What Diagnostic Tool to Buy?
Looking for a tool I can use to reset fault codes on my 2018 530i, in particular the "Emergency Call System Malfunction" after I replace the faulty TCB battery.
In addition it would be used for resetting maintenance reminders for oil changes, etc. There are many listed on Amazon, but I'm weary of buying one and finding it doesn't allow me to reset the call system fault. Thanks in advance! |

Thank you for the suggestion. That looks very user-friendly and covers what I'm looking to do.

If you're somewhat computer savvy, I'd find a copy of ISTA (official BMW diagnostic software the dealers use). It's the best out there and can run test plans for any issues/codes you have.

Maybe a little more complex than I'd be looking for, but thanks for the suggestion.

Second. ISTA+ is the Gold Standard for diagnostics on this model.
