I am looking for an OBD tool that will read ALL of the CEL codes that the MINI throws. In my experience, something like a Scangauge or Antec does not read all codes.

Can someone recommend a tool and/or software that will read all codes?

I am trying to figure out the cause of a 1/2 power CEL and fed up with going to the dealer and wasting money.

 

bavarian technic diagnostic software. It reads all mini specific codes. It's what I plan on buying soon.

 

bavarian technic is a great product, but it requires you to use a Laptop.

there is an app for the iPhone and Android called BMWhat

Just downloaded BMWhat and ordered a WiFi adapter. Will give it a try.

 

Bavarian Technic looks like a winner. I will look into that.

Thanks for the responses.

 

+1 Great tool for reading and clearing codes. Reads 16 different ECU's even the tranny and will also code the CAS, KOMBIE and FRM modules on my car. Not a replacement for NCS Expert but nice to have when you don't want to drag out the laptop.

 

I ordered a $17 WiFi connector but am looking at the OBDLink MX Wifi. If I like the software, I'll probably pickup one of these. They are 4x faster then what's on the market today if using WiFi.

 

Yikes ! $59 for android. Guess I need to see what else it does coding wise that would make it worth the cost.

What adapter did you get?

Do they make one for iPhone?

 

Wonder if BMWWhat can identify which wheel sensor has failed (normally a trip to the dealer for their gear).

 

Any idea how long it has been since your MINI's software was updated? My 2008 MCS will display that info - it was added during an update a couple years ago.

 

Doh! Second Gen Forum - daymn.

Mine is an 05 R53 with a new stock JCW map last year. I'd hope they'd have updated anything while in there.

 

Dan, this is what I have. I use it with Dash Command on my iPhone, but it also seems to work with the BMW app mentioned; I downloaded the free version to test.
