Everywhere it is for sale, the listings say 1993-2003 BMWs. Can anyone confirm / deny whether it will work on an R56 (2007 Copper S)?

I'm dealing with my second airbag light in a few weeks. The first one was cleared by my mechanic. It was related to loss of power while I was replacing the battery. No idea what this one will be, as I've not done anything this time.

 

Also, is it true that the SRS module needs to be replaced after three codes? That would mean this time is my last shot at clearing it before it needs to be replaced?

 

Mechanic trip. Talk to them.

 

Understand mechanic trip is a likely outcome. However my reason for asking was to undertand if there is a way to take care of clearing these codes on my own without the mechanic, especially as it was a benign code last time.

 

The evidence suggests that the B200 doesn't work for R56. If you Google for B200 airbag reset, you'll see lots of references to R50-R53-R52, but not a single reference (that I can see by casual glance) to R56. This wouldn't be surprising because the car electronics changed almost 100% with the R56.

 

I was saying mechanic trip to ask them what they use.
