I am a bit of a computer geek so I don't need a nice Romanian girl to install it ( although I am happy for her to help me plug in my cable so to speak ) So my question is what do I need to get? I'm thinking I would need a USB supported solution but not sure what solution or even if I need to get software specific to my vehicle. My understanding in order to do this is I will need to get hold of the tool you guys have been discussing in this forum. I have had other issues all about the same sort of thing and have come to the conclusion that I may as well reset the thing myself. I then have the hassle of going back to the dealers. After aboutġk miles or so it comes on again. I have a 745i and want to be able to reset the warnings example the engine management light keeps coming on I have to go to the dealers and they say there isn't any fault so the just reset the warning. Has anyone bought cables from any of these sources? That would be one difference I see to justify the price difference between these software/cable packages compared to the more expensive BM Technic package.

It also appears these blue cables are generic quality. The packages sold by BM Cables and BMW Cables appear to be the exact same item and same seller. I am thinking of purchasing the BM Technic cable, but I would like to know how it compares to the other cables, such as the ones sold on eBay from the UK ( bmw-cable-com, bmwdaignosticcable-com, cable-shack) or from Romania ( catastefy, bmwfanatiq, diy_bmw_garage). What are your experiences regarding the quality and reliability of the diagnostic cables available from the various sellers? However my concern is in regards to the diagnostic cables available for this software.

With the advent of one-click installations and program launchers this seems to no longer be the case. Previously the installation of the software was both involving and time consuming for the average/casual user. I am looking to purchase the readily available BMW diagnostic/coding software (DIS/GT1, TIS, SSS, NCS.) and an OBD II to USB cable.Īll the online sellers of this software sell essentially the same 'cracked/hacked' BMW dealer level software.
