Cool Diagnostics for all new Minis - and you can modify the service interval!
FES Auto now carries the Bavarian Technics diagnostic software for new Minis and BMWs. The software does all the standard OBD-II stuff (read and clear codes, data logging etc.) and much much more. It can read troublecodes from most (all?) of the Minis subsystems so you can find that pesky wheel speed sensor that's giving the DSC system fits or hunt down the source of the Airbag light (and clear it!)
But by far my FAVORITE feature is that you can alter the mileage remaining on the service intervals! And do it without affecting the service counter!
So you can shorten the time the car thinks it will take to get to an oil change or whatever without incrementing the counter! The possibilities are endless. Check out this video!
The Enthusiast version (shown above) is limited to three VINs and doesn't have the Command Console (included in the professional version below).
There's a "professional" version as well that has no VIN limits, and an added feature of a "command console" where you can send values to the car. Includes the standard OBD-II to early BMW round diagnostic converter cable.
