foxscanner virus
Hi All,
I bought the schwben tool from ECS. First impression was great, however, when I was trying to download the foxscanner software, my computer indicated it had a virus and would not let me download it.
Anyone else experience this?
I may return it if I cannot update to include other vehicles.
Help!

It works for the R53, but as far as coding it will just recode some factory modules, not coding like changing factory setting for lights and such. Possible in the future with more update.

I want to reprogram the locks and turn off the driving lights. Would that be possible?
#90
Driving lights is full coding and lock full coding (for new keys) is a security thing and dealership done. Or if you are just wanting like "lock after driving" feature turned on that is a coding thing. Those are all full coding.

I just bought one and it came today Im going to try it out on my F56. I didnt have any issues with flags of viruses or malware, the software installed just fine. At first, however I was a bit confused. I had gone to the website directly and registered and tried to download the updates from the website. The links wont do anything. Then It dawned on me to download the scanner software first, and found it under the NT510 product page ( identical in looks to the Schwaben tool). Once I installed the FoxScan software I was able to login with my new account and get the software update.

Just an update, for a short time the scan tools are on sale.

a good thread... have read lots of thread about Schwaben tool and Foxwell tool
most say no difference except the shape
and i did see someone post a photo of his Schwaben tool manual and "Foxwell NT510" there
my question is Schwaben for $200 and Foxwell tool for $150... same tool with different brands? marketing tricks?
i'm considering this one http://www.eobdtool.co.uk/wholesale/...m-scanner.html
anyone has experience of this Foxwell nt510?

Maps the same as the R56 and above, now the F56 (newer BMW style LKM and main body control module) has a more complex test system so you will have more options there on the test list function when I hooked it up. That's what i could see, like access and test the Nav and camera function, which is good when down the road and you're out of warranty.

I thinks it's reverse when it comes to the R53 vs R56+. There is very limited functionality with Schwben scanner on the R53 compared to the newer model Mini's. It's a good tool, would have been nicer if it did more on the R53.
