won’t go up and blinkers won’t work just trying to get the window up for now
New subscriber here a couple of days ago i was in the market for a great scan tool for my e60 and i found ur creator c501 video and u convinced me to buy that one Lol now i want this one which one is better? Also will can this one code a new key fob?
Thanks for the sub! I would say this one is a little better because it has the special functions the c501 doesn't. This can program injectors, idle, register batteries, etc. It cannot program keys, no.
Great video, i watched several time at the point that you made me bid in one on this device in ebay, waiting now for this new toy to be delivered. I have a concern about when you replace battery and register battery, my Q is about if there is way when you replace the battery not to loose all the set up already done like radio preferences?

Just received my BM700 scanner for my 2009 e89 and decided to give it a try. I know your demo was on your 5 series and the ecu is a little more sophisticated than my e89 but have you tried the I/M function on your e89? The one thing I couldn't bring up is the I/M readiness menu. It's not shown on the screen like in your demo (3 ecu choices) and it doesn't show up on the display by simply pressing the I/M function button, Am I missing something? or are the I/M readiness faults (if any) stored in just the one ecu menu? In your battery registration BM700 video (while scanning your e89) I noticed at the 3:24 mark there is an option to clear all fault codes would that be a viable option? or should the faults be cleared one at a time?
Make sure your car is in accessory mode when checking I/M, other than that it should work. As far as clearing codes, I normally clear all codes when I start working on a car or project, then go on a test drive and see what comes back. Then I take it one at a time and erase one module at a time as I fix the issues. Thanks for watching!
@@SimpleCarGuy Thanks for the quick response!!! Quickly pressing the start / stop button 3 times in succession will get me to the accessory / diagnostic mode. Question? What is the process used to get out of the accessory / diagnostic mode? Push the start / stop button twice?
Accessory mode should just be one press on the start button if you have comfort access and putting the key in and pressing the button (dont press the brake). Then you can just press it again to exit or start car normally.
I will be replacing transmission fluid on my BMW 328i 2013 and my question is does this device can read the temperature of transmission oil? I do need know when it get 40C degree. Can you do a demo video? Thanks!
Yes, it can. You can see live data on the transmission module. I won’t be changing transmission oil any time soon, so no video. Sorry! To see the temp, just go to the transmission module and select live data.
Hi, thanks for the video, I'm new to looking at these scanners & really want an affordable one for my BMW, but my wife also has an Audi. Do I need two scanners for both cars? I really like the new battery register function, would this work on the Audi as well or not?
Hi Steve! This is a BMW specific scanner. It is a bi-directional scanner (meaning it can write to modules, like registering a battery, programming injectors etc.). These functions will only be available for BMW (Mini and RR) cars. The regular OBD2 scanning will work on any car, including the Audi, but you will not see internal codes or be able to do any of the bi-directional functions. It will act as a standard OBD2 scanner (that can be found for $20) on all cars that aren't BMWs. So, your options are to get this one for BMWs and find an equivalent for the Audi OR get a multi car scanner that can do both (and many others), but those start at around $400. I'm in the process of reviewing one of these and will have a video out in a week or so: amzn.to/2VYJrI9
@@SimpleCarGuy thanks for that info. I've just been looking at a Foxwell NT510, & that lists functions like coding injectors & new battery registration, & I don't think it's BMW specific. Have you had any experience of this brand? Thanks
Thank you for videos. I am a proud owner of my first BMW, a 2016 BMW Z4 sDrive28i. Any advise on keys in the Chicago area. I only have one key and the dealer is asking a lot of money.
You can buy a key without paying for programming and then use Autel (I have a video on this) to program it yourself. Otherwise, I don't believe its possible since the key has to be done by Germany.
Yes, you can. I have upgraded my battery on my 335i from 80 to 90 Ah and was able to program and register it. If you are going from same capacity to the same capacity, you only need to register it (brand does not matter, you are programming the battery module and not the actual battery).
There aren't any codes that will tell you exactly that timing chain has failed, but yes, it will show you codes for all modules including engine ones reporting timing information.
Nice video! Is this the best in the market right now? For bmw? I have intermittent alerts on my f30 320D (abs and flat tyre monitor). I recently changed the sensors and rear shock absorber. My mechanic told me I need a bmw code scanner so I am looking for one that is not picky on scanning faults. I hope this can help me figure out what is wrong with my car.
This is a great BMW scanner for the price. You can get better, but you’ll have to spend 4 times as much. It should work for what you need and I still use it all the time.
Tried once again to register a battery in a 2009 335i. Picked the proper E92/E90 chassis. Did not work. The tool said the reason was “DME/DDE program status cannot save battery change or Terminal 15 was not switched on.” No idea what Terminal 15 is.
Strange, did you have the car in accessory mode? That's what Terminal 15 is. Either you had the car off or engine running (it has to be ON but engine off) or there is something wrong with the DME (engine computer).
@@SimpleCarGuy First of all, I should mention it's not my car but a friends so I'm not 100% familiar with the vehicle. I had the key fob inserted and the engine was off. Is there something else you have to do to have the car ON? There's no Check Engine light illuminated but the car is reporting a low front right tire (I suspect the pressure sensing unit in that tire is bad).
Ok. My unfamiliarity with BMW got me. For the scanner to work properly registering a new battery, it has to be in an “ignition on” but engine off state. Key FOB inserted. DO NOT press the brake pedal (auto transmission). Press START button once or twice to light up the instrument panel. Run the battery registration tool using the scanner. That worked.
I bought one , the battery registry is the best option. No need to head to a dealer or independent shop anymore. Thanks , great video!
I was just looking at buying one to do the battery on mine , can you programme injectors on this aswell
On the battery management, does it allow to code as well as register a new battery, where the battery amperage has been upgraded (e.g. 70Ah to 80Ah) from previous? Thanks.
@@Telstar_1 no it doesn’t, just registering a new battery that is exactly the same capacity and voltage as the old one

Hi, thanks for the video, I'm new to looking at these scanners & really want an affordable one for my BMW, but my wife also has an Audi. Do I need two scanners for both cars? I really like the new battery register function, would this work on the Audi as well or not?
Hi Steve!
This is a BMW specific scanner. It is a bi-directional scanner (meaning it can write to modules, like registering a battery, programming injectors etc.). These functions will only be available for BMW (Mini and RR) cars. The regular OBD2 scanning will work on any car, including the Audi, but you will not see internal codes or be able to do any of the bi-directional functions. It will act as a standard OBD2 scanner (that can be found for $20) on all cars that aren't BMWs.
So, your options are to get this one for BMWs and find an equivalent for the Audi OR get a multi car scanner that can do both (and many others), but those start at around $400. I'm in the process of reviewing one of these and will have a video out in a week or so: amzn.to/2VYJrI9
@@SimpleCarGuy thanks for that info. I've just been looking at a Foxwell NT510, & that lists functions like coding injectors & new battery registration, & I don't think it's BMW specific. Have you had any experience of this brand? Thanks
@@stevesas632 I haven't used that one, but I've reviewed this one if you'd like to take a look: ruclips.net/video/gOrdj9lKhVw/видео.html
look at buying a autel scanner you can by each cars software on the machine for £16 each that way all your cars are stored in on machine
Thank you for videos. I am a proud owner of my first BMW, a 2016 BMW Z4 sDrive28i. Any advise on keys in the Chicago area. I only have one key and the dealer is asking a lot of money.
You can buy a key without paying for programming and then use Autel (I have a video on this) to program it yourself. Otherwise, I don't believe its possible since the key has to be done by Germany.
Will this scanner code x6 bmw injector?
How do I check the transmission
Scan the car and then go into the transmission system/module. You'll have the options there to see live data or check codes.
Hello great video! Can you register a non BMW battery? I bought a battery from Costco for my 2015 BMW 435i
Yes, you can. I have upgraded my battery on my 335i from 80 to 90 Ah and was able to program and register it. If you are going from same capacity to the same capacity, you only need to register it (brand does not matter, you are programming the battery module and not the actual battery).
Quick question does this scanner read codes regarding timing chain failure
There aren't any codes that will tell you exactly that timing chain has failed, but yes, it will show you codes for all modules including engine ones reporting timing information.
So do you feel this will superceded all your previous scanners?
Yes, it does everything my Autel AP200, creator c501 did, but much much faster.
Nice video! Is this the best in the market right now? For bmw? I have intermittent alerts on my f30 320D (abs and flat tyre monitor). I recently changed the sensors and rear shock absorber. My mechanic told me I need a bmw code scanner so I am looking for one that is not picky on scanning faults. I hope this can help me figure out what is wrong with my car.
This is a great BMW scanner for the price. You can get better, but you’ll have to spend 4 times as much. It should work for what you need and I still use it all the time.
@@SimpleCarGuy Thank you! would you recommend this than foxwell 510 elite, FIXD, autel, or autophix?
where is the dpf function ???
can this work for non european cars as well? Honda or Toyota?
This is a BMW specific scanner. It can only do simple OBD2 scan for everything else which a $25 scanner can do.
Do you think this scanner would be able to make the seat calibration message go away? 2011 535i
It can definitely clear the code that will make the message go away, but if there is an issue with the module or sensor etc. it will come back
Tried once again to register a battery in a 2009 335i. Picked the proper E92/E90 chassis. Did not work. The tool said the reason was “DME/DDE program status cannot save battery change or Terminal 15 was not switched on.” No idea what Terminal 15 is.
Strange, did you have the car in accessory mode? That's what Terminal 15 is. Either you had the car off or engine running (it has to be ON but engine off) or there is something wrong with the DME (engine computer).
@@SimpleCarGuy First of all, I should mention it's not my car but a friends so I'm not 100% familiar with the vehicle. I had the key fob inserted and the engine was off. Is there something else you have to do to have the car ON? There's no Check Engine light illuminated but the car is reporting a low front right tire (I suspect the pressure sensing unit in that tire is bad).
Ok. My unfamiliarity with BMW got me. For the scanner to work properly registering a new battery, it has to be in an “ignition on” but engine off state. Key FOB inserted. DO NOT press the brake pedal (auto transmission). Press START button once or twice to light up the instrument panel. Run the battery registration tool using the scanner. That worked.
Does it also works on a 2019 Honda Pilot? Thanks in more power to your channel.
It can do the basic OBD2 functions, but it can only do all the cool stuff (like reading individual modules) on BMWs only.
