Full Access Diagnostic Tool

fdc · 11-24-2015, 11:05 PM

Guys I need your help/suggestions getting a professional diagnostic tool.

The CRP 229 Full Access Diagnostic is expensive (http://www.amazon.com/CRP-229-Full-A...ds=The+CRP+229) but it seems able to access all car modules.

Do you know/use/recommend it? Any other equivalent or better option?

thanks

fdc

Why not use the official BMW tool - INPA?

What are you wanting to do with it? With a coding cable and software you can read errors and code options into all the modules for pretty cheap. There's also the Carly for BMW app that provides some options in an easier to use format, but its not as robust as the coding software.

If not, you can piece together an ICOM kit. I dont know how well the imitation ones work.

Otherwise, there is an orange tablet that I have seen 2 different BMW mechanics use. I forgot the name though.
