you say its "not worth the headache" of dealing with the "inconvenience" of a laptop. But that linked scan tool is $3000 GBP. $3000! I can download ISTA for FREE. And I get that if your a pro, you're doing this so often its worth it. BUT, if you're really a pro, what are you doing on youtube watching videos like these??

This clown really told people to stop using dealer level diagnostic software lol

[humanresource]

Wiring diagrams ALONE are worth buying a pawn-shop laptop & loading it up with black market software
😅🤣😅😂

For the electrical diagnostic it’s the easiest way, and the Chinese tools like Launch, Xtool or Autel will not do even have a half of features, especially actuation tests, I’ve used each of them. They good for reading the codes and for go out diagnostic

[heinifalk]

For me personally I would rather use ISPA P / D as that is what the BMW technicians use and gives in depth repair manuals and servicing manuals that go with it. All the other tools are 3rd party that is a best effort service. Each to his own when it comes to what you would like to use but for me ... ISTA all the way

[brainp]

G30 owner here, For diagnosis sure, but for more and more service repairs, you have to use it. And the power of it is just incredible. We need more content helping people use it than turning home mechanics away

[patrickdreiding]

What tool do you recommend to diagnose a 2006 R52 base convertible . I think I have a Speed Sensor issue but can’t identify which wheel. My symptoms are ABS, Tire pressure, check engine (P1613) lights and wacky temperature gauge.

Thank you for all the videos. What scanner with a good price point will program fuel pump modules etc.. I Have have an e90 as well as an f30 . Any help would be great. Be well,

Hi Dean.
When are you going to upload a video using IM608 to reset FRM module on the bench?

[danielriver]

Dean, which model should I get the D1 and D1 Lite as far as our E92 M3 & E60 M5 applications? I can only find the D1 Lite in US. Do you have a link for the D1 Lite so I can support you?

D1 Lite support all system diagnostics and 28+ service functions and some other functions for most of vehicles.
D1 support all system diagnostics and 28+ service functions + bi-directional control function for most of vehicles.I’m assuming D1 Lite is not Bi-directional; do I need it to be? I have a E92 M3, E60 M5, & F10 535D Thanks

[horayforjoe]

Appreciate the wisdom and recommendations as always, but what about a more affordable option for people who aren't able to drop hundreds-thousands on scan tools?

HELP: Question, disconnected customer's 2021 X3 battery to replace rear passenger handle. Now "Driver Assistance Support Reduced" message and codes are displayed. How canI fix instead of brining it to the Stealership?

[davidantonevich]

What would be the best software/tool to use on an f-series 340i to recode injectors and code m performance brakes if I install the upgraded brake kit?

[bonsailogic]

Hey Dean, thanks! Just bought one of these. Do you know if you can buy the IM1 separately? I don't see it linked or for sale separate from the D1. THANKS!

[ThomasADH]

Can you recomand a tool for speaking with the ABS block ? The block has been changed i think i got to pair it with the car to initiate the purge . BMW E53 2001 3.0i .

[Marksreviewsandtutorials]

[simkondo]

I have 8 different car manufacturers scan tools on my $50 laptop, can cheap scan tools do this?

[audriuskimtys]

With ISTA i agree!! BUT real coding BMW E-Sys with Launcher, MB SCN coding Vediamo and DTS Monaco, seedcalcs and so on. Have IM608 and MaxiSys Elite, but when i had to code paddle shifters to MB only helped Vediamo, so its not so magical tablets that can do everything. Thanks for videos!!!!

[darylwilliams]

Hello Dean, I have an R56 mini and need to code a new JBE Module, what tool would you recommend?
