So no go on the 21' ? Any time in the future ?

Not at present. Ideally down the road it will happen but that is dependent on cracking encryption so who knows what kind of timetable that will ultimately be.

Damn by then we'll all be on the forum like a Tesla forum

"So today my battery was acting weird"
"Take it to BMW "
"Okay good idea"
"This shit sucks"

Or

"I'm in the Bay Area , can I borrow a charger , all the chargers are full I need to get to a meeting ?"

I have FOMO for my unborn son .

Damn you Elon , who let this guy out though ?

Hey, I’ve gotten a couple scanners that don’t actually clear the light. What model fox well are you using?

I think you can update the Foxwell. At least the NT510 that I have that has been superseded by a 520 or 530. I have not updated mine yet, which is older than my M5, but plan to. I can also read and clear codes with the JB4. And I have a laptop loaded with bmw software that can do all sorts of things but I don’t understand most of them. You can buy these for around $500 or at least that is what I paid about a year ago. I haven not yet done coding with it but I have reset adaptions and read and cleared codes.
