What is the best scanner you can get for a Mini R56?

I'm not asking what is the cheapest. Just what is the best with the Mini Cooper codes and not a generic Auto Zone do it all piece of crap that does not have BMW/Mini codes in it.

A listing of the codes would also be good to have.

 

Get a BMW compatible J2534 pass-through-tool. DrewTech has one model, the Mongoose is not BMW approved I have discovered.

Then you subscribe to minitechinfo.com with a 24 hour pass ($30), one month or one year options.

You connect the tool to your laptop (recommend a dedicated laptop) and then to the internet.

With this setup you have the COMPLETE dealer toolset (short of the key programming) for diagnostic and programming/coding of BMW and MINI.

 

If a laptop based system is acceptable, look at Bavarian Technic: http://www.fes-auto.com/productsbavtec.php

 

i have a $39 one and it works just fine on the mini. ive decided that autozones is just crap i ran into a guy lastnight that had a light on in his wrx, he told me autozone couldnt check it so i tried and it worked just fine on his too
