I use my phone as a wifi comnection. I already repair many of my neighborhood cars. This cements my troubleshooting credibility and methoodology. A game changer.
I contacted topdon about purchasing a unit that can relearn valvetronic motor settings on n46 engine they recommended ad 900 bt,which is a step up from this unit,fingers crossed it works
Is this diagnostic tool restricted by any kind of subscription on yearly basic? you know pay 400€ but use it one year and after that they lock everything except code reading..
Hey will this run the diagnostic test on the 745 LI sway bar. I am trying to find the one you used on the video that you did the diagnostic on yours with but link wasn't working, and this one looks a lot more pro
I've just got the 2024 version on the back of your video and others, you no longer get the adapters, you get more functionality. Very nice tool, already half paid for in the first weeks work!
@@michaelbamber4887me too, after watching the mini video coding in cruise control. Bought the parts and the tool and added cruise to my 2013 Countryman. Cool bit of kit.
George although it’s only 2 years of updates do you think it will need updating afterwards , just asking as i guess it will become an expensive bit of kit for,
For a hobbyist or DIYer a scanner tool is probably overkill. I use Carly to read out the fault codes and I have just got me a ISTA cable to do the DSC brake bleed.
@@GeorgeAusters true but unless your a garage how many brands do I need. I own 3 but that’s not the average person who would only need 1 or 2 manufacturers.
I use Bimmercode for coding, Bimmerlink for Diagnosis and a bluetooth ODBCII connector and just do it all from my phone. The apps are powerful and all you need really. A lot cheaper than this kit although nice to have a big screen.

Yes
@@GeorgeAusters Thanks I think I will get this one
gonna stick with my ista, inpa and bimmer-tool :D this could come in handy if i worked on other cars not just bmws
Whats the difference between the 2023 model to the 2024 model?
The 2.0 version has a 8mp camera and some upgraded maintenance services and some software upgrades
I must have missed it in the vids George, but what did you do to cure the engine cutting out issue with the E46?
Watch my previous e46 videos👍🏻
Hi George, I’m considering this tool
How are the coding features for BMW?
I have the more basic one that doesn’t code, is it worth the upgrade
I've retrofitted cruise control into 2 BMWs with it now. It's a great bit of kit!
@@GeorgeAusters Thanks for the reply. can I do things like automatic door locking and light flash when locking the car?
I have the artidiag 900
@@GadgetMart Yes you can mate
@@GeorgeAusters ok returning mine.
Thanks for the advice cheers
@@GeorgeAusters you're kidding, it will code cruise control?? I might get it just for this...
The round round socket is for E30 BMW.
Are the updates free and unlimited like other models?
2 years free updates I believe
After that they're a bit pricey. @@GeorgeAusters
Whats a decent model scanner that includes updates with no fees?
@@danskinner467 This one
I cant see the scanner only the reply. Which on is it?
@@GeorgeAusters
It is well worth the price for anyone serious about mechanical\diagnostics. I want one! Awesome review.
Looks very similar to my Launch CRP919E, except the Launch has some navigation buttons too.
Can you programme key?
It’s OBD1 BMW e30/e36
Yep that was my thoughts!
Still have my E36 M3 Evo so definitely fits👍
Can you program keys?
Nice piece of kit! Seen it before and it's handy when you're not having Ista at hand.
Do you need a paid subscription like Carly?
No subscription needed👍🏻
2 years free updates, then there's a cost if you want to keep it up to date.
get bimmer-tool its like ista in your pocket and super cheap
Ha ha, that old adapter you had, as an old man, is for bmws from the early 90s. Why you would need that, I'd never know. 😂

Only two years free updates! Wonder how much after that?
I’ve had ISTA for 3 years, never once updated it👍🏻

500? I will pass it 😅
Why can’t someone get a scan advertised for around £100 think you’d get more people buying them than something for £500 there is a recession on lol

@Stevie M I agree with the £100 price point I would have taken a punt for that price but £500 is a no from me. :)
Cheap scan tools are restricted and most apps / dealer softwares are restrictive to just one manufacturer👍🏻
