Code Reader and Code Clearing Tool

Stealth7 · 02-21-2020, 04:31 PM

If I wanted a tool that was easy to plug into a 2020 M5 Comp. to read and clear codes, what do you suggest?

Currently, and to my knowledge, I do not have any codes. However, there could come a time when it would be nice to be able to read and clear codes.

This does not need to be the mac-daddy of all scan tools, just something quality and useful.

Thanks for your thoughts!

I use a Bluetooth adapter and an app on my phone

JB4 has BMW spec code read and delete built in.

What about a Schwaben Professional Scan Tool?

Not sure I need the capabilities of JB4 vs say RC. Of course my car will likely just stay stock.

Amazon has a host of OBDII clearing tools for cheap.

This one clears any issues Ive had with multiple tuned cars. (Ive got RC on my F90 but my error code is for something unrelated)

Thanks Vic!

Looks like a much better deal then the scanner that I found.
