SRS Code Clear Tool?

I have a 2011 Cooper hatchback with the SRS light on. The dealer said it needed a new driver's side airbag so I dished out the $600+ to buy a new one and installed it. But the SRS light is still on. They say it takes a tool to clear the light and they want $150 minimum to clear it. I think a tool costs less than that and even if it was more, I'd spend it elsewhere rather than pay more to these robbers at the dealership.

Can anyone suggest an OBDII tool that can clear the SRS code on an R56? Lots of choices out there and some say "Mini" others say "SRS on most..." but I already have two of these and neither works with the R56 SRS code.

Thanks!

I have a launch 129p it works great. When picking out a reader do your homework allot of the ones you pick up at auto parts stores don't play well with European cars. You also have to be careful buying launch products there are a ton of knockoffs out there. not sure if you do allot of diy car repairs but if you do having a good reader is a great thing.

The iCarSoft i910 at $80 is the way to go here. Much less expensive than the others and cleared the code just as needed! Thanks!
