Schwaben BMW/MINI scan tool VS Launch CRP129
I was about to buy the Schwaben BMW/Mini scan tool from ECS Tuning (on sale now) for my 04 Cooper S JCW and ran across reviews of the Launch CRP129 which has built in software for many vehicles in addition to Minis. Has anyone compared the capability of the Launch CRP129 VS the Schwaben scanner? It would be nice to have one scanner that covers my Mini, Jaguar, Honda, Land Rover, Jeep(s) and others in one package, but my choice would be the Schwaben if the CRP129 has only limited Mini functionality.

Its programmed with the professional version for BMW/MINI/ Roll Royce, but has a normal basic OBD2 reader for all other cars.

There's a way to "recalibrate" the windows that I had to do when they suddenly stopped going up/down when opening/closing the door.
1. Sit in the car, and put the key in position 1, so you have power to the windows.
2. Push and hold down the window switch, and keep it held down for 5-30 seconds after the window is all the way down. This resets the memory
3. Roll window back up, and release switch.
Not sure, but maybe that might help.

It seems odd that both windows stopped working at the same time and the window fuses are OK, but both just do the double click thing with no glass movement. I'm not sure if it clicks when I pull the door handle; I should listen for that. I did try holding the unlock button on the fob and the sunroof opens but the windows do not. So far the doors seem to open and close OK even though the windows are not dipping, but it still concerns me.

One weird thing I noticed when working on my car recently is that every time I disconnect the battery and then reconnect it (there's a spark) the windows go down a little bit, maybe 1/4" - 1/2". You could try that just to see what happens, who knows. Note, I've only had my R53 for 1.5 weeks.

What about it you experienced guys; Is there any down side to disconnecting the battery? On my 06 Jaguar SV8 it is recommended you disconnect the battery cables and touch them together for 30 seconds to fix some of the weird problems they can develop. Any advantage to doing that on the Mini?
